The Beginning....
First of all, i want to concentrate on Shaiya specifically, because thats the game i enjoy most playing. You ask why? Read carefully and you will see the answer.
Ok, let's get started.
First, of course you need to download the game.
It has around 900MB, so with a nice internet speed it will go very quickly.
Even if your speed isn't as fast, let it download through the night, while you are sleeping and preparing yourself for the wonderful world of Shaiya ^^
The download you can find on:
shaiya.aeriagames.com
It has several mirrors offered for faster download, so your needs are taken care of.
After the download, install the game.
If you have ever installed a game, you will know how to do it, and even if you didn't, just follow the instruction (yes, they are given) and you will do it fast.
You need to create an account on the Shaiya forum, and with that account and password you log in to the game.
Starting....
Start the game with double click or one click and enter!
Intro appears, blah blah, wait till a small window appears where it asks for your nickname and password.
Put in the User ID and Password from your Shaiya forum account, like i told you to.
After that is done a new screen appears where you're asked which fraction you want to join,
The Alliance of Light (AoL) or the Union of Fury (UoF).
This decision is was pretty simple to me, since i was always drawn to the dark side ^^
After that is done, choose a server.
Again, it is best in my oppinion, to choose the last server, since it must be new and if you want to practise that is the best for you.
The older servers are pretty old, has a lot of experienced players, so you might not understand all things right away.
Customization:
After choosing a side and choosing a server, you will find yourself on the beginning screen.
Click on Create, in order to create your first character.
New window appears, where you can tipe in your name you have chosen for the character, Male or Female, Height,Hair, Face etc and of course Class.
Mode:
First you have offered 2 modes, Easy Mode (EM) and Normal Mode (NM).
I suggest that you start with Normal Mode and dont waste your time with Easy Mode.
After reaching Level 40 on Normal Mode, Hard Mode (HM) is opened.
Then, you go make a new character and choose Hard Mode.
After reaching Level 40 on your Hard Mode character, Ultimate Mode (UM) is opened.
Be careful!
If you die with your UM (ultimate mode) character, withour having Ressurection runes in your inventory, or without a Ressurection of an Oracle or Priest, your UM character will be permanently deleted.
Classes:
For every fraction, there is an equivalent, so let me introduce you to 4 Classes where each have 3 representatives, Shaiya has to offer:
There are Nordein aka The Deatheaters, Vail, Elf and Human.
UoF AoL
Guardian <--------> Defender
Warrior <--------> Fighter
Hunter <--------> Archer
Pagan <--------> Mage
Oracle <--------> Priest
Assassin <--------> Ranger
UoF
Nordein aka The Deatheaters are:
Guardian, Warrior and Hunter.
Vail are:
Pagan, Oracle and Assassin.
AoL
Human are:
Defender, Fighter and Priest.
Elf are:
Mage, Archer and Ranger.
In my next blog, i will tell you a bit something about each class, what are they good at, and what they do a bit difficult, so stay tuned for a bit more excitement. xD

Shaiya
Let me start with the usuall stuff, story, introduction, then we'll move on to the more detailed part of the game.

In a time before time, when the world was only in darkness, a Goddess came from another dimension named Etaine, with a mission to create the world of Shaiya in harmony and prosperity. In 333 days, through her will, strength, and a desire for a perfect world, she created the vast and rich land called Teos Epeiros. She initially created one large ocean that she immersed herself in to create all the continents out of her flesh. Mountains were made high and rivers ran deep throughout the land in likeness of the veins that ran within her body. She created green forests and plains that engulfed the lands in the likeness of her youthful complexion. The sky and stars inherited their exquisiteness from the likeness of her eyes.
All lives began from the hands of the Goddess of Etaine. At first, she created the Dragon Gods: Thelaiosis, to help her rule the kingdom of Teos Epeiros. Threemans, one of the Thelaiosisians had suggested to the Goddess that creating two more races, the Nordein and the Dumianas, would dramatically help aid the progression of prosperity in Teos. Soon after, with the help of Threemas, the Nordein and Dumianas were created.
The Nordein, were unfortunately born with deformities and unflattering features that made the Goddess deem them failures. She cast them back into the soil to be forgotten. Learning from the previous mistake of creating a race without a vision, the Dumianas were made in likeness of the Goddess with the Thelaiosisian's loyalty and virtue. All lived and prospered in harmony and worshipped the Goddess.
In time, the Dumianas developed strength. The Goddess gave them the gift of intelligence and knowledge, not knowing that such blessings would eventually foster ambitions, doubts, and growing disrespect and denial of her authority. The Dumianas eventually rebelled and started a war that lasted for 7 years.

