Well, I didn't really like Knight online- there was too much random crap floating around, the city was overbloated, and, well, I just didn't like the characters. And so a year later I downloaded Shaiya- I saw a link for it in our banner ads- and man, I love this game.

It's simple and clean, just two forces, Light and Darkness. Simple, uncomplicated. I prefer it that way sometimes- it seems like MMO's today are just puting new terms to old ideas and multiplying them. Why make something more complicated than it has to be, right
Next, there's various borderlands you can travel to- large maps with small towns and a large open field, filled with monsters, your fellow alliance members, and, of course, opponents. The cool thing is that these battles will raise a global "Goddess Blessing" bar for your whole alliance. When it peaks, everyone in the alliance gets more experience, damage, damage resistance, etc. in all battles anywhere- including all the starting countries and so forth.
Thirdly, it's not nearly as cartoony as WoW. Don't get me wrong, I can respect it as a different style of game, but I *prefer* this style. It's just preference, really. Not much fact in this line.
Fourth, it's free- and as far as I know, you can obtain just about anything the long and hard way that you can by purchasing- either by doing very difficult quests or trading.
Also, in addition to being a huge MMO (filled with countless quests- most of them just go and kill, but that's how most MMO's are, anyway), you can choose to play it in several difficulties, with certain skills and items only being attainable in certain difficulties. Also, you have a global "warehouse", which acts as a stash for your entire account, so that although you can't continue playing an Easy character on Normal, you can transfer all your hard-earned items.
And of course you can get mounts, make guilds, use various communication functions, etc.
*Whenever I said MMO, I meant MMORPG, but I assume most of you were thinking on that same line.
Anyway, in all honesty, WoW is obviously better, I played it a few months on various occasions from those freebies you get in SCII battle chests and Diablo II battle chests and I like the particle effects and such more, among other aspects, but really, this is FREE and it's nearly as good in my book. It definitely has WoW's soundtrack stomped, though, I think.
shaiya was pretty lame i think. i used to play KOL, i think i might redownload it.
Shaiya was kinda dumb, not much to do but uber grind. Never saw any PvP and never heard anyone talk about it. I tried to talk to people but they wouldnt reply.
I really like the game.
The grafics aren't so good but i liked the easy gameplay and the caracteristic of the game has good hints about monsters and its locations.
And there is only a thing i dont like the bugs and dificulty to find items for mage and warrior at begin levels.But i give 4 stars.
By the way,I believe that many guys will be tired of getting gold by killing monsters, and me too although I love this game very much. So I have to look for some good sites to buy gold. Luckily, I have found one------gkplayer dot com which I think is not a scaming site at least. their service and price are reasonale too.I trust it and I am often buy gold from the site. I think maybe you guys can have a try. It does no bad, I think.Currently they have a 5% free point promotion.
After you have tried, you may agree with me.

Again, just my opinion
