I'm a 24 year old gamer who's fixated on MMOGs of any type. I tend to look into the bare facts while voicing a rather loud opinion at the same time, no matter what.

 Overview Information

Alaplaya has recently started publishing Florensia, a 3-D enriched environment MMORPG geared towards different styles of combat and classes. Sadly, at the time of printing, this game is undergoing Closed Beta, whereas the only ways to have recieved a key are practically unavailable to those anxiously wanting to play it due to the hype surrounding it. Alaplaya is the publisher for many MMOGs that are typically unique, interesting, and not of the 'norm'. It seems that the decision to 'aquire' Florensia under its list of titles will prove them to be more capable of handling 'standard' MMOGs out there, keeping in tune with a soon-to-be classic MMORPG like Florensia.

I was lucky enough to score a Closed Beta Key from MMOsite while they were still available. Once again, to obtain one it was basically the whole "spam the forum and spend some MMOsite Forum Points". I'm normally unkeen to this method of obtaining Closed Beta Keys; but I can't complain considering I wasn't naturally invited by Alaplaya to actually participate in this Closed Beta session outside of obtaining a key for myself. The community seems close-knit, those who were fortunate eno

Title

So I decided to see if I could get ahold of a Nexon Korea account, as they're the current publisher for Elsword (a side-scrolling Cel-Shaded MMOG). Luck has it, a friend of mine passed one over so I could try this game out. If you've been following my reviews or articles, you'll notice that I've also taken a hankering for another game (with the same type of genre classification) called "Grand Chase". Incidentally, they share the same parent (developer). Kog has been developing both Elsword and Grand Chase for some time now; except Elsword is newer and is currently undergoing Closed-Beta Testing. For whatever reason, Elsword seems like a near-exact clone of Grand Chase - except heavy improvements have been made to further the community and the player's personal experience while gaming.

You may find me comparing Elsword and Grand Chase a fair bit in this 'preview', as they are remarkably alike. Except, they're not alike at all. I say this not to confuse you, but because there's really nothing better out there to explain how I see Elsword. No, to all of the now-avid Grand Chasers, Elsword is not the sequel to Grand Chase. In fact, there are no characters that share the same
