wow..play with me la.. what's ur FUTURE IGN? Btw, choose Closed Beta server...on the bottom one.. OK ?

Played the Chinese version of it till lvl146 with my gang of friends consist of 6 fella. Its best to find 6 friends to play along. Cause the levelling system in this game is different from other games, you will need to have a full party to effectively level up. And the party must at least consist of a healer. Healer is not easy to find in the game as their part will only be healing and buffing up others. No attacking power at all. Pot spamming will never happen in this game cause the potion is so expensive and heal too little.
Another bad thing I dont like bout this game is that, during pk, there will be no strategy as each job can KO each other in one hit.

This game looks so much like RO.

Any english quest walkthrough available on the net?

wei fren... i am in that game wat char nice and stat?pls advise asap

it is in beta?
well if they don reset the server then i'll play

not nice the game..wan to hit 1 monster also need to wait 2 sec then onli my char hit...if the creep walk away then u need chase again then click hit and still neeed another 2 sec ...

better dont play, all the passwords are changed. the server gets hacked easily.

i got water margin installation cd for free from cd shop at lowyat...thinking to play but after saw the screenshot makes me cancel my plan...

I had been playing the game since the beta and was closely observing every aspect of the game as to see if this game is worth to be played. Now this is my reveal.

Introduction:
The game is basically based on the Water Margin story, where most of the NPC are based on the character in the story. Like usual Mmorpg, you will confront with quite the same ideas of leveling, pk, partying, guild, pet (in WMO, you got a hero which look like a hirelings), quest and mission. The gamestyle look so much alike Ragnarok Online, so those who played RO before will get familiar with the game fast.

Gameplay:

Alright, this is the same regular click and slash game like most of today Mmorpg, and there are currently 6 basic classes, the Major (Tanker Warrior Class), the Monk (The High damager Class), the Thief (The fast attacker and dodger Class), the Literatus (The Only healer and supporter), the Taoist (The spell caster Class) and the Peasent (The flexible killer or caster). Current popular class are Peasent and monk cause they deal great damage compare to the other.

Spell based are somehow unique but troublesome. For every spells you need to learn, you need a book which can be obtain from monster drops. Some may required you to solve quest. Spells utilization are limited cause a single class will be given not more that 10 spells in hand. But you will obtain more spells to use once you change job.

Stat are the regular types such as the Str (atk), Con (Vitality, def, etc), Dex (dodge rate and HIt rate), Faith (NOt sure, critical?) and Wis (For magic atk and mp). Optional build for a particular character are possible but somehow limited by the stat option. For example attack speed that was one of an important component is limited here by the equipments.

Party system in this game is something to proud of. NOt that the party system let you get more exp in the shortest time, but it was being designed in a great way so that you know who to party and what to hit for the best of the party. And the great thing that they corporate in the party system is the all solve quest system, where if 5 people were solving the same quest (even for quest items hunting), all will get the items at the same time if they are partying together. I had never felt partying to be so fun since the age of mmorpg.

LEveling was quite ok in my opinion, thank to party system, which will make you level up 4-5 times more faster compare to leveling alone. However, even if you are leveling alone, the exp gain are relatively fast and good. Somehow, you just need to know the trick and approriate monster to kill upon your level, and most importantly, where to hunt them.

Quest is one of the best in this game. I found that it was at least much more better that those lame quest you see in most mmorpg. Although with the same concept of either killing something or obtaining something, but the quest flow in nicely from one chapter to another chapter. The rewards gain are usually exp and $ but sometimes you will get nice items to support you gameplay. And you will find solving quest in the party is really fun too.

Game enhancement in sense of what to do in the game? Countless. From leveling to solving mission and quest. Lot of subquest as well. Then you may sell thing while afk, or just do your job work like farming, lumbering or mining. Even more, you can make accesories, armor, weapon and much much more. This game is not only all about power leveling, there is much more to explore!

The chatting system is ok, but the limit of the text is the problem, and sometimes, people get stuck with some text not visible to be seen on their chat box (Not bug but just dunno how to click on the right icon to show which kind of text). That is why i always chat in the msn instead, at least i can key in more text.