As she fell, her tormented soul shattered and was torn into two halves.

Upon her death, the land shook and the sky darkened as the living things throughout the world of Shaiya were quickly devoured into the soil as if to wash away the sins her subjects had committed.
A majority of Teos Eperios' land and inhabitants were destroyed. Fate allowed Proton and Eustatin, two remaining Dumianas, to survive and rebuild the lands. They hid themselves deep in Mount Aspeleia and lived together happily for years.

One day, Eustatin found out that she was pregnant. Alone in this world, scared, and confused about what to do next, Proton responded harshly and opted to take separate paths. Proton migrated to the north while Eustatin moved to the south.
In the South, Eustatsin lived in solitude and gave birth to a healthy son. Almost as if she was holding out until her son could fend for himself, she mysteriously died when he reached adulthood. The cremation fire burned for 100 days, fostered only by the resentments and hatred toward Proton. Even in cremation, to spare her son the anguish of living alone, Eustatin's motherly soul created a young woman from her ashes to share a life with her son. They became the ancestors of the Vail race, but still carried much of the resentment of the past.
For Proton, his life remained haunted by the actions taken by the Dumianas toward the Goddess Etaine as well as his own actions of abandoning the love of his life. In his loneliness, he created a statue in the image of the Eustatin in a tree. One day, the wooden figurine turned into a living woman in resemblance of Eustatin. Infused with the blood of the Earthen Goddess and Proton, they became the founders of the Elven race.

For five hundred years, the two races of Vail and Elves lived separately, unknowing of each others existence. As their races developed and progressed, they expanded their realms coming into contact with one another. The meetings were never cordial. The Vail pushed Northward while the Elf pushed Southward. Many battles were lost and won on both sides, but neither side could advance beyond the Fluvious River.

As for Etaine (once the Goddess of Etaine and now the Goddess of Shaiya), her body vanished with her death, but her soul remained divided in half. The division of her active soul created supernatural events that triggered occasional eclipses. When an eclipse happened, the world shook vigorously; the ground cracked wildly, and initiated a monstrous storm. The world of Shaiya virtually came to a halt, and the war between the Vail and the Elves momentarily stopped in fear of the Goddesses' power. On one of the eclipses, between the two oceans, a large island of Etos suddenly appeared and was born into the world of Shaiya. The inhabitants of Etos were of the Human race and came from the dimension of Gaia. After 200 years, the Human population prospered, but the island could not hold them and they were forced to migrate to the mainland of Teos. They soon found the Elves and formed the Alliance of Light.
In that same eclipse, in the Southern land where the Vail existed, the ground cracked open, and the Nordein that were once cast away and existed in the underground solitude, came out of the underworld with an evolved, stronger and larger form: the Deatheaters. Aggrogant, aggressive, and reckless at first, they waged war on both the Human-Elf alliance and the Vail as vengeance for their confinement. When they found themselves on the verge of defeat at the hands of the Human-Elf alliance, the Deatheaters were rescued by the Vail who aspired to create an force against the Alliance of Light, founding the Union of Fury.
Here our story begins...
Some of the features you can look forward to seeing in Shaiya:
- 1500 vs 1500 - The ultimate Realm vs. Realm combat.
- Bootleggery - Sell items to the opposing faction in the secret warehouse.
- Challenges - Sick of someone's trash talk? Request a battle with a member of your own realm.
- Arena Fights - Enter the grand arena and take your fight to a new level.
- Goddess Blessing - Crushing the enemy doesn't just feel good, but it helps your side.
- Guild Events - Guild vs. Guild combat, Guild vs. Monster combat, and the upcoming Willows Trial!
- Quests, Mounts, Executions, Boss Fights, Dungeons, Demons, Dragons, and more...
The lands divided, there are few places for the Union of Fury (the Vails and the Nordein) and the Alliance of Light (the Elves and the Humans) to meet face to face and do battle. The Borderlands is one such zone. Here, Union can fight against Alliance in small skirmishes or in all-out faction versus faction combat.
In the large battles, strategy is a must. Superior numbers does not guarantee a victory. The Borderlands are teeming with monsters that want nothing more than to destroy any invaders. Besides these monsters, the battle is affected by relics on each side. Both the Alliance and the Union have battlements that target the opponent. These relics can be destroyed and should be considered when formulating your attack and defense strategies.
The side that inflicts the most damage will win the day and the blessing of their Goddess.

