Destiny Online is your typical F2P MMORPG with a flimsy storyline and a myriad of game features that aren't innovative in the MMORPG scene. These features are definite necessities for providing a mix of entertaining game play and an interesting online game which Destiny Online brings in spades.
Upon seeing the promotional video I immediately assumed that Destiny Online is an online game that has the elements of MMORPGs and online dating. However, as I played the game my assumptions were dead wrong. I'd have to stress the fact that the advertisement you are seeing on the website is a viral video. In fairness to the ad however, it did capture the game's bubbly, feel-good atmosphere that greets you once you've logged in. It brings a harmonious mix of cutesy animations and graphics and a familiar game play system that rivals every feature packed MMORPG out. However, the game still lacks the proper "oomph" factor that you would be looking for in an MMORPG.
As I mentioned earlier, Destiny Online Gold uses a very familiar gameplay system that every Asian themed f2p MMORPG uses. So don't expect any surprises upon playing the game. The familiarity of the game play does however provide you a sense of comfort while playing which may be a good or bad thing for you. The game also uses a stat point build system that we often see in a lot of Asian MMORPGs. This provides you with enough familiarity that you don't need a lot of time to understand how things work and it provides you with enough customization to satisfy your basic needs.
In terms of appearance customization, the game enables you to "clothe" your character depending on the armor you use. However, you won't get to see all the equipment your character wears which is a letdown. The game doesn't provide much customization with how your character looks. You only get to change the hair color, hair style and gender of your character and that's it. To be honest, I don't think that you will really concentrating on these aspects of the game as you play. The way I see it, the game doesn't really care much in terms of the customization because it's not really a game that provides as much eye candy as any the next game, but then, that's not the game's strength anyway.
