Hi, guys.
I decided to write a review because there seems to be a lot of negative comments on the game from people who tried the game for 5 minutes, got frustrated, and quit. Which, coincidentally, frustrates me.

TL;DR: If you can get past the clunky UI and a few bugs, the class sytem and community are amazing.

First things first, this game is one of my favorite games. I have played this game for multiple thousands of hours (before it came out on steam, before this server even existed), so understand that this is coming from someone who knows what they're talking about, but may also be a bit corrupted by my love for it. I will try to be objective, but it is one of my most-played and favorite games.

Pros:

1. Class System is great, will go into further detail later in the review
   
2. Community:The game is by nature very social, when hosted by Aeria was literally called a "Social MMO". Most people tend to be fairly helpful if asked.
   
3. Pet System: Pets are cute, and help in combat.
   
4. Graphics: Cel-shaded anime-styled graphics have aged well and look good in a stylized way, in my opinion.
   
5. Crafting: The crafting/upgrading system is fairly simple after you learn the basics.
   
6. Runs on most computers: This game came out in 2005, any computer from the past 5 years should run it easily

Cons

1. Clunky UI: The UI isn't great. Not even good. Hotkey'd skills are used from the function keys, menus are opened with ctrl+key shortcuts
   
2. Slightly Buggy: There are a few bugs in-game, some that should be fixed shortly, some that probably won't be.
   
3. Poor Translations: The in-game instructions and NPC dialogue can sometimes be pretty strange, because it was originally Chinese
   
4. RNG-loving Host: Suba, the company hosting the game seems to like to use chance boxes.

I would like to go in to a few points I mentioned earlier and expand on them, because bulleted points don't really cover the breadth of them.

Class System
This game comes with 14 classes, you do simple quests to receive the class "qualification", then you can talk to an NPC to change your class. You can have all classes on one character, and they all level individually. Classes have 3 sets of skills, two tend to be active skills the third is always passive skills. Along with these skill sets, classes come with 2 extra open active and passive slots, where you can drag and drop other classes' skills. Multiclass systems are fairly uncommon in general, and I've never found an MMO with a a class system quite this involved and unique.

Community
The easiest way to level for most of the game is in a 6-person team. Along with this, the highest level of content is only available to guild parties. By design, the game is very social, and there tends to be a very strong feeling of community. People will often help newbies, crafting them free armor/weapons or giving them pets.

Clunky UI/Buggy/Translation Issues
For all of these cons, there is a fairly simple explanation. This game was made in 2005, 10 years ago by a Chinese company. Look at the system requirements if you don't believe me. Does that excuse them? Not really, but it does give some context for them. In my experience, though, most people who put a little bit of time in can get past these issues.

If you managed to read this far, congratulations, you've finished my review.

TL;DR: If you can get past the clunky UI and a few bugs, the class sytem and community are amazing.

One of the first MMOs I played back in 2008, and it's still a favorite
-You get a flying mount at level 15
-Pets fight and level with you and earn their own abilities. When they're a high enough level you can evolve them, and most you can mount and ride. and they're so cuute
-You can switch to any class once you've unlocked it. There's your main class, and 2 sub classes; which means you can level your Blademaster with Doctor and Mercenary abilities subbed. Having a doctor sub class being able to heal and buff yourself while soloing or any situation was one of the many aspects I looked forward to come back to.
-Not Pay2Win
-TONS of outfits and accesories you can mix and match
The game mostly focuses on PVE, but there are arenas and a duel system
Leveling while soloing is pretty slow, but if you find a party for a dungeon you'll level like crazy
There is a flagging system where parties can find you, or you can find the person you need to fill your party. class and level is listed.
Alchemy is really addicting, you farm,fish, mine etc for the mats, or can buy them off other players stalls
This was my first review but I hope its of help. this game is really fun and there's lots to do other than quests

Quick guide with some tips and for some problems some seem to be having:

1.You can set WASD movement in options if you don't like clicking.

2.You can go full screen window mode at your screen resolution by going in image and selecting first option from the resolution list it should auto-adjust to whatever your screen resulotion is.

