Game Description and Comments
Archlord is a 3D fantasy MMORPG with the interesting premise that a player can become the supreme ruler of the game world aka the Archlord. Every month one player will rise to the top and be able to exact his or her will on the game. Of course it will take an interesting feature like this for Archlord to compete in the crowded MMO pay-to-play genre. Besides trying something new in the genre with the ultimate ruler it should be noted that Archlord will aim to please both PvPers and solo players. This is in direct contrast to most of the other MMOs that have been launched in 2006 such as D&D Online (thought it is improving) Auto Assault and RF Online. PvPers will be able to take part in massive wars while solo players will have plenty of quests to keep them occupied.
Key Features
- Eight playable classes including Berserker Shaman Knight Mage Elementalist Hunter Archer and Spiritualist.
- Three races including Orcs Humans and Moon Elfs.
- Designed around the five elements: water fire spirit earth and air.
- Massive real-time battles between guilds.
- Considerable amount of solo content via questing.
- Music scored by the London Symphony Orchestra.

Comment: This game is kind of good. Actually very good for a beta. With good graphics good gameplay and decent community could be a good overall game. However I don’t know why the people who reviewed this kept on saying it was free. It is going to be p2p like WoW. In fact it will be probably more expensive. You have to buy the game like WoW then pay a monthly fee. You might as well play WoW because it is going to be really hard for this game to beat it.

Pretty good game, although graphics are a bit dated now. I like how the game allows you to choose your own race (human, orc, and elf), but I’m not a huge fan of race-locked classes. For instance, humans are locked to archers, knights, and mages, orcs are locked to berserkers, sorcerers, and hunters, and elves are locked to swashbucklers, rangers, and elementalists. I guess it’s not too bad since classes do follow a similar structure. One thing that does seem kind of interesting from the description of the game is that a player can become an “ArchLord” for a server, and the ArchLord has his/her own castle, dragon mount, and other features; sounds like a fun idea for an MMORPG, but I’m not sure how that’s managed, especially since the game’s over a decade old now and the game was shut down in 2014. But overall, I’d rate this game a 4/5.
