Review

When creating your first character you are first asked to choose which Nation you would like to join, Ganav Libero or Primus Union. Once chosen, the account will be locked and all your characters will belong to that Nation. You can have up to three characters per account. There are also six different classes (Warrior, Mage, Monk, Cleric, Rogue, and Hunter) and three races: the human-like Senekas, animal-like Matskas, and the tiny fairies called, Koshares. Both genders are available for each race. And what’s neat is that each race and gender has a different Race Skill Tree with different abilities. This allows further customization even between players of the same class. Moreover, your character will eventually have the opportunity to pick a sub-class which carries its own equipment, level, and skills. A Sub Class Skill Tree is shared between both classes providing additional bonuses for leveling up your second class. You can easily switch between your two classes at anytime.

After creating your character, depending on which nation you choose, you appear in Crissium or Holyland. As you level up, you gain access to other continents such as Kanto, a wide open desert, and Archahel, an icy mountainous region. Cloud Nine has also announced their opening of another continent this upcoming summer, known as the volcanic region of Ceres. Ceres will be available for levels 60 and higher.

Each area of the game includes multiple dungeons which further expands the world of Cloud Nine. Elite Bosses can also usually be found at the end of each of these dungeons and offer unique rewards not easily obtainable from weaker monsters.

Cloud Nine also offers hundreds more quests than the previous version. Quest and monster locations are marked on the map lowering the amount of time spent searching for NPCs or enemies. In addition to regular quests there are Story Quests, marked in blue instead of yellow. These quests offer more exceptional rewards than regular quests and have no level requirement.

The newest and biggest features of Cloud Nine are the Monster Card and Monster Transformation systems. Each monster in Cloud Nine has its own card, which can be collected and put into a Monster Book. There is a Monster Book for every area of Cloud Nine. After completing the book you are given gourds as a reward which can be used to tame a monster to become your pet! With this system, there are hundreds of pets that can be tamed to fight alongside you, which can be equipped with up to three Pet Skills. Furthermore, each pet can be leveled up and evolved, which changes its appearances. If you get bored of a pet but don’t want to spend the time to level up a new one, you can transfer the stats of one pet to another, but the old will be lost in the process.

There are also Monster Transformation Cards. These cards turn your character into the monster specified. After transforming, you get to choose which skills you want. While transformed, you takeover the monsters stats and may attack or be attacked by any player, just like a real monster. If a player gets defeated by this monster transformed player, there is a chance the player will be ‘infected’ and also turn into this monster. Defeating players as a monster and defeating monster transformed players gives you various rewards. Monster transformation will last for 15 minutes or until you are defeated.

While you aren’t questing, card collecting, taming, transformed, or boss hunting, there is also a Crafting System. There are three different crafts to choose from, Alchemy, Metalworking, and Jewelcrafting. Alchemists can create potions and equipment upgrade scrolls, Jewelcrafters can create jewels to socket your equipment with, and Metalworkers can create accessories for your character and keys to open locked chests. You can collect the materials to make different items from three gathering professions: Mining, Fishing, and Gathering. Unlike the crafts, gathering professions do not have a level and players only need to purchase a tool from a NPC to mine, fish or gather. Exceptionally lucky players may also find an exclusive pet that can only be obtained through these professions.

While the beginning areas of the game are Non-PvP, further areas are completely open to both factions. This allows constant Nation vs. Nation field PvP. In addition to this, there are also regular Party Matches and Nation Wars where players can gain additional fame and medals. Fame and medals can then be used to purchase special items including jewels, costume pieces, and mounts.

Overall, Cloud Nine has tons of new features which are unique and as well carries all the standards of a regular MMORPG. The graphics are appealing and high quality and the animations smooth. New contents are being added regularly, the most recent being the remarkable Couple and Marriage System. If you’re looking for a casual, anime-esque mmo, try out Cloud Nine today!
