Ether Saga Online is a free to play with item shop game with cute, anime-style art from Perfect World. Based on a Chinese novel, the storyline features fantastic elements like magic treasures and an evil general turned into a pig. The game features three races and six character classes, each with their own quests and pets. Ether Saga Online's story is based off the Chinese classic, Journey to the West (also known as The Monkey King.) Players are determined to be part of the sacred team that will journey westward to retrieve the sacred texts that were lost due to the Monkey King's antics. For those who love this tale, the game's telling of it is a real treat. A light-hearted take on the classic, most of the quests are only loosely related to the story, and are instead whimsical or silly side tales in the world itself.
Unlike other MMORPG games that charge subscription fees, Ether Saga Online will be Free-To-Play. Once inside the game world, players can earn and spend money to upgrade a large variety of items to enhance their game play experience.
There are three races in Ether Saga Online. In terms of game play the three races all behave the same and can all play as any of the six Classes. They live harmoniously and without serious conflicts. This is because they all have different aims. Each race will have its own quests (in addition to shared ones) which will all be aimed at completing that race’s particular objective. In addition to these race dependant quests/goals is the shared ultimate goal of being selected to join the Mission West.
Ether Saga Online (ESO) houses a unique pet system. When you start your journey, you will be given a pet according to your race. As you advance, you will be given the opportunity to capture, tame, and raise many different types of monsters. Monsters that can be tamed will be indicated by a marking on their name panel.
Upon character creation, there are a few choices to make. There are three races or factions you can be a part of: Ren, Shenzu, and Yaoh. Each have a different back-story, but are functionally the same, except for their starting pet's appearance. There are six classes available: Rogue, Dragoon, Conjurer, Ranger, Shaman, and Mystic. You'll also need to select your character's date of birth and zodiac sign, which will influence which three Nascent skills they receive - a different set of three for each selectable day of the year, and each different per race. As players level, they're also capable of customizing their character by choosing affinities to provide them passive boosts to skills and attributes.
