Re: Looking for the Very Best Hack n' Slash

Js_wilson,

The game you're looking for is Alter Aeon. We're got random equipment, different equipment tiers, instanced areas, character classes that will probably make sense to you, and optional pk. The only thing unusual is the multiclass setup, where the levels in secondary classes unlock spells and skills, but you're not obligated to learn them. It's totally reasonable to concentrate in your primary class, and only pick up utility skills from the secondaries as you need them.

Other things:

- We have a custom client with a mapper and other features on the web site. It's extremely configurable.

- We have one of the most complete and easily searchable help systems out there. There's also a FAQ, a huge archive of articles on the web site, maps on the web site, a forum, a wiki, and knowledgable players on the newbie channel.

- There's no newbie school, rather you're dropped immediately into a 'get your bearings and do something' quest line. I'd recommend going through it up to level 10 or so - it's supposed to be an engaging set of quests and most people find it fun - but if you'd really rather skip, you're not railroaded into it.

- It's fairly safe to explore. Area level are organized by geography, and if you're in the wrong place, you generally know about it before it becomes a problem.

We'd love to see you there!
