Developed by Gigassoft, published by the infamous Aeria Games, and drawing its roots from middle-age China – Twelve Sky is an MMO built from the ground up with high intentions for a thriving community. Players can expect to take part in fast-paced and furious PvP engagements using one of three uniquely designed classes, and can individually develop their skills and weapons to their personal liking – while still enjoying the many luxuries that come hand-in-hand with a fantasy themed MMORPG like questing and slaying monsters for loot and glory!

Twelve Sky is an MMORPG that is extremely difficult to "get into" as leveling is slow and quests are uninspiring. Start off by choosing one of the three available factions; Jinong, Fujin and Guanyin. The faction you select basically determines what class you are, as each faction has its own advantages and disadvantages. When you first begin playing, experience gain is ridiculously fast, an you''l soon find that you can get level 12 in under 10 minutes. Level 14-20 on the other hand, will take closer to 3 hours. And at level 15 it seems almost like you hit a brick wall, with the experience gain coming to a complete halt. Why the developers choose to make the experience gain so inconsistent is beyond me, as it draws much from the immersion and overall flow of the game.

Look on the bright side

On a more positive note, the publishers of Twelve Sky are always actively involved in game events and updates. Every holiday, you can bet that the folks over at Aeria Games are working to create an in game event for that specific holiday, whether it's bonus experience or fun new quests. Twelve Sky also has daily events which range from "bunny races" to "no experience penalty" depending on which day of the week it is. Other game publishers should definitely take note of this, as daily events are a great way to keep players hooked, and are certainly an enjoyable addition to the game. I applaud Aeriagames for their active involvement with the game's community.