3.Getting out of the starter area takes only a few minutes, just read what npcs say or just speak to the eversun teleporter, I know it's a lost art but you can do it believe in you! (Also it seems people are saying Sprite race is bugged and unable to get out of spawn, however I was able to make a sprite character and get him out of spawn and into eversun no problem)

4.Game is slow and only picks up pace once you reach lvl 15 and get flying weapons. At level 10 you can get all jobs. I suggest picking up doctor first and level it a bit to gain healing skills to use with all your other jobs. For quick leveling to lvl 15 I suggest picking up dancer job as it's the earliest job that will grant you powerfull aoes for super fast early leveling (And maybe a pocket full of dirty cash) .

5.NEVER trust the pink line! It's a trap.


Played the game way back for years, it was awesome for the time.

From what I have seen, it hasn't changed much since suba has taken over.
This game is an old school mmo based on social interaction rather than just farming mobs and getting drops like 99 % of all mmos out there.



Pros:
-Cute and light hearted graphic style based on chinese mythology.
-Very versatile class system where you can get all class at the same and mix and match by choosing one main job and then choosing different skill paths to add to your play style from your other jobs. Each job levels independently point. Making it easy to join all kind of level ranges to play with your friends of different levels. Perfect game for anyone who hates gender locks, race locks, character locks or class locks.
- 2 main story quests filled with old gen hilarious and messy cutscenes.
-You can catch mostly all enemies pokemon style on top of the regular pet system with evolutions for egg based pets (Pets are totally OP in this game) They can also become mounts and flying mounts as well as used for super fast grinding for your lower level jobs.
-Game relies on a crafting system that is actually essential to the game and encourages exploration and social interaction. Pots with recipes are scattered around the game making it a challenge for low level characters to venture into much higher level areas to try and nab recipes. Durability and max durability is finite and will crumple down with time, making material gathering and alchemists indispensable for fast cheap weapons and armor especially in late game.
-The game relies a lot on quests and objectives that will make you activly seek out other players.
-EXP gain is based on damage done rather than enemies killed. (Which is a way better system in my opnion) So if you are about to be killed while the enemy is almost dead, you can run away without the frustrating feeling of having wasted your time.
-Seems like alot of server based events are still running.
-Female shura heavy armor bare bottoms.

Cons:
-Lack of options for grapchis/chat/fonts/etc.
-Stylized yet very dated graphics and poor drawing distance.
-Game is slow and grindy in most parts you will be spending hours just vaccuming up all enemies into a perpetual mob grinding machine called a "party", just chatting away, or doing whatever(pron? i don't know you but im pretty sure it's pron. Isn't it?).
-Lack of end game content.
-There is no super rare drops/weapons/armor or anything, this game is mostly about collecting recipes and materials.
-Some very outdated systems regarding items, item management and so on.
-Underwear quest is tedious.
-Pink lines.


I would recommend it for you just to check out the skill/class system, but I doubt this game will have any longetivity in the long run.

I played this game back in 2007. It's great to see it back. But that doesn't mean it's back without problems.

I'll get the cons out of the way because I know everyone's going to look for the worst first.

• What is lag? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more... - You can expect an inconsistent connection, every 30-60 minutes
  
• All by myyyseeeeelf - Small population, but I'm sure if enough people play it, it'll bounce back
  
• Man, I feel like a woman - Some NPCs are mislabelled, probably due to a translation error (King Collet has boobs... I uh... I guess if they want to have boobs and be a man, who am I to judge though?...), and you can expect plenty translation errors in general
  
• Which way did he go George, which way did he go - You might have use of WASD keys if you're lucky - if you're like me, you won't and will be clicking to move; in general, all the keys and controls are kind of messed up. You're stuck using your F-keys for skills, which sucks, but there's nothing you can really do about it. Don't make the mistake of hitting CTRL+M, because if you have my luck, it'll move your skills, close your mini map, open a large map, open the world map, and open your settings all at once...
  
