First of all, I will say this:

“LET THERE BE CLONE!”

Why?

Because I have seen too much in my life that the act of copying (or borrowing the idea) lead to many great products in their future.  I’ll give an example later.

Another reason is, it will promote the genre heavily.

Some will say: “BUT CLONING IS NOT THE SAME AS COPYING”

Exactly!  Clone in terms of genetic biology science refers to a word of identical EXACT replica.  So if you really never find a game that EXACTLY the same, why do all people keep using this term as a word to represent someone who copy some aspect of game to develop a new one?  They are not doing the real cloning in this term.  Splices point of view explain it, so I won’t cover it anymore in here.  Go read it here.

Yes, I understand there are so many terms out there for clone’s meanings.  In this case, from this point onward, I will use this terms as the ‘usual’ meaning tendency, that a game is similar to other in many many ways.

Genre Promotion

Before I explain my first reason to support the clone, I will go to the second: clone war will promote the genre heavily.  If the genre become alive, it will attract many people or companies to consider penetrating the gen

After asking around to this site about this game and don’t find any clue about them, I decide to give a try to this game.  Cuz I thought, hey it’s just a 490MB file to download.  Won’t hurt much to try it anyway.  Btw, MOF is a F2P item mall based subscription game. 

Before I begin, some people are thinking that I hate 2D MMORPG because of my review about Ghost Online.  I have to say they are wrong.  I love 2D MMORPG.  I am a gamer even since Atari was come out as the only console game out there.  I even install some old RPG of SNES in my PDA.  So contrary to what some people think when they read about my review of Ghost Online, I love playing 2D MMORPG.  And so far, Master of Fantasy (MOF) has fullfil my hope that this genre can still produce a good title.

You can read about the background and some glimpse of the games in my previous article that asking around about this game.  And if you think that the characters seems to be similar with Pangya, a casual golf online game, you are right.  Because the character designer of both games is still the same team.

The graphic of MOF is cute and somehow I have a feeling that Maple Story 2 will have a serious contender because of this game