Each side of the war seeks the Blessing of their Goddess. The Goddess Blessing is one of the most unique characteristics of Shaiya. Points for the Goddess Blessing are awarded when you slay a member of the opposing faction, or when you destroy an enemy relic. The Goddess Blessing is bestowed upon not only you, but will affect the whole Realm. The blessing has a multitude of positive effects on you and your faction.
Here are Some of the Benefits of Goddess Blessing
1. Increased success rate for upgrading weapons.2. Increase in attack power.
3. Increase of maximum HP, MP, SP.
4. Increase of HP, MP, SP restoration during rest.
5. Increase of MP, SP power restoration during the major battle.
6. Increase of Magic Attacking Power.
7. Increase of Defending Power (physical, shooting, magic).
8. Reduced experience value loss during resurrection.
9. Reduced repair costs of damaged equipment.
10. Reduce cool-down time when consuming items.
There are 4 modes to choose from when playing Shaiya. When you first begin playing, only Easy and Normal modes will be available. Once you have reached level 40 in Normal mode, Hard mode becomes available. After reaching level 40 in Hard mode, Ultimate becomes available.
Easy Mode - Think of Easy mode as a tutorial. Leveling is fast as little XP (experience points) is needed to progress. However, Easy mode is capped at level 30, you cannot join nor create a guild in Easy mode, and the Special Skills in classes are not available. You are also unable to use items labeled Dread, Legend, or Goddess. You gain 5 Stat points (to increase your basic character attributes) and 3 Skill Points (to gain new skills or increase current skills) per level while in Easy mode.
Normal Mode - Normal mode is where most players will begin. You need more experience to gain levels than in Easy, but the level cap is removed. You are able to use all items usable in Easy mode, plus you are able to use Dread items. You gain the same Stat and skill points as in Easy mode; 5 Stat and 3 Skill per level.
Hard Mode - You will need more experience than you did in Normal to gain levels, but the rewards are also greater. You can use all the items you could in Normal, but now you can also use Legend items. You gain 7 Stat points and 4 Skill points per level.
Ultimate Mode - The pinnacle of power is Ultimate Mode. Gaining levels takes skill and patience. Your increased stat and skill points here will make your character the most powerful possible: 9 Stat points and 5 Skill points per level. You can use all items in the game, including the devastating Goddess weapons. However, this power comes at a cost: if your character dies, you have only 3 minutes to be resurrected... or your character is deleted and you must start all over.
Here are some pics from ingame and in my next blog i will go a bit detailed about the classes, weapons, items, etc....

Stone Age 2

Long ago, before the age of stone we know so well, was the world caught up in an Ice Age that left everything covered with a freezing frost? Was it instead an age of fire, with twisting rivers of lava coursing like veins through the barren land? Or…was it something completely different?
StoneAge 2 takes us back to an age when humans lived alongside the realm of spirits, and walked in the shadows of towering dinosaurs. Using the power of the spirits, humans learned how to predict the weather, be forewarned of danger, and call mighty dinosaurs to be their allies. There are even those who took dinosaurs as pets, raising them in their own homes as family.
In time, some dinosaurs learned how to understand human speech and express their own feelings in words. No sooner had they learned how to talk than they became as chatty as any human, sending secret messages to their owners from time to time.
Although humans banded together to create a better lifestyle, nature remains a savage force, unleashing its power through storms, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. These natural forces shaped the terrain, altering the layouts of dungeons and turning vast fields into arid desert scrubland. But when a great number of people gather in the same place, they can exert their force on nature, changing barren wastes into fields of flowers and even sometimes receiving strange gifts sent down from the sky.
Within the wide world, it is known that each person has a destined partner, bound soul-to-soul by the power of the Stone of Fate. Those who discover the Stone of Fate will see their future partner on their map, and when they find their partner, the Stone will grant them a new power, enabling them to gather more strong allies and battle harsher foes.
This is an ancient world of stone and legend, where around blazing fires, tales are told of phantom flowers that never blossom, places where the moon never waxes, and a legendary treasure guarded by a fearsome pterosaur.
What adventures await beyond the rainbow on the horizon, unfurling in the soft blue sky after the raging storm has passed? Crawl out of that cave, find your destined partner, sharpen your flint spear, and head out on a new adventure in a world where dinosaurs are still kings. -Wiki





