Questions by Alex Beck, OnRPG Journalist
Answered by Danny Project Manager of Phoenix Dynasty Online.
Phoenix Dynasty Online (PDO) is a bright and flashy oriental-themed MMORPG. The game is blessed with a remarkable set of spells and effects, not to mention in game action unlike anything you've ever seen before. We interviewed Danny, Project Manager at Phoenix Dynasty Online and asked him some questions about the game.
Onrpg: While hosting multiple games, do you find it hard to deliver content to all of them?
We have set up different teams for each game, so all staff can focus on their game and their specific duty. Although we are a new company, most of the our staff members have been in this industry for a couple of years, by which I am not going to say we are very experienced, but we do have accumulated some experience in running all the games and we are progressing toward a mature game publisher and trying to present our games to a much wider player base.
Onrpg: What sets Phoenix Dynasty Gold apart from other 2.5D online games?
Phoenix Dynasty Online claims itself to be the most beautiful 2D MMORPG. And it lives up to the hype with its artistic graphics and unique water-and-ink appeal. Aside from the graphics, its in-depth content, especially the embrace of the mystic 5-element system, brings unique experience for crafting and PvP.
Onrpg: What sorts of classes can a player expect to play as?
There are four classes available. Paladins deal melee damage with high attack and defense; wizards cast powerful offensive spells but are physically weakened; assassins attack from distant with arrows and set traps; and priests have healing and summoning ability.
Onrpg: Can players purchase the same items with in-game cash that players using micro transactions can?
They cannot directly make the purchase, whereas they can trade the in-game gold for Phoenix Points (in-game currency) with other players and then buy the cash items. Actually most of the cash items, such as mounts and gems, can be obtained by pure grinding, which makes micro transaction totally optional.
