Dragon Eternity - browser game

I played this game online for a while until reached some level (9 at this point). Haven't finished as is a long therm commitment :).


The game plays as a MMORPG in the hack&slash quest style where basically the background story doesn't count too much. But it is reflected in the many community based quests you get.
You're set in a fantasy world (Adan) where the Sadar Empire and Vaalor Empire are fighting for supremacy and will start by choosing one of 2 factions: Sadarians (Red) or Vaalorians (Blue). I played Sadarian the pick being based purely on the fact that I like red color :). The things in the story are complicated by the armies of the Dark Gods of Shaab that break into Adan from the mysterious Abyss and are enemies of both factions.


There 3 classes to choose from Bersek, Paladin or Witcher. Each class has specific items (weapons, armors, jewelry, necklasses and amulets). Potions, artifacts, glyphs and some other stuff are not class dependent. The items are earned from battles, or bought. The Shop will always show the items available to you depending of your level.


The leveling goes by earning XP like in any RPG to which will add various Reputations like Gladiator (fighting in the Arena) or Conqueror of Seven Bridges, and will also get Valor by participating to battles.
You can easy access your character stats, gear, and backpack content from a very easy handling interface


Later you'll have the option to create or join to a clan. Clans are formed by the online players, being available after you reached level 6. Also after reaching level 16 and passing the Elder Dragon trials (collecting 6 parts of the Amulet of Melding) you may have a dragon, and summon it into battle.
For the rest as said the game plays mainly by fulfilling various quests mostly requiring fighting a bunch of enemies: monsters, living dead, traitors, spies and others. Also there various quests of finding and researching.
You can also learn and use spells in battle


and various professions - hunter, farmer, fisherman and prospector that will help gathering items for crafting: blacksmith (armors & weapons), alchemist (potions) inscriptor (glyphs), cook (food) and jeweler (orbs). If you wonder what they serve for keep in mind that all these items are used to boost yourself a very useful thing.
The combat goes in turn-base style where you can choose to weapon attack, defend or use magic. Boosting by using potions doesn't count as an action being performed at anytime in battle and some items like orbs have auto option being functional for a certain number of actions.
Additional features are:
- PvP option with 5 Battlegrounds: Arena of Honor and Seven Bridges being available for players of any level the other 3 only for level 16+.
- Auction - for buying and selling items
- Bank - for buying reals, and items for real money.
There a lot of things going on will not go into all details it's up to you to discover them.
Technically the game goes very well in therms of graphics, sounds and handling and it's a very appealing scenery with a catchy going through. I started with the thought of just testing and ended by being caught in playing.
Worth trying, a good recommended experience for the fans but only if you're ready to spend some real money. And seriously if not you will struggle to get well in the game.
