AdventureQuest Worlds

I'd recommend this game maybe 10 years ago. Now? Not so much. You'd be better off going to Adventure Quest 3D. Even the best of the best Developers from back in the day abandoned this game to work on new games. And the Player base is small and there's terrible releases every Friday. A Decade Ago was probably the prime of this game now this game isn't even worth playing. You'd be better off finding something else.

Thank you for this article. I'd personally also like to talk about the fact that it can end up being hard when you are in school and merely starting out to establish a long credit standing. There are many individuals who are just trying to live and have a good or positive credit history can sometimes be a difficult point to have.

This game is ok. But I wouldn't recommend it. Why? As of now there's probably 4,000 people or so on the game's servers at best and that's just during peak hours. And in most of the rooms in the game people are usually afking (away from keyboard) or cheating by botting in the quests. I used to play this game during 2013 when this game was at it's peak it used to have 8,000 to 10,000 people on at best. AQW lost it's touch when it comes to story telling after the Chaos Saga ended. Otherwise I'd say this game is still alright. And the people who are high level and have rare items and ingame membership usually make fun of new players. (But this is usually common in most MMO's) but it's usually worse on AQW since mostly 4,000 people or so play this game so you run into bullies more often in AQW then you do in other MMO's. Do I still say AQW is a good game? As of today No. But back in 2010-2013 it was during the Chaos Saga and during the Dage vs Nulgath Wars. The AQW Devs lost their touch in telling Stories in this game. If they made better stories maybe people would come back. And it takes less then 5 mins to complete most storylines since they make short stories every week since that's just what AQW does. But it'd be nice to see big storylines more often. And some Storylines the AQW Dev's start and just forget about and never finish. They started some Storylines back in 2013 and never finished them or even tied up the lose ends. It's just a cliff hanger. They just stopped the storyline in the middle of the story and never return to it. Which is what I've been critical about when it comes to AQW when they make Storylines. At least tie up the loose ends just don't leave cliff hangers and don't stop in the middle of the story and go onto another storyline. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

The Adventure Quest World Developers have made some changes to their game since I last been on it since 2015. But it's still pretty horrible. The Weekly Event's on their Game used to be Great back in the early 2010's and 2008-2009 but now it's just pretty horrible. That's all I can say. And I do admit they are a cash grab MMO even though they say they aren't but nowadays it's like they push Microtransactions and Membership buys onto people much more aggressively then they did in the past. If I have to recommend any Artix Entertainment Games I'd recommend Dragonfable or the Original Adventure Quest. They aren't Multiplayer Games but they at least have decent Content on their Games. I wish I can recommend Mechquest but they pretty much gave up on that game they stopped updating that game years ago.

I like that Adventure Quest Worlds
#1 plays on my older laptop
#2 uses the mouse rather than wasd or arrows - I could never get the hang of that
#3 is not turn based

what I dislike is - now that I have plodded my way up to level 40 range in Free to Play
I am encountering more and more quests unlocked for Free to Play But requiring quest items Only available to Pay to Play folks

the other thing that can be confusing is how to figure out where to find the quest locations- not readily obvious in game
Upside- there are wiki posts for almost all that information

Games gone stale. Playerbase pretty much speaks volumes, or lack thereof.
Buyback shop is a complete rip off. Back in the day , if you had ac items (ac tagged items weren't applied to at this time) and wanted to buy more ac gear, you had to delete ac items to free up space if your back was full, especially if you wanted new sets. Years later, AE agree to let you store any ac items for free, also introduced the buy back shop with "Buy Back" being the operative word. Getting charged twice for items that wouldn't fit in our bank or bag because we were supporting AE by buying more ac gear, and they will not relent from letting players buy their ac items back for free. Huge rip off. They should of part charged us for items that were deleted after free storage for ac items was in effect. Allow players to get their ac items back from buy back for free.

Game is really really buggy. In solo boss fights, you are often unable to use a skill because the skill suddenly freezes. This is extremely frustrating in solo boss fights that take a long time. Once may be a coincidence but four times is just a pattern.

It's a pretty cute game. At first, it may not make sense, but after a while, when you get to know the game better, you will understand how to play and it'll get easier to play. All in all, i think it's one of the best games ever.