• I meant what I said and I said what I meant... DOMO's chat is messed up 100%! Yeah. Uh. Shift changes the chat you're talking in, so you might get distracted while typing if you have to hit SHIFT and see it start to switch over to the global chat. Additionally, the word filter is a little overeager. (assess and grass are not profane, y u have a lazy filter, lrn2regexPLS!)
  
• Glitch in the Matrix - There's not much variation among characters of the same race. Unfortunately but true. There's some customization, but not nearly enough.

There you go, all the negatives. If you read that and went "ehh... nvm" then you're missing out on all the great stuff listed below.

• Size doesn't mean everything - Yeah, the playerbase is small, but everyone's amazingly friendly. I started playing it again today in the first time in years and some people stopped me to ask if I needed help with a quest. At level 8, the answer was yes. They added me as friends and went on their way after. Very common to get into light conversation too
  
• I... have... THE POWERRRR - to multiclass. Yes, you can multiclass. You don't have to pay real money to multiclass. You don't have to do some extreme ritual to multiclass. And the classes are all distinct and fun. And you can have a primary class with a secondary class
  
• Hi hoooooo - If you find the recipe, you can make pretty much every item you require in the game. Self Sufficiency +1
  
• Once upon a time... - ... a game was made with an actual plot and story line. That you can ignore to do questing if you really want to, but the story's there!
  
• I'm flying (flying, flying, flying!) - Level 15 you're able to get an item that lets you fly... and it costs you no real-world money
  
• I will name him George, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him... - There's also pets! Also don't cost real-world money, yay pet system!

This is just a partial list. I implore you to take the time to get off Newbie Island (there is a different Newbie Island for each race) and play for about 30 minutes after leaving there before judging the game. Overall, I rate this Social MMO a 7.8/10. And that's with all of those cons.

เกมนี้สนุกมากครับ ผมเคยเล่นเมื่อหลายปีก่อนที่เซิฟไทย
สิ่งที่ทำให้ผมชอบเกมนี้คือ
1. ระบบการสลับอาชีพไปมา หลายอาชีพ ใน 1 ตัวละครโดยในตอนแรกเราจะเป็นอาชีพคนทั่วไป พอตีมอนไปเรื่อยๆจนเลเวล 10
จะสามารถไปทำเควสตามแมพต่างๆ เพื่อปลดล็อคอาชีพที่ต้องการได้ อย่างเช่นผมไปทำเควสเปลี่ยนเป็นนักดาบ หลังจากนั้นก็เล่นไปซักพัก
จนนักดาบเลเวลซัก 17 ก็สามารถไปทำเควสเพื่อเปลี่ยนเป็นอาชีพอื่นๆเช่น โจร หมอ หรือ ทหารรับจ้าง และอีกมากมาย โดยเมื่อสลับไป เลเวลก็จะกลับไปเท่าที่เคยเล่นไว้ โดยเริ่มต้นจาก 10

2. ระบบการยืมสกิลข้ามสายอาชีพ โดยระบบนี้สามารถยืมสกิลจากอาชีพอื่นมาให้อีกอาชีพนึงได้ โดยมีข้อจำกัด คือ 2 หมวดหมู่สกิล
อย่างเช่น ผมเล่นนักดาบเลเวล 17 แล้วผมเคยไปเปลี่ยนเป็นหมอ แล้วเล่นหมอไว้เวล 11 เพื่อเอาสกิลฮีลเพิ่มเลือด พอผมเปลี่ยนเป็นนักดาบ
เลเวลก็จะกลับมา 17 แล้วก็สามารถฮีลได้เหมือนหมอ โดยที่สกิลฮีลของหมอจะไม่มีเงื่อนไขด้านการใช้อาวุธ (มือเปล่าก็ใช้สกิลฮีลได้) แต่โดยส่วนมากจะเปลืองมานาเยอะ แล้วก็ ฮีลได้ไม่แรงเท่าหมอ เพราะว่านักดาบไม่ได้อัพค่าพลังเวทย์ ( WIS ) ซึ่งแต่ละคนก็จะมีเทคนิคในการเล่นต่างๆไม่เหมือนกัน โดยเอาลักษณะเด่น จากอาชีพอื่นๆมาผสมลบข้อด้อยกับสายอาชีพตัวเองที่เล่น อย่างเช่น อาชีพทหารรับจ้างจุดเด่นคือสามารถใส่ชุดเกราะหนักได้ เมื่อเลเวล 35 จะสามารถอัพทักษะ การโอนย้ายชุดเกราะหนัก แล้วสามารถนำทักษะชุดเกราะหนักไปให้อาชีพอื่นๆยืมได้ อย่างเช่น นักดาบ หรือ โจร ที่มีพลังโจมตีสูงมาก แต่ตัวบาง เมื่อได้ทักษะสวมเกราะหนัก ก็ทำให้เก็บเลเวลขึ้นง่ายมากเลยทีเดียว แต่ก้นะ ยืมได้เพียงแค่ 2 slot สกิล กับ 1 slot passive skill โดยทักษะสวมชุดเกราะของทหารรับจ้างก็นับเป็น 1 passive skill ประมาณนั้น

