Yet another nostalgic review. Fly For Fun (better known as Flyff) is one of the most famous old school MMOs around. Although the game is old, the servers are still populated. Either it's just the fanbase working or the game really is that damn good (I'd probably go with the latter one). Flyff is a very memorable game for me. Not only was it my first 3D MMO, it was also the game that exposed me to the world of flight. In game flight was pretty hard to grasp during those days, and having an option to do so makes this game extremely awesome. Looking at the in game elements and mechanics from this era, Flyff doesn't really have that much to offer; however, it was pretty huge and rather innovative during at the time. As a modern gamer, I'd say an awesome game like this demands that we travel back in time and review it as though the game was still in its prime. It feels kind of awkward playing this game again... Ah the memories...
Starting Up
Compared to other MMOs, Flyff really has less to offer when it comes to character creation. You can only create up to three characters, with little premade options to choose from. Aside from the gender option, players can customize their characters further by picking between an array of premade faces and hairstyles that don't really have that much variety. The hair color option doesn't seem to work for flyff penya, meaning you'll be stuck with the standard hair color until you decide to wear something over your head. If you think about it, being old does not give the game an excuse for the lack of character customization. Ragnarok Online's pretty old as well, but it still gave us the ability to change our hair color, right?
After creating your Vagrant (newbie class), you'll be catapulted straight to the newbie grounds where you must satisfy a series of tutorial instructions to familiarize yourself with the ingame controls. Once you've grasped the game's control scheme, you're ready to grind like hell.