I love this game to be honest. There's a lot of fun things to do. But it would be nice if you can get more rep. That would be nice. I also wish that Void HighLord would take a long time to get. I also wish they could make it more fun by making more items for Non-members that were actually cool and not making so many pets member. Why make them member when no members buy them? Too me that is a waste. I wish you could buy rare items with real money. If you missed out on a class that you wanted it would be nice if we could do that. I really hope they come up with a trading system so other people could trade with each other. That would be dope. Overall i give the game a 9.5/10.

After playing other games from other companies for a few years I only have a few things I want to put in this review. I wish I quit AQWorlds and all Artix Entertainment Games sooner. AQWorlds has a small Community,Repealed Dungeons,Most of their Content is locked,Lack of Customer Support,Lot's of Bugs and Glitches that shouldn't really be there since this is game is a finished product.

There are some benefits to AQWorlds like being able to play it on the PC and the decent storylines. But I haven't seen much good storylines since the Chaos Storyline ended.

I get why most of the content of locked since Artix Entertainment needs money but asking for Adventure Coins and Membership and still locking alot of the events and items seems greedy. I'd like to see more items in the rare shops for nonmembers and people who want to buy items for gold instead of adventure coins.

But if I had to rate Adventure Quest Worlds and all of Artix Entertainment Games as of now I'd probably rate them 2/10 and I'm only giving them 2 stars because I like that they didn't shut down the PC ports of their games like every other company seems to be trying to do otherwise I'd give them a 1/10 star for horrible customer service and horrible quality of games.

Star: 4/5 (Cool Game)

I've seen a lot of negative reviews for AQW, but honestly, despite the flaws and non stop pop culture references, i really like it. It's fun, it's challenging enough to get a sense of victory when you beat a difficult boss, and it has a unique style that stays consistent throughout the entire game. Personally, I think it's an overall good game.

whatttt???

This game use to be enjoyable until the devs got money hungry. Seriously, this game is nothing but "who has the best armor" now or "who has the newest OP class that we pull out of our asses" just something to suck money from the suckers that pay (and yes, I was one of those suckers for a while) The forums still suck,the mods just out right don't give a damn, AQW preaches "fair play" yet there are still people that ruin the game through botting and one would think after a while someone at Artix entertainment would figure out how to defeat the unbeatable "Le Bot" that is the most used on the game. The other major problem is excessive grinding. I don't mind a game that makes you work hard for certain drops but AQW abuses it to the max with 1% drop rates on weapons and armors (which really don't do anything to boost your characters skills in any way) and the Nulgath items and quests are huge time suckers if you want any armor or weapon from his quests meaning you gotta cough up real world money to get the required pets which are expensive as hell with AC's. If you're an adult wanting to play this game then get ready to be surrounded by a bunch of kids since it is mostly kids and teenagers that flock to that game. Other annoying issues include:

Horrible PvP (both group and 1 on 1) which are both pretty much dead.
Too much grinding
Botters everywhere
Too many people standing around that are AFK
Too many paid "Legend" players that are lazy and outright rude who don't like helping non-members with quests or boss battles
Lazy players in general who refuse to help with said battles or forming groups
Dress up game mostly
Takes too long to level up due to not having enough quests, bosses, enemies that have high exp rates
Pay to play: Normally I don't have a problem with it if there are good things to get and it is properly balanced but AQW is pay to play to get pointless stuff)
If you do pay and get special classes, armors ect..ect as soon as your membership runs out they are too stupid to let you use what you bought therefor you either need to renew your membership or sell the member items you got
Mods that are lazy and unhelpful and if you apply to be a mod (which is rare they put out applications for the position) they only bring in personal friends
Far too many 1% drop rate B.S. (especially Binky if you got the hardcore paragon pet)
Weapons and armors don't boost character stats
Leveling up barely raises your stats. I have seen too many low level players with OP classes take down higher players including paid members so getting max level or being a paid member is kinda pointless

I've been playing AQW since around the time it came out. I took a lot of breaks, like I'd play it for a week, then leave it for two weeks, play it for a month, leave it for two months, etc. Eventually I picked it up started playing it more often around 2010. Some of my best years playing AQW were the early years, and from 2013 to 2015, but the those final years were only enjoyable because I was always playing with a friend (and it was just a little bit before super OP classes). I will say that the fanbase has plummeted immensely, and the new classes coming out are just more OP than the last. To this day, sometimes I still get on and check things out, but there is not much left for me to do, me and my friend no longer play, and everything is so easy, so the game has become boring to me. So what to take from this: AQW has gone down a lot, and the moderators currently, for lack of a better word, "overseeing" AQW don't seem to be making many wise choices to keep it going. The only reason I actually enjoyed playing it so long was because I had someone to play it with, but with new OP classes it becomes obsolete, and then the game become boring.

