Today I am going to look at 12sky online.
If your into the ninja scene, then this MMO is for you. Twelve Sky is an oriental style, martial arts based Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). Located in ancient China, Twelve Sky puts players in the middle of an age old conflict between three warring factions. Choose your side in a quest for honor and power. Wage a never ending battle to obtain ancient holy relics that will help destroy all that oppose you.
Features
* - Natural martial arts movements using motion capture technology
* - Robust large-scale fast-paced Player vs. Player (PvP) battle system
* - A large variety of authentic weapons and thousands of unique items
* - Elaborate weapon and armor enhancing system
* - Regularly updated content
* - Exclusive abilities never before seen in any MMORPG
Battle System
The game features a battle system that is both solo and party friendly. Monsters are easier to defeat than in most MMORPG's which gives the player more opportunities to explore instead of just grinding. When you do spend time fighting Non-playing Characters (NPCs), there are a few features that make things a little more interesting. One is the 'Parts System' that allows your character to hit the upper, middle, and lower body parts of enemies resulting in different death animations. After you get some fighting practice in, heads will definitely roll. I do occasionally enjoy beheading my enemy in a single blow. ^-^
Player vs. Player (PvP)
The game is designed around making an intense PvP experience for players. When you create a character, you swear allegiance to a clan, and you must do everything in your power to expand its power. This generally means joining the various clan battles constantly raging across the land. Be careful though, even if your clan is beating another in battle, a third clan may take you by surprise. The game also gives you one on one battles which I enjoy
Skills
The battle system is based around the mastery of various martial art skills. Skill points are earned after each new level, which can be used to learn new moves or master the ones you have. Not all skills are based on combat. Like a ninja, you must learn to leap from rooftop to rooftop to avoid detection, or cross chasms to reach advanced areas. It will take more than brawn to fulfill your destiny.
Heavenly Deities Destructive War
1) War over Holy Seals
The Cheon religion is thought to have settled among ascetic truth seekers one hundred years ago. These people regarded austere self-discipline as the true path to enlightenment, thus the religion was a natural fit. However, as stagnant water goes rotten, a religion is likely to deviate from the original teachings.
Once the first leader past away, a great conflict began over who should be his successor. This led to a war between the twelve High Monks, which finally resulted in their self destruction. In essence, it was the war over the Twelve Heavenly Deities' Power Seals. Their holy scriptures
foretold that the power of the Twelve Heavenly Deities could be mastered only by those who collected all the Seals.
To be the leader of the religion, one had to collect the Twelve Heavenly Deities' Power Seals. In other words, he needed the consent of the twelve High Monks.
Cheonjin, the sixth leader of the religion had only six Seals, because the other six High Monks did not accept the unprecedented patrilineal descent of leadership. This was how the fierce war was started to collect the twelve Seals between the two factions of High Monks.
After thirty years of internal strife, one of the High Monks named Mirok succeeded in acquiring the twelve Seals. However, the conflict had torn an irreversible rift between the sects. Apprehensive of his newfound power, Mirok hid the Seals and retreated to the mountains to live as a hermit.
This is what was contained in records of Cheon found by an ambitious faction leader many years later, the world of warriors was engaged again in a bloody war. It came to be called the Era of Heavenly Deities' Destructive War.
The Seals, holy objects of great power, were rumored to turn the tides of wars between men and demons or even between the gods themselves. Their unimaginable power has been sealed away by the twelve High Monks and hidden out of fear of their misuse.
SO Here are my results
