Where Have I Been? Floating On Cloud Nine!



I've been spending some Time on Cloud Nine, a fun little game hosted by Games Net. The graphics are a bit to cartoony for my taste but I'm sure there are people out there who enjoy the cookie, anime-like, little less than Warcraft style graphics.

Anyone who can stick with this game up to level 10 gets rewarded with not only a (rather funny looking) mount, but also a "sub-class," not only do you get "sub-class skills" to work with your current ones, but thanks to a fun ability known as Skill Revolver, you can 'tag out' your primary profession at almost any time. This game also allows for a completely different set of clothes and weapons for your other profession, most people would think this just translates to "great more money I have to spend" but one of the cool parts of this game is that everything seems to be relatively cheep.

The monsters are all completely original which I'm sure you can tell from this picture -->
unfortunately the quests...not so much, most of them are your average "hunt" quests with a few dungeons thrown in to keep things fresh.

PVP works like World of Warcraft, two nations battling it out whenever they find eachother, or in designated "Battle Grounds." Although I like the free roaming idea, I don't really enjoy being sniped off by a hunter while I'm farming creatures.
The last thing I should probably mention is that Cloud Nine has a unique, and some what complicated way of starting (more so if you use Firefox) Internet Explorer is recommended for this game if your not very techno-savy.
Cloud Nine gets a 4 out of 10 again, not really my thing, but there are plenty of players in game so I'm sure people will enjoy it.