The game is ok. But the forum is a piece of shit !! The moderators are bad. They remove all the old messages. The forum is a piece of crap, they never listen to what users say. This game is given up, now they moved to mobile phones smartphones version, so the browser version is dead now, given up....The main problem is the forum and that the develppers never listen to the user. Like the 3 monkeys : dont listen, dont see, dont hear. Game is shit now. It used to be good a long time ago.

I'm not a fan of this game anymore because the devs were great at what they did then the crash of adobe flash happened and alot of AE staff members either quit the company or went to different projects which is sad since I liked some of them. But I know adobe flash is still used but its a dying software but what I'm saying is AQWorlds would be great on mobile I seen what it was capable on a mobile device if the devs would port it over to mobile maybe on a different software if possible and get more staff back on this game they might be able to get players back. I've checked how many players been on recently and I was shocked when I seen alot of players stopped playing around 5,000 players were online when I last logged on. When I last logged on a few years back there were over 20,000 players and it was fun times back then. People might disagree with me but I think they are going overboard with the membership and adventure coins sure they need money since they are an indie dev studio but sucking money out of people every month and selling inventory slots and bank slots and house slots? Seems kinda cash grabby in my opinion no offense AE I love your games but your games feel kinda cash grabby I wish AQ3D wasn't cash grabby either but it already feels like it is with the current set up it has and I'm sure people will disagree with me on that to but it's true and I know AQ3D is in open beta but just go look at it is all I'll say. But about AQWorlds my only thing I wanna say even though my suggestion is likely gonna be ignored is stop with the spam of rare items and spam of classes. The game has enough classes and the rare items doesn't need to be spammed in the game every freakin week. It's probably just me saying this but weekly releases is probably what sent AQWorlds down the hole but I think AQWorlds should have releases every 2 weeks or once a month so you got time to test it and ect and the rest of the month or 2 weeks you can use that for your other games or fixing glitches and bugs in the game.

I've recently done a Let's Play of this game for some of my younger fans, and this is my feedback based on 20+ years of MMO/MMORPG experience.

On the bright side, the game is vivid and bright. The designers obviously spend a great deal of time on armors, weapons and scenery. Moreover, I absolutely love the idea of having multiple classes available to each Player Character. The way that they implement this is unique, and allows anyone to switch from tank to DPS or heals as they feel like it. It's easy, and there's no tedious re'speccing. I'd like to see more of this in other MMO's.

The initial 13 Lords of Chaos story, whilst hardly original, was nonetheless moderately interesting, with a few plot twists. Some of the bosses actually had mechanics, which is something I was not expecting from a 2-d Adobe game. It provided loads of story content, and it was fairly easy to go in order, given how everything was numbered 1-13.

From then on, however, I feel that this MMO had little to offer. The other stories were boring, lacking in substance, depth, and sustainability. It was very difficult to find in which order all of later storylines were supposed to be played. They were filled with pointless dialogue and corny jokes, even for a game geared towards younger audiences. As a developer, AE Entertainment also needs to learn to stop including self-inserts as major NPC's. It's annoying, especially given how the NPC's imply they are the developers/talk as the developers, and the devs should be more detached in that way. It's unprofessional.

Next we get to the combat system. It's not horrid, given what they're working with, but neither is it very good. There are only 5 basic abilities + several passives, to minimize ability bloat. That's understandable and maybe even acceptable, given the target audience.

It's not acceptable, however, to have DoT's, HoT's, buffs and debuffs, and not include a buff/debuff bar on or around the character icons. The only way to tell if they've worn off or if you have buffs for procs applied is by tiny little messages around the bodies of characters and enemies, telling when buffs/debuffs are applies, and a different one when they wear off. Given the two-dimensional nature of the game, other enemies or characters can block these from view.

You can't remap keybindings, and they use and awkward click system like Runescape for movement, instead of WASD. The Map feature has some of the worst implementations and most awkward design I've ever seen. In quests that you must pick things up in, you often are unable to do so. Quests are lost upon logout.

