Some more info about this game:

Note: Following is completely written by myself and is not copied from anywhere!

The Races:

In the game there are 3 races, The Bellatos, The Coras, and The Accreticans.. These 3 races are in war with eachother and are fighing for the control of the central mine.

The Bellatos:
The bellatos are a bit human like. They are great engineerers and like building all sort of things. The belatos are expereienced traders and very greedy, so many of them are very rich. They are able to build big combat robots which they can drive and use in combat, and can upgrade them with weapons and armor plates.

The Coras:
The coras are magical and spiriual creatures and are worshipping the holy magic. Many coras are posessing strong magic spells and use them in the war againnst the other races. The coras also posess the ability to summon ceatures from the underground to come help them.

The Accreticans:
The accreticans are roots sent from a planetfar away to destoy everything. The only goal this race has is to destroy and conquer. The accreticans are very strong and very durable and it takes alot to kill one. The accreticans have access to very big rocket launchers which are very devatating.

The Classes:

The game has some base classes, and then they can upgrade their class twice. Once at level 30 and once at level 40. You will also be able to cross class (by mixing for example Ranger and warrior), but this might limit your efficiency a bit as you wont reach the high rank class upgrades and will miss some special class skills.

The Base Classes:

There are 4 base classes in the game. Warrior, Ranger, Spiritualist and Specialist.

The Warrior:
The warrior specializes in melee combat and duraility. This class will have a high HP (Hit Points), but low FP (mana points) and low SP (Stamina points). This class gains more skill points in Melee Combat and Shield.
All races can be a warrior.

The Ranger:
The ranger specializes in ranged combat and speed. This class have high SP, but low FP and HP. This class gains more skill points to Ranged Combat. All races can be a ranger.

The Spiritualist:
The spiritualist specializes in magical combat. This class have a high FP, but low HP and SP. This class gains more skill points in magic combat.
All races exept the accreticans can be spiritualists.

The Specialist:
The specialist is not strong in anything, but not bad in anything either.
This class have low HP, SP and FP, but gains moderate ammount fo skill points in everything. The specialists are hard to level, but gets some bonuses later on as they will be able to get the races ultimate weapon. This class is also the only class able to craft things. All races can be specialist.

The Upgraded Classes:

There are several upgrades to the base classes later in the game. The first ones at level 30, next ones at level 40. There are different upgrades for each race. I dont have the info for every class there is yet (might edit this in later) but i will tell what the specialist for each races can upgrade to if they want that races secret weapon.

The Bellato Specialist can upgrade to a driver at level 30. The driver is a race who is able to build MAUs. The MAUs is a controllable robot that the driver can sit inside and control. There are 2 types of MAU, the melle MAU and the ranged MAU. These robots are very strong but talso very expensive. The diver have to get money for weapons, armor and repairs. The driver also dont get XP while inside he MAU so have to g out of it if he wants to level. At levl 40teh diver can upgrade to armored driver, andcan upgrade his MAU to a BMAU. The BMAU have very much health and damage very much, and can take almost anything one vs one. But they are not so strong against more than one target.

The Cora Specialist can upgrade to summoner at level 30, where he can pick a summon he wishes to use. These summons all have special abilities, but only one can be summoned at the time. At level 40 the summoner can upgrade to master summoner which can cast even better summons. The specialist is also able to ressurect other players which is a very nice ability.

The Accretican Specialist can upgrade to Battle Leader at level 40, which can cast debuffs and boost the speed of others. I dont know much about this class as i cant find any info about it.

The Central Mine (Chip Wars):

2 times a day there will be a chip war in the area around the central mine. The 3 races will fight in a free for all tournament, where you have to destroy one of the other races chip (central base) while you protect your own. These fights are very fun, but you wont have a chance if you are not at least level 30. The winners of these fights will then have the central mine for 12 hours, where they can mine valuable materials they can use to craft or upgrade weapons. Or they can just sell the ore. There will be a giant guardian in the mine, so noone will be able to get in there if they dont own the mine, so you can safely go afk while you mine if that is what you want.

Quests:

There are a few quests in the game, but most are just boring and requires you to fight monsters at least 7 levels over yours (which is possible with enough potions). You get one quest each level, and they just require you to to kill X ammounts of a specific monster, or collect X ammount of an item from a specific monster. So this is just one big grind.

Death:

When you die you respawn at the nearest main base, and lose some ammounts of XP. At the higher levels this can get quite much, and one single death can cost you over 20 hours of gameplay. And this is both in PvE and PvP.

The Combat:

The combat system is also a bit boring, as it mostly just requires you to spam one ability, and watch your health when to use a potion. The PvP is a bit better, but its still not impressive and in most cases its the one with most potions that will win.
