Still some few years ago, an acronym MMORPG was known only to the few fans of this genre so employees gaming press. Today, every schoolchild will tell you that for the unknown with the mind set of letters hidden the name of one of the most promising trends in the computer games industry - MassivelyMultiplayedOnlineRolePlayingGame. It is for these games, containing a giant worlds, amazing, incredible adventure and the opportunity to interact with other "live" players, see the future of video games in general. Since the introduction of the first MMORPG, no way can be considered UltimaOnline, literally before our eyes was born a lot of interesting universes: fantasy (Asheron'sCall, EverQuest); sci-fi, action-dominated part (PlanetSide); space, many who have taken on kosmosimulyatorov (Earth & Beyond) ... However, the most suitable for making MMORPG world, ready and needs only a light processing, until recently, remained unclaimed. But the holy place is never empty. And SonyOnlineEntertainment, briefly distracted from the universe EverQuest and enlisted the support itself LucasArts, released StarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided.
Indeed, where as not in the world of "Star Wars" old Lucas to create a network RPG, whose essential attribute is the abundance of races and a variety of environments. Something which, as a good enough in Star Wars. Developers have approached the matter carefully recreating the world, resulting in players will be able to visit virtually all ever mentioned in the film locations, and visit new places. Of course, with great attention to reproduce not only landscapes, but their population. All the amazing creatures, hits us from TV screens and cinemas have found a refuge in the vast StarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided. Moreover, the characters of the film are also waiting to meet you in the game world. Would you like to chat with a menacing Wookiee named Chewbacca? Want to get acquainted with the irresistible Han Solo? Craving to experience the charm of Princess Leia? Everything in your power. However, saying that all of these characters are waiting for a meeting with you, I'm a bit exaggerated. In fact, they, in general, nothing to do with the player. Moreover, achieving a meeting with these characters and not being "cool" to do their quests, you risk running into the rough, or, at best, a cold indifference.
But what are we all about them, so for them. Let's talk about you. Who also appears as a player in the world StarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided? Embodied in the game you can as a representative of one of eight civilizations, among whom the traditional people, charming Wookiees and Rodian less well known. It is encouraging that by selecting grown fond race, you can edit the minutest details of his hero, defining not only sex, but also features of the face and body.Agree, nice to travel around the fantasy world inhabited by a diverse group of characters, rather than a crowd of cloned freaks. And if the inhabitants of the vast yet diverse world and engage in their own business, it just appears that the most desirable effect of the presence and reality of events. To honor SonyOnlineEntertainment, employment issues players StarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided she busied herself in earnest.
Actually, it is a set of occupations distinguishes the game from the other representatives of the genre.
Remember, what we have to deal with the vast majority of such MMORPG? Typically, a player becomes a warrior, mage, thief, or some other martial character and goes in search of adventures, completing quests, Kill the crowd of opponents and thus earning experience. This way of life in StarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided prepared for only two of the six main classes of characters - and Marksman'u Brawler'u (specialists ranged and melee, respectively). Scout, however, the character is also quite common, hunted the study of the world and picking up everything that is bad, but with Entertainer'om, Artisan'om and Medic'om special case. It is no secret that the other network RPG healing heroic players and manufacture weapons for them to deal specifically designed for this NPC. StarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided, legitimately claim to originality, interaction takes players to a new level. Chose a medical profession, artisan or artist, you are automatically eliminated from the fighting and start living the good of kindness and peace. Doctors earn experience and improve skills, healing physical injuries players fighters. Artists restore mental harmony soldiers. A tradesmen, respectively, to produce their weapons. Than skilled craftsmen, the more powerful weapons and useful things it can produce. Cooperation, however, does not end there. It is not hard to guess that neither the artisan nor the physician nor the actor did not survive the battle with a little bit tough opponent, but at least the first two to be successful, you may need rare raw materials: grass, materials, etc. Thus, on their own quests for players born warriors, quests are not on the NPC, and from those of the living players.
Alas, the coin was found and the reverse side. In fact peaceful occupations were much more boring bloody work. Agree, as much fun to wander through uncharted realms in search of adventure, emerging victorious from the heated battles and skirmishes, than to sit in, healing the sick and the people rejoice. The situation aggravates the original system of raising characters. If other MMORPG, as in conventional single-RPG, is often used in the traditional scheme of self-distribution of experience points to the necessary parameters, then StarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided different way. Here to "pump", for example, the ability to hand combat, you have to constantly fight without weapons. Assume a fight and this is interesting, but how exciting for medic every day to make the same passes hands in the same hospital, laying in this game for blood cu - The big question. But without pumping the hero can not get access to new abilities, and with them, and to more specialized an interesting profession, a total of about 30 pieces.
Against the overall underdevelopment has an enormous potential gaming world, such a system is capable of rapidly bury all the advantages of gameplay. World StarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided really poor at the moment events. Giant space sometimes do look empty and lifeless.Although we should not forget that we are talking about network RPG, able to grow indefinitely. Much depends on the total number of players and the future work of the creators of the game. Latest sit idly obviously not going to realize the promise of the possibility of traveling to different commute and flying vehicles, as well as mounts. No less interesting is the intention of SonyOnlineEntertainment create in the game world city, driven by the players that make their interaction with each other even more fun. In the meantime, the mission is mainly limited by express delivery jobs of any article or the classic "Go back and then to kill something." And even the conflict with rebels of the Empire at this time does not appear explicitly.
Meanwhile, it fights and shootings are most pleasing to the eye vStarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided. The play of light, smooth, versatile animation and dancing shadows of the most favorable influence on the battle. Developers used in the game most of modern technology, resulting in the world was not only big, but beautiful. However, with screenshots in my eloquence is not to compete, so see for yourself.
In general, uniquely assess StarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided too early, just like any other MMORPG immediately after its release. Network role and projects so good that at any time after they can be significantly improved and corrected. On the one hand StarWarsGalaxies: AnEmpireDivided meets us quickly bored by the gameplay, quests, and frankly primitive unexamined weak storyline. On the other - there is great graphics and a rich, hopefully, only not yet been realized potential. We will wait for the show itself formidable empire, when activated by the brave rebels, and the world is full of interesting players, geroyamivkupe with exciting plot tasks. Brighten up the same expectation of you will be able to boring, but very useful "pumping" his alter-ego. Laying out $ 15 monthly ...
