My RAN Online Story, my first online games

Ran Online is the first free-to-play online games that I’ve played after been introduced by an aquaintance in 2008 and still currently active playing it till now. RAN Online was develop by a Korean game developer Min Communications Inc in 2006 and has expand worldwide through egames.com. The game is a 3D fantasy adventure, Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) action games. The game is about students defending their schools from a corrupted syndicate organization that cause chaos to the city. It consists of 4 based character classes where player can choose to be an Archer, Shaman, Brawler or Swordman. Each class has its own specialty and purpose depending on how the player build their character.

Throughout my experience playing RAN Online, I made plenty of friends and most of them are Malaysians. This game develops friendships as well as in-game foes which makes the game interesting. Though there's alot of cases whereby players became emotional and sensitive when they are killed by other players during Leveling time, Player Killing time (PK), and also Guild Wars. It's fun to play and makes the game more alive. It also develops teamwork spirit in each player during leveling, player killing (PK) time and also at Guild War events. Building up character statistics and level is essential as it determine your survival in the game. There is no strongest or weakest character players and do not judge the book by it's cover. Because usually players consider someone who can withstand high damage is Strong but when that player attacks, the damage caused are low. That's because of their statistic build are more focused to vitality (health) which is vital for survival. And doesn't mean someone wearing a high level armor are considered strong either. It only depends on their stat build and their equipments (rich people won't have trouble with obtaining strong equipments) And mostly popular type of build is players who focus on strength so can cause hell of damage esspecially with a Strong upgraded weapon. But unfortunately they are prone to death.

Some players naturally try to fight the offender and some escapes instead. Mostly alot of players chose to flee rather then fight because if they die, its possible to drop equipped weapons and armor. That's also one of the cause which leads players into making enemies in the game and becomes a personal matter. This is perhaps why it's called a real-life based game as there's development of friendships, relationships, enemies and whatever that we happens to have in real-life basis. You will need to have alot of patience and effort in leveling up your character. Leveling up is the main priority in the game. Without leveling, you won't progress. Hence, no stat upgrades. And it's not easy to level up too as it requires finding party groups. Leveling solo is a big shot but you still can if you're not able to find any available party.

For this RAN online games I’ve played at egames server, followed by myrosso server and the last RAN Online server that I’ve played is a private server called TrilogyRAN server. Overall, I'm satisfied playing with this game and gained a lot of memorable moments.
