Description
Get ready for a whole new look at massively multiplayer online games! Shining Lore is a new 3D game developed without the darkness, death and solemnity of traditional MMORPG games. The Shining Lore world features bright colors and adorable creatures. This game was created for hardcore gamers and novices of any gender or age group. The fun begins with the game’s avatar system, where players can choose from hundreds of thousands of different character combinations to invent unique characters with a style that is all their own. Character appearance is fully customizable. Players may choose their gender, and select from various face, hair, shirt, pants, glove and shoe options. Gamers may also accessorize their characters with necklaces, rings and other ornamentation. Shining Lore’s party and guild system has been constantly improved by beefing up the game’s job segmentation, quests, mini-games, chat functions, and community activities, all of which add up to make Shining Lore even more alluring. When creating your character, you can choose from 4 professions: fighter, magician, ranger, or alchemist, similar to other fantasy role playing games (RPGs). The job system is segmented according to player level, making a wide range of skills available to the player, according to his or her respective level. Since a partial change in the profession of choice is allowed, users can choose from up to over thirty different professions. The game’s diverse arsenal of special effects offered in full 3D are striking, giving players all the action and combat animations of a console game. Although Shining Lore has a more innocent look than other MMORPGs, it still has a satisfying combat system. The dynamic animations of the characters and the special effects make for a very gratifying gameplay experience. Players can hunt alone, or group with others using Shining Lore’s party system. Either way, beware, the monsters may be cute, but they offer as much challenge as they do entertainment! Shining Lore represents a new concept in online games, which offers countless variations in character style selection for its players. Shining Lore is enjoyable without being repetitive or boring. Gamers can trek through the world in search of adventure and companionship, hunt monsters, or enjoy a number of charming mini-games. Players can do many things besides hunt, from going to the hair salon to chatting with friends through an exclusive messenger system. The game offers various quests and events, and supports a balanced party and guild system, a great benefit of an RPG. In traditional online games, players have to hunt to pay for certain clothes or equipment – in Shining Lore players can create clothes, equipment, and one-of-a-kind items. Leave behind the typical grim medieval world and enjoy the imaginative world of Shining Lore!
