Review:

The graphics of the game are absolutely stunning for a free game. The effects of skills are unique in there own way. For me I am an Elementalist. Of course I'm a mage type in every game I play. Because everyone knows mages have the coolest looking skills :). My favorite would probably be the Thorny Vine Spell. It is an AOE ( Area of Effect ) spell that roots thorny vines from the ground and wraps around your enemy. It's also a DPS (damage per second ) spell. It causes damage as they are wrapped. So you can ensure an either safe escape or an inevitable win.

Many people have there own type of play style. For me it's getting the first hit. With the skills I have I'm always sure to win ><. All though I have been ambushed a few times. But I do enjoy the suprise. It makes it a blast to play.


Another unique thing I like about the game is the Durability of equipment. They only lose durability if you die. And for lower levels it does not cost much at all. Speaking of cost. The rate at which you get Heim ( The in game currency ) is outstanding. It makes the game a whole lot easier to get use to. But I'm sure as you go along things will get harder. And A challenge is something to always look forward to. You can't be the best at everything but you can always try your best.


1. What do you want to see for S.U.N. in the near future?
In the near future I would like to be able to fly. With wings and more. Have mounts to improve travel time. And unique pets. And with the pets. Nobody I have seen uses this type of system. But I'd like the pets to grow. And I mean Actual size of pets in what they should be.. not some tiny little thing. The requirment for a pet should be any level. And like if you had a dragon pet. if it got big enough you should be able to ride it.
And the choice between male or female characters please.

2. Every good point you see in S.U.N.

My Q/A Guide to help out Beginners!

Q: After creating my character what am I supposed to do?

A: Well first thing you need to do is look for the NPC with the scroll above his/her head. Now. As a first time player you will only see one of these and each on leads to the next. If you look on your mini map located at the top right corner of your screen you will see where you need to go next. There will be an arrow pointing at the location.


Q: How do I equip Items?

A: Well it's all really common sense on that one :P. You can either right click the item or you can left click and drag and drop. I prefer the Right Click seeing as it's instant.


Q: Why can't I wear this equipment?

A: Well, You many not have the proper requirments. There are 4 different types of Armor. Each set is basically a set build. Which helps you build a strong and sturdy character. Depending on your style of play would depend on what you build. For me it is INT ( Intellegence ) and Ether ( Damage Type ). There is also the Circle which is the Healing type. Make sure you pay attention to the requirment for each set of armor. And be sure to not put to much into 1 thing. Try to even it out as you level. For the beginning it's quite simple to level and all the quests lead to the next.

Q: Ok, I finished the Tutorial. What do I do now?

A: First things first. Look for the quest marker on your mini-map. From there you begin your "Actual" journey into the world where you will meet lots of friends and people just like you!

Q: I have a Quest to kill Cerberus. But I can not find him anywhere. Where is he?

A: Cerberus is located in Zapir Lake. At a low level he is not possible to solo. Be sure to find a party of at least 5-6 people (10 is the max a party can hold ) before entering the portal. Be sure to look for when your leader says ready so that way you don't get left behind. I believe it's about 20 seconds or so before you can no longer enter with the party you were going with. So try to keep up.

Notes: When creating a build be sure not to rush into if this is your first time. Look for an experience high level player the same class as you and ask them about there build and how they came to be as good as they are. As far as I have seen. Everyone is willing to lend a helping hand. And if you see me in game I'll be glad to help if I'm not to busy! :)

My in-game name : joah (berseker)

This game is easy to understand because it's not like a big world where you can go everywhere, you starts in a small city with new players and do some quests. As you forward into the game, you follow players with same level, because it's like a road to follow, for me it looks like final fantasy, but you can still use teleport to transport to farther points. Another point is when you get to an instance it's easy to get into a party or make one because people wait in front of it, and you can be up to 10 players in a party.

It's fun to play a game where you don't need an healer and classes aren't the same as most of mmo.


What I want improved :

I want to see more armors pieces, to have more choices like random armor pieces as well as weapons, because people looks a bit the same. It's easy to get to lv40, the cost to repair is low, i think there should be a server with a "difficult" level where you can have more chalenge.


