THE GOOD:Not very taxing on a dial up connection, good variety of equipment, and is humorous.
Can't interact with players during game.
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.
