Review

Do you have what it takes to rule the new world? Explore a new continent while struggling to gain political control! RTS meets RPG in this fantasy MMO. Your body may be in the new world but your blood is of the Old. As the fate of power hangs in the balance, what mark will you make?

Sword 2 is a 3D Fantasy MMORPG with an amazing soundtrack and accompanying visuals that allows you to control three characters simultaneously. Called a ‘family’, these three characters will represent your avatar in Sword 2, as in order to survive in this beautiful, yet dangerous word, you’ll need to manage all three. Previously known as Sword of the New World, Sword 2 combines high-quality sound and visuals with unprecedented innovation to create a truly unforgettable MMORPG experience.

At the beginning of the game you are asked to create your character by choosing from 5 different Classes: Musketeer (ranged dps), Elementalist (caster dps), Fighter (melee dps/tank), Wizard (caster dps/debuffer) and Scout (melee dps/healer). Each class has a variable number of stances – which are a collection of skills – that can be leveled up in much the same way as characters do when they gain enough experience from battle. Depending on the character’s stat point allocation, each class can perform several different functions. As you advance, the storyline of the game unfolds and introduces new characters on your journey. Some of these new characters require your help and eventually you may be able to recruit them into your family. These Unique Playing Characters (UPCs) often have their own special stances and abilities for you to develop. Currently, there are over 45 UPCs available and you can have up to 54 playing characters in your Family. Thus the combinations of characters you can deploy as a team in-game are endless.

While the ability to control three characters simultaneously combined with the high-quality graphics and musical score is more than enough to call Sword 2 one of the most accomplished free-to-play MMORPGs on the market today, that’s really only the beginning. The outcome of this combination provides an innovative MMORPG/MMORTS hybrid that offers a fresh take on everything from combat to questing; however, the Player-vs-Player (PvP) Modes offered in Sword 2 are equally impressive, and range in style dramatically:

Baron Mode
Sword 2 offers two types of game servers - a normal PvE server and a Baron PvP server. While PvP is present on all servers with Sword 2’s Political PvP System, the Baron PvP servers is where most hardcore PvP’ers find themselves playing.  The Baron PvP server allows players to kill any player in-game over level 51. There’s a catch though, doing so will raise your Baron level which can quickly become a problem.  First, you will be relegated to an exile camp called Los Toldos and can no longer interact with NPCs in the major cities. Also, when you are killed by another player you could drop your items.  At moderate Baron levels, the items you could drop are restricted to unequipped gear. However, at high Baron levels even your equipped gear can drop.  While that may be a steep penalty, there is a benefit to being a Baron.  You gain a large bonus to your attack and damage, making it easier to defend yourself against potential threats from other players and monsters.

Political PvP
The game features a Political PvP System where players can run for office and lead one of two Factions - the Republicans or the Royalists. While all players can vote for elected Faction Leaders, only Clans (a group of Families) can ally themselves to a Faction and only Clan leaders can run for office.  When a Clan leader joins a Faction, all players in that Clan are immediately apart of the selected Faction. The elected leader of the Royalist Faction is called the Duke and the elected leader of the Republican Faction is called the President. 

Faction Wars
In Faction Wars, individual clans fight to obtain and retain Colonies located all around the New World.  At the end of Faction Wars, the Faction with the most Colonies is named the Dominate Faction. The Dominate Faction gets a large payment of in-game currency at the end of every month paid directly to the Faction’s elected Leader. That Faction leader of the Dominate Faction, (be it the Duke or the President), will become the Premier. It is expected for the Premiere to divide the winnings out to all players in the Faction. However, there is nothing stopping them from keeping them, so it’s extremely important to pick a leader you trust!

In summary, Sword 2 is an exemplary example of the Free-to-Play MMORPG, and if it isn’t already, should be at the top of every MMORPG player’s to-do list.
