There are so many RPG games here and there, and most of the threads are talking about those big games like WOW, LOTRO, EverQuest or Ultima Online, that I don’t know if I would be excused after your reading my post, anyway, I’m going to talk what I’m thinking.

It’s called Shadow of Legend, a 2D fantasy darkness world, with 2.5D version scheduled to release at the middle of Oct. according to what was said by officials. It has unique character advancement & skill progression, with sixteen classes branched off four archetypes of classes-combatant, archer, mage, and monk, each of which is given a unique role, unique abilities, and a chance to perfect with diversified combat skills through a progression, along with race specific inborn skills.

And I like best its PVP system. There is Open PVP, Arena, and Guild Castle Siege in conjunction with an honor system and a criminal system provide unparalleled intensity of SOL PVP experience. Each time when I killed someone or powerful Boss or NPC, I really can’t stop laughing, it’s so cool.

in fact, let me say something about it after playing for months. and I want to be fair, so here we go:
