Jade Dynasty is the latest free-to-play MMO coming from Perfect Worlds, the distributor of such games as Perfect World International and Ether Saga Online, all based out of China and Asia. If you remember my preview of Ether Saga, you’ll know that much of what makes Perfect World games is the friendly nature of the core gameplay. Jade Dynasty looks to keep this ethos intact.
For example, the game has features that make it easy to go up in levels. Use the meditate feature for when you are playing the game and go off to get a sandwich and your character will gain experience just standing there. Or, when you log off after a nice 6 hour raid session, you’re able to click the Dream feature. You character will gain experience while you go do important things, like eating sandwiches.
Even more interesting is the streamlining features of the game. Quests will be lined up in your quest list, and instead of running off to start the quest, you just click on the list and it’ll take you there. Which is nice, considering that the game world is effing huge. Forty five minutes to cross just a portion of the map. So there you go! It’s releasing on June 15, and if you want to get in on the beta, just head on over to the Jade Dynastywebsitefor beta keys.
