FOR PEOPLE THAT KNOW WHAT THIS COMPANY IS, READ PARAGRAPH ONE. PEOPLE WHO DON'T READ PARAGRAPH TWO.
Paragraph 1
Anyone else play AQ, Dragonfable, Mechquest, or AQWorlds? Or warpforce, the new one. I play all but AQWorlds. I think they kinda screwed up on the MMO. What do you guys think? Anyone upgraded on them?
Paragraph 2

This splits into three main areas, considering I can't really give any info on AQWorlds since I haven't played it more than twenty minutes in the beta. If someone could make up a section for it I'll add it as I see fit. Thanks.

AQ AKA AdventureQuest AKA Battleon
AQ is a click to go single player game. By click to go I mean you have to click on an area like a shop to go there. It's not click to move, where you traverse land by clicking on areas. It is a huge flash game, that has its own servers to allow them to save information everywhere. The game is free to play, with the option to purchase guardianship, which is this game's equivalent to runescape membership (of which I hope you already know). The only difference is it's a one time payment of $20, with cards in Target that can also be used as a method of payment. It unlocks 75% more of the game. You can also pay a small additional fee of $10, or $5 if payed for in your guardian upgrade, to become an X-Guardian. They get several more of a secondary currency, Z-Tokens, at the upgrade. They also get 10% more experience per battle. On the topic of Z-Tokens, they are a secondary form of currency in the game, other than gold, than is extremely scarce. You can get 50 max a day in guardian, 25 free to play, or known as adventurer. They are spent for the more powerful equipments and for houses. But how can I get some of these tokens? Some items cost thousands! Well you can seperately purchase small packages of the tokens, a few thousand each, or the more popular method, buy a house. Why buy a house? Every day your house increases its value in Z-Tokens. 5% of the original value per week. My house is currently worth 16,000 z-tokens. I started with 250 Z-Tokens. It took me three and a half years. Not to mention, you can sell your house and buy more valuable ones, to increase the gain of tokens. There are other methods of gaining tokens, through promotions, but these normally require you to enter personal information. Now to move onto the battle system. It focuses on using a resistance system. You choose a weapon, which would choose damage and element, an armor, which chooses a resistance to enemy attacks and also decides the number of attacks you do with melee weapons, a shield which boosts resistances like armor but not as drastically, spells, which are a magical type of attack, and pets, which are companions that attack alongside you. You also have items which can be activated during every battle that do random things, depending. There are also class armors. These are the same as normal armor, but they come in levels. Ten levels, only five for adventurers. These levels barely affect damage or resistance. They more or less unlock skills, ranging from throwing a shuriken to summoning an undead minion to attacking with a dragon's claw. Play as a ninja, dragonslayer, or even dragonkin itself! It's easy to get into, and the game has hundreds of fun missions, with wars that have counters that increase due to all players' kills. If you wanna give it a try, sign up here.

PICS:



Use circus tents to your advantage!



Summon dragons with your weapons!

Dragonfable AKA DF
This game is based on a click to move style. You can buy a dragon amulet instead of guardianship. It uses the same basic battle system, there are a few differences. You can't choose armor. You can change you're class, which changes armor, but there is no real way to get decent resistant against enemies. Instead of Z-Tokens, there are Dragoncoins. Sadly these are only gainable through purchase or extra offers. You can battle with specific abilities, which unlock through standard leveling. It has plenty of quests and weapons. It isn't much for explaining, I suggest trying it out first. Sign up here.

PIC:



Somtimes you have to prove that mice are stronger than men!

Mechquest AKA MQ
This game is a combination of AQ and DF. It uses AQ spell system as the entire attacking mechanism. You can upgrade to a starcaptain for cash. You buy individual body parts for your giant mecha. There are practically no resistances here. It's all about attacks. There is a slightly larger grind here. Instead of Dragoncoins, it's nova gems, which are the exact same way as dragoncoins. You walk with the same system as DF. It is a nice game to play in spare time, as there is no pressure with timing or other members. Sign up here.

PICS:



Yup. I am fighting as a chainsaw murderer against a giant toe.



Eye love having four legs and a ghost trap! And a frying pan!

So if you haven't seen the games yet give them a try! Hilarious puns, awesome weapons, and plenty of fun quests await!

 

As I got older I tired of Mechquest and Dragonfable as well, but AQ stayed with me. Probably cause the feeling of nostalgia I get.
