Hey guys, how you all doing? Well, thanks to the fantastic staff at mmosite.com, this weekend I was lucky enough to score myself a closed beta key for Key to Play's new game Priston Tale 2; the second enigma and although this game boasted some rather intense graphics, smooth combat, interesting quests and a few other unique features not found in other MMORPG titles, the game, for me, still lacked that wow aspect, that X-factor which leaves your jaw swinging about your knees. Does this mean you should not play this game? Absolutely not as this game is packed with features which long-standing fans of the classic fantasy MMORPG genre are sure to love.

To cover a more technical aspect of the game, first, let me begin by saying this game is fairly graphically intensive, so you're going to need a higher end system if you want it to run at full capacity. Even with my new computer, there were some parts in the game which made my screen flicker, just the slightest bit. But, if you're able to run games such as Requiem, or even 2 Moons, you should be fine. If you have any problems, just turn off the special effects in the options menu under the graphics sections

As you might have already guessed from the title, Priston Tale Gold is of course a sequel to the first  Priston Tale Gold and as you might expect, the story line plays a fairly large part in the game which helps provide a little more inspiration towards the questing side of the game rather than simply grinding. Essentially, it is only through completing the game's quests that you are able to uncover the back story of the game as well as what perils currently face the realms and how these might be thwarted.

Be warned, however, as this is a big game and you are going to require a lot of hours to get through the main story quests if you want to do the whole linier start to finish thing, not to mention the many, many side quests and those which aid you in developing skills for your character or gathering things for various craft.

Like all MMORPG games, your character can follow several classes, or job rolls, each with their own specific strengths and weaknesses. In  Priston Tale Gold, these classes include; the wizard, whom is designed for more offensive roles and if handled correctly, has the capacity to deal massive damage; the warrior and knight, both of which are melee based roles and suited to close combat; the huntress who is a ranged combatant, utilizing bows and javelins and the disciple which follows your priest, priestess or cleric style archetype and though can be used in combat, is far better suited to providing aid in the way of statistic buffs and healing. Each of these classes can be upgraded when the appropriate level is reached, thus giving players access to more powerful skills and abilities. At current, there are two races to choose from; Tempskron and Morion, but there are plans for the release of a third race in the near future.