MOnster are ok to kill, ranging from passive to aggresive. They are somehow concentrated in a place (rather that scatter around the map) so that you don't need to run and hunt too far. Stay in a spot will do, which eventually make solving quest and leveling more easier.

Item wise are not bad too, ranging from lot of weapon types, but the biggest concern will be the limited description on the equipment, which confuse lot of player as in who use this equipment. I got a fan but i do not know who use it, cause the equpment didn't mention it. This the biggest weakness in the game.

Control are easy and great, if you are familiar with RO control, there are about the same, click to attack, F1 to F10 key to shortcut your command, right click to change view and etc.

Music and sound are moderate, however this doesn't bother me lot cause i dun really listen to them, i would on my MP3 instead while playing.

Graphic are simple 2 d in a 3d environment, so again if you seen RO graphic, they are about the same. NOthing much to brag about this part except that if your pc spec is low, this the great game for you rather than going for the higher spec mmorpg.

Community wise, you don't see lot of malaysian around although this game was in malaysia. Lot players that i met are either from the us or europe, some Malaysian and singaporean. And so far those i knows are at least not kid, lol (20 over).

They earn money from the vitual online shop which is quite popular for their certain items. And the payment for the items are easy (Paypal), so if you think you are leveling too slow or need something to help you up, as in hireling(hero) or equipments, prepare your cash.

Lastly but not least, it's worth a try? Definitely yes. It only take up little space so why not? Try play with frens and you will find that it was really fun! If not, it doesn't hurt to make new frens from other country in the game.

Hope that this reveal will help you to gain more understanding on what to expect from the game. So see ya all ingame! IF you wanted to knowmore, do not hesitate to ask.

Lvl 32 Peasant so far.

i am the ridge server lv5 literati

Now lv10 already but getting boring zzzzzzzzz

is this boring??
it was even boring when i played maple story, uninstalled the game after reaching lvl6.......maybe due to the mario-similiar interface
i was part of the RO community during a beta stage when it's still free, liked it very much

if it's like RO, i think i'll get a copy of it after my mid term exam and get some of my friends to join

It is some sort like RO

i just got the magazine from gameaxis, is it lag? been wanted to try the game..coz long time no play ro miss la..

the quest r darn hard 2 do.. find da particular ppl over da map..

http://www.watermarginforum.com
Get the people location from the forum under map

This post has been edited by Hunz: May 14 2006, 03:16 PM

just now try for the first time..damn lag la...how 2 play, potong stim d..

lv16, just complete the rabbit king quest. zzzzzzzzzz

lag ah?? lagg than silkroad or GTH ???
if lag dunt feel llike play liao lor.. anyway, compare to RO , which 1 is more harder to lv up?? Water Margin or RO??

lag b'coz of this http://www.108.com.my/english/main.php?lang=eng&NewsID=38

btw, which job should i try if i wan something that is easy to lvl up??
theif?? or peasant?? or others??

i want to play monk, but add what attribute ar??

Now lv18 complete the Chai jade and Wusong bangle. My literatus hit 20,20,20 while other hit 100++ getting boring zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I see peasant and monk easy lv up hit 100+ like that. But must got the fist skill book or the swordman skill book.

LOL why 2D games still got many followers ? I'm baffled by RO bcos its 2D and lag like hell yet so many players. And I still see so many new games in 2D. Me, when I get into a game and find I can't look up and down, I will quit and uninstall.

WMO have fine game concept n looks good at first look but unfortunately it has 2D graphics, bleh.

coz my pc is pentiumIII 500mhz with 256mb ram...........

Lol agree
My pc specs is just the same as you.
Kind long when loading the game for me

At Jingyang ridge server.
who want party with me lv19 literatus? Hoping for a high damaging class like peasant or taost priest or monk higher level than me.

Who want trade skill book with me. I need literatus skill book except purify,defensive and dissolving. I have thief flashing, taoist inferno and major deadly strike.

can any1 gimme swordman book skills 4 my peasant??

u know y? easy, coz u play game by looking at graphic, that's cheap i say, while others will experience the game b4 make any comments...

noob gamers...

duh first mmorpg i played, Ultima Online, already 3D, that was almost 10 years ago.

