LOKHEED  Feels like some poor attempt at scamming cash off RPG fans who are almost legally blind (when it comes out of "beta testing"). I say legally blind, because that is what you would have to be to swallow these graphics.

No matter what a game has, if it falls flat in the graphic department, it simply falls flat.

This "game" is a sad attempt by a team who doesn't even know the meaning of QA. Sure the game runs (not very well), but looks just too damn awful to even touch. I suspect that 95% of these guys' potential user base will recoil at the very sight of the screenshot!

Nothing to see here folks, nothing to see AT ALL!  (Version 52702)

LOREKBATAI  this game is awful, poor graphics and an uncaring community. you don't have to look around to find better.

graphics aren't retro, they're lazy. if only there was a '0' for graphics ratings.  (Version 52301)

JEAN-LOUP  This was my 2nd MMORPG. Testing other more technically sophisticated games, with big 3D/sounds effects does not make me change.

There is place for both kinds. Even without big effects, graphics and sounds are very cute, with a nice sens of humor.

Features are good and can only be more rich in the future. The playablity with macros is great, you just need to familiarize with its language (many help sources available as it's the same as his Clan Lord brother ;-))

Stability is very good too.

Last but not least, you will have great fun in your future community. All personalities are present, good, bad, neutral, evil… It's up to you to make friends and start hunting in the fabulous Arindal World

PNEUSTOS  Although Arindal is a Eoropean version of ClanLord (engine licensed from Delta Tao), it is a totally new experience for any who have played ClanLord. Although by license agreements with Delta Tao, the in game messages can only be in French, German, or Dutch, most players speak English and it is used as a "common language" for hunts, meetings with the development team, etc.

Very much a social game, with no player vs player, and all hopefully united to battle the neverending monsters and beasts which invade all parts of the land. Role playing is enforced, but there is an area where players can speak freely on any subject including out of character topics. It's also an excellent place to hone language skills. I speak English natively, but also getting a re-education for French and British, and quickly learning German and some Dutch. All ages participate, so attention to sensitive issues may be necessary.

Arindal may not have the 3D graphics many have come to like in other online games, but is constantly evolving and is expected to go commercial by year's end (December, 2007). With some funds coming in (expected cost 10 euros/month), there should be even more events, quests, and new areas. It's a never ending adventure.

I encourage all to try it, even those who speak only English. The game server and clients (available in English, German, and French localized versions) have been very stable, and run on Windows, Mac, or even Linux with a Java client, though I have heard of some problems with it.  (Version 50801)
