I was messing around on wikipedia and found 9Dragons. It looks like a fun game, since I like the asian theme and all.

Has anyone played it? I know it probably won't compare to GW in many aspects, but I'm just looking for something else to play for a little while. And Lost Odyssey is ridiculous, so I thought I might try this.

Any constructive feedback is appreciated.

I have played 9Dragons, actually it's still installed on my laptop.

Overall it's not a bad game, the typical Korean grind is there but not near as bad as other games (Maplestory comes to mind). It is free with a cash shop but the entire game is ad supported. This means that you are bombarded by ads everywhere...stop to meditate and your minimap turns into an ad, ads pop up at the top of the screen every so often (sometimes obscuring important info), and loading screens have ads. After a short time you learn to ignore them so those aren't too bad.

The main complaint I have about 9Dragons is that it relies on GameGuard as a hacking prevention system. Anyone familiar with that piece of garbage knows what trouble it can cause.

Final Thought: The only way to really see if the game is right for you is to try it, so just figure out if you want to try it or not.

after reading the article, I didn't see anything special about it. seems kinda average to me. then again, it didnt go into much detail.

I haven't played it since beta. I got my main up into the mid to high fourties and quit because the grind was too rough at the time and I wasn't earning enough money to keep my things repaired. They might have fixed that by now, but I dunno.
