Atlantica Online

I have been extremely impressed by Atlantica. The Graphics are amazing, better than most MMORPG’s that I have tried. There is no shortage of eye candy, including rich and vibrant colors and very details model rendering.

In Atlantica you control more than just a single player. You build up an entire team and control them at the same time. This allows you to add and remove characters as you figure out how you want to manage your team. Atlantica provides several great character classes including Swordsman, Exorcist, Monk, Shaman, Viking, Spartan, Gunner, Archer and many more. These classes change to more advanced classes as they level up.

The turn based fighting style is very enjoyable, and it brings back memories of when the “Final Fantasy” series was at its peek. Most battles seem to have about 5 or 6 monsters so far, but I have been attacked by 20+ monsters and my puny team of 6 had to run away. Hopefully I’ll get more players soon.

You’ll want to join a Guild when you start, giving you many benefits. Such as more storage space, advanced quests, and more items. When the Guild gets big enough you can even take control of a town. With enough money and members you can even control an entire nation!

The World of Atlantica is HUGE, allowing people to play endlessly with new challenges around every corner. Atlantica uses the entire map of the world as the game map, I’ve been playing for several days now and I have only explored the area around Japan and Hong Kong.

Your characters learn much more than simple fighting. You want to have a steady supply of healing potions on hand, but when you get low you don’t have to buy the potions because you can make them yourself. Your character can learn to make almost any item in the game including weapons, armor, food, medicine, catapults, fabric and more...

This is one of the few games that I can truly recommend to all of my friends. Finally a game has come along that can compete with World of Warcraft.

I’m looking forward to seeing what new adventures and features lie in store for the future of Atlantica.

While I agree with you that this is by far the best free 2 play game that ive seen, I do not believe the goal for the game should be to compete with World of Warcraft. Its a nice game that offers a different type of gameplay and therefor wont appeal to everyone, old final fantasy players might find this very enjoyable though.

Turn based combat???

Where is the good point on a turn based combat? is slow, and if you have to grind is a "great" (yes Im being sarcastic) Idea, or, if you have to kill lot of oponents, so... you cant move around and use the real time tactics like ktting? ... what is the point in this combat system for a mmorpg?

perhaps its different to appeal to different people. Not everyone likes chocolate ice cream, thats just the majority. And we know the majority is always right.
 

I agree with OP with many points, this is the best free to play mmorpg so far. The combat system is new and refreshing.

Enough with pros, since OP got most of them down, the cons I found so far is the amount of grinding this game have. You fight and fight get 10/10 furs kinda thing with slow battle system. Also the tranlation of the quests are weird.

Not a bad game for free to play and I suggest people to try it, but this game is not for everyone imho.

Viral marketing at its best 10/10 for presentation

But i do agree it is a bloody good game and very addictive been playing it pretty much non stop since the beta launch and yes it is turn based but it's been done in a way that makes it incredibly easy to do battle and allows for numerous tactics to employ.

This is the way Final Fantasy XI combat system should have been

good god how i hate to see "best game ever" threads on every damn game.  The people who post these threads get sick of the game a few weeks after the post and leave mis-information to poor ususpecting people.

all this forum needs now is a  "WoW alternative" and "WoW rip-off" threads and it will be complete.

that being said i WILL try this game when ob is released, but i remain skeptical and expect this game to suck balls just like the 40 other korean made f2p cash shop games. However i will stand corrected if this game turns out to be badass and not a complete mess, over run by gold farmers, bots, hackers, turks/brazillians/other rude mmo communities including the pre-teen american wow crowd(that i dont expect though).

didn't they already try this with SoTNW

I would not say it is the best game ever but I will say it is by far the best free to play MMOG I have tried. I would very much like to see another game come out like this one only with the Final Fantasy Tactics class system.