3. ระบบบิน สามารถขี่อาวุธบินได้ โดยทำเควสตอนเลเวล 15 ทำให้สะดวกต่อการเดินทาง (ไม่ต้องเดิน)

4. ระบบสัตว์เลี้ยง คือมีสัตว์เลี้ยงน่ารักมากมาย โดยเวล 1-10 จะเป็นไข่ หลังจากนั้นก็วิวัฒนาการไปเรื่อยๆ ตอนเลเวล 40 และ 60 ก็ขี่ได้(ถ้าจำไม่ผิดนะ)

5. มีอาชีพเยอะมาก ตอนนี้จากเซิฟเทยที่จำได้มี 15 มั้ง ตอนนี้ไม่รู้เท่าไหร่ละ

6. โมเมนต์ที่ทุกคนต้องตี้กันแล้วลากมอนมาบึ้ม อย่างเอาเป็นเอาตายเพื่อเลเวลขึ้นเนี่ยแม่งสนุกสุดๆ ไม่เหมือนหลายๆเกมที่ สร้างตัวมาเดินตีๆ เวลขึ้นด้วยตัวคนเดียวแบบง่ายๆ กดเดินเควสแค่คลิกชื่อแล้วตัวละรครเดิน คือโมเมนต์มันจะต่างกันออกไป ความรู้สึกคือตอนเล่นเหมือนได้เล่นเกมอะครับไม่ได้เหมือนมานั่งดูเกมเล่นเกมให้ดูอะไรทำนองนั้น

7. สังคมในเกม ด้วยรูปแบบเกมที่ทำให้ต้องพึ่งพาคนอื่นจะไปได้เร็วกว่า (บางคนชอบโซโล่ แต่ลำบากนิดนึง แต่ใช่ว่าจะทำไม่ได้) เควสต่างๆบางเควสจำเป้นต้องใช้ผู้เล่นอื่นเพื่อผ่านเงื่อนไข มันสนุกตรงนี้แหละ คือ มันไม่ง่ายเลยที่จะเล่นเกมนี้โดยไม่เหลียวแหลคนอื่น 5555+

Одна из сложностей при написании обзора на Dream of Mirror Online – это через призму какого времени смотреть на неё. В Steam дата выхода варьируется на 2015, в гугле встречается 2008-2011, на Absolute Games – 2007, а на видео с YouTube вообще 2005.

Прежде всего стоит отметить дизайн и рисовку. Ну, уж чрезмерно прилизано-мультяшно выглядит Dream of Mirror Online, она больше походит на какой-нибудь мультик для девочек, нежели на MMO RPG. Даже не верится, что нам придётся здесь кого-то убивать. Сравнивая первоначальные скрины и нынешней картиной – развитие было, однако поддержки разрешения 16:9 нет, а в системных требованиях значится железо 2001-2003 года, хотя даже сейчас ещё не поздно ввести ещё какое-нибудь обновление. Про аудио оформление игры и сказать нечего. Также под стать старым временам управление больше ориентировано на мышь, что весьма неудобно.

