NETGAME, the US distributor of this MGame MMO describe the world as being "based on the conflicts between two nations; Primus Union who fights for loyalty and Ganav Libero who fights for freedom." Also, they note that they'll be starting with a wide range of in-game events and items beginning November 25th, which sounds promising for those of us who love live beta events. So if the idea of spending all day tomorrow staring at Great Aunt Bertha over a plate of dry turkey and gelatinous can-shaped cranberry sauce doesn't appeal, then get your client download started and head over to the CloudNine site to sign up.

It's anime based, that doesn't mean it's a "kids" game. It's slightly cute, but it's still very fun.
And while it's true that this is "Holic 2" - it's so much different than Holic was. They took the lessons learned from Holic in order to make a much better game.
Basing your opinion of a game purely on looking at the front webpage, no offense but that's not very intelligent. This one is actually pretty good compared to the hordes of sub-par free to play games out there.

Well, Mew. I beg to differ. My general experience has been that if something looks like absolute garbage in its advertising, that's usually exactly what it is.

Well, I disagree. It's definitely a kids game but I like the look of the screenshots. I'll give this a shot.

You know, I gave this game a shot and it's much more than I thought.
Granted, it's fairly familiar stuff and the translations are comical but it's not a kids game like I previously thought. In fact, the female characters are downright sexy (in that Anime kind-of uncomfortable youthful but well-endowed way).
There are some new things added in the mix, one of which I am very taken with: Collection books. You collect cards from mobs you kill and arrange them in books for bonuses.
The graphics are sparse and a generation or two behind but the characters animations are great.
Controls are almost game-breaking for me but to be honest I'm having so much fun in the world that I am seeing what I can do with them.
If you try it give it 5 or 6 levels. The first introduction is a bit eye-rolling but the game grows on you.

I'm am glad you said this. You shouldn't judge a game just by looking at it's screenshots.
Just say you don't like the style of the graphics or something, Jeez.
I think I'm going to give the game a shot and judge for myself though! lol.
The anime style has been growing on me from other games I've played...
