The Romans - A high level of social and technological development, Romans are masters at constructing buildings. Also, the Romans troops are very balanced in attacking and defending.

The Gauls are born riders and their horses are famous for their speed. This means that their riders can hit the enemy exactly where they can cause the most damage and swiftly take care of them.

Helbreath



Helbreath is a game that has been out for about 5 years now. I have been playing this game since beta and I must say for a free game this has great graphics and game play as well.

The story behind the game isn't the most pleasant of tales, though it started out innocently enough. Two ruler gods of the world of Helbreath, Eldinel and Aresien, established a kinship with humanity. They came down from their elevated plane to join the humans in an event called, the "Descent of the Gods." For many years, the world of Helbreath knew peace. However, as evitably happens with gods, an argument of epic proportions ensued between Eldinel and Aresien. Dubbed the "Prime Event," the quarrel between these ruler gods spiraled the world of Helbreath into chaos of unimaginable proportions. Only one place in all of Helbreath, known as Equilibrium was saved from destructive force of this feud. Shunned by the Divine Power, nature turned against its human inhabitants creating desolation where there was once fertility. The humans reacted to all of this by renewing their devotion to the gods. However, the devotion was split between the god, Eldinel, whose whorshippers were known as the Elvine, and the god, Aresien, whose devotees were known as the Aresden. All the while, further chaos ensued and gave birth to the return of Abaddon, the absolute evil in the land. Taking advantage of the weakened state of humanity, Abaddon unleashed his minions in full force against them. Beginning as a lowly traveler, the player must journey through the world engaging Abaddon's scourge, among other manners of denizens, striving to rid the world of the ancient evil. Furthermore, the player has the opportunity to join on the side of either the Elvine or the Aresden and experience the player versus player element of the game called Total War.

Graphically, Helbreath International has its ups and downs. The detailed rendering of the terrain backgrounds is quite impressive and it is evident that great care was taken in the creation of these areas. Each area has its own unique feel, whether it be the peaceful starting countryside, the underwater city of Druncnia, the dungeon known only as Maze, and the fiery realm of Abaddon. I also found that a great deal of the more prominent monsters in the game showed a high level of style. The artwork behind the demon Abaddon, for example, was quite well done. Where I felt some improvement could be made was with the avatar and spell effect graphics, which were very reminiscent of the early Ultima Online MMO. Being used to more elaborate artwork for avatars and spell effects in some of the other leading MMOs, it almost felt like Helbreath was a throwback instead of a pioneer in this regard.

PvP is also a major regard in Helbreath. As far as safe zone goes, the only real safe zones are stores or your "farm" area. Opposite towns can be raided during the week for only a few min. On the weekend when Total War breaks out, towns can be raided until the event is over. All other zones in the game are PvP and you can be attacked anywhere. Sometimes annoying when you zone into a place only to be killed moments later, its equally funny to do it to others. :P

All in all, Helbreath is a fun game with hours of gameplay available. http://www.helbreathusa.com is the main website for Helbreath. However since the release of the USA version, switch from the International version it has gone pay to play. But there are also tons of free private servers which offer equal or even greater gameplay. A list of the top 100 can be found here.

Luna


Luna Online is a free-to-play Fantasy MMORPG created by Korean developer company EYA Interactive that emphasizes user communities. Among the game's unique social features are the Match Making System, which helps players find the perfect match to play with, and the Family System, which lets players join up and operate a farm together. Other characteristics include flexible character development with over 40 jobs, graphic quality, cute character designs, and fast paced action. The game is considered to be a lot like Ragnarok Online 2 in most of its game play elements.


There are three kinds of class Trees in Luna Online, Fighter, Rogue, and Mage. Fighters deal in heavy melee weapons and are focused on physical power and defence. Rogues deal in light physical weapons, focused on speed, and ranged capabilities. Mages deal in magic and magical weapons, focusing on magical attacks and support.
Luna online also offers plenty of opportunity to subclass since a character can choose, for example, a defensive or support class early on and then switch to a more offensive class at the next job change. When they change jobs they also retain skills from their previous class. This allows players to create hybrids that mix skills from different job paths. Although you only have access to jobs within whichever class of the 3 (fighter, rogue or mage) you originally chose.


Match Making System
A player is asked to fill out a profile of their own personality, which is used by the game to find suitable matches in other players (indicated by a 'heart marker' icon). This is used for various features such as Date Instancing.

Date Instancing
Once paired up by the Match Making System, the two players are given the chance to go to special areas without the presence of other players. These areas are used for hunting and questing, or just simply to spend time together, just the two of them.

Family System
Families are a collection of five characters who have a good relationship with each other. Each family member is given a title which is used as their rank in the family, such as 'father' and 'mother'. Families are able to do a variety of things together as the family improves, such as build vehicles and other items, as well as buying a farm.

Improving Relations
'Matches' and 'Family' who come to each other's aid in battle will have their relationship with that person increased. This improves the effects of the Match or Family, as well as personal improvements.

Flyff


Flyff (Fly for Fun) is a free MMORPG with good graphics where characters have the ability to fly around on items such as brooms and boards.

For being a free RPG this game has good, colorful graphics.

Flyff has an anime style to it, which seems to appeal to a large amount of female gamers which helps with the community. Flyff has been out for awhile, so it is not the top of the line PC game, but as a free game it does amazingly well. One of the only problems with flyff's graphics is that you dont have much control over them. Large Scale PVP, Guild Wars, or Large AoEing will slow down some people.

Another fun thing about this game is that they try and stay with the seasons as well as the holiday themes. The GMs in the game also love to do events which makes the community even stronger. The community is one of the single most reasons why so many people enjoy Flyff so much. You can find all sorts of people in the community which make the game even more interesting.

Overall, Flyff is a community based game that thrives off of the relationships the players build with each other, be it a friendship or a rival. But it has a very addictive feel to it and is easy to fall right into with a very user friendly learning curve. Click Here to check it out!
