Dofus

"Great game, quick and easy to play"

Well, I've played quite a few MMORPG's now, including Kalonline, Maple Story... well a lot anyway. Dofus is certainly one of the best that I've played. There are 12 classes to choose from (new one: a drunken panda oO) so there should be one for everyone, but my advice is: Iop is best. =) There's also quite a few players, so that you can almost always find someone nice to party with, but there are not so many that the game lags. I've seen lagging on may other MMORPG's and it really spoils it. The game runs smoothly at all times.

Graphics: 6/10: They are, I'm afraid, quite bad. The sprites are tiny, meaning that it's not always easy to distinguish yourself. But never mind, the classes all look distinct and the colours are customisable so if you don't stick with the default you'll be ok. At least the small graphics make for a stress-free, if uninvolving experience.

Sound: / : Umm. I've not listened to it. =) Too busy with my own music =P. But it can be turned off, which is good for me.

Gameplay: 10/10 If you've played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or Onimusha Tactics you'll be right at home here. Select where you want your character, in battle, click ready and you're off. Battles are turn-based, on agility, and grid system movement. Spells look good (especially Feca's ;-) ) and stats and spells are customisable fully. I recommend if you're new that you take Ganymede's tutorial: it's tedious, but it helps.

Interaction with other players: 8/10: This is good. You can trade with other players, but you can also give items to them free, you can have PvP battles and you can set up Merchant mode to sell. The game, however, won't allow this unless you are selling something pertinant. This is to reduce the number of AFK'ers, and it works. Unfortunately, there is a downside. In battle against enemies, before clicking ready, others can join in. This is good if you will need help, or are in a group with someone, but exp is shared out. This means that others can come and nick the exp of your easy kill. Also, either purposfully or accidentally, players can attack each other. This can happen when a character is in the way of a spell, or nasty people can come and kill you. Some join battles simply to PK. How I hate these people.

Overall: 9/10 (not an average): My favourite MMORPG to date. If you read this, and choose to play Dofus, as I hope ya do, feel free to add Aesirus (me =D) to your friends and come and chat or talk. Hope to see you there!
