Reviews A Masterpiece Rises.
Why only a 9 of ten? Because this gmae has only just left beta and it has not reached its peak. To be perfect it would stop. This game is under constant work by its singular owner alias Decius. This game is although only just leaving beta is more complex and complete than most browser based games available. The game starts out free four a time of two weeks like most pay games but the cost is only 15$ for permanant account if you use it, although unused accoutns will eventaully get deleted.
This game features a unique system of play in that the player has tens of skills to choose from, crafting such as carpentry, tailoring or cooking, gathering skills like foraging, mining or husbandry, or fighting skills like fists, acid magic or axes. With crafting and fighting character types readily available or even balanced characters that do everything within grasp the possibilities are limitless.
Beyond its skill system Lands of Hope imploys a evolution system for both proffesion and race. At level 50 players choose between three tiers branching off their origional choice of five base proffessions that each have unique skills and statistical advantages making the five character slots easily fillable. Then of course one can choose a branch of races at level 200, there are five options available here and four races on all but one of them (which has two), on these tiers you can choose to stop evolving at any point, or choose to stay human throughout the entire game! This same rule applies to stopping at any one of the proffesions. There are no penalties for stopping at any time.
Besides gameplay this game has a very tightly knit community, constant tech support, helpers in chat, faq and help pages, and an idea submission form inside the game!
All-in-all this game is a must play for anyone, this game is not -for- MMORPG fans, it -makes- them.
