Priston Tale: Ultimate Force



I never thought I would play Priston Tale again, but Hobbes somehow managed to persuade me into it. I even had to borrow a payment coupon from Kraazg cos' the one I had tucked away for six months had somehow expired. I downloaded the game, which now clocked at a massive 700+MB intead of the old 300+MB. It is now in its 3rd major revision; its subtitle is no longer PT: Age of Renaissance as I knew from many months ago, but now PT: Ultimate Force.

The changes were great and very significant. The average level of the community is now in the level 70s, rendering all level 55 & below equipment worthless. I found it funny NPCing stuff that I once spent my entire fortune to buy. I guess it is better for everyone this way. 3rd-Tier jobs are out, which made it very refreshing to play my Knight again. I am in love with the new 'Grand Cross' move, as depicted in all my screenies of it from many angles. And of course, there are other tons of typical new MMORPG changes (character balancing, new maps, new events, etc).

At first I thought I would just play to check out the new changes, but after one day, I found myself hooked again. It was the game's fast-paced battles and super-difficult enemies that reminded me why I was addicted last time. I felt that same adrenaline rush all over again and my fingers were tired after every gaming session. I guess I can now carry on my unfinished dream of reaching lv 70 (though now it is no longer a groundbreaking achievement that makes everyone look up to you).

I partied with Kraazg, and it was a lot of fun. As for Hobbes, I haven't seen him online yet even though he was the root of all this.

Now I have Maple Story and Priston Tale to keep myself occupied. wee.