Pi Story

In the days where nothing existed in the great abyss, the gods created a giant egg. From the egg came forth a new world filled with humans and a multitude of small spirits and demi- gods which ruled this world. This great egg and the origin of all birth was called ‘Pi.’
The Human race was protected from the dangers of the outside world, and a seemingly endless peace existed in the air.
Many, many years passed. Through birth and rebirth, humans began to grow in size and numbers. Once the world had seemed so large, but now there was not enough room for everyone, or so it seemed. The land was divided into countless territories that arose from the constant bickering and disagreement, and even the demi-gods began to fight amongst themselves for power.
Strong as it was, Pi was no match for all the negativity and violence that it contained, and the egg shattered into many pieces. Its destruction led to a scattering of the human race, and a world of chaos and confusion emerged, a world where even time, space, and dimension were not in harmony.
Although the gods regretted their actions, it was too little too late. The great gods could not piece the world back together. They sent forth their apostles Edda and Eddain in search of the one person who could unite the broken pieces of Pi.






Cronous

The Story of Cronous
3 Gods of Cronous
Lapis : He possessed a strange orb of flame, and spread the force of love and kinship in the world of Cronous. Later, he would carve out the heart of Maquapel at the end of the bloody war and seal it within is body. At that time, the cry of Maquapel shook the entire continent and the land surged up, causing the deaths of countless people. After that, Lapis sealed his own body in Leto Island, located on the northern tip of the continent.
Exiliss : He had a water orb, and he was known to spread calmness in the people of CRONOUS by using the power of water. During the war against Maquapel, he neutralized poison of Maquapel using his orb, but he himself was poisoned. He, by holding Maquapel by his arms and sacrificing himself with him, finally ended the war.
After Lapis carved out the heart of Maquapel, he took the heartless body of Maquapel
to the southern tip of the continent, the Uranus, and sealed it with himself.
He possessed an orb of water, and spread calmness to all people in Cronous via the power of water. During the war against Maquapel, he neutralized Maquapel's poison using his orb, but eventually became poisoned himself. He brought an end to the war by holding Maquapel in his arms and sacrificing both of them.
After Lapis carved out Maquapel's heart, he took the heartless body of Maquapel to the southern tip of the continent, the Uranus, and sealed it there with Exiliss.
Coellis : Possessor of a lightning orb, Coellis was known to punish betrayers in the world of Cronous. Of the 3 gods, it is said he was the first to notice Maquapel's schemes and tried to stop him. During the 3 gods' war against Maquapel, he used a great bolt of lightning to stop Maquapel for a short time, during which Exiliss and Lapis sealed Maquapel. He has protected Cronous alone since Lapis and Exiliss passed on. Later, the people of Cronous built a shrine for him, and he became the most beloved among the 3 gods.
Alien God
Maquapel : He came to Cronous from an unknown alien land during the Hallowed Day - a day on which the gates of time and space are opened once every 2,000 years. He possessed an energy stone called Primodium, an alien power, and this power became the cause of the "Tartanos War" which would shake the world of Cronous as he used his power over poison to corrupt the beauty of Cronous into his own form. Later, at the war's end, Exiliss sealed his body and Lapis sealed his heart, but Maquapel's followers and the power of Primodium remained to cause chaos in the world of Cronous.
Scape : It is known that Scape originally came to the continent from the alien land with Maquapel on that fateful Hallowed Day. Unlike Maquapel, Scape had no desire to conquer Cronous - he wished to live on the continent peacefully. Therefore, he didn't help Maquapel; instead, he ended up helping Lapis, Exiliss, and Coellis to seal Maquapel. However, it is unknown exactly how he helped them. After the war, he sealed himself in his own inner-space, Laputa, keeping all his secrets to himself.
Later historians called him the "Observer," because he is believed to be watching over everything even now, even though there are not many traces of or stories about him.
The 1st Hallowed Day and the Formation of Arkmodeum
An alien visitor came to the peaceful and beautiful world of Cronous. The name of this visitor was Maquapel. The three gods who protected Cronous peacefully welcomed this visitor, but Maquapel was possessed by a desire to make their world his own. A fierce war broke out, pitting three three gods of Cronous against the alien deity. The war seemed to be won by the three gods, through the sacrifices of Lapis and Exiliss. However, Maquapel's followers, the Arkmodeum, remained in Cronous. These people studied the mysterious power of Primodium, which Maquapel had left behind. Eventuelly, then even made a new power which would surprise Maquapel.
The five leaders of Arkmodeum, Asmorel, Berkiel, Tauriel, Jakiel, and Matariel, plotted to revive Maquapel using the mysterious power of Primodium to catalyze the source of life and revive the dead. These five leaders were also altered as they drew near to the power of Primodium, spawning in each of them a formidable power. To check the power of the Arkmodeum's leaders, each religious body in Cronous contributed to a united organization, "Oracle," tasked with protecting Cronous. Not long after, war broke out between Arkmodeum and Oracle.
The Second Hallowed Day and the Tartanos War
The time of the second Hallowed Day marked a turning point in the history of Cronous. Like Maquapel and Scape before, a new kind of god descended to Cronous during the Second Hallowed Day. The people called them "Alienus," and the three Alienus gods - Lewius, Baldeus, and Concilus - tried to find Maquapel, but he had already been sealed long ago. The three bore hostile intent toward Maquapel, though no one could guess the reason, and in Maquapel's absence, they turned their ire toward Maquapel's followers, the Arkmodeum. Therefore, they lent their aid to Oracle, who strove at all times to check the power of Arkmodeum. With the Alienus gods' power, Oracle had a power stronger than Primodeum. This was the beginning of the Coellis Sect, a religious body.
The Alienus deities began to wage war against the 5 leaders of Arkmodeum. The 5 leaders of Arkmodeum, given power by the Primodium, were evenly matched with the three gods of Alienus. It was a battle between gods and people who had power like a god's. When 4 of the 5 leaders of Arkmodeum were slain leaving Asmorel as the only survivor, it seemed as though the gods of Alienus had claimed total victory. However, the alien gods had spent all of their power in the war, so they couldn't stop Asmorel as he began to revive the four fallen leaders by the power of Primodium. The Alienus gods and the Coellis Sect did their best to stop Asmorel, but they were unable to prevent the resurrection of the 5 leaders of Arkmodeum. This is how the Tartanos War - the most chaotic conflict in the history of Cronous - was begun.
The Prelude of Truth
It's meaningless to judge which one is the truth and which one is the lie. The only thing that matters is to wipe out the enemy that you see. At the end of Tartanos war, another uninvited being came to the CRONOUS. It was called Sidus, and whatever the reason was, it supported Arkmodeum which was collapsing due to the loss of 5 leaders. It tried to revive 5 leaders? Asmorel, Berkiel, Tauriel, Jakiel, and Matariel.
The Coellis sect, who believed in their victory, were confused at the sudden appearance of Sidus and lost their way. In the castle, which was the center of the CRONOUS continent, there were so many kinds of monsters that did not belong to this
world. People were confused and the enemies would come to the castle at any time. However we can be relieved thanks to you. Now who will be the warrior to bring peace and stability to CRONOUS and to find the truth?

