Yes but all the rare cash shop stuff that will never return is lost.
I had this full set in red on my warden. Now all lost.
Well yeah while ToS getting a lot of hate, I surprisingly enjoy ToS at most when you can choose how to level (dungeon+quest) and not forced to buy gachas…
Siaulai is free to enter and get extra run with token. Blessed shard is daily instance drop. I’m getting salty when playing iRO or mobile RPG and need to pay to access similar features (Blessed shard wanna be is basically gacha’s junk and no other way to obtain)… You will be surprised that ToS tokenless is basically premium iRO/other game minus trading+market stuff…
I’m not white knight and complaining ToS before people accusing me

Oh my god, i didn’t know it was that severe. No compensation for lost costumes? I’d probably rage-quit too if this happens to me
I don’t know about this game, buy while looking for Au Ra race photos from FFXIV I found a screenshot of Aura kingdom, haven’t tried it and either did a research so I don’t know if it’s good, bad, dead or p2w.
All I know is that this game is a MMORPG and this style looks great, if anyone knows anything I would like to hear a review.
I didn’t play the game much since I got bored really fast. Sure it looked great but so many things you do in the game can be automated like walking to a quest location etc. It was extremely boring to me. Combat was regular click targeting and it didn’t really bring anything new or fun to me compared to other MMO’s.
If this doesn’t sound too bad to you try it out. 
MapleStory 2 if no one mentioned it.
Other than that, still waiting for Peria Chronicles.
I’ve been following this game for a while back when it was previously known as Project NT. Here’s a G-Star 2012 trailer that got me hyped for this game years ago.
Here’s the official youtube that hasn’t been updated in a long while. It has some neat gameplays and trailers. Note that they’re years old, but it’s worth watching them all to see all the sandbox features and stuff.
Here’s a translated status update a few months before G-Star 2016.
G-Star 2016 trailer
and gameplay. Doesn’t show as much as the youtube channel.
i saw the game gameplay video, it looks fun. But not sure when it will be coming out.
Interesting! Dark and Light definitely in my watch-list now. I am also waiting for Star Citizen…
Yes Aura Kingdom looks very interesting anime-like… But that game has like less than a thousand players online in steam which worries me.
Would like to hear from people who have played AK before too.
I played AK for a while and it has a nice Class-Subclass gimmick with skill builds and whatnot. Other than that it’s basically another point-and-click MMO. It’s kind of similiar to ToS though in the sense that you get to move around while battling (some skills even dedicate itself to making literal circles around monsters) complete with the Forecast danger zone. I wouldn’t recommend it if you don’t play with friends though.
So you are saying ToS is fine to play alone while AK isn’t very solo-friendly?
What about other gameplay aspects? Gearing, class balance, PvP, dailies… Better/comparable to ToS?
Oh and is inventory space a premium? I kind of like ToS inventory system. None of that constant tetris management or buy more bag slots with $$$.
More like because ToS still has a random matchmaking mechanic (which I love by the way) to do it’s daily contents. AK straight provided you with solo dungeons or party to bring your friends with, which is why I said you’d need friends. Otherwise, you’ll get real lonely real quick.
I didn’t get too deep into it though, since my friends quit early with me following soon after, sorry. Class balance wise, I’d say it’s really balanced to the point that you can solo the whole game. Literally every class have a support option and at the very least one method of self-healing, so yeah it’s probably really appealing to Kirito’s out there. Inventory space is slot based iirc with free expansions along with the story line.

