Dream of Mirror Online (DOMO) from Softstar is a free to play MMORPG based on Ancient Chinese Mythology.

"The visual style is a combination of the Chinese design theme and cute, anime-style graphics, and the game places great emphasis on teamwork, socializing, and building relationships between players."

It is currently in it's second month of Open Beta in NA.

For any of those who are interested you can register and download the game on Aeria Games, the NA distributer of the game: http://www.aeriagames.com/

is garbage and for weaboos only

It's actually not that bad.  I really like the cute little anime style.  And their customer service is actually pretty good.  Just make sure you go for Aeria Games and not Gametribe (English publisher in Europe). Gametribe blocked NA IPs.

Good game.  One of cleanest f2p game I've seen.  Already 2 months into OB and I've NOT encountered a single gold farming bot anywhere (aeria's NA version).  Reasons?? 

1) Mobs don't drop gold, only materials.  Easily farmable materials require trading with other players or converted into items via alchemy for more in-game gold.  Npc's pay very little for those raw mats.

2) Cash shop items are cheap and fully tradeable in game: cut down the need of players to rely on 3rd party gold sellers for in-game gold.  They can just buy cash shop items and trade for in-game gold with other players who don't plan to spend real money.

3) Higher level dungeons are difficult to solo and require a balanced team of players to get most out of grinding/farming.  To solo it needs skills from multiple classes, a real hassle for potential botters.  Not to mention all weapons & armors have durabilities which drop fast and require constant changing. 

So the result?  A real bad game for would-be gold farmers/sellers, but a great & clean game for regular players like me.  In-game economy has been very stable so far without infusion of game gold from farming bots.  My only grip with it is the slow updating and bug-fixing by its dev.  But overall it's a fair & nice game.

this is a cute little game, better for  ages under 17

the graphics are good and the servers aren't very laggy. i enjoyed it. over all a 8/10 ^^

I've been playing this a while too. So far I have ONE complaint (which is amazing, since I would be rich if I could get paid for complaining). AoEers. Anyone trying to solo, as well as some groups, will AoE an entire massive area worth of low level mobs. Kill stealing is rife here too. I think this could be remedied by simply increasing both the xp required per level and the xp of higher level mobs, such that fighting one high level mob is worth more than AoEing 20 low level mobs.

But as others have mentioned, other than that the game is actually very well balanced, even between the item mall haves and have-nots. The economy is very healthy, and all of the classes are well done, especially for an asian import.

well to tell the truth, if theres an aoe, that means most of the people in the spot is in his/hers party. and usually, you should get out of the aoe persons way if they were there before you. if tyou were there first, tell them KINDLY to move. AND THIS GAME ROCKS! IT NEEDS MORE THAN A 6.7! IT MATCHES FLYFF AND EVEN SURPASSES IT. THIS GAME AT LEAST DESERVES A 7.5!

i agree whole heartedly. This game deserves more than 6.8. i tried games which are like 7.0 and above, eg. martial heroes, fiesta but all of em suck... especially martial heroes.. that game is.... erm... just sucky i tell ya. dont ever ever ever download that game! if domo is 6.8, then those should be 6 and below.. seriously!!!!

~June - officialy quitted domo. DAMN when is cabal sea releasin?~

I love the GM/GS run in-game events that occurs weekly (usually at the weekends). No other commercial mmo nowadays give that "personal touch" to their games (usually most events only occur during official holidays). Events can be anything from simple "play hide and seek and recieve a prize" or more elaborate ones such as city being attacked by boss monsters. Usually if there's an event you can expect to recieve some sort of prize if you participate. Prizes can be anything from simple items to rare "one of a kind" items sometimes costumes for your char or rare consumables or pets.

My only complaint about this game is many times Aeria Games takes on a hard sell approach to keep people buying stuff from their item mall.. but I think they can hardly be blamed since they have a bottom line to keep in operating a F2P games. Marketing theory research study indicates that soft selling is more effective in making people buy things and less likely to irritate customers than hard selling.

I've played Holic, Feista and Tales of Pirates.. and all I can say is; If you like this kind of games then DoM is the greatest of them all!

Ok..  first of all... I said "this kind of games"... they are pretty simular in there grafics and style! And Im refering to f2p-games in general.

I have played LOTRO.. and FFXI, Guild Wars and EVE... If I should compare DOMO to p2p-games I would still give this game a high score.

This game as very good grafics for a cartoony-looking game, if you remove the black outerlines in options.

Great missions, crafting and lvling-system :) Maybe You should try this game out before you start critizing it
