9Dragons Reviews

Bring the exit portals back to normal, disable hp heal consumable while in pvp mode. There are many bugs that needs to be fixed, for example when i buff my self with conquerors anti poison, i get rooted in place and have to relog. Else everything is fine to me, i just hope they add auto meditate in the skill trainer. I started seeing gold bots aswell in some places. I'll write further review if there's an issue. Enjoying it so far! -So, i just found out this item. The kunlun set which everyone wants. It's just game breaking stats that low lvl can use. I hope this will be changed soon, its going p2w path again. -So i noticed that, warriors got overly buffed. You can see people play like 80% warriors 15% healer/hybrid 5% nukers. Stat gain for other than warriors are small. And this korean ginsen should be just removed. It was one of the reason why many players left the game back then, it is considered p2w and very unbalanced because it heals 30% of hp. Only high hp class can make good use of this like warrior and hybrid. I dont really mind people with premium but please just remove it. Any healing items like the herbs should have different cooldown when in pvp, make it longer for pvp. You literally chase high hp class the whole map spamming healing item. Thats for now.

9Dragons is a MMO that has been around awhile. I played it when it was held by its original publisher and have come back to playing it now. It is stilla fun game with a number of unique elements. PROS -Genuine martial arts theme -nice combo of skills and level based advancement. -although now dated, graphics are pleasing CONS -endgame is too pvp oriented (for me) -it can be a bit grindy, although I do not mind this too much, "grind" is a curse word to most modern mmo players -you have to use the cash shop a little too much as you advance. Even if a premium member, you find yourself needing to buy additional items at high levels. There are other mmos where a set 15$ a month gets you all you need. In 9D, you can easily find yourself spending twice that a month. Overall, I give 9D a 8 out of 10. It is still a fun game that is well worth sinking away some hours of your life into. A better balanced cash shop would make it more fun for long term playing.

great game with s*** publishers not just this one all of them but the game itself is amazing its old as hell but it still has potential. It's even up for a new engine sometime soon! im going to be honest if you want to keep up your goin to need to spend a decent amount per month BUT! if your not obsessed with being number 1 and you can bare to be a filthy casual xD most things can be bought in game with in game currency it will take a while but it can be done!

been this game for some years it had a lil bad time back then with gc but redfox is trying very hard and they are srs about it. been playing since day 1 i enjoy it alot with my friends.

A great classic game. Game is chinese themed and has a wide variety of Kung Fu styles to choose from and different clans to join. If you want a chinese MMO this is most likely better than Age of wushu. Been playing it since 2007 so don't mind the hour count (which is broken for everyone btw).

I started playing this game like 7-8 years ago. Those were fun times because you had enough time to grind to level cap. But since they increased level cap and you get 0.01 from 7-8 mob it is torture to level at higher levels. Do not start this game unless they change the exp rates and item mall prices.

old style grind-fest, but great classes, hero band/league system and amazing skills for all 8 different clans and classes. Spent a long time playing this game for 7 years or so!

I have played this game ever since I first time got to test it at an week-long event in Finland and we got a ticket with code to download the game while it was still in early closed/public beta or alpha state. Back then the game was by Acclaim... Acclaim was awesome, but I still kept playing after it changed to GamersFirst and then to GamesCampus who also did pretty good job at handing the game.. HOWEVER! I have enjoyed Redfox the most so far! The game is simple Massivly Multiplayer Online Kung-Fu based game with your skillbar, inventory and so on.. You have 6 clans to choose from, 3 Imperial (white) and 3 Infernal (Black) clans which are enemies Classes/Roles are also quite generic: Nuker - kiting with massive dmg spells Healer - Melee combat + heals and buffs Warrior - do I have to explain? Hybrid - Warrior + few heals/buffs Skills Each skill can level up and make more dmg and change the amount of attacks and/or animation Maps Each map has gates in and out of the map with quick loading screen Maps - Are level based Each clan has it's own There is "Market hub" map Travelling On foot with running skill that can be leveled up to be faster No mounts Navigation system to walk to your quest marker I hope more people would play this game even though the graphics are not super cool or virtual reality and the game is old.

Unfortunately, no matter how much i love this game i have to say i do not recommend it to anyone that is looking to start a new mmorpg. It is F2P, but heavily P2W. you need at least 40-50$ per month to compete Endless grinding with horrible exp rates. Imagine you have to kill 3000-5000 the same mob to gain 1 level Publisher so far is ignoring all suggestions from players in the forums, following the same strategy as previous publishers. Which is to milk as much money as they can, and fast enough before closing down servers. Many players spent huge money multiple times.. having their hard work thrown in the bin, as servers sooner or later are closing down. Mission accomplished for publishers though...

9 Dragons is a game that has gone through many changes and publishers since 2006. I have followed it from the early days from when it was published by Acclaim to present day where it is now published by RedFox Games. What a journey it has been. I’ve played it off and on since 2007 until I finally quit in early 2014. Do I recommend this game to new players? No. Stay far away from this. Not only is this game a grind fest, it also is heavily pay to win. If you look at the item mall, you will quickly see that you need to spend at least a few hundred dollars just to be mildly competitive. I put at least 5,000 hours into this game and I regret a lot of them. It was a fun game back in 2007-08, but it has gone nowhere but downhill since then. The mechanics in place are designed so that players are compelled to spend money in the item mall if they want to stand a chance against other players or even be strong enough to complete higher level content. This is even further enforced by the strong gambling mechanics built into the game. If you want to refine your clothing or weapons (gives a nice stat boost), then you must risk losing them after refining them to a certain level. The crafting in this game is generally focused on success rate percentages. Some items have a 100% chance to make them. Other items have less than a 1% chance to make. You can purchase things in the item mall that mitigates the risk of losing your precious gear. This brings up a pay to win element. Being able to sell item mall items in the game severely disrupts the game economy and favors those who are willing to spend hundreds in the item mall. You would think that the item mall would at least be fairly cheap if the game requires it right? Prepare to spend hundreds of dollars just to have a chance at decent gear. Even the item mall is built around gambling with things like boxes which give you random items when you open them. They aren’t cheap either and you could literally spend thousands and not get anything worthwhile from them. Even if you look past all of those negatives and see what the game has to offer, you won’t find much. Besides endless grinding; there are a bunch of fetch quests that don’t really give you much for your time. The combat is hot bar based and uses a unique active skill system where your character performs a set of animations depending on the active skill being used. The story itself is mildly interesting the first time you play through it, but it isn’t much different for each clan in the game. The maps themselves are small and the graphics are extremely dated. The game does has a sort of charm to it though. Something about the whole package is appealing at a first glance. It will be fun and interesting at first, but it quickly grows tiring and you’ll find yourself playing for the next level instead of having fun. TL;DR? It's just another grind focused Korean MMORPG that reached its peak about 8 years ago. Only play if you are a grind junkie and like old school MMOs.
