Scarlet Blade - Arkana Base
Getting Started
After character creation, you start here in the Arkana Base (underground, unknown location).

"I want a hologram of my own dammit." |
The big difference in this mmo is that you're not playing the Arkana but you're the
commander who controls the Arkana in battle.
Lota (for Royal Guards), the Mother A.I. that created the Arkana, here a holographic
representation. Sati will be the name for the Free knights.
The story is the same whether you play RG or FK. Just switching the enemy's name
on the quest. A bit lazy on the developers side, but hey, it's free to play (or it's suppose
to be).

You can tell she has a lot of questions in her mind. |

"No we're not. You're more dressed than I am." |
Next you get your weapon for your class.

"It's also my job to not care afterwards." |

"Ok, will you please stop staring at me now?" |
You then use said weapon to kill stuff.

"Bzzz, we are created to be destroyed. Bzzz." |
After that, you are ready to go up the surface.

"I'm not letting off my meds, if that's what you're saying." |
A glimpse of the Arkana Base, You won't be able to go back to this place anymore.
No matter how much you beg or cry.

It's nice of Lota to see you off to your doom. |

"Beam me up, Scottina!" |
A lot of people are accusing this game as pay-to-win, I do agree. But so does every
other mmo's nowadays. Other subscription based games are starting to go to the
free-to-play route, which I'm guessing is much more profitable?
(Why would they chance their business model?)
You can go full f2p, it's just much harder and requires more work. Buying stuff is
just suppose to gear you up faster, which is why you see Aeria Games montly tiers is
filled with rare and unique gears.
But Aeria Games is turning around. It has become a little better. Problems still plague
this game, some exist since Alpha. But overall it shows a sign of improvements.
Play for free with free bike and pet at lvl 10(they're crappy though).Or you can opt
to get a better pet, it's free with the exp boost in the 69 AP store. The best thing is to
get the pet+exp boost and the skill reset code in the store. It's a 2 dollar investment.
Go join a guild, there are a lot of shouts inviting newbies. Then just go from there.
(So you still need to pay something in a f2p game, you said. That is bullshit!)
(Well, you need a computer, internet and electricity to play any game.
And I doubt they're free.)
The important thing in mmo games is to have fun. Yes, even if your 20+guild members
gets wiped out by 5 OP players. Go PVE and do quest with your friends, or go PVP
and coordinate your attacks. Make use of conjoint stun locks and there's no way you
won't be able to take down even a few OPs.

The 69 AP store. Nothing suggestive in that. |