DOMO - Dream Of Mirror Online

Based on ancient Chinese mythology, the world of Dream of Mirror Online exists as an alternate reality inside the "Kunlun Mirror," a sacred artifact. According to the legends, the world we know was born from the Kunlun Mirror, and the mirror contains the power to destroy the world as well.
The Kunlun Mirror was originally created to record everything in the world. It reflects the real world and saves a copy of everything within itself. This copy is known as the Kunlun Mirror world. Time does not exist in the Kunlun Mirror world, only in perceptible signs like sunrise and sunset, and the seasons. The caretakers of the Kunlun Mirror world, the Twelve Mirror Kings, are responsible for guarding and overseeing the Kunlun Mirror world.
Nobody knows when it happened, but at some point in the past, the Kunlun Mirror lost some of its clarity, making it unable to precisely reflect reality. Adding to this trouble is the fact that some of the Mirror Kings have disappeared as well. It is thought that the reason behind these problems is due to the delusions and uncertainties plaguing human beings in the real world. When those "delusions" were reflected in the Kunlun Mirror, they gained physical representations as a variety of odd lifeforms and interfered with the normal operation of the Kunlun Mirror world.
To solve the crisis of the mirror, the remaining Mirror Kings began calling human beings from the real world into the Kunlun Mirror to assist in dealing with the problems created by the distortions of the human mind. Each player has been called to help intervene in the mysteries of the Mirror World.
Since the "delusions" from the real world have turned into dangerous monsters and ghosts in the Mirror World, the Mirror Kings have used their powers to guarantee that the real world visitors cannot truly die while in the Mirror world. Each visitor is "born" into the Mirror World in a new form befitting the new world, ready to explore and adventure to their heart's content!
And a great video for this great game:
