Why Secruoser of Taurus play Monster Forest!

This is me with my brand new Prada coat and hat!

Let's see, it's been a long time since I last played an MMO but one day, Asiasoft sends a CBT code of Monster Forest to my email. I rarely check that email account, but I happened to check it one day after Asiasoft's email about the CBT. Well I was boring and feeling curious I clicked on the link to check it out. I visited the official site and it seems to be just another MMO to me. However, I did some reading about the game and it revealed to me that MF is quite different from all the MMOs I've known before (perhaps I haven't played enough MMOs), but catching pets and keeping farms sound really interesting!

So I went to Youtube and did a little search, it seems that MF is already up and running in China, Vietnam and Thailand. From the comments in Youtube, the game looks promising and positive to say the least. Since I have some free time to spare, I've decided to download the client and give it a try. The client was quite intimidating, posing over 1GB for my not-so-fast internet connection. I downloaded in parts over a couple of days and finally installed it. I was worried that my laptop couldn't run the game because it was old and the game's minimal requirement is quite high for my laptop. Nevertheless, I waited for the CBT.

In the mean time, I found myself attracted to the game very much by its cutesy graphics, farming feature, fashions, ability cards and pets. I created a blog specifically just for the game and my experience with it. It's going to be a blog where I post my updates in the game. I also joined the forum to share and learn information from all the members and moderators there. While waiting for CBT, I get myself familiar with it in the forum, from the videos posted in Youtube and from the official site.

Let me elaborate about its features:

1) Pets

There are so many pets to choose from! You get to own one by default as you start the game, or you can catch other pets as you progress in the game. There are 8 types of pets: Insects, Beasts, Aquatics, Dragons, Plants, Humans, Robots and Demons. My favorite is the Aquatics type. Why? I like it because very little other players like it! They usually like 'glamourous' classes like Dragons, Humans or Robots. I myself dislike overused classes.

You can grow your pet, feed it, mate it with opposite gender to create new breed, make it a home called 'dormitory' in your farm, equip it with different skill cards for battle purposes and even evolve it! Evolving a pet will need certain requirements. An evolved pet is stronger and has more access to more talents! Talent is a feature which comes together with a pet. By equipping pet with skill cards that further complements a pet's talent, you can make it very powerful!

2) Miniland

Miniland is your very own farm in the game, where you can grow your own crops, from corns to coffee beans, and rear livestocks such as chicken, cow, pig, etc! You get to build structures and use tractors just like managing a real farm! Isn't that fun?? You can also decorate your farm with various items such as light post, post box, wooden cart and many more! I myself got a lot of such items just by hunting monsters during quests! These items are not only for decoration, as they help increase your farm's Popularity where more NPCs will pay visit to your farm. Why you want them to visit? Because you can open your own Cafe! You will get recipes for food and drinks where you can produce them using recipe items and sell them at your Cafe or feed them to your pet. More business means more Prestige points, and higher level NPCs will visit your farm and reward you with better items! The Miniland surely provides a breath of fresh air once you're bored of hitting and killing monsters!

3) Fashion

You can decorate your character with the latest fashions with loads of clothes and accessories to choose from! Just look at my screenshot!

4) Others

The game also has 'Bot-Detector' function, which I like. It helps to prevent botting players to hack and cheat by afk farming. Botting defeats the purpose of MMO, because you don't socialize!!!

Monster and boss instances also help to reduce the lag since your map isn't flooded with mobs but instead you're instanced when fighting monsters/bosses.

There are also mining maps where you can dig up treasures!

There are so many other interesting features in the game. For example, you can 'Invest' your currency and claim it later and get returns from your 'investment'.

So what are you waiting for? You can view the posts in my blog to get to know more about this game! Give this game a try! Visit http://mf.playpark.net now!
