Dont stop feeling, just start thinking.

Might be a good game, but I'm a little confused by one line...

 

"In the dungeon of Angkor Wat, for example, they must face evil Buddhist priests or Dracula in Bran Castle in Romania."

 

Evil Buddhist priests? Erm...doesn't that kinda go against  their religion to be evil and fighting people or anything for that matter?

 

Maybe catholic priests, seeing as that religion is actually associated and participatory in wars, but Buddhism? Did someone just open a book of oxymorons and pick the first thing they found that wasn't all ready in a game?

Rant aside, hope it's a decent game and doesn't turn out to be more generic crap with a new label.

Eh...it works...

MMOs I remember: AC, AA, DAoC, EQ, EQ2, L, L2, PS, LOtrO, DDO, Planetside, BE WW2, WoW, Ryzom, SWG, TR, CoX, HL, DR, PT, Exteel, Guild Wars, AO, Archlord, Dreamlords, Atlantica, Entropia, EVE, FF XI, Maple Story, Ogre Island, Planeshift, Rappelz, RFO, Runescape, MXO, SotNW, SL, Vanguard, UO, WAR, PotBS.

Mmos I subscribe to: none currently

I need a better game...

Don't forget that "Dracula" is a trademark protected IP. But then, we're talking Korea here. Second in line to China for copyright infringement as a national passtime.

Don't have sigs with a cheerleaders butt swinging in it, or the prudes in the Age of Conan forum section of mmorpg.com will demand the mods have it removed.

Uh, your view of Buddhist priests is not particularly accurate.  Some are quite versed in martial arts and such, and one founded the Shaolin martial arts which is so famous in fiction. But rival temples regularly beat the crud out of each other to this day.

 

And Dracula has been in the public domain for quite some time.

And Bran Castle is owned by Romania and is a tourist trap. I doubt they asked Romanias permission?