This is also a game clearly designed more towards PvE than PvP. AE has tried to force PvP in to satisfy players, but it just doesn't work, partly because some of their bosses have so many HP. In a game where no-one has more than 5k HP in PvP, and you can get criticals around 100k, it just doesn't work. The classes are completely imbalanced, with some doing an insane amount of damage, and other feel like hitting other players with a wet noodle. Moreover, it is the "extra classes", which must be purchased either with IRL money by way of buying merchandise, or an obscene amount of AC's (in-game currency which you also pay for IRL money for.), which are the most absurdly overpowered. Subscription alone does not suffice; Artix Entertainment has literally implemented a P2W game model for PvP. If the game was completely F2P, that would be one thing, but Subscribers/Members ('Upgrades') should not have to fork over additional cash just to be competitive in PvP.

All in all, I would give this game a 2/5. It had a somewhat interesting premise a class system, but it is simply to primitive and poorly implemented. Moreover, it seems to be on its way downhill.

Questline doesn't justify the the class. AE is always releasing op classes better then the last class release. How do they justify the requirements. Grind Grind Grind for items that don't equal the reward. Requirements are over the top. Congrats to those that take this on.
• Level 50
• 1 Hadean Onyx of Nulgath (in tercessuinotlim)
• 1 Voucher of Nulgath (non mem)
• Complete an insane quest worthy of Nulgath the ArchFiend

1 void A
4 Roentgenium of Nulgath (Roentgenium of Nulgath ...1% drop rate)
Unidentified 10 – 200
Gem of Nulgath – 150
Dark Crystal Shard – 200
Tainted Gem – 200

1 Void B
Diamond of nulgath -200
Blood gem of the archfiend – 30
Totem of nulgath – 15
Elders blood – 2

So this class release is only targeted at a few, rather then generating gameplay for the hoard.

Thread just got locked on AE forums Q&A

I've been playing this game since feburary 2009. I've seen this game reached it peak and slid right down hill. The game itself is just bad now and is not worth the time playing. They're just money hungry and does not care for their player base. I thought nexon support was bad but when it comes to artix entertainment support team, its nothing but a horrible joke. They just simply do not care about their player base and at least at nexon they may compensate. Aqw can now rot.

I've been a member of this game for 7 years and gave it up a few months ago as it got boring and a waste of time (even though I'd probably only use it only for a few hours a week). As I have seen over the years, the numbers of players playing this game has gone down dramatically and the mods don't pay enough attention to player suggestions on making the game better or fixing annoying bugs/glitches. It would be nice to see a lot of things changed to make the game more fun and easier to use but I doubt that would be happening anytime soon.

So many whiny lil cunts, princesses, no1 owes you a good game, pull the stick out of your arse.

I am going to write this from my experience with the game. I started in 2010 and that was one of the biggest peaks AQW has ever reached. I would take breaks from the game and the breaks kept getting longer and longer. The reason why is because the game was starting to not be as fun to play anymore. The playerbase kept going down as time went on. In the past years, there would be about 4 to 5 servers that were FULL. Nowadays, the only server that is full is Artix.

Secondly, the community is not that great. There are a whole bunch of botters, players that think they are better than others since they have more badges, rare items and classes and don't get me started on those players that AFK at Yulgar's Inn.

All in all, this game isn't bad but it gets boring after awhile. The weekly releases are wierd and all over the place. It's hard to know what's going on. Also you reach a point where you get to a high level and have a bunch of cool items and classes but you just get damned bored of the game. The quests and storylines are decent, but most players play the game to get items and classes. This game is pretty much a dress up game that gets old. The coolest looking items are member-only or AC only. Also to farm or grind for an item faster, you need to spend real life money. I spent about $20.00 to buy a pet that makes farming WAY easier. But from my experience, the total of about $250.00 that I spent on this game was not worth it. Once you grind and get your item, class or whatever, you get tired of it and move on to the next cool thing and grind for that. It just repeats again and again. You just waste a ton of time grinding for items that you are just going to get tired of after awhile.

But if you are rich or have a lot of money, knock yourself out and play the game. But for others who don't want to waste money on a game, I wouldn't recommend playing AQW. Yeah, free players can get just as strong as people who spend real life money on the game, but the game is even more BORING if you don't spend real life money on the game. Most free items don't look nearly as good as items that cost AC's or are Legend-only.

I actually just made a new account about 3 days ago and got to level 28 but got bored and decided to quit once again. The game is just not the same as it used to be. Also as people have commented previously, Adobe Software may be shutdown in major browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox in the next year or so and Artix Entertainment might not do anything about it.

