Adventure Quest

THE BAD:
This, like most sites, allows for free accounts and free play. But to get the most out of the game you have to pay. Even with a free account you can still travel most of the map, participate in the wars, join a clan etc. But you can't enter the guardian tower and you can't get quite a few high level items. Plus there is a server for free accounts. This server is limited to how many people can play on it at a time. With a free account you might get stuck refreshing for a few hours just to get in the game. Since out of 10,000 people, 9,000 could be guardians, this system is hard for the free player.

SUMMARY:
The really great thing about this site is the fact that to become a guardian you pay only once. This isn't a site where you have to pay a monthly fee. For only $19.99 I was able to become a guardian. In the long run, to make this game more fun this was a good deal. The enemies are truly original and some are pretty comical. Some are repulsive beyond belief. There are so many quests and different places to go it's hard to get bored. And of course there are always wars or battles going on. This game is fun to play. It's challenging, it's funny, it's horrifying, and it's constantly updating. My advice is to create a free account, enter the game, click on the little creature, and go talk to the frogzard hunter. That is the best way to see what the game is like. Plus you are already provided with a weapon and basic armor in the beginning. But the true RPG fan will love the amazing shops filled with weapons, shields, spells, armor, and pets. The selection is great. Plus there are extras in the game that are fun to find. Certain weapons or pets that require you to embark on epic quests.

As a cool extra to the game you can buy a house. Which can be decorated, guarded, can give extra potions. And since the site is always being updated new houses are on the way. Soon you could own your own castle with fierce guards, in your own kingdom. This game is a great way to sit back and just chill out while kicking some monster butt. I'd recommend this game.

THE BAD:
No game is perfect. Although Adventure Quest is good fun and admittedly addictive, it’s limited in lifespan. How you ask? Well even though there are plenty of quests and things to buy and do, the monsters... can become, repetitive, although there are around 700+ monsters you will only meet certain monsters for a certain period of time, this is because of the leveling, you seldom meet the normal average Fire Zard once your level reaches the 80 boundary you only meet the Elite Zard's and Zard X3. I love this game but we need more things to do and the staff brings us that by working hard all week to bring us new quests, but these quests can only be done a few times before they become monotonous!

SUMMARY:
1) 100's of weapons to choose from and they come in varieties of Melee, Ranged and Magic.
2) Spells, loads of them, look cool to cast and are great for monster slaying!
3) Armours are also wide in variety, including uber armours like Nightmare Plate and the now rare, Golden Armour.
4) Pets and Guests are fun and are almost essential to the game, making sure you have the right pets/guests for battle can make success that much easier!
5) Recently Items have been added, these great little add-ons can increase your stats and/or defences an example of this is the rare Amulet of Drakkonan, not only does it raise your intelligence by 10 it also gives 10 extra Fire Defence and 5% Magic defence, truly an elite piece of equipment!
6) There are over 100 different environments to choose from and in these environments come the 700+ monsters!
7) Wars and events happen on a regular basis so you never get immensely board!

THE BAD:
gets tedious too quickly, (X) guardian ship fee, small servers, can't hold enough equipment, you pay for stuff you win in quests.

Can't interact with players during game.

SUMMARY:
Adventure Quest is an online rpg where you create your own character and participate in battles.

New users get 3 free play throughs and get to see a small part of the game, after this the servers are usually too full to play. after that you can pay a fee of $14.95 and get unlimited access

The game is played through turn based battles, which is actually fun if you play it only for a short time period however you feel no sense of progress and it gets very tedious, sadly this is one of the game's biggest weak points and drags it down because it's a core element.

The humor may evoke a chuckle at times, and some of the situations are truely funny, but this is unfortunately, a rare element.

The variety of equipment is one of AQ's strongest points, there is a myrad of equipment to chose from and each one has a unique feel, obtaining the equipment is another story.

In AQ, the only things you get for free are a sword and a piece of armor, everything (including stats.) has to be bought, and you have to be the right level to even think of buying it. This really drags the game down because of how expensive every thing is exp wise and gold wise.

Player interaction is a double-edged sword here, you don't feel like you make any impact on other players, but at the same time you don't have to deal with jerks, stalkers, and PKs like you do on runescape.

It pains me to give a low score to an rpg, but AQ omits the good elements. (feeling progress, getting that sought after item, regardless of wealth and experience.) and ends up feeling mediocre because of it.

THE BAD:
Only one thing - the server is too small, you can only get 5000-6000 free players on at a time.

SUMMARY:
This is a great game, even without guardianship(paying). You should play this game even if you don't want to give a one-time donation of $14.95 (£8.50). A load of my friends, play this game, and they all say it is amazing as well. If you don't believe any of us people, you have to play it yourself. But remember, make sure you have a couple of hours spare on your hands, you will need it. If you become a guardian, you double the amount of fun you can have, because as well as logging on whenever you want, you have extras such as different towns, extra weapons, the guardian town, and much more accessability and chance to have fun.

THE BAD:
Nothhin!

SUMMARY:
Best game ever mad. All those punks who play runescape are nerds but this is a totaly sick game, You Should Check it out. Also The Game had humour and you would always read the profiles and check if it was funny. They also update the game everyday so everyday you have somthing new at your fingertips. I would litterly wake up at 5:00 Am to play adventure quest. IT is perfect in so many ways. If you want to become a guardian you realy should and adds many more new things and just makes the game even more fun to play. All in all i give it 9.5/10. Also The game always has somthing diffrent to fight i eman theyres more the 450 monsters. EVeryday i fight somthing new and everyday i do a diffrent quest and find a diffrent type of sword. I tell you, You get so exited when you find somthing good in that game. I say Play dis game till u drop because trust me, Adventure Quest will blow your mind away!
