Nexus: The Kingdom of the Winds, whose original Korean title is Baran, is a 2-D Suikoden-looking MMORPG with a historical/fantasy kingdom theme.
It's easy to get in and learn how to
play but, like Othello, is hard to
master. You can choose from one of
four classes and then, once you hit level 13, it becomes a completely different
game. Quests are no longer given to you (befriend an archon to find new stuff to do, basically), new skills and tasks are no longer explained, and there's no limit to leveling up since every 4 months, a new "elite" stat group is created so once-
noobs can be considered noobs again. Before the "Renewed Earth" redesign, it wasn't as much a home for elitists and 13 year olds who trap you in Vale (the
PK area you can't avoid for too
long). However, it is still addictive. Every now and then, a Korean dude will play on the US servers and shout at you to "give itam!"
