Description and Comments
Magic World
Online is
a free MMORPG that bills itself as a
"New Concept MMORPG". The reason for
this proclamation is that MWO offers quite a few
features that are not in other MMOs like an
in-game bot system, video chat, weapons that grow
with players, and the ability to raise mounts.
Although video chat and the other features are
nice, the really innovative feature here is the
in-game bot system. Quite possibly the biggest
complaint with MMOs is that these type of games
always have too much grinding. Bots take care of
this problem by grinding for you when you are away
from your PC or just away from the game. This is
innovative because other games may have bots, but
they are considering cheating and against the
terms of service of the games. Having an official
bot system frees players from grinding and allows
them to focus on the more interesting aspects of
the game. Magic World Online is definitely a game
that should be tried by anybody looking for a fun
MMO that lacks grinding.

Comment:
It's been a while since I've played a game that
doesn't bore me after two weeks of point and
click. I know there are many gamers who feel the
same as I do. Magic World Online has been able to
keep my attention since the start of closed beta
II. The main reason for this is the legal bot
system that allows players to leave the grinding
to the game.
To keep my review fair, I'm going to address some
concerns I have encountered during my time
playing.
First off, though there are pop-up help windows
every few levels, the game is not very 'newbie
friendly'. Many players ask questions in Country
chat that should have or have been answered via
the pop-ups or other quests. The game would really
benefit if it advertised its many features to new
players, such as the auction house, guild wars,
state wars, video chat, etc..
Some people might also be turned off by the
botting system, seeing it as unfair. The botting
system turns what could be a grindfest into
casual, hands-free gaming. I leveled up to 25
manually, thinking I didn't have to use the bot,
but after that the leveling curve got steeper. I
left my bot on overnight and finally understood
the value of it.
The botting system is not perfect and is not
intended to be. As I get into the higher levels, I
find myself in need of party members, therefore I
must communicate with other players.
Another plus for this game is the community. While
there are a few bad apples in the bunch, most
players are very willing to help new players out.

Comment: Let me start off by saying this game is
great! The main attraction going for
this game would have to be the in-game bot system.
As long as you have the game opened and the bot
properly set up, you can be sure that your character
is gaining experience while you are keeping yourself occupied
with other things. You can even leave the game on
while sleeping and still level. However, the
botting system
by itself is not what make this
a fun and addictive game. For me, its also about loot
collection and in terms of loot this game more
than delivers.
Mobs can drop completely random stat-enhanced
weapons and armor which are color coded into blue
(uncommon), gold (rare), dark-gold (very rare) and
green (legend). You can also find special stones
that you can insert into weapons and armor with a
socket in it (yes, mobs can drop armor/weapons
with a socket too!). The higher level the stone
the better the stat of the stone is.
As well as that, the mobs drop different treasure
maps relative to your level and if u collect 3, u will
be given coordinates which you can follow to locate
the treasure and find stat enhanced weapons or armor. There are also different levels of pandora
boxes that can be found and when opened with a key
(purchased from grocery merchant). Besides the
chance of getting a stat enhanced weapon or armor,
you also have a chance of getting a set of magic
stones (the higher level the pandora box is, the
more magic stones you might get from it). If you
collect 50 of these, you can trade these off for a
legendary ring with HUGE stat boosts that really
help with training.
With such a great looting system, there is always
that tendency to check up on your bot just to see what
it picked up while you were away.
Personally, the botting system and the loot system
are enough to keep me interested in the game, but
the game offers some of the other more noteworthy
features such as growing weapon which you can get
from a level 20 quest and which can be really
customized as you level it up and upgrade it; video chatting; auction house;
MANY quests and random guild
quests which when accomplished, does not only give
you guild resources to donate and to improve your
guild but will also improve one of your base stats
permanently; class transfer that allows you to get
better skills when you reach certain level i.e at
level 15, 30, 50, 65 giving u incentive to
continue playing this game; and the navigation system
which allows you to navigate around the world simply
by clicking on the expanded map making it easier
to move from point A to point B or finding your way
to an NPC.
That's of course not to say that this game doesn't
have its downsides. For one, there is almost no
ambient sounds such as wind howling, birds
chirping and other such sounds that could add to
the atmosphere as well as having only one looping
music which quickly gets repetitive.
Since you can advertise your items in chat, the auction mall feels
pointless. It is much quicker to literally show your item thru
chat by holding shift and right clicking on an
item and pressing enter than to set up an item in
auction mall.
The graphics, even though 2D, are simply
great! Very sharp and VERY detailed. Some of the
best 2D graphics I have ever seen in any 2D MMO.
Unfortunately, the downside to the great graphics
is that the animation of you and the mobs moving and
battle animations are rather choppy. While that
put me off when i first started, I found the
game all too absorbing soon after and it became
easy to oversee the choppy character/mob
animations until I simply didn't care.
This is the first free MMO game I have seen in which the GM is actually
active and friendly! He either trains, or sits on
his pet in the town and helps to answer any
questions that people may have. Another thing is that the GM
can actually ban people from the game for poor behavior
(one person got banned for swearing in
country chat excessively). This definitely helps
with the already great community in the game.
I have tried quiet a number of MMO games before this
one including Last Chaos, Tales of Pirates, Dream
of Mirror and Perfect World but all those f2p
games were either too heavy on grinding, had a lack of
quests, had boring mob drops, and the usual scammer bot
problems and players illegally botting.
Hopefully it's easy to see how MWO solves all those
problems as well as adding some features never
before seen in other free mmo games out there.
Having said all this, I find it easy to see myself
playing this game for a long time to come.
