4Storys, new MMORPG: First Impressions

June 4th, 2009 | by admin |

4Story is still on a pre OB fase, is like a CB but anyone can enter, so far there have been two pre OB, the first one was from july 10 till july 20, and the second was from august 6th to august 12th, and i was in both, and all i have to say is that i love this game, i was looking a game like this since i first play a MMORPG, because the RvsR system (realm vs realm) and the guild funtion where u get certain benefits when a menber join the guild but if a menber left the guild u get bad effects, for example:

-Guild level upgrade conditions:

Guild Level upgrade = Guild level will increase depending on the number of the members of the Guild and 4 story gold the Guild experience points gained by the Guild members.
Even if the member who donated their exp. points and 4 story gold funds withdraws from the Guild, he/she will not retrieve donated exp. points and the funds.
Guild level downgrade = Number of the members in the Guild is too small to meet the condition to be upgraded.
Level will decrease if the memebers withdraw from the 4story gold Guild.
Guild Storage can be used from Level 3 and using storage does not cost any money.
Number of storage will increase as the Guild level upgrades.
Only the Guild Master and 1st and 2nd Assistant Guild Master can use it.
Only the Guild Master can post Guild Announcements.
-Nobelity Award:

Once the Guild level reaches certain level, the Guild master is given with Nobility.
The Guild master who receives a nobility higher than Baronage can award any members with the nobility lower than their own and also can cancel the nobility.
- Nobility is awarded to the Guild Master when the Guild reaches Level 3
- Nobility grades from Baronage, Viscount, Count, Marquis and Duke. Duke is the highest
grade.
- Highest Nobility is only given to the Guild master(Only the Guild master can receive Duke
nobility.)
- If the member with nobility withdraws from the Guild, the Guild is left with 4 story gold an extra nobility
that can be given out to other members.
- If you are delegated authority of Guild master, you also receive the Master’s Nobility and
yours will be returned.

-Number of nobelity award depending on the guild levelLevel 1 / 2 : Nobility does not exist.
Level 3 / 4 : The Guild Master becomes Baronage where the Master can not award any other members with nobility.
Level 5 : The Guild Master becomes Viscount where the Master is allowed to appoint 2 members as Baronage.
Level 6 : The Guild Master’s nobility stays the same but the Master is allowed to appoint 3 members as Baronage.
Level 7 : The Guild Master becomes Count where the Master is allowed to appoint 2 members as Viscount and 4 Story Gold as Baronage.
Level 8 : The Guild Master’s nobility stays the same but the Master is allowed to appoint 3 members as Viscount and 5 members as Baronage.
Level 9 : The Guild Master becomes Marquis where the Master is allowed to appoint 2 members as Count, 4 story gold as Viscount and 6 members as Baronage.
Level 10 : The Guild Master becomes Duke where the Master is allowed to appoint 1 member as Marquis and Count, 5 members as Viscount and 7 members as Baronage.

but beside that good guild system theres something better and is the RvsR system whish is massive and really good, where u have good benefits when ur guild capture a territory or a castle, territory wars are all the days and the castle wars are every week, but now maybe u think, well a guild of 20 players vs 20 4 story gold players isnt so good, well this game add a mercenary system where u can recruit other players, not for the 4story gold guild, but just a mercenary for the territory war or the castle war, like any mercenary this player will get a pay for their job, this expand the wars to a new massive state, now why this we are not going to have 3 guild of the same faction fighting for 1 territory, beside they are going to join forces to conquer the territory or castle before the other faction, now maybe u think, well its going to be a crazy fight why all the players running around and making what they want, i have to say no because the developers thing on that and they add the R.S.C.S system (Real time strategic command system) where just why a few clicks in the minimap you can give orders and commands to the different teams, like a RTS.
ok about the graphics, well i have hear players that say that this 4story gold game is similar to WOW, i dont agree why that ppl who compare any game why WOW, besides this games have good graphics, and good musics so is my number 1 game, because the territory war everyday is enough for me.

this game is a quest based game so u will 4 story gold to keep doing repeatables quest, isnt so bad because that add a some party play to the game, because u can finish those quest a lot more faster in a party, the max lvl is 60 so dont surprise if the lvl up is a bit slower, maybe they are going to increase the max level in a future, remenber that this game is on beta.

i would say that this game is 8.5 start out of 10.

presentation: 8.0
gameplay: 9.0
graphics: 7.5
replayabilitie: 8.5

this rating is based on my personal expereince and in the fact that this game is on beta and still they are working on improve it.
ok the 2nd pre OB ended and theres going to be 3rd pre OB this monday from september 1st - 7th september. starting at 11:00PM pst till 11:00PM pst.
