"You''re wrong about drug use, when its not abuse ..."

Holic Online is a MMORPG created by Netgame, the people of Netgames already created some succesfull MMORPGs like Scions Of Fate, Hero Online & Ares. 

Holic Online is currently in its OB phase, the OB began on 17 february.  Before the OB there was an CB. All characters of the CB where sweeped away, so you wont find extremly high levels yet. The graphical style of the game reminds me of Ragnarok Online, but with the slight difference that Holic Online is 3D. This means the characters got huge eyes, oversized weapons and monsters look really cute.

In Holic Online you're able to choose from 2 races. The Human race called Seneke and the Squirrel-meets-Human race called Koshare.  In the beginning you can create a character and you can choose of 5 classes: Monk, Priest, Warrior, Rogue & Mage. When you turn into lvl 10 you're able to choose your second proffesion. With a push on a button you can choose between your 2 proffesions, this ability gives a whole new dimension to your gameplay. By exemple you can you the buffs of your secondairy character to make your primairy character even stronger

In Holic online you can have some pets. There are 2 different sorts of creatures: the pet that fights on your side and the mount that you can use to transport you pretty fast. I don't really know alot about these pets, I've only saw 3 different sorts of fighting pets and 4 sorts of mount.  2 of those mount pets you had to buy in their cash shop. That's right this game got a cash shop. You can buy alot of great things in there, but not really things that will help you lvl faster in the game, so don't worry if you don't like to pay for your MMORPG

Another cool function of Holic Online are the UserCreatedQuests and the UserCreatedDungeons. With this option players can create their own quests and dungeon, this is, I think, never shown in a MMORPG before, although these functions are still not what they should be.

Conclusion: If you like a mangastyled game and don't mind alot of grinding then this is the game for you. If you join me on Holic Online add me: phatpete!

The movies was good. Don't bother with people who do not see potential in other games. To be honest I played almost every payable game. Their is a few. Like Lord of the Rings online. Each game that I played and payed for never was any more good. Yes they had some differences, a bit of different in each one. Though paying for a game doesn't exactly make it a better game. Yeah you fund the game more better, even so their isn't games like some free games. So in my opinion and many others, Paying or not. It doesn't change the game, given your game style. I play this game, and I like it. :)

I started playing Holic yesterday and I will be uninstalling it today.

First off, registering to play was an ordeal. When you do the typical sign up you have to wait an hour for them to send the confirmation e-mail. Also, the confirmation code is like 30 characters long and has to be input by hand(no copy and paste).

Second, you have to go to their website, log in their and then you can start the game.

This game has some horrible Engrish. But not just Engrish, glitches in the text.

The one unique aspect to the ganeplay is only mildly interesting. At level 10 you unlock "Class Revolving", which allows to instantly change your class. Unfortunately, the benefits to this is minor at best. Because the cooldown for the Class Revolving is 1 minute the only thing you can do is apply all your buffs from secondary class(almost all self buffs last 20 minutes) then switch back to your main class.

There's also some syst
