Initial Reaction
The following is a recount of the adventure I had in the Day One of the closed beta. My original impression of the game was great. I immediately connected the Sun God in which they were praying to, to be related to Aztec and Solaire Astora from Dark Souls. The games graphics are buggy at first and not the best, however this is to be expected since it is only in Beta. In my opinion this game has a lot of potential and I am excited to continue playing this game. The story of the Yutonians and the alliance against the modern era seems to be a great story line. I am excited to get on and play through the story and play as a mechanical character after finishing this story line. The concept of mages vs mechanical reminds me a bit of the conquest for South America in which the Spanish and other European countries annihilated the natives.
First Person: Role Playing
Hello, my name is MajorGenius, a Yutonian in Black Gold Online. This is Day One of the closed beta and I have decided to become a Beast Master. The story as of now has decided to insert me into a war between Erlandir and the heretics who are trying to destroy us. An enemy ship arrived to the port and is now attempting to destroy our village. I killed my first Isenhorst soldier with my battleaxe, I pray that my ancestors are proud of my feat. I have got my first companion, a Homodont Beast. This beast is like a majestic wolf with horns and tusks who will be my battle partner. As I rode him, I felt a surge of power like nothing I have ever felt before. I felt connected with the Beast, it was my new partner. I threw my spear at two rangers and annihilated them, almost instantaneously.
Suddenly, a metal abomination appeared out of nowhere and attacked me. I gave a quick prayer to the Sun God and attacked it. Unfortunately, the machine overwhelmed me as I was enraged by the abomination of itself. I woke up in a village completely unscathed, however my Homodont Beast disappeared, he was nowhere to be found. In my grief an elderly man recognized me, however I have never seen him before. He gave me some money, said it was part of a quest. He then asked me to examine the lake. Feeling obliged and thankful, I headed out to the lake, a mere 10 meters away from where we were talking.
The lake was absolutely beautiful. There were four wooden boats in perfect condition and there was a magical tree that was sprouting from the earth. The water was shimmering, the light reflecting on the surface. However, I noticed that there were fish that were popping out of the water, dead. I was alarmed at this and went back to the village elder to tell him about the fish. He seemed quite worried over the conditions of the fish and the lake and told me to visit a Mr. Benson Silver, a healer. Mr. Benson Silver claimed that although the Black Prince was defeated, his followers remain true to their cause, to cause chaos in our world. Mr. Silver asked me to go and eliminate a thief that was a follower.
On my way to defeat the thief, I saw a Trench Ox. These are magnificent creatures that are all blue and have tusks and has wavy hair that blows in the wind. It is a bit fat and has feet that are strong and molded. They appear to be extremely fierce creatures. I saw the thief, she was a beautiful woman, however she was cruel for stealing from these townsfolk. I could not allow that to continue so I had to slay her. I headed back to Mr. Silver to tell him of the tale. After telling him of my feat, he praised me and revealed that he took part in the Holy War. As a reward, he gave me a trinket called Dawn. He tells me that in order to make an antidote for the fish, he needs to buy a neutralizer. I can not refuse such a man who is working to save the ecosystem of the lake. I met a merchant and manage to haggle the price of the neutralizer to one copper, with the neutralizer in hand, I quickly rushed to Mr. Silver in order to help him save the ecosystem. Mr. Silver quickly creates the antidote and hands it to me, pleading for me to go with haste to save the lake. I ended my journey for the day staring and that beautiful lake, cleansed of its disgusting poison.