Has anyone here mentioned Phantasy Star Online 2? I highly doubt a single MMORPG can get more anime than that thing. Don’t play anything other than the JP version though since the other servers are managed badly and are nearly closing. The JP version is playable with almost the entire game patched by English community (not official though, so don’t try to bring it up on tickets. The Japanese also don’t appreciate people shouting in foreign languages, but fear not the patch has a built in global chat).
The management so far is superb in my opinion. Classes are balanced, no bots or macros so far, dependable hotfixes, totally awesome lore and story, actual likable characters (with a selection of waifus), grindy but enjoyable (and totally optional) endgame, cosmetic cash shop (totally worth your pennies though, check them out), amazing character customization, scheduled events with massive multi-party, subclass system, and an upcoming PvP feature. Whew! did I miss anything? I’ll get forum banned for promoting this thing for sure. So long folks!
After hearing from you, I am so gonna download AK tomorrow and give it a go. I don’t mind playing alone solo as long as it’s balanced. Don’t want to pick certain classes or builds just for the most optimal build.
Despite ToS having so many different classes and variety, they are badly balanced and stats is also badly balanced.
Everything about AK sounds really positive so far, might even replace ToS as my main mmorpg.
Knock yourself out I say. One of the selling point of MMORPGs for me is the community (which is why Tree of Forum is so successful huehue). You can try and find your own place there, be it solo or with actual guild. The reason I quit AK was because players have little incentive to interact with one another. The auction house and COD system might be better than ToS market though, do check it out and tell me how it goes.
i dont think theres any good anime mmo atm…but if you want an active pvp enviroment with tons of possible builds that can actually work out because its balanced right, then try dark souls 3
Not an MMo, but I like the rune factory series, you might like the gameplay, skills, crafting system, monsters npc party system. It’s pretty similar to harvest moon but with the combat related and lore continuation?? (Every series gives alight to something connected to other series). Anyways try it, if it suits your tastes.

Since you will start it from 0 and you have played ToS, I’d really like to hear a feedback of AK from you.
Be careful good sir! AK has a certain way of making you feel perpetually inferior unless you spend money. From memory, all the Eidolons can be “earned” in-game, but I will be the first to say that this is not realistic. Some Eidolons appear only very rarely (we’re talking 1 appearance per 200+ hours you are actively looking for them in end-game dungeons or guild halls), and you will have to then get lucky with a drop from that spawn, then you will have to repeat this process upward of 20+ times. Eidolons are, though, central to some builds, as they provide not only stats to your characters but also specific skills and traits. After you finally earn (or buy for potentially hundreds) your top-tier Eidolon, get ready to spend a ton to level them up. Then spend upwards of $500 gearing your character to max because PvP and PvE have horrible balancing issues—PvP requires specific gear combinations to even be remotely relevant (I played a special kind of PvP reflect-based Tank—even in expensive gear I was still 1-shot by more invested DPS characters), and PvE has blatant “gear checks” that will leave you either missing the end-game content entirely or being carried by your team of invested players.
It is fun, for sure, near the start. Maybe for the first 100-500 hours. The combat is responsive and there really is a lot more player skill than one assumes at first. But in the end the game boils down to a money-pit full of fluff-and-frill mini-games. I may not be the best at everything when I play a game, but I am very often one of, if not THE, best at something—an older and established title like AK makes it hard to catch up to the front of the pack without some heavy investment.
The one thing that I applaud AK for above most other MMORPG’s is their handling of World Bosses. The community, in particular, was always very active in updating timers via public spreadsheets—loot distribution is not based on the total % of damage done, but rather evenly distributed to anyone who participated at all. To be counted as participating, all you had to do is land a single hit on the boss. Sometimes even this is a challenge though as the boss is only alive for 10 seconds to 30 seconds at most, but everyone you are with in the battle will be guiding you to the next correct channel so that you can get your swings in. It was a very different experience to ToS where most timers are kept hush-hush due to the loot distribution employed here. In AK, after the WB dies, you are given a cube/chest in your mail that you can then open for a chance at premium currency and more.
AK may be worth a shot, and I had a lot of fun with it years and years ago, but you may want to look for other anime-themed MMORPG’s if you think AK looks good, because this is one older game that may not be great to get into.

I regret the time and money spent on AK. X-Legend cares more for churning out new games than taking the time to make any one game worth playing. Very cash shop oriented as you’ll see with the discrepancy between average players and huge spenders.
