The other day I got my usual craving for browser based MMOs. Something I could just leap into. And thats exactly what I did with Magicduel.com . The only way I can describe the site is "Interesting" With an intrigued expression on my face. It really is quite strange. But I enjoy it. Well, GROWING to enjoy it. It starts off on a rather slow pace in my opinion.
Let me list some of the oddities:
It randomly asks you questions to figure out what your personality is like.
There is no currency.
There is a story mode apart from the main roaming that deals with your stats etc.
Items get created for specific purposes, and specific people. So be honoured if you have any sort of item, its important.
it asks you to choose between different schools of magic, but doesn't explain what they do (Although it offers a huge paragraph about each sort)
Its PvP, and its good to loose half your battles. Balance is important in everything.
The best way to describe it to anyone is "MYST online."
And yes, to be honest, I think magicduel.com is a bad name for it. It makes it sound so gay and generic. When really its so straight and different.
I give it 5 interesting stars out of an undetermined amount of stars.