I have to say that I am glad that I quit AQW. It is not worth my time or money and I am much better off without it. I am also 18 years old now and the game is not really fit for my age group. I would say AQW is for 14 and under audiences. I know this review is a little messy and a bit biased but I hope you learned something valuable from it. Thanks for reading this review, and I wish you the best of luck in life and everything that you do. Cheers. =)

Im a old player, since April 2009 that i joined... and i was waiting a "meh" game jaja but no... this was really great, nice history line, cinematics where you character with all the equipment that you have appear... and when they put music on maps it was so much better!! these times :D .... these times... now, so many toxic players calling himselfs "pro" because they have rare items... that is stupid :p not valuable if you dont like them, and so many charpage badges that you can get paying some irl money... the game need something new, it cant die T-T i really love it, so good... but now the comunity are tiny... 3-8k and i remember those servers full, 15k+ players online... i give it 7/10, and i think that in some months will be 5/10 if they dont do something to save the game

Honestly I been mauling over this for past 9 months about their support team. I feel like I was unfairly IP banned. All I did was request an account disable through the help pages. The help pages say we can request it by emailing support if we wanna disable our upgraded account. I did and all they did was try making up excuses and tell me stuff to try to convince me to keep it. Sure I could of just stop using it and come back later like they mentioned even other players mentioned that. But I wanted it disabled since I was quitting forever and they were acting like I was dumb and saying they don't do stuff like that. I even showed them proof on the help pages they don't even know their own rules. Sure I did break their rules to get myself banned since their incompetent support team refused to help me. But then they decided to IP block me and accused me of harrassing moderators. All of this could of been avoided if they accepted my request. I wasn't even asking for money back either and if they don't disable upgraded account's then it shouldn't even be listed on their website in the first place. I tried contacting them on social media but no one listened. I tried making a new account with a new IP since once in a while I try to revisit the game to see what's changed and they keep banning me most likely because they IP banned me. Forgive me if this is a rant but I had to review their game. The game is great and fun to play though and the chaos saga is fun I do admit that and I do love the 12-12-12 event with kezeroth the world ender and the 11-11-11 event with desoloth. I did like the 2nd saga but I was disappointed when they released the throne of darkness saga I thought that saga was awful. I honestly don't think the rewrite will help revive the game but hopefully it will bring back some functionality to the game. Besides the horrible events thats been releasing since the chaos saga AQWorlds is pretty nice. The worst thing to do is talk to their support team they don't seem to care about you except your money. Also one other thing I wanted to say I think it's sad how all the good AE staff either left this game to AQ3D or AE mobile team or left AE entirely. I mean AQWorlds could of had potential if it didn't have weekly releases and more structure and they actually fixed bugs instead of leaving them rot for months on end in my opinion. One of the things that this game really needs fixed is the PVP content that really needs fixed in my opinion the pvp in this game is horrible you would be better off avoiding PVP until they rebuild it or if they even bother rebuilding it.

I been reading the news on this game since I've quit since the toxic community and really awful player support. I wanted to mention they seem to be going through a rough time right now. Shutting down certain servers and this server rewrite I'm not sure if it will improve the game or not but if it does they would be crazy not to advertise and hire more staff members. But the bad part is they lost alot of staff members during the past year even the real important ones for reasons I feel I shouldn't mention in this review. But they are also planning a AQW mobile app which I think might be a bad idea but who knows how it will turn out. But I think they should hire some more staff members and stop relying on volunteers over 90% of their staff members seems to be volunteers which is why I don't think the game will ever be 100% which is sad since The 2 main sagas and a few other storylines is great. But the flood of rare items is bad they seem to flood rare items ingame every week which ruined the game it feels like a paid 2 win game and it also feels like a dress up game which is why I don't play it anymore. But I do admit it has some amazing saga storylines. But there are alot of storylines I wouldn't recommand like the throne of darkness saga but I got my own reasons why I don't like it I'd still suggest checking it out maybe you might like it.

