The main secret of the popularity of many browser-based games - easy and FREE. Often the user does not even need a client program - enough to go to the official site, register, enter the password and start playing. In addition, players who are "serious» MMORPG like World of Warcraft are not available due to a low speed connection, a weak computer, or a lack of money, simply have no choice if they want online role-playing game. Finally, many "full» MMORPG unceremoniously not take - you need to read the multi-management, learn tricky role system. But for the development of most browser games sverhusily not required.
ARENA Online, one of the most popular Russian projects, among others, has not yet zanudliv. Do not have time to register, how to fight - do not even need to deal with the interface, basic commands are given to using the mouse, as in Diablo. Want to hit? Left click - and the hero rushes toward the rat (first enemies are not very original ...), thrown out of a few coins. Again, click - and mentee lacks pelf, and then puts it in his pocket.

Slightly more complex things like viewing the contents of knapsacks, the choice of equipment or attack another player, require pressing buttons in the right pane, descriptions of which, in truth, it is no wonder and miss - they appear in a small window at the top of the screen. Helps sense and good will: If the picture shows two crossed swords, the button is probably responsible for the fight, is not it?
The combat system is very simple. Double click on the animal is a signal to attack, and if you do not intend to attack and just missed the mark, correct, pointing the cursor down and clicking the left mouse button. At the same meeting with a more formidable enemy, your mentee will give his soul to God sooner than have time to grope in the pocket of the desired bottle, so that, having met helluva lot of tough enemies, do not try to defend himself - take your feet together and bypass a dangerous place party. Quests in the game there, but very few of them. We can say that the players still left to themselves. There are NPC, but ... taciturn. You come up, click on it, a list of tasks: "buy / sell / learn to accept." That's all. Put in place of firewood, you will not notice the difference.

Death avatar - not a reason to grumble and start a new virtual puppet. Poor man will rise, but the money disappears. But it does not matter: it is easy to replenish funds by going to a half-hour safari. Success in battle depends, primarily, on the preparedness of the character, the second - from the equipment. Although, if time to escape to a safe distance, to restore health, you can hack to death even more experienced opponent. Sleight of Hand and no fraud!
But the rate of flow of the hero tricks, unfortunately, has not increased. Some of the monsters is extremely difficult to send to Valhalla, not previously well furnished and armor and sharp, skillfully edged sword. Naturally, these items cost in the round sum. Well, you can either go out of town to cut less biting fauna, or ... exchange money from Webmoney system for gaming. The latter option, of course, greatly accelerate the development of the hero, although someone much nicer swing ward alone, cherish it throughout the game.
There is one circumstance that compels not too rush to pumping. High-level character to do in the ARENA Online almost nothing: no worthy rivals, securities veshchichki long collected plenty of money - well, boring things. Not be better to prolong the pleasure and a little longer to run in the rank of "green newbie"? What is happening would be less interesting if it were not for a friendly gaming community. The most important component of online games - communication, and in the intervals between battles very nice chat with "colleagues" about the prices the local vendors agree on a joint voyage to the east, to discuss interesting tactics meter ... Users communicate with each other as equals, not satisfied with the hassles and prefer to sort things out outside of the game. In general, the quiet, smooth surface so the grace of God.
However, if you want to punish the insolent insult you, invite him to a fight. Refuse - pass for a coward, if we agree, go to the arena - a place almost in the center of the virtual world in which honor and was named the game. In the same place the battle between the characters. True, a duel one-on-one "- is not the main fun. Sometimes the battles involving whole clans, arranging a grand fights, and it's much more exciting.
Game not very gluttonous in terms of traffic: per hour takes about one and a half megabytes. So if you're using a modem, the special difficulties will not arise: there may be only a short lag, often - after approaching a lively group of players. Download client will not improve any graphics or interface, except that the decrease is approximately 3 times the amount of the pumped media.
However, the order of date of visual number will soon change for the better. The fact that the developers accelerated pace forge a new, fully three-dimensional client, which improves graphics and user interface updates. Perhaps, with its yield ARENA Online will be attractive not only internally but also externally, and get a good chance to climb to the top of the pedestal of the genre browser-based role-playing games.
