Hero Online News - Launch Day Preview

Posted by Dana Massey on Jul 31, 2006 | 4 comments in our forums

Hero Online is live today. You can find out if its worth spending your time and money on in this Launch Day Preview by our own Carolyn Koh.

Hero Online is a Korean Free to Play game that has been ported over for the US market. Typical of many of its lineage, the client is free and there are no monthly fees to play. Although what you pay for differs between games, each developer’s business model is essentially the same – you pay for what you get. Additional inventory space, special weapons and suits of armor perhaps, additional classes or characters, additional mounts, skills… the list is endless… but we don’t know yet, what will be available.

A game like Hero Online can hardly be compared to paid models such as EverQuestII or World of WarCraft but must be compared to others of the same genre, or judged on its own merit. Gamers entering this game seeking a world, content and game play similar to EverQuestII or World of WarCraft will only have themselves to blame if they are disappointed.

Sounds interesting, just wish that more companies would follow Blizzards lead and make Mac clients. Of course, I realize that it's easier to program to DirectX. Ah well.
