I really hate to have a bad review of a game. But seriously, if I have to compare the game with the pioneer of 2D side scrolling MMORPG, Maple Story, Ghost Online is just a me too product of the genre. I still don't have a chance to play Dragon Gem, the other title of this genre. But if this title is not far from it's competitor, they will be dead.

Status and Skill

One thing that I like about a customizable status is that people will have a wide range of variety in the Ghost Gen game. One can choose the same job but has a different characteristic compare to other. And yes, you can choose which stat that you want to add in this game by allocating certain point that you get when you level up. BUT the logic of stat allocating in this game IS very very out of ordinary. Out of ordinary can be good if the game can offer us a different way of playing. BUT (again, OMG I shouting a lot of BUT in this review, ARGH!), this game stat is SOOOO WEIRD that it became the nerd and weirdos in its class! How can your melee damage is greater when you increase your DEX compare to the damage when your STR being increased??? And that's happened to the warriors job!!! It is very obvious, that if you want to increase your melee damage, the common sense of nowaday MMORPGs, is to increase your STR!

The skill is somewhat interesting. BUT (word of the day, eh?), I just felt that at certain point, it is implemented in a ridicilous way. This game is trying to make everything easier by giving support skill to get the fast paced feeling compare to its predecessor. So they gave players freedom to use their support skill without mana or sp in town. However, this policy is not implemented in a consistent way. In the battlefield, if you use the sprint skill, it will cost you some mana. In town, you can run whenever you want without fear of losing any mana. BUT if you use the high jump, wherever you use it, you WILL LOSE your mana! Imagine if the structure of the town is vertical and you use too much jumping skill, you have to rest each time you reach certain height! That's ridicilous!
