Eighteen years ago, the Omen began. A horrible solar eclipse occured over the skies of Asia where metoers crashed down leaving the earth in shambles. Madness swept over Asia and the rest of the World had to clean up the continent. Two years later from all of this unfortunate events, Sacred Financial Group came to power. The group was formed in four different schools: Sacred Gate, Mystic Peak, Phoenix, and Leonair School. Although these schools were not any ordinary schools. Rumors spread that these students were training in gruesome deadly forms of combat. They studied forbidden scrolls and text which in ancient times lead to genocidal roles.

Travia Online begins with a coupled god and goddess, Evanroke and Reunroke. They danced and danced and they stopped when they saw another god name Rahba. Rahba told stories about the outside world which was fascinating to them and one day Reunroke decided to see what's outside. He left Evanroke and Rahba made a move on her in which she innocently submitted to. Rahba got bored after countless intercourses and left her once he knew she was impregnated. Evanroke was left alone for many years and had 10 children, one of which is Reunroke's and the other nine are Rahba's children. The first child, Raa was very smart and knew about the whole situation. When the others were borned he tried to get revenge by swallowing the other children. He managed to swallow the second and third son Bi and Tri; however, the fourth child Quad manage to escape. As Raa chased Quad, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eight, and ninth children manage to run away as well and Raa simply gave up. He took Bi and Tri out of his mouth and forgave all nine of them only if they were to dance for him. And so from now on, they danced around Raa.

Eudemons Online is a 3D fantasy MMORPG which takes place in a Chinese mythical world. Control your hero and set forth on the vast land of Atlantis to challenge the power of sword and magic. What are eudemons you ask? To be honest, when I just heard of this game it was like a month ago and I thought it had to do with demon-like characters, something evil or against some religious values. After trying it out and actually seeing it in play, eudemons were actually cuddly and cute creatures. Eudemons are like in-game pets that help protect you and demolish your adversaries. As you level higher and higher your eudemon can evolve to a highler form.

For each player, you can raise 8 different kinds of eudemons. There are also spirit gems which can give the player some magic effects, strengthen your eudemon, and can also change your fighting formation. You can also forge your own weapons to see them in action! This MMORPG provides three different characters in both genders (female and male): Warrior, Mage, and Paladin. It has beautiful graphics considering EO was developed by the same company that made Conquer Online. Some game features include: Eudemons (Of course), gems, potency, forging, mentor system, four mission systems, PK, XP skill, legion & competition, arena & death island and many others. EO also provides Eudemon Codes which you can purchase for cash to buy special items in-game.

Hundreds of years ago Bogle wizards from Veros, the land of elves, innocently conjured a new healing potion which they tested on dragon flies. These dragon flies mutated and quickly spread the deadly disease to Ludianes, which is the land of Humans. Countless lives were taken and only a small amount of humans and elves survived and escaped to Fuan. Generations has passed and the few humans and elves that escaped have multiplied. Few has went back to Veros and Ludianes and discovered that the disease was gone. However, those who have fallen to the disease were mutated into zombies. As humans and elves go back to Veros and Ludianes, they will form tribes to fight against the dangers that are waiting for them at home...

The goal of this game is to chase out the monsters, zombies, and ghosts that has occupied Veros and Ludianes. Go on quests, level up, and join tribes to help fight these monsters out of your territory! There are five different classes to choose from: Blade Warrior, Fist Warrior, Red Mage, Blue Mage, and Archer. There are also sub classes availbel for red mages and blue mages. Raise your own pet to accompany you and gives you more HP, MP, inventory space, or attack damage. There are two types of attacks and two types of defense.

Yet another new 2D scroller MMORPG, but this one is fast paced action-based. Ghost Online has already been released in Korea and is now making its way over to America. There isn't much information on this game yet, but the website will be coming out soon. Until then, all I can say is that this game looks exciting and interesting. The graphics are cute, the characters are attractive, the background music is pleasing, the visual effects are amazing and the gameplay is intense!

Ghost Online only has a few character types to choose from although everyone starts off with being a Common class. From there, as you level you can choose from these three class types: Swordsman, Assasin, or Spirit type. The world map is large for a 2D scroller game, which makes it that much more fun. There are also pets available such as a wolf, a falcon, a panda, and other weird creatures like a one-eyed alien. Futhermore, there are awesome game features that you wouldn't normally find in other 2D scroller MMORPGs like: fishing, mining, soul orbs, and PVP. Soul orbs give you the ability to transform your soul. If you are a fan of 2D scroller MMORPGs, this is definitely a game to pursue.

Dofus was developed in France awhile ago and has made its way to other languages such as English, Dutch, and Spanish. The story of Dofus takes place in Amakna where adventurers are trying to find these six Dofus, eggs of dragon, which has fantastic powers. With the large population gathering around Amakna, three clans gradually formed. These three clans have one thing in common, to obtain the eggs of dragon for their own good. The first clan wants the eggs of dragon for peace, the second clans wants them to take control of Amakna, and the third clan which is known to be neutral wants them to juggle between rivalries. Only a Chosen One will be able to accomplish this task.

Dofus is certainly a unique tactical MMORPG that combines a heroic-fantasy world with interactive cartoon-like 2D design. Some of the amazing game highlights include: A vast fantastic world, PVP and PVM tactical combat, powerful social functions, and a sacred struggle between good and evil. Choose up to five characters among these different classes: holy warrior, terrible brigand, healing fairy, weather master, gold seeker, animal trainer, archer, man of the woods, devoted spirit, or protector. Try it out for free and if you like it, you can subscribe to be a full member for a small fee.

Carpe Diem is a dual action online RPG. There are two kingdoms in which three kinds of races: the Fey, Humans, and Dragonbloods who were once all against each other for centuries are now united to fight against the same cause. And that cause is the invasion of kingdoms lead by Uzziel The Evoker. How can one fight against the invasion? With the power of the four Weapons of Legend: the sword of dragonfire, the shield of stone, the bow of the wind, and the wand of deep; the two kingdoms can win the war against Uzziel's invasion! However, this can only happen if all four Weapons of Legend are united.

Depending on which race you choose, you have the choice of picking from many different classes. For instance, if you were Human you could be a Warrior or Knight. If you were a Fey you have the choice of being a Flamesprite or Healer. Lastly, if you were a Dragonblood you could be a Warrior, Assasin, or Sorcerer. The game has many cool features such as unscripted action, mounted combat, possession system, and the weapons of legend.
