As a player, more so a first time mmorpg player, there is a lot of things that comes to my mind when I think of League Of Angels. The first thing I would say is that I have enjoyed playing since I first started a few months ago. In fact I enjoyed the game so much I had found myself constantly online playing, thinking about the game and trying to find the best way to improve. One of the things I am really glad about, is that this game is my leeway into the world of pc games and has really been something that makes me see the value in other similar games. It has encouraged me to seek other games and try them as well. Personally I tend to be concerned about appearances both in games I've played and games I would play, so I really enjoy the color/ contrast I see and experience in the game.
Things to note about the game is that like every other game; it does have its issues and things that could be improved on. one of my least favorite things about the game is the unfriendliness of it. By this I mean that it encourages stealing (such as crops from friends gardens), enslaving, and attacking friends (such is in wyrm racing,and Raiding) While there are some things that is understandable, I don't really enjoy attacking my friends for my benefit, or stealing and raiding from them.. so I don't get the extra stuff I prob could if it was not my friends. There is also no trading options, so you can't help out your friends, even if you want to; this also includes in game married couples.
Another thing is that there is no individuality or creativity for the players. Everyone essentially looks the same based on their class, so all mages look the same, all sworsdman/swordswoman, archers and etc. You do not get to make your own character and the only way your appearance changes is based on the clothing you may have/ win from events.I find that I don't really fancy the male costumes, whereas I quite enjoy the female clothing and items. Some of them I find myself really wishing I can have, but am unable to get for various reasons.
And to both the best/ worst thing about the game, Money. As all games that have an option to use real money, there are different views. For the people who have money and are able to spend it on the game, money is welcomed, or is a welcomed reprieve. For people who don't have money, are unable to spend, or don't see the value in spending, money is an obstacle and can be quite daunting. It can make or break a person and their enthusiasm for the game. For the free players, and people who enjoy working their way up to the top, there is anger in knowing that someone who has never played the game or don't strategize can easily defeat them and all their hard work Essentially it can develop a form of resentment and anger towards spenders because although a person may want to get really far, they are limited by their inability or unwillingness to spend, and may either leave the server or game. For the person who doesn't have much time to play the game because of their work or other reason, but would like to play, it is a welcomed fact that they are able to spend money to get stronger and not fall behind. Of course there is no balance in the game, and the knowledge that someone a lower level can easily beat or surpass a higher level can be very annoying. There is also the fact that it does seem like the game is geared more towards the "heavy" spenders as opposed low/ non-spenders, so there is, of course a level of unfriendliness in that aspect, especially as seen in many of the in game events.
Lastly, there are also technical issues in the game. Like all programs, they need to be constantly checked and improved. Sometimes we face technical errors, often times in cross server (which is a part of the game) and Team Arena. Sometimes it feels like the game is slow, or my laptop ends up having to refresh. It also seems like there is no bracket for Cross server and Team arena, so sometimes low levels end up facing really high levels. Regardless of it's issues though, I still find myself enjoying the game, and i'd encourage everyone to at least try the game and see for themselves.
