Wind Slayer Review -- 05-07-2008
KeyWord: Review,Wind Slayer,maple story,2D, Sidescrolling, Anime Date: 05-07-2008
Summary: Wind Slayer is a free MMORPG (with premium content available) which just recently started it's closed beta. Players familiar with Maple Story will feel right at home in the 2D, side-perspective environment.The game itself is very enjoyable to begin with, but quickly makes some terrible mistakes. Where to begin?

The problem is that as I write this the Arena suffers such horrible lag that playing in the Arena is almost impossible. All commands respond a little over a second after you've pushed the key which forces you to guess what you'll need to be doing ahead of time, input the command and start praying.

Secondly, the grind. The levelling system is identical to some other MMORPG's. You start as a trainee, with no special skills or abilities and slowly make your way up to level 10 where you can choose one of six classes: Warrior, Assassin/Rogue, Mage, Archer, Priest or Monk. Sadly getting to level 10 takes ages and without any special skills other than Weak Attack and Strong Attack (and you'll only ever use Strong Attack) becomes incredibly boring and repetitive.
Of course, once you get to level 10 you have to pass a tedious quest to change to your desired class.I myself chose to become a mage.

Becoming a mage requires you to collect a total of 36 different items (before you get any of your special skills >.<) one of which is a token that requires a large amount of Vicky to buy. This forces you to participate in the unbearable Arena for quite some time just to get the amount of Vicky needed to get this one item for your class quest. Obtaining Vicky points is confusing as it seems to be almost random; Sometimes a win would get you 4 points and a loss could score you 18 points.
100 points is what you'll need (plus gold) and even then, it's only one item you need for the quest.
