Rakion is one of those heavy PvP MMO games... not like WoW and EQ, there is no real back story aside from small tid-bits you get from the discription of the areas. It uses a strike based attack system, which i think is unique... that and the fact the only other games that i've seen have simlar systems are pretty much first person shooters, but this includes some classes that would want to be in short range, some that would like to be in long range... and some that can be at either range... class balance is a bit of an issue still but really... what game doesn't have that problem, the two classes that seem to be pick on the most as far as people wanting to nerf them seem to be archers and ninjas. It is fun, fast paced, and has nice graphics... some cooperative work (aka stages and team pvp) and alot of solo pvp... you'd definitly have an advantage if your freinds and yourself where in the same room or had a vent system because unless your dead there isn't much time to type...
there are some problems with hacks and bugs... all you can do is report them... softnyx is generally good with patching hack pervention as soon as they find one... they ban the hackers of course too. if you have a slow connection you may experiance problems with ping and find it hard to join in a fight, other then that it is a game worth trying, you can easily get something done if you only have 10 mins to play... and if you have longer... that's good too.... not too much comunication going on in the game so it probably won't be a good chat room. i find it good as anger managment if nothing else(can always enter a solo stage and blow up naks if nothing else =P)
oh did i mention it is free to play and download? yep completely free, they make there money by tempting you to become a power user and buy stuff with cash to upgrade your toon(which is generally slightly better then the stuff you buy with earned gold), but it remains free if you so choose it to be.
where you can download it for free if you never heard of it before and want to give it a try...
