Legacy of the Zodiac EX

[ScytheCGC]

Hey, this is Scythe the owner of LoZ EX. LoZ EX is made with the X-Realms 2D MMORPG Engine, which is made with Mirage Source =).

LoZ EX is short for Legacy of the Zodiac EX. Our host is DarkDragoon who has the server up 24/7 unless something happens like the power goes out, he's running on a Windows XP. This version of LoZ, LoZ EX has been around since February 2006 and is still growing and getting better day by day. We have over 1500 awesome maps for people to explore. If you download it and try it I'm sure you will become addicted to it. We have a hard working Staff that is always there to lend a helping hand if you have a question or two. There is plenty of stuff for you to do, and more is still in the works!

This is the staff list of LoZ EX which I will update when needed.

Head Administrator/Owner/Creator - Scythe

Administrator(s): Yukimura

GM(s):[ DarkDragoon

Developer(s): Amnesia, LightDragon, Nemesis

Mapper(s):None

Moderator(s):Velkan, Silence/Curse, Smoke, Seda, Jamie, Lateralus


Class Info (Descriptions by Amnesia)

Rogue (Their specialty is their high speed compared to the other characters. Good for beginners)

Samurai (A high attack power, great choice for those would-be looters)

Dragoon (Base their stats more on def in the beginning)

Monk (A more balanced class, with a little bit lower speed. At higher levels they learn how to focus their Ki into devastating attacks)

HawkEye (Not a melee class, and not a mage class, but develops into a Ranger class, once Bows are added to the game.)

Cleric (The healing class in LoZ EX. Clerics can either choose to be magic users or Melee class, for they have great starter points either way.)

Sorcerer (Quite obviously the magic class. They learn the most spells in the game and can do quite a bit of damage if you level them high enough.)


Don't worry, there are over 400 other sprites you can change to, you change your sprite by using a Sprite Orb, which brings you to the Sprite Change Room, where you can change around your sprite to what you want =). A few examples are shown below =D.

Your jobs don't reflect what they are in real life.

A samuria that steals/loots?

A slow monk, who would then be fist fighters that can't move their fists faster than a sword?

A healer that's good at melee?

Sorry, but that last one seems over powered. If you can contantly heal others, yourself, and be a good melee fighter (Which means you should have decent defence and attack), than that would be the prefect job. Games should never have a prefect job class.

I enlarged a few of the screenshots, and your graphics don't match at all. You've got character sets and chipsets of several different color types and games in there. Also, you've got pixels that don't line up at all, and you've got things poping out above other things, such as the statue above the tree in this picture:


Also, as seen in that screen, you enlarged some tiles to 200% size while leaving others at the normal 100%. This means that for every 200% tile you've got, you have a square of 2X2 of the exact same pixel color.

Lastly, that snow effect looks like it sucks.

Graphically, this looks like one of the sloppiest games I've ever seen on this site. If you put this little effort into at least making the game look pretty or original, I'd hate to see how little effort you put into making the actual game.

[DragonBlaze]

I used to use that game engine, but it sucks big time. I don't think this game will turn out good if for no other reason than the system you use to make the game is really bad itself.
