Regnum Online

Let me start this review with a simple statement. Regnum Online is a rare rare thing; an MMO, indeed a MMORPG which is a) free and b) not shit.

The basic gist of the game is familiar, you play a either an 'Archer' a 'Mage' or a 'Warrior', you can complete quests, train new skills, progress in levels and generally become all round bad ass. There are also the customary selection of races; Elves, Dwarfs etc etc, some of which are specific the three kingdoms which make up the game map along side, and here is where it gets interesting, the "No Mans Land" between them.

It's here that Regnum becomes more than just another Online RPG and something of a "Kingdom Death Match" game. You see, you can't kill players from your own selected kingdom. You must instead rage vicious and largely Spanish (the primary language of the game) cyber war on the other two kingdoms in the no mans land. You can capture forts and the like in the no mans land but the basic rule is that no one controls it - it's a 24/7 medieval capture the flag game. This is something I like a lot.

The usual suspects... apart from the goat thing. We dunno what that is.

There game has other features; including some content you can pay for (notably Horses need to be hired with featured game credit - you never 'need' a horse, they just make moving from A-B somewhat quicker) and what I consider to be a very nice atmosphere.

The game interface is also pretty spiffing.

Summary

A good free online game. Has the feel of something you'd have paid for a few years back. Nice people, albeit largely populated by Spanish speakers. Great fun without the time and investment needed by a lot of RPG games these days.
