After long time waiting, I started my adventure on anticipated game AOC several day ago.
I should say it's a nightmare that to dowload nearly 2G patches online. It's quite annoying when you see the speed 4-10 KB/S ... I wonder why didn't they make a manual patch to download?
Anyway I finished updating at last, and enter the world with excited heart. After type in my account and password, I need to create a new character. Yup u can customize many things as hair, eyes, chest, height... I can't count them all lol and I have no interest to waste time on customization. So I choose a Aquilonian Barbarian and click "play" immediately!
WOW! I should say I was shocked by the graphic first. Of course u should have a good comptuer spec to set graphic to "High" quality. Unlike the cartoon style in WOW, the AOC's graphic is reallife style. So u can enjoy beautiful scene here.
Then I pick my first quest, free Casilda by finding key on some mobs. So the first combat in AOC Gold start! I simply click 1, 2, 3 on my keyboard to attack monsters, and they are killed rapidly. I feel myself full of power lol, well it's just level 1 monster, should I be so proud? Casilda was free after I use key to open her chains. And I promised to escort her to the city of Tortage.
It's another story that I enter city of Tortage. So I just stop describing all my adventure in this Blog and wanna take a short review about this game.
Graphic(9/10):
The graphic looks awesome if u have a good computer spec. Other than that, you'll feel laggy.
Sound(8/10):
Yes, it's amazing that every quest NPC has its speech in game. Different NPCs, different tones, if u r not good at oral english, you can even learn a lot from this game. And sounds of attack or use combos and magics are not bad too. But I don't have any impression on music in the game.
Gameplay(9/10):
Quests: A great deal of quests I could say. My quest list keep over 15 quests when I levelled from 5 to 15. You can pick many new quests when u level up. It's said AOC Gold is lack of quest after level 55, I don't know now because I didn't reach the level. But I think it's easy to add quests in future.
