Alganon – Day 0

Posted by: Matthew on Wednesday, April 28, 2010

These days I don’t do too much PC gaming but yesterday I saw an advertisement for a new MMORPG called Alganon; it was 20 bucks so I decided to give it a try.

Now firstly the game runs like crap on my laptop which doesn’t say much for the engine the game is build on. I can play Age of Conan on it which looks light years ahead of Alganon and the framerate is much better. Game performance aside I’m enjoying the new world that I’m exploring.

I’ve noticed on a bunch of different forums a huge amount of negativity about the game, especially since the interface and work look very similar to World of Warcraft. Some of the critisism is fair, there are parts of the interface that look EXACTLY like they were taken from Warctraft, but in the end who cares. The world is different, the quests seem to be quite good so far as well, there are less ‘Go Kill 15 Boar’ quests that your average MMO.

I’m going to start a running commentary of my experience in the world of Alganon, if you’ve tried it let me know what you think.
