Perhaps you've heard of it? Probably Not, but I play it, and it's pretty damn good. In a summary, its a Web RPG that is similar to custom robo. The only differnece is that the battle system is turnbased, and obviously the quests, missions, lands, etc.


Anyway, the game begins on a starship heading towards Earth(lknown as Lore), and you are heading towards GEARS university, a college that teaches you how to use mechs(Giant Robots), deffend earth from the Alien Shadowscythes(Evil Giant Robots), and fight outside of your mech(LIGHTSABRELAWL!!1

The game has many quests already, and it has only been out for about two weeks. Every thursday, the game improves a large amount. The game is ongoing, like all of Artix Development games. I would say the game is satisfying already, yet it has only updated three times.

The game also has a comedic value to it. For example. There is an area in the game where you see a sign leading to white castle, yet the game developers purposally put a wall of traffic infront of you, making it unreachable, also adding that there is a new rare item shop at the white castle in the news section(assholes). Of course, that is just some of the comedy you will encounter(there's a pretty funny one in the room you start off in)

The game has two methods of fighting, mechs and light sabres. You will often find that you fight someone in a mech, defeat them, they eject and run, and you have to hunt them down with a lightsabre. The weapon selection makes for interesting, fun, and all around cool looking gameplay.

Although the graphics are 2d, they are good, and you can still walk around in 3d(it's difficult to explain).

There are free accounts, and there are Star Captain accounts. Star Captain Accounts offer some extra content, useful shops, and a ship that you dont have full access to yet. When new planets are open, you will be able to fly on a Star Captain's ship to other planets. If you dont want to pay for the account(or dont have the credits to buy fuel and a pilot), I will give you a ride. As soon as other planets are unlocked, co-op play will unlock as well, meaning everyone can hitch a ride with me if they wish. If you have the funds to be a SC, and you like the game alot, good. It's a great game and its good to support the creators. If you dont have the funds, its alright, your not missing anything you absolutley have to have.

In case you didn't know, the game is not an MMO and SCs dont have a monthly bill, it is a one time payment. Although there will be free co-op, its not Massively Multiplayre(I believe max is 10 in one game).


The game is amazing and in early development, so please give it a chance. You can definatley trust them with your money, I have in this game and another by the same company, The game is great all around, and desserves a look.

OHNOEZ It's by the makers of adventurequest. I hate those guys, because you always have to pay to get the good stuff. Sorta like runescape, except not 3d :P.

I'll probably get hooked, but once I get bored with having a free account, I'll stop forever :P.

You played AQ?

And no, you donnot have to pay for all the good stuf. This game is run by Warlic, an excecutive of Artix entertainment. Artix entertainment's big daddy is named Artix, but Warlic is much more, "forgiving", and makes most stuf free.

I played both AQ, and that other dragonfable or whatever it was called game.

It says "From the insane creators of AdventureQuest".

It also says "Become a star Captain. Upgrade now. Click here."

If it's from the makers of AQ, I have my doubts :P.

Artix supervises, Warlic creates. Artix requires the advertisements for star captain and everything.
