You wanted reviews, you got reviews. But only for classic playerworlds for now
What’s it all about:
In the words of the manager “Having fun with mild role playing”. So Maloria will be a great playerworld for those who like role playing and those who don’t know much about it as it won’t be compulsory or forced upon you with strict rules.
For those who played Maloria before you will remember the Nation islands being on the left and right of the main island, this is still here but instead of picking a nation at the start you must speak to the leader of that Nation (The Queen/King) to become a recruit for that Nation.
First impressions:
From the start level you can see quite a few interesting features that are built into Maloria. Probably the most noticeable feature is a 'sim like' icon above your head, which lets other players know your current Health, by changing colour and rotating over your head you will easily be able to see peoples health with no problems at all.
Secondly you will notice the GUI which is a great way of organizing all of your items and weapons so everything you need is in one place, and allows you to select any weapon or item with either the keyboard or the mouse.
Levels:
When you head outside you will notice that the MAP is different to a normal map, and offers a guide to you while still being able to see what is happening around you at the same time, by being transparent and not full screen.
The levels are great and work great with this ‘Classic’ style playerworld. While some detail at times can look lacking it is made up for by the great houses and other objects that fill the levels.
Maloria uses lights well to compliment the level detail. The inside levels have lights in the mostly, which works well when the houses or areas are dark as the lights illuminates parts allowing you to see when you wouldn’t be able to without them.
Quests:
Because there are already many other things to do on Maloria such as role playing in nations, events, jobs and items there is currently only one quest, but more will be added at a later date.
The quest they have is great and not straight forward, in the sense that you will not just do it in a matter of seconds, which makes it good.
Jobs:
A selection of jobs such as Fishing, Baking and Mining will allow you to have fun while making money. And the jobs require you to think because if you rush the job or hit in the same place all of the time, for example, it will decrease the quality of the final product. So with a selection of jobs to choose from it shouldn’t be a tedious process to make money for those items.
Fun things:
As well as the fun that the players can create their selves from Role Playing this server has a lot of fun events from horse races, laser wars, slide ‘n’ dive and others to play with. So if you like a race, action or a team game then there is lots to keep you amused with.
