I have defended the Realm of Magic in previous reviews, but this time, they have gone too far. First of all, they implemented a system of levelling which disadvantages those who are too good at it. They have a system of xpquests, whereby if you can finish them in a time shorter than 7 minutes, aka 95% of them, you receive a lag between quests. As a consequence, this is approximately 40% the efficiency of the only other method of levelling, which is killing monsters. They have only about 8 zones which are worthwhile of levelling, which as a result, if you pass level 40 (about 10 days of work), your time is spent clearing those same 8 zones nonstop.

The second problem, apart from the monotony of their levelling system, is that the administration constantly implement changes which affect only 1/4 of the playerbase. Hence, you have utterly unbalanced characters. The older you are, the more advantage you receive from the continuous changes. For example, I remorted twice in my character. The immortals(admin) of the game refused to allow me to return to my base class, having been caught as the wrong class at the time of their implementation. With NO prior warning. They finally allowed me to remort, after clearing from my bank account 18 qts, 240 qps and 18 million gc. In terms of gameplay, these values are the result of years of work. The immortals have no consideration of the impacts of their implementations, and their capriciousness determines how well one can achieve in one's char.

Not the least, but this game does not have anywhere near the playerbase it claims to have. At any one time, it has no more than 8 players online. Generally, 3 of these are immortals. If community is what you play for, don't even bother. Danlo
