Prologue
Today I'll talk about a game whose style is well known to most of us as gamers – the MMORPG style. This style has gotten a lot of popularity in the last few years and it is possible to find many games of its type, part of them is FTP – Free To Play, and part is PTP which means – Pay To Play.

And the game I'll talk about today is called – Conquer Online.

System requirements
The game is totally free and you can download it from the official website, fan site etc. . . . The game's installation file is downloadable as a compressed file (RAR) and its size is about 300 MB. The game itself after the installation takes about 2GB. System requirements aren't heavy and so I was able to play it even on my Pentium 3.

Obviously you better have a strong computer if you really want to make the best of the game:

Pentium 4 2.6GHZ

1 Giga RAM

GeForce 5200 or higher

And of course fast connection to the internet as possible.

All of these will get you the best gaming pleasure.

The story
Ancient china, 1000 years ago. When evil decided taking over the world in one sunny morning. Then came up all kinds of brave heroes (the players), to fight the evil and so it goes on etc…

In a matter of fact, normally in this type of games there isn't a great story line, and frankly it is also not needed. People log in, level up and upgrade their characters. the real action is in the PVP battles –Player Versus Player. Therefore there isn't a big use in a story line, which can only dampen the flow of the game.

 
About the game
The graphics are reminding the old "Diablo" game, controlling the character is done using the mouse and a few shortcut buttons. The sound isn't much a glorious hit ?left me speechless?, but on the other side, from my own personal experience I can tell that when you put a background music to an online game, the game turns laggy and slow and the packet traffic is going so slow that it can literally kill you. That's why it's better off without too much sound unnecessary. Fortunately In Conquer, there is no background music, only the sound of actions.

The gameplay is quite easy as soon as you get used to the way things go in the game, and this is one of the greatest advantages of this game. the magical simplicity that keeps the player's motivation to play on after the first few minutes.

In the game you can choose among 4 classes – the warrior, who uses a weapon and a shield. the two weapons wielding Trojan. the fire Tao, which puts all his effort in lethal and devastating magic, and the water Tao that uses all his magic to heal and support others.

Each one has its unique look and abilities that give him both advantages and disadvantages. There are some really cool things in the game, such as the Rebirth – when a character made it to a certain level, it can get reborn, which will let her choose a new profession and a whole new set of powers and abilities. She will start from level 15 although, but the way up will be much easier than before. After the first rebirth there is even the second rebirth, the requirements are way harder to achieve but in return your character becomes much more powerful than a normal character or even from a first-reborn character.

There are 130 levels in the game, and many ways to gain them, all depends on the player's creativity. You could work your way up to the top all by yourself, you could do it with a team or you could just ask a strong characters to power level you.  They, in return, will gain Virtue Points, which can be traded for Experience points and ease their hard work. There is also another way to level up and it is called ExpBall, people will sell them for quite a lot of money, but it can be real helpful if the player doesn't feel like he has the time or nerves to work hard.

There are many more items and things that people should just go and check for themselves.

 
Summary
This combination of a simple gameplay, easy controls and intensive action, makes the game real fun. On the hand, if you are unable or don't want to put too much money on games, you are most likely going to have a lot of hard work to the top, which means it should take about two months of working on your character to get to a high level and with a good gear. You could of course check each one of the five classes and so to learn about her advantages and disadvantages, if you have a really strong computer you could even play in number of characters at the same time, which has proven itself quite handy in some cases.

So if you like RPGs, and especially those that remind the Diablo style, it is worthy to check this game out. It isn't a bad game after all, I've seen worst, as well as better, but I would definitely recommend this one to all the MMORPG fans out there
