It's OB now, just in case you didn't know.

I'm only level 10 on a cleric, but so far, I'm really enjoying it. The graphics aren't bad. The female characters are ultra cute, and the male characters, except the warrior, look kinda girly. They could have picked better types of mobs, or more varied mobs, but that's common, I suppose, especially at lower levels. The game play itself isn't that bad. The grinding isn't even as awful as most games. lots of quests, which help.

I don't like the lack of character customization, or that certain classes are male only and some female only - hate when games do that. Aside from that, it's alright. nothing amazing, but sure isn't bad at all so far.

AIKA is doing market research to figure out more information about its players.  So deceptively evil, disguising a survey as a game!

 Games great, it has good graphics and great PvP could be a good MMO to play on the side till FFXIV and SW:TOR are released ;)

It's mediocre at best. I actually got level 12, which is far longer than I can stand most F2P games.

Well in CBT the Pran was asking some pretty strange questions as well.  Mine asked me where I would go for a vacation and other strange things.

What Nation are you?  And I have my cousin playing it also.  He's getting upset that his schoolwork is getting in the way of his playing time.

I believe the questions are supposed to influence the personality your Pran takes on. Of course, they could be used for other more dubious purposes, but I don't know how useful or accurate they could consider that data for market research.

I dunno.  Game looks pretty perverted.  You level up your daughter by being "intimate" with her?

Here are some of the voiceovers the different daughters say:(taken from http://aika-forum.gpotato.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=983&sid=3e350c5af56c32102e1b7fad084e9637)

"Let me get my hands on that!"
"Master, I thought you had more stamina?"
"Should I lie down next to you?"
"Nice moves!"
"You really get rough with it!"
"AMAZING"
"I love the way it melts in my mouth!"
"Tell me if I've got anything on my lips."
"MMM so tasty"
"I really needed to wrap my lips around this"
"Come here and check me out"
"I look too good"
"Take good care of me master"
"Don't you wish your Guildmates were hot like me?"
"Im craving something"
"I want to eat something big and tasty"
"Im definetly growing up, can you tell?"
"I want to show you just how strong I am"
"What do you think of my new curves master?"
"HMMM, what else are you good at?"
"Oh, I thought it was going to be harder than that"
"Im not in the mood"
"Are you gonna keep me close with you today master?"
"Lets see how fast we can move"
"You fill me up with so much warmth"

Don't get me wrong, I find those pretty funny and am not easily offended, so don't really have a problem with it.  It does seem like it'll attract pedos though.  I can only imagine the kinky outfits they'll have on the cash shop to dress up your daughter.

Lmao, haha, crazy stuff.

Tried it, didn't really like it, think I'll stick away from Asian theme MMOs...

To each their own , the game is pretty nice overall...

Taken out of context that is really bad but in context it makes sense and isn't nearly as dirty.   Besides, only one Pran personality type says those lines out of the 6 total.

Also, they are not your daughter at all.  They are fairies that are put through school so they can be your "daughter" later on.  They are pretty much just a partner.

You don't level up Pran by being intimate.  Raising their affection level affects if they will buff you or not.  You raise affection by talking to them and not starving them.  To level up Pran, you have to grind monsters (quests will not level your Pran).  Dungeon parties are a great way to do this.

 

Hope this clarifies some things.

That somehow makes it sound dirtier.

I m playing it few days only and first day I almost uninstaled it , but now I can say its a good  game I was in my first dungeon and not to mention the shitty drop rate and potion consuming I was very very suprised with the intensive gameplay. I dont like asian style but this game is not realy that way its good try it out...

I'll have to say, imo this is one of the better f2p games out there so far. So far im lvl 16 and i never make it pass lvl 5 in alot of these f2p games. So thats saying a lot right there. If they don't bonk up the C/S i plan on sticking with the game until SWTOR launches or maybe even longer. So to sum it up i say it's worth a try.

Its only 450mb so it doesn't take long to download. IMO it's a bit ok-ish compared to other F2P mmo out there. so far i'm not hooked so to speak.

Quick tip:

If you download it using Pando Media Booster, make sure to uninstall Pando when you are done.  Otherwise it will keep seeding to other players and eat up your bandwidth.

yep and graphic quality is between wow and guild wars that being a 1000 vs 1000 player pvp game makes this an awsome mmo!

1. 1000 vs 1000 is overated b/c 99% of the time ppl will just sit at the teleporter. 

2.  Castle siege only happen to those in the biggest guilds and only once a week for like 10 mins, nothing like Daoc.

3.  U cant rvr when there isnt many ppl to rvr with.  Its open beta and 2 of out 5 nations have no one wants to play.  They cant even fill up 1 server for open beta.

1. Not true, otherwise relics wouldn't change hands as often as they do. During a raid the only time a defending nation will sit at the rift is after they've pushed back the invading nation to it.

2. Five guilds can create a guild alliance, so not every guild participating in CS will be a large one. And any Level 2 guild can sign up if they want to and have the entry fee. Your ten minutes comment is also dead wrong, as most of the Sieges in CB2 lasted a half hour or more (Lenaria's lasted the full hour because no one could take it). The only one that from what I heard went quickly was the one in Vanov, as there was less competition and SGX had a lot more high-level players, allowing them to steamroll to the center.

3. Alethius, Feonir, and Lenaria are full of people, especially the first two. Vanov had a considerably lower population in CB2, which was hampered afterwards by the Feonir/Vanov alliance and a bunch of Vanov players jumping ship to Feonir. Ostyrion on the other hand has a horrible reputation, so most folks steer clear of that nation.
