Mac.andPC.com Top 3 Online Games of All Time! Ragnarok Online, RYL, Guild Wars

Thursday, 15 March 2007

I’d like to do some reviews on online games that is play-worthy and most importantly – FREE! There’s plenty of free massive multiplayer online games out in the market but it’s kind of sad that many of these games are just plain crap – sorry to say.

I used to search the Internet and mmorpg.com to look for free and good games. Usually I’ll give these games a try and sometimes I’m just not impressed with the online game. Don’t get me wrong – I was a game addict and still am and although it’s a crappy game, I still can get hook to it for a few weeks.

Mentioned earlier, I’ve played many online games. Some of these games are

1. Ragnarok Online – http://ro.gameflier.com.my

It is paid service now but you can find many free private servers. Owned by Gravity, distributed by Gameflier and originated from South Korea, this game was one of the biggest hit in the online gaming industry. Initially they had an international server but branched out to regional countries around Asia – Malaysia, India, Philippines, Indonesia and many more. They even have servers in Europe, China, Brazil, Russia, etc.

RO was the reason I got hooked into online games. It was so fun and addicted and not to mention it was also free when initially launched. I played it full time for 6 months and enjoyed every moment of it. Met plentiful of friends and even had a few girlfriends.

Pros –
1. Addictive
2. Good controls
3. Vast range of characters and skills
4. Constant improvement of the game playability
5. Able to meet and interact with people all around the world

Cons –
1. Some older generation gamers criticize this game being too ‘childish’
2. Botters have taken over the game – huge farming activities

2. RYL (Risk Your Life) – http://www.ryl.com.my

When Ragnarok Online started charging, I began looking for another free online game – at least still in beta so that I don’t have to pay. The next big hit was RYL or Risk Your Life. This game has almost everything that you ever want in a 3D online game. Spotting a 3D game engine and of course ‘interactive’ controls which gives you real-time environment, it’s one of the best and well designed games out in the market.

From the time they launched till they started charging, I’ve never regretted playing this game. Furthermore they have enhanced gamer’s experience by launching RYL 2. Not sure how successful was the launch, but I’ve played it for a brief moment and it looks good.

Pros –
1. Beautiful 3D environment without needing a high specs machine to play it
2. Good server response time
3. Real-time gameplay and attack system
4. Interesting weapon choices and upgrade options

Cons –
1. Not many choices of skills and character classes
2. No customizable accessories (girls love this)

3. Guild Wars – http://www.guildwars.com

I should have entered Lineage 2 as the third preferred online games of all time but after thinking for a while, Lineage 2 has some cons that I didn’t like.

My elder brother bought 2 sets of Guild Wars – this is one of the rarest moments where I actually bought ‘original’ software. Each of the codes or license grants you unlimited play online.

What I love about this game is of course the graphics and you don’t need a high spec machine to play this game.

Pros –
1. Low machine specs requirements to run good 3D graphics
2. Can play with your friends and form groups to accomplish missions
3. Can customize your weapon of choice and vast range of skills
4. You’ll just need to purchase the software once and unlimited online play

Cons –
1. Leveling up is kind of slow and tedious
2. You’ll need to travel long distances to fulfill your missions

Of course there are plenty of other online games out in the market but I chose these 3 as my favorite. Happy gaming!

PS – If you are wondering what machine I was using, here are the specs:
