Oh my god! It has been so FUCKING (I’m sorry) long since I posted in my wonderful blog. I don’t even have an idea where to start. My blogging skills surely degraded. Back when I started blogging, I never imagined that I’d become so inactive again. Maybe I burned all my motivation.
Humans sure suck. It’s like with food. When you eat something yummy too much, you will slowly lose the sensation. I’m sure everyone experienced this already. Why is that so? Pissing me off, seriously. xD

So recently I started playing WonderKing Online. Oh wait, it’s just called WonderKing and King in lower cases. So Wonderking it is. Eh, confusing
name, isn’t it?
Alright, lads. Wonderking is a 2D sidescrolling MMORPG, just like Maple Story.
Lulwut?!
Short: Super-Mario-like with a persistent online world.
Long:
- 2D graphics
- Sidescrolling – You can only run left, right, up and down.
LULWUT2?!
It’s not a joke. I’m seriously playing this game. Who could expect such a change after games like Darkfall, EVE or FAIL Mortal Online? How could this happen?
My MMORPG career(or should I call this addiction?) started with Ragnarok Online. This game looks very anime-like with drawn characters in a 3D world, called sprites I think. Beautiful. After few years playing RO, I had to move on due to boredom. (Ragnarok Online had tons of dramas. I loved it. No other MMORPG offered so much drama as RO.)
Well, the game I moved on was Maple Story. It looked very similar. I actually loved it, this game was very addicting and fun. BUT the goddamn grind killed it for me. These Koreans often overdo with grind in their MMORPGs. We, westerians, are like little pussies compared to them. Grind-wise we will never be able to beat them. You need like several no-lifes to level in MapleStory. The EXP gain is so low, that causes us to ragequit. The EXP loss upon death is so high that it causes us to ragequit. It’s a frickin’ doom loop.

I’m not sure why, but playing Wonderking feels so good. You have like full control over you character. It’s not some retarded click ‘n wait MMORPG, nor a F1-12 spamfest. It’s a MMORPG where _player_ skill matters. Reminds me on good ol’ 2D jump & run sidescrollers like Super-Mario.
Also you can play this game with a Joystick, which is much better than keyboards, imo.
There are 3 versions. NA, EU and JP. If you’re EU, you can’t play on the NA servers and vice versa.
NA website: http://wonderking.ndoorsgames.com/center/default.asp
EU website: http://wonderking.bigpoint.com/ (atm only in German available, English client coming within the next 2 months. The English community is there pretty big though.) I’m playing on the EU server. Ingame name is obvious.
Eh, that’s it I guess. My blogging-motivation is all used up. kthxbye
