After three days of hardcore testing Dragon Nest Online I have quite a bit to say about the game. Dragon Nest Online maybe a new type of game but it feels like you have been there and done that if you have played games similar to it. My closed beta experience did however, leave me very satisfied compared to my previous other CBT games that I have tested in the previous months. No pictures just videos in this review!

Controls
The controls are as good as they get in my opinion. W A S D to move around, TAB key to switch between battle mode stance, 1-0 for your hotkey bar, left click mouse for primary attack, right click for secondary, and spacebar to jump. Takes like a minute to get used to the controls, then you should be all set. You can tap any of the directional keys twice to dash/teleport to that direction, which can be very useful in large scale battles. When you aren't in battle mode stance your character runs faster so most people usually stow their weapon away if they are running great distances. If you have a lot of mana to spare you can just spam dash to your desired location which is a little bit faster than running with your weapon sheathed.

Graphics
Eyedentity Games did a really good job with the camera perspective blurring ingame. If you zoom in to close to your character it will have a blurry non focus effect. The same effect is also applied to objects and areas that are very close or far away. On top of that they also added real time weather and days so your dungeon experience won't always be the same old boring day ingame. There are times when it would rain through out rooms and a dungeon. Then there are times when the maps and dungeons are looking very bright and beautiful due to the extreme heat of the in-game Sun causing everything in the area to have a bloom effect. Sometimes the game would look really dull due to bad weather but they are working on this hopefully. For a game in CBT1 phase Dragon Nest Online is looking very promising graphics wise.

Pretty stupid how some people call this a WOW clone. I certainly understand that WOW is big in the US as the US have not evolved in the future mmo genre but do
understand that the art styles of Tera, Lineage 2, ZerA are very similar because it's KOREAN MODERN CONCEPT ART (fit in your head) just like WOW has very weird art styles, asians go for a very commercial and attractive look. I look forward to playing Tera since the gameplay looks wicked and the UI is plain and simple. If you are not into korean MMOs and only support games such as WOW then don't play. Though I'm sure TerA will set fire just like Blade & Soul will.
WoW is EQ clone its a fact do ur research if u think its not. And wow WAS the "shit" pre bc. Onyxia, Molten Core, BWL NAxxx 40 man raids were the BEST which made WOW the BEST MMORPG but since BC came it became a grindfest then blizzard decided 2 nerf the name 2 the ground ( no req to get into hyjal or black temple ) and now they just nerf'd the shit outa ulduar so GG blizzard 4 killing a great MMO but its not their fault its the QQing noobs that think game was 2 hard to play. Anyway Guild Wars 2 will kill WoW 
Facebook, haha. Is that what Sony really thinks? Sorry, but they are wrong. Of course WoW will *eventually* be dwarfed by *something*. Game technology keeps evolving, graphics, gameplay, etc. One day it will be taken over by something. But not by a Facebook MMO. I'm sure that someone at Sony has a daughter that is like "All my friends and I are on Facebook!" and that affects their thinking, but the reality is, that isn't the lauchpad for the next big thing, just because it is a social place and you already have an account. You can make an account at a new game within 60 seconds, it's not a big deal to do so. It doesn't have to be somewhere you already have accounts. Plus, you are using Facebook for different reasons than to play games. There are a billion people there that have no interest in MMO's. Are Sony exects that ignorant?
Its so good to live in 2009. Some online games have really good graphics and psp games are also getting better this year(I have the psp (hahahaha!!!!))
Happy happy birthday MMOsite!
a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.