After years of 3D toon movement, when I installed RO and found myself unable to look up or down it was like "huh?". I like to look around my surroundings, moving my mouse in circle like, habit i guess since many games have quests linked to fixed objects.

Through the years, I've played quite a few mmos since that day in 1996/7 when I first played UO, not all but noob ?, I once frightened a teenage player away just by telling my RL age.

I never care about graphics, any game I play i put graphics at lowest possible to optimise performance. But anything not 3D is just not right anymore.

This post has been edited by Portents: May 17 2006, 07:39 AM

no wonder, first game was in 3D oledi, how lucky u r...

but 10 years ago? OMG let me recall 1st, wat we have 10 years ago? oh ya! 56k dial-up right? do we have broadband that time? nah... unless u use ISDN... lol got ppl play 3D mmo using 56k LMAO

ok lar ok lar, dun wan bully small kid, im not playing water margin anyway, had enough of RO oledi.

sigh imagine the internet in malaysia was actually better years ago compared to now.

jaring dial up to-date is still the most stable internet connection i ever used. it was actually possible to play a mmo with a 33k modem back then.

some game developers put the burden on your comp instead of on your connection. e.g. it was possible (dont know now) to play SWG on a 56k dial up connection, something that will never be possible with say WoW ?

yes i agree that jaring was stable. I could get a stable 52k connection on a 56k modem.

unfortunately most of the wiring here is still copper based... I dont see and how they will implement fibre cables to boost the connectivity.

Though that has been in certain areas, like the MMC/Putrajaya.

No matter how much technology has advanced, some things are better as "back-to-basics."

But i still think 2D (nicely done 2D graphics that is) works... some things dont work in 3D.

RO was nicely done, IMO... but other games that tried to follow were lacklusture.

as far as i know, for a 56k dial-up we only can get around 5k download, or 6k to the max, upload will be even lesser.

of course there are games that suitable to play back at that time lar, i still remember one of it is JY online, that's 2D game, but still very lag if use 56k, tried liao last time.

many years ago i also tried to login MU using 56k, that time they claim that it was the first fully 3D mmorpg, dunno true or not lar, but since i oledi got the cd from dunno wat megazine, so just giv it a try. i installed the game n logged in, but i only manage to go to the game lobi, where u create ur char, n i stuck at there.

now both JY and MU online r free...

well i never get such high bandwidth b4, that is almost equal to streamyx 512 package nowaday, if u say 10% of it then i wouldn't say anything, but that's almost 100% of ur dial-up, which practically i think not possible lor...

This post has been edited by hwa107: May 18 2006, 12:39 AM

yup , i agree . kinda impossible to get even 50% of your total bandwidth mate . Unless u live nxt to the exchange

i'm playing Peasant , Wisdom build .

i used to play RO using a 56K connection
but now using streamyx....

Anyone from Jingyang Ridge server here? I am literatus lv20 looking for party.

Its getting out of topic already

anyone got guide or walkthrough for this game?

This game it's okay..but it gets better when u see at least a person in every area which gets the game more lively..but there are too little skills...

i m a lvl 11 taoist now..and i have like...1 type of skill and there is only a total of 9 skills.. (less than my fingers ) worst comes to worst..u need a skill book to learn a skill..@@"

PLayed this once, it was kinda cool. But i had problem with lagging and computer resetting each time I play, so I deleted the game and had to endure not playing. Found ROSE online after that. It is kinda cool, more cool than Water Margin Online. I enjoy ROSE online more lol!

Just my opinion..

anybody know what are the "country scrupture" for ????

they are from the world cup even...
you can exchange for cape of the flag i think after u collected like 150 of them (not sure)....

I collected a lot of the scrupture .. where to exchange ?

not sure, i quit this frustrating game during the world cup

too bad ...

first i saw it, it looks somewhat like RO. then i got to the website and found that they're using RO's icons! no creativity at all.

oh.. i miss the old RO.

an extremely boring game!!

not only boring in sense of quest and leveling,
extremely frustrated when dealing with the pk issue...
And they really sux your money if you really want to enjoy the game..

what the heck?...click on website link and got death freeze...

didn't see any pot shop (tired sitting to refill hp). this game is superb (boring)

it's sooo boring we(me and bro) deleted it. he even finished the 1st quest!