Why I played :

The graphics bring me to this game first, it's the best feature of this game. It's nice to see that instances aren't hard to do. Some quests for leveling up were very interesting ( because it's beautiful), killing bosses is easy with people all over the world doing the same quests as you.


Good points :

- I love the combat system, skills are nice and interesting, you can improve your character as you want it to be, there are 2 choices : or you improve your skills or your stats. Each class have 2 different skill class, like a berseker can be "berseker" or "defender" or you can mix which is not the best idea because you have limited points you can use.
- An armor set can also be chosen in 4 different possibilities which goes with your combat style.
- Graphics are really nice and the lag is almost absent.
- Besides quests you can complete an "area" by gathering a lot of stuff from instances.
- Another cool thing is that you can start a personal shop ( only in cities), then your character sit down, and others can come to buy your stuff.
- Crafting is not complicated.
- Resurection item add fun to the game, when you use this item all dead people in the party revive, you get only some of them into the game.
- The Battlezone(NPC) is interesting, you can start an instance that you did and play it with other people, but i must say people aren't using it a lot.


I didn't try the pvp because it changes your name color so i bet you have penalties ?!:)


That's it for now, have fun ! :)

Ingame Name: Thorim

The Game overall is Excellent, Because theres great gameplay, Great graphics, Leveling a Character is simple. The good thing about sun online is The Quest Help, Which is little arrows or markers on the map that show you where you should be doing your quest.
The Gameplay is fairly straight forward, You have two different type of Skill profiency each allowing you to use different skills depending on your Profiency of Choice which is a very nice system. The classes are great for people with different style of playing, Example Berserker can either Tank or Attack Depending on what the Player Choosen as the Skill proficency.

Combat is fairly easily but somtimes you can get ganged Which can be a real pain if your a Mage or a character with low hp and cant survive a beating. The Skills look great some that amaze me and ive been Gaming for 9 years xD.

The story Unfolds at the start of the game when you do a few quests and it starts getting interesting, Quests take you all over the place even in the Dungeons. Dungeons are Rather fun its a nice way to lvl and get Heim (Game Currency). Leveling overall can be fun but it depends on what type of Gamer you are.

1. What do you want to see for S.U.N. in the near future?
I Would like to see more Armor and weapons. id would also like to see more classes like a Rogue/Assasin class. Also id like to see a Mentor/Apprentice system as i havent seen it in game or i just missed it, When i say Mentor/Appretince i mean you get rewards when ur Mentor/Appretince is online like more exp,More heim drop rate or Better item drop Rate and when ur in the same party with ur Mentor/Appretince you get all 3 of the benefits at once. oh i would really like to see a Combo system where u can link Normal Attack with skills in a Combo Icon which when u click pulls off the skills inside the icon in one go. a Exp time a day like u get 2x exp for 1 hour or 2 hours once a day.

Now i will explain abit about Skill proficeny as ive only explained what it does. So As i said its helps you Use different skills but what i forgot to mention it also allows you to wear Different Armor some Armor Will require one prof instead of the other one to use, So dont go Button happy and add it to something that will be useless to your Style of playing. I will start Calling Skill prof Builds so when you see build you know what im talking about. So having the correct Build can make lvling a whole lot easier as some builds have stronger skills then others not just that the builds also add stats such ass Str, Agi and so on. If you get a Great Build you comfortable with you may keep it into your High lvls. So Remember this Right Build = Easy lvling and Smoother Gameplay. Also in order to up the build you use Bonus points which you get from lvling these Bonus points can be either Added Directly to your stats or on you ur Skill prof.

All Good points you see

-Nice Graphics
-Great Quest System
-Straight Forward Game play
-Beginner Friendly
-Skill profiency System
-Nice Storyline
-Great looking skills (probally be in Graphics but hey Skills do like pretty amazin)
-Battle Zone system < This is very Good i like how you can make Dungeon/Instance/Rooms and fight with friends.
-Pvp is extremely fun

When i First Started:

Well I was pretty amazed by the graphics at first, When i got into game and started playing i started to like it more due to the game being very Beginner friendly, The controls are easy too which made it a bonus. Lvling was simple and quiet easy. i started to enjoy the game after about 5 Quests.

