I. The Beginning: Nights of the beautiful
continent Neha gleamed bright with two moons. Beautiful it maybe, but it
was no kind place of humans. For survival the Ancients have discovered a
powerful force they named Terre, the very souls of Neha. By unleashing
its forces, Ancients attempted to gain power over Neha.

They have thought they can tame its powers with mana-technology. However
it was only a futile attempt. Soon after, the Ancients realized that
Terre was destroying balance of the lands. To stop Terre from destroying
Neha completely, Ancients gathered their last resources to seal Terre
forever. A difficult mission, but they overpowered Terre, and have named
seven keepers to defend the seal of seven souls of Terre.

II. The East and The West: The continent
was saved from destruction, yet the devastation was nevertheless great.
Terre has caused a Great Fissure dividing the continent into two, The
East and The West. And powerful ocean currents took over separating
these lands forever.

And now for a thousand year, The East and The West cultures two distinct
civilizations. Ignorant of each others existence. And the knowledge of
the seven souls and its keepers forgotten

III. New Age: 1001th year, The East and
The West witnessed a heavenly devastations. The smaller moon, Babylon
was destroyed, shattered into pieces. The event has changed ocean
currents of Neha unveiling a vast sunken territory that bridged The East
and The West. For the first time in history, two continents learned
about each other. And new lands were to be explored and conquered. New
knowledge were to be discovered and exploited.

The inhabitants of Babylon who escaped the destruction moved to Neha
introduced stunning technology to people of Neha. The West eager to
explore the new lands quickly declared Babylonians as their friends. The
East advanced in astrology and magic took destruction of a Babylon as
an ill omen and kept to their traditions.

lmao tiger rape :3

I just met WuDi and the rest of Reborn guild in CBT. I didn't know he was the same chap from Rohan Online, until they formed their guild (need to be lvl 25 to create).


His pm reaction when he found me was: oh my...O_o

any feedback and review after testing?

Graphics & music
Visually, it's like Aika; the world looks sweet. Of course not to the caliber of B&S or FFXIV. Characters and equipment are well drawn. Combat is eye-candy when skills connect.
Interface windows can be adjusted according to preference. Even word fonts can be customized.
For music, it has a several different tracks between zones.

Gameplay features
Most battles will be engaged in melee. Skills are activated often for combo chains, which can accumulate as long as combat sustains over several targets.

Diablo-style alchemy cube - allows items to be combined/dismantled/copied. Cube recipes are unknown for now.

Crafting - players must master 1 or 2 item type to generate market revenue from sale of crafted gear.

Production - Fishing, farming and mining is another source of wealth for players.

Travel - Two modes of travel exist. Either teleport between major strongholds or enjoy a ride in a flying caravel across the world for small outposts.

Instanced periodic battlegrounds - limited by player level

Instanced dungeons - party based

Card and Insignia bonuses - attribute buffs from these items increase as a char level up

Personal bank, guild bank and market exist here. A mail system that allow remote item transfers between players is also featured.

Quest based - Entirely level quest based. Also, repeatable quests (few) are limited by character level. Eg. a lvl 4 player cannot redo a repeatable lvl 3 quest. So no chance to grind in fixed spots.

Drawbacks about the game
No mounts yet...and a lot of ground to cover when moving.
Gender restrictions in character classes, which is limited to begin with.
Everyone often fights at melee range.

so i can say its 60% done really and more is needed?

i wonder how hackable is it considering it is a new mmo unlike aika.i personally do not like the running and i heard from people its high pc spec req so not everyone will be able to play.

and from what u posting i get the feeling its a normal mmo and still lacking in more enjoyability

a friend even told me there is no open pvp

PvP outside of event battles come in 2 forms: Duel challenge and Open PKing mode
The former works while the latter is currently set for lvl 20+. The reward/penalty system is not ready yet.

The game is about 60-70% done, but many features are locked by administrators. I suspect there might be another round of CB. As for specs, this is the minimum requirement:

CPU : P4, 2.4k
RAM : 1 GB
VGA : (NVIDIA) Geforce 6600
with
128Mb / (ATI) Radeon x1300 with 128Mb
HDD : free hard drive space
5GB
DirectX : DirectX 9.0c or higher.

cool thanks for cleaning it up.this could be one of the mmo we can consider playing while waiting for ffxiv or b&s.although i prefer to go for project 9 first to test.

I suggest u stay in Aika. I'm just CB testing it. It is to my opinion similar to Aika's restrictive play, save for having crafting, gambling and slightly demanding graphics.

Also guild creation is only possible at lvl 25 - and only if u make it to the 3rd map, Dragonskale. Worst, basic management features such as member promotions and guild bank storage are locked until the guild attains a certain level.

If u want to try it, just pm me for CB account id and password here... assuming u already have its client installed.
