This blog is about my character's life in the free to play MMO Achaea.

I play a Serpent in Achaea which is like a rogue class. You can use a dagger and a whip to stab and garrote people, you get a pet snake which bites with different venoms, you can blend in with the shadows and become completely invisible and you can snipe people with your bow. It's really fun to sneak around during raids and snipe people, then run back to your group.

I decided to record some big group PvP raiding, theres a lot of action happening on the screen but I managed to get a kill.

City destruction is pretty cool too, if you have a large enough group you can invade an enemy city and summon elemental fireballs of destruction to rain down and destroy the environment. Shops become unusable and the other team has to repair their city, and your team gets some experience.

Another thing I love about the Serpent class is the thieving skills, where you can rob other players who aren't paying attention. It's extremely difficult to rob someone who is at their keyboard, but catch someone AFK and you can get away with their backpack and gold.
