Scions of Fate: Review

MMORPG.com offers this review of Scions of Fate today to start the week with.

I tried really hard to find something fun in this game, but it was near impossible. In this game you can only move by clicking and there are no options to change this. The click to move wouldn't have been that huge of a problem, but if you log out in town, when you log back in you will probably be surrounded by the mobs of people that crowd all over the city in sell mode. With so many people surrounding me often it would take me ten minutes or so to find a spot to click so that I could move!

More is just a click away.

A Launch-Day Interview With Scions of Fate

MMORPG.com has posted an interview with the Scions of Fate Dev Team.

MMORPG.com: What type of payment system do you use for players? Has this been successful for you in Asia? How do you think players will react to the system when the game is launched in other areas?

Scions of Fate: Scions of Fate will use the Cash Shop system so players can play the game for free. This payment system has done very well for us in Asia, and we are looking forward to seeing similar results here in the states. This system allows our players to play the game absolutely free, allowing more users to sample our game and see how they like it. It’s good stuff.

Scions of Fate Dev Team answers Questions

WarCry.com posted an interview with the Scions of Fate Development Team. Keep reading to see what they were able to learn.

WarCry Network: Can you give us an insider's perspective of the gameworld - what are the conflicts? What are the major historical events coloring the "present day" in game?

Scions of Fate: In Scions of Fate, the conflict and hatred between the Order and Chaos drives people into turmoil. In the beginning, before the factions formed, people gathered to share their knowledge; however, as the numbers of martial artists grew, they started to focus on gaining power rather than searching for enlightenment. Some of the groups started to call themselves the Order, people who walk the path of righteousness. They invited many schools, houses, families, and guilds to join them. As for those who did not join the Order, they named themselves Chaos. The members of Chaos did not have much power because they couldn't form one solid, cohesive group.

Combat, PvP, equipment, crafting, quests and more

RPG Vault has posted the conclusion of their Scion of Fate interviews. You can catch the first interview here.

Jonric: How combat-oriented is Scions of Fate, and within this element, what notable or unusual features would you like to mention?

Samuel Kim: By combat-oriented, I'm wondering if you mean PvP vs. PvE. Scions of Fate is a game designed to help build and make online communities so, of course, there is PvP AND PvE. But if you were to ask which of the two the game is more focused on, I would have to respond by saying the party system. Partying up is absolutely key in Scions of Fate, whether it be for PvP OR PvE, the game is much simpler when you're not alone.

New Interview at RPG Vault

RPG Vault has posted an interview with MGame USA's Manager of Game Services, Samuel Kim. Keep reading to learn more about this upcoming game.

Jonric: To begin with an introductory overview, what kind of online world is Scions of Fate, and what is its basic underlying premise or concept?

Samuel Kim: Scions of Fate is a casual action MMORPG based on the conflicts between the two major factions of Central Valley, The Order and Chaos. In the story, Central Valley was originally a place where aspiring warriors and adventurers gathered to gain both strength and ability; it was a time of peaceful learning and devout training. But as time passed, the warriors of Central Valley began to create philosophy and ideology behind their teachings, which led to disorder and unease amongst the ranks.

This from the main page -

The name of our game is no longer Ylgang: Balance of Power. We decided to change the name of our upcoming game because it seemed hard for the English speaking users to pronounce the name of the game...

Yes.. Yulgang is so hard to wrap my tongue around.

Sewwww, the game is now Scions of Fate. Much easier to pronounce. You can find the information on this new but not new game right here at fate.netgame.com

Good change or bad? Discuss!
