Website: http://www.flysis.com
Cost: F2P + item Mall
Status: Available [Closed Beta] (But can play as long as u registered, Char wipe will happen in the ater future.)

Well i decided 2 continue playing shaiya til i reach lvl 10.

All i can say is it is a pretty amazing game
Guess ill try and add my review 2 the thread

Graphix
as far as graphix on a free game goes its not bad.Detailed weapons,NPCs and monsters r amazing as far as i went of course .Skills look amazing ranging from a sexy uppercut attck 2 some weird fireball attck thing.Unfortunately i didnt rly like the graphix style so much but i wont be bias 4 those who do
-8.5/10

Gameplay
Fast lvling and alot of quests.A large variety of skills each character can learn and ull get most of em at the beginning.Pvp and Pve isnt bad but i didnt rly like the fact that if u were defeated in a duel u die and have 2 teleport 2 town or wait 4 a priest.There r 2 factions with 2 diff races 4 each one.The light side(or w/e its called)has the races of humans and elves while the dark side has races called vails and death eaters.There is a sort of arena area allowing both factions 2 enter and fight one another and u can enter at lvl 1(though i wouldnt >.<).i beleive they have mounts and stuff later on in the game.
-9/10

Sound
Err i dont rly listen 2 the sound so i cant judge lol
-N/A

Community
Not a bad community as many ppl ive met r quite friendly and english speakers.Shouting out in a sort of global chat usual u will get your questions answered in less than a few secs.However i noticed in the chat there is one gold seller spamming but so far have seen no botters.
-8.5/10

Overall
A pretty good game worth a shot 4 any casual or hardcore gamer
-8/10

Hoped i helped ^^

[UPDATED]
Added Flysis, and Shaiya review

Well I've also just started playing Shaiya, and so far I am really enjoying it.

The graphics are quite nice, not as good as other games, but they really look good for a F2P game...
So considering that, i'll give it an 8/10.

The gameplay is top notch IMO, When first starting off you're overloaded with quests, and you will be able to level up entirely off quests alone until level 17 at least. Unlike Silkroad, the quests on this game actually have a goal and a plot to them and can offer some fantastic rewards depending on their difficulty, So you won't have to expect to kill 1000 plants for no reason along with a measely reward.
A few features that stand out on this game ~
- There are 2 sides, Alliance of light, and Union of Fury... Both sides have their own land to train on where the other side cannot enter, However there are seperated maps called the Borderlands, with both sides allowed to enter and fight against eachother.. If you think this idea is pointless for the lower levels, I gotta say it really isn't as these Borderlands have different set level limits on them, for example.. The Delphinian Fortress is only available for levels 1 - 15, another fortress only allowing levels 15-20, and another one only allowing levels 20-30 (I think you kinda get the point). In the borderlands you have a chance of losing equipment and such, so be careful.
- Way of movement can either by Point and Click or W.A.S.D controls, You can also Jump and swim. And Jumping can become very handy in this game, as you can dodge attacks using it.
- Huge lands, and plenty of maps and dungeons to explore. I myself just explored the Cornwell ruin dungeon today, as it is fit for under level 20's {I am level 19}, but has a level limit so levels 35+ cannot enter, which is good for those lower levels that want to kill the Cornwell ruin boss Asmo.
- Grinding and PVP actually take skill, as mentioned above Jumping can be a sneaky technique to dodge attacks (forgot to mention you can also jump sideways and backwards), and each class plays a special role.
- Different Modes of play, Easy, Medium, Hard and Ultimate. Easy is only able to reach level 30 and has limited skills available but has very fast leveling rate. Medium is the standard difficulty used, able to reach level 50, once level 50 will be able to switch to hard mode, and eventually Ultimate mode, each mode has their advantages, but the tougher difficulty you choose the more powerful your char will be.

There are alot of other nice and unique features in this game, but I'll let those who are interested find out for themselves =), I'll give this games gamplay a 9.5/10.

Sound is not really something I pay attention to, so I can't really rate that.

Community is by far the best gaming community I have come across, I have seen not one bot since I started playing this game, everyone I see wants to party up with me, and every priest that passes me randomly buffs me up for no reason at all, above all that, GM's are always present so if you have a problem, you can report it to them and expect a fast reply.
I'm giving this a 10/10.

Overall, well I mentioned most of the nice features above, but I don't know much of the game myself as I am just a measely level 19 Mage . But so far I am really enjoying it so I think this game deserves a 9/10 overall.

BTW, for all those interested, don't judge the game until you reach at least level 10, I found it difficult to start with, but have adapted really well.

Erm, how are the skill aimations on that game?

sexy looking
though my warrior windspin looks gay >.>

Rohan online Japanese review......


Graphics 8.5 / 10 : The graphics in Rohan are quite nice, The skill animations are colorfull and nicley animated, i had fun just messing around with the looks of my skills/imbues and with the attack animations.
The graphics of the game itself could rival those of the dreadnaughts SRO and Lineage2, and the like on a high end computer.

Gameplay 9/10 : The leveling is very fast to say the least. The quests in game will give you huge boosts, but heck, even if you never do a single quest you'll easily reach 20 by your second day. If you do do quests you could probably reach 20 in a day and a half. Experience comes very easily, and the M.KILL system( see below) makes it even easier. I was easily gaining 3% from lvl 3 mobs at lvl 8., Skills are fun and awesome, Items are inventive and cool looking, And armor is just as nice too look at.
Character customization offers endless possibilites, No two chars are exactly alike. Every level you get 4 points which you can invest intoany of 6 stats.

Community N.A/10: i cant really say, i have only met one english player, but he kicked ass.

Investing 10/10 : Heck, i dont even know if there is an item mall. I saw something about an item mall inventory, but thats it.

Other: A nice tidbit called the M.KILL system helps you level even quicker. Every time you kill a mob your counter goes up by one, every time you kill 20 mobs consecutivley it goes to the next rank, the higher you rank the more multiplied your exp is. And the 20th monster you kill to get the counter up gives you a huge amount of exp.



...........IF ONLY I HAD SOMEONE TO DISCOVER THE GAME WITH *hint*hint* *cough* *cough*

And a little tip to beginners, DO NOT SKIP THE TUTORIALYou might not understand the text but you will easily get to lvl 14, and not to mention that mobs outside drop about 12 gold, akepions in the second training room of the tut dorp 1k EACH it is insane

I'm installing it ATM. Still trying to figure out what I'm going to be

[Fixed the cabal review leading ~~> runescape]