Well Thats all i can Squeeze in, Have a Nice time on SUN and if you need help and im online Look for my Character, I will try and help you.

Hi, I am writing a review for ijji's SUN online. My ingame character name is Zelda.

About me
As I said before my ingame character name is Zelda, this is my only character right now. I have come to play SUN online from another one of Ijji's games: Gunz the Duel. I have played during the closed beta and I had a level 28 at the end of it.

Info
SUN stands for Soul of the Ultimate Nation, it is a game developed by Webzen and hosted by Ijji. It has been online in a Korean version since 2007 and this is the English version of this game. This game is currently in the open beta phase of development.

Starting Out
Interface

The interface is spacious and not a hassle to use. I have labeled every part of this for your convinience

Starting out

You Start out similar as many other games have you start out: a level one character that only has two weapons for your class. You then have to quest through the town of Esod and eventually you get your first kill after a series of noncombat quests. After every quest you get a new piece of armor that you can equip to increase your defence rating. After you are done with the quests of Esod you take a teleport to a new place where you can further practice your combat skills and eventually face a leader spawn. I do not want to include any more spoilers so I will end here.
I like the startout situation of this game, you do a couple of easy quests at the start to lead up to your first kill. I think that this game is antigrinding and the start of this game tells you this.



There are currently two cities on SUN right now, these are Waldchen and Tringel. They offer class based equipment stores, crafting and enchanting stores, private shops, city based quests, storage space, and outlets to areas.

Easy Leveling
I enjoy the fact that the person who plays the longest is not always the best in this game. The leveling is at a reasonable pace and I havent had to grind once while playing. I have heard many others that also love this leveling system due to the fact you level with the storyline.

Graphics

I like the graphics a lot for this game, especially that this is free to play. They are not cartoonish like other games and they are pretty detailed for what I have played.

Spells

I especially like the spell graphics due to the fact the spells actually look powerful. Some games the most powerful moves look like nothing, but you can see a progression into more powerful spells through these graphics. The spell system is also easy to use and you can easily cast spells through a hotkey system that Webzen has programmed into the game. The spells in this game are often the base of combat in this game, especially for elementalists.

I am going to start this later again, there is a server maitenance right now.
adding more pics later

Soul of the Ultimate Nation: Review

Brief Overview:
Set in a 3-D medieval fantasy time period, Soul of the Ultimate Nation has introduced a new set of features designed to appeal to both casual and hardcore players. Developed by Webzen, Soul of the Ultimate Nation comes with extensive lists of quests, that users can step up to the challenge and team up or solo the challenges that awaits, rage war on users to duel 1 on 1 in a PVP system to reveal there divine power, customize and enchant weapons and armors giving them ultimate strength, and in doing so, becoming a legend.

Do you have what it takes to defend the world of S.U.N.?Step up to the challenge and become the Ultimate soul!

Review of the Game:
Where to even begin! ijji has done it again, yet this time, I believe this is their greatest work yet. For a free online game, ijji has created a breathtaking game with unbelievable graphics. From the skies to the smallest detail on your armor, the texture and graphic is just too realistic. I'm in love with it haha. It gives off the feeling as though it was "real" sort of speak. Honestly, this is the best looking game I have ever played, hands down. Now moving on to the battle system. The setup/creativity has yet again impressed me. The vast distinction between classes and skills to uniqueness and style, this game gives a very well setup. not to mention, the game is very easy to catch on in. There is no complicated setup. You learn the simple basics from the beginning and move on to more and exciting adventures. I love how each class has their own set of skills and style that differs from each one. Not only does it look good but it shows the game has great creativity that we can see there more to come. Also, what's great about this game are the "looks" each class type has. I like how each set of armor and weapons has their own unique style to show a representation of what you are. I'd also have to say, this game almost gives te atmophere of the Playstation 2 Game Final Fantasy X - XIII. I mean that in a godo way, haha! It gives off that Medieval world look but has enhanced technology as well. Another thing on what I like about the game is the types of classes. You can choose from Valkyries, Elemntalist's, Berserker's, and Dragon Knights. In my opinion, I like Valkyries and Berserker's the most because of the armor, skills, and weapon style. But hey, that's just me.
I really can only say, this is the best game out of all the other
