Although the name may be misleading, Rappelz is one of the classic MMORPGs set in the fantasy world. The game itself was created some time ago, at the end of 2004, but not enough time has passed as the world didn’t forget about it. The game, through regular updates, still maintains a strong market position with a huge base of players from all over the world. If you are looking for traditional, classic MMORPG, it is likely to find something for everyone.
Time to start the adventure
After the registration process, download the client, its installation and updates – the most positive aspect is the additional account security in the form of a second password, after entering which we get access to our characters and items that they own. Even if someone else puts his or her hands on our account, we have the opportunity to access and save our precious characters and equipment from the theft. Never before have I came across a similar solution in other games, so it’s something worth remembering.
Rappelz was made at a time when this type of stories didn’t play a major role. Our character can be a representative one of three races (Asura, Deva and Gaia), and each can choose one of three archetypal classes - warrior, mage, and Summoner.
Every beginner goes to the original site called "Trainee's Island, " where you will be greeted with a long series of tutorial quests that will introduce us to the game. Fortunately, our mission is enough to learn everything properly, that we’ll need in later stages of the game. In addition, NPCs, which can be found on the island will also give us some important information. After reaching 10th level, choose the first class, and at the fifteenth leave the island and start our adventure.
Travel broadens the mind
The gameplay is definitely what makes us play in an MMO. Rappelz offers a classic solution. First of all, fighting and leveling is not something particularly effective or dynamic. The game is based on the slow grinding of our character. The only springboard here are quests , however, with time also those will become unprofitable for us. Statistics of our character will automatically increase with each successive level. Additional statistics come after reaching a level sufficient for promotion to the next subclass and modifiers of equipment, ie. "Stone Souls"
PvP is also a classic. We can fight in specially designed arenas, challenge someone to a duel, and, if you want to, kill whoever you meet. We must, of course, reckon that we meet the appropriate penalty. Nobody wants to be a victim of "hunting for the PK. "
Pets also can help us. Each of the initial classes of all races can summon and enslave more or less dangerous animals. These were divided into five levels depending on their rarity. Generally speaking - will assist us in our fight whether by magic or sharp fangs and claws. Of course, the best of our pets’ abilities are reserved only for Summoners. Additionally, you can ride a borrowed mount (Ornitho), which automatically unlocks the ability to ride on it.
To the dungeons
Guilds don’t own towns or forts in the game –instead, they introduced a system of Dungeon Siege, a guild can become an owner of its own dungeon and may charge a fee for people who want to go to the raid in their dungeon. In addition, they have free admission. To become an owner, you must do the so called "time attack raid” as soon as possible. Guild, who will perform the task in the quickest time gets the opportunity to fight with the current owner in the planned siege of the dungeon, which creates a huge battle between guilds. Apart from this, alliances between the guild and wars give the game more momentum.
Besides the dungeons, the game offers a standard, classical solutions, like in many other MMORPGs. The constant grinding and few quests can make the game simply too boring for many players. However, if you love pets or you’re looking for a game in which you would participate in wars between guilds, then this title is definitely for you.