От геймплея ничего особенного ждать не придётся. Всё абсолютно также, как и в других MMO, качаетесь, работаете бегунками и громилами под каким-нибудь тупым предлогом. На 10 уровне, игра вдруг резко вспоминает, что она из середины нулевых, но не забывает про MMO, и предоставляет вам игровую свободу. Теперь нам предстоит рыскать по миру в поисках шмотья и других заданий, а вот здесь отсутствие квестовых маркеров вызывает неудобство. И тут на выручку приходят руководства и вики, класс, и ещё всё на одном английском. BioWare то для Star Wars: The Old Republic сделала хоть другие популярные языки, хотя тоже не из удачных пример.

Больше всего хочется восхищаться не игрой, а оптимизмом разработчиков. Игре больше 10 лет, в интернете почти нет никакой информации, а значит нет популярности, онлайн на сегодняшний день не превышает 30 человек, а они ещё поддерживают сервера. Тем не менее за счёт выхода Dream of Mirror Online в Steam они смогли рассказать миру о том, что они существуют, однако последующая раздача дополнений успеха не принесли. Хотя куда интереснее посмотреть на людей, которые играют в неё на протяжении долгого времени, и найдётся ли хоть один человек, кто был с Dream of Mirror Online с самого выхода.

首先介绍下，这是大宇资讯的domo小组在2005年出品的mmo，游戏背景是轩辕剑系列中的昆仑镜世界，是轩辕剑系列的第二款网游，中文名是轩辕剑网络版2：飞天历险。
还请新玩家不要以十年后的眼光看待，美服新开不容易，能有国外的代理还愿意重新接手这个更不容易。
如果觉得英文版不适的，可以去飞天历险吧找国际服有繁体中文的版本（人不多，但国际服最近居然还更新了主线-。-）。
这游戏多数是老玩家回忆过去美好时光的，请新玩家吐槽适度谢谢。
有评论说没音乐的是因为美版默认关了，选项里开启就有音乐了。画面之类的在选项里也可以调节。

The Nostalgia....It hurts so good..
It's crazy seeing the dead game that brought my middle school days any human interaction at all be fully resurrected.
I wonder if any friends will return.

Not really my thing anymore, but some might like it I suppose. I used to play it while it was published and hosted by Aeria Games.

Pros:
-Interesting Class and Job Systems
-Nice art style with low system requirements
-Fair amount features while still remaining simplistic
-In depth alchemy system for item crafting healing items and armor
-Nostalgic for older players
-Automatic looting settings for those in a party (dice roll based, but limited to only party members nearby, so the guy whose AFK on the other side of the map won't steal your materials)
-In depth guilds, with ranking system and guild base
-PvP combat via duel requests
-Reasonbly helpful customer support team
-Only a little over 1 GB of a game, quick to install and delete

Cons (inb4 "I personally enjoy it, so you're wrong!"):
-Poorly written (or at least poorly translated) main questline
-Servers for different countries are rarely used because they just join the US/Canada Server, there's a lot of people who barely even speak english (ie, just got PMed "are you want buy my saphire pet")
-Poor connection to servers, even with best connection speeds
-Character customization is limited
-Generic MehMO at it's core, with all the issues coming with it
-Pets are expensive but just as powerful as a player, usually breaking the PvP system (ie, Players summoning pets mid fight and running away)
-You spend most of the time AFK to either gather resources or selling the left overs you didn't need
-In game economy, with players choosing the prices of most items that you can't buy from NPCs (for better or worse)
-Low player base, most being either anti-social or rude, very few friendly faces until they need something from you
-Extremely few new players (people don't bother to turn on WASD movement in the settings, instead immediately quitting without even glancing in the controls)
-Slow experience gains past level 25, over level 35 and beyond and an agonizing grind-fest
-Alchemy made items have slight stat boosts compared to NPC bought versions, feeling over powered at higher level alchemy skills
-A lot of items can only be bought from players or in the cash shop for real money
-Developers are content in keeping the game the same (only bug fixed and item mall additions are ever added in updates), never anything new or game changing added

Final Score: Nostalgia/10 (I'd give it a 2.5/5 stars)

its okay
