Trickster Online Finally Out

By the gods, Trickster Online is finally out.

The spiritual successor to other popular online MMOs such as Maple Story and Runescape, Trickster Online has entered the beta stage of what many hope to be the beginning of yet another free online RPG. But what, you ask, makes Trickster different?

For one, it’s been delayed from the original start of the open beta (July 10th) to this morning, ensuring that most of the people interested in another MMO would’ve heard of this. In addition, it requires the player to log in the Trickster website (Internet Explorer only!), and launch the game from there due to an enigmatic control called Single Sign On which lets you play any of the games sponsored by GamenGame . In case you really got bitten by the MMO bug.

Anyway, the gameplay itself (or the portion that centers around fighting) is a tile-based isometric system that operates in real-time. As one of eight different character classes (Two for each ‘archetype’, such as the Magic Type, Power Type, etc) you fight monsters, go through quests, yada yada yada. It’s pretty unlikely that the basic system is unfamiliar to most players.

In addition, experience can be gained through card games, or drilling for items, enjoyable sub-games that can be a break from quests, some of which are repeatable. Crazy.

Right now Trickster Online is in a ‘Closed Beta’, but from the wording on the official site, it seems rather as if the game is in a open beta, just that the amount of simultaneous players that can be logged in is, er, in the thousands. At least you can try, right?

“They can be distinguished by their hairstyle as Miranda, the older one, has an updo while the younger one, Mirabo, lets her hair down. They are both dressed up as parrots to reflect what they do.”

Just.. wow.