Toxic community,half completed questlines they jump from the main saga to a random event and sometimes takes them a while to return to the main saga. They release so many rares ingame it's not even funny so many classes with reused skills the 1st saga was ok but the 2nd saga is dumb AE has seriously lost their touch they seem to be looking towards the younger audiences. And this game is clearly a pay 2 win game reguardless what Artix Entertainment says because paid players tend to get things quicker by buying membership or adventure coins. Right now their playerbase is dying due to this being a flash based game and probably due to all the other reasons I listed above. The ingame staff is corrupt on this game it's all I'm gonna say some of them are friendly I will admit but some of them can be pretty corrupt probably because Artix Entertainment has alot of their staff members on volunteer status but that's just my opinion. They also need better customer service. When they reply sometimes they are helpful but they are also awful at their job. Sometimes they don't even try to work with you they don't even disclose who they are ingame so you can talk to them better and so you can report them if you have lots of trouble with them. But I'd recommand any other game besides AQWorlds or Artix Entertainment game.

I wasn't planning on commenting on this game but I really felt like I had to for several reasons. This game really is not worth playing at this point. If your playing it I would recommand quitting. The game is dying and the game is built in adobe flash player which is currently slowly dying off. Google is even trying to slowly kill off the adobe flash player software in the google chrome browser but if you wanna learn more about it search it up yourself but Back to the topic about AQWorlds. The community is toxic and they put so many rares ingame per week and release really dull and boring events. I'd say since the chaos saga ended they lost touch with what they been doing with the game. They haven't even hit a dent in what the 2nd saga of AQWorlds is I mean we know what it's called but they haven't really hit a dent in what it's about just alot of filler and boring events. The customer service team is awful I wouldn't even rate them 1 star if it was possible I'd rate them negative 5 stars because they are really awful. During the time I played AQWorlds they weren't much help and when I went to disable my account and their website said they disable upgraded accounts by request they made it a huge thing and afterwards I ended up being permanently banned and IP blocked which is easy to get around if I want back on AQWorlds but not really going to since that game sucks badly. I do admit it was great back in the day but it got ruined when they introduced modern day tech and sifi stuff and space ships and motorcycles and ect. It doesn't even feel like an adventure MMO like it did when I first joined now it just feels like a paid 2 win dress up game. Also while I'm commenting here I wanna say it doesn't help that botters have taken over the game and the devs aren't really doing much to fight them off which I'm not suprised since more then half of the playerbase is obviously botting. The way they make farming for endgame content is stupidly impossible to do nowadays it takes like 6-12 months maybe even years just to farm 1 item and if your farming constantly if you got no life you would probably get it sooner. There is so many things they used to do which was fun in AQWorlds which has now been neglected due to how short staffed their team is which is one of the huge reasons why I left the 2nd reason was due to the pay 2 win asspect. But all I gotta say is if the server rewrite they are finally working on that they been talking about since 2012-2013 doesn't help the game's playerbase grow then this games probably gonna die off like the rest of Artix entertaiments games.

It a good idea for a game but I hate it because of greed. It all based off of monthly membership and for f2p players it basically not even worth playing as there nothing good at all and it literally unfair. I recommend any of the other games that you pay once and you get all benefits. Adventure Quest Worlds will die soon as any game that relies off of money will die eventually because people dont like greed.

Hi,
I find the game very bad...why ?
It's complicated, the menu has too many options...
In the adventures, you never know when it begins and it ends, and don't know how to go back to the scenario...you are left on your own with a map and stuff to do, but don't know where to start or what to do.
The interaction between players is almost non existing, nobody answers you, adding friends is useless in the game.
The forum is bad, the moderation is bad, they dont let people express themselves like a dictatorship.
The game is repetitive, almost always the same thing.
And last but not least, the quests are not explained, they tell you do this, you don't know where to go, what to do...

Id give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars at the Alina Era, 4.6 during the Cysero & Artix Lead Aqw Era
Pros:
-Fun original art
-Fun PvP (Especially at Safiria server)
-Fun if you are a member
-Friend System
-Weekly release
-Great 1st story (13 lords of chaos arc)
-Somehow funny
-Massive adventure (massive enough to consume your time)
Cons:
-SHRINKING FANBASE (used to be 19-30k players playing every saturday, now theres only 4-12k)
-The New Class designers (RUINED THE GAME FROM OP CLASSES)
-Money Consuming (Understandable since its the only source of money that the company gets)
-Unfair Class system (OP and non-OP)
-Rare System
-Enhancements system
-no Trading system
-Useless House system
-Guild system (Also useless)
-Fanbase (most players act immature)
-Really Bland 2nd story arc (Queen of Monsters arc)
-Pay to enjoy
JUST MY OPINION CONS:
-Reputation system (pretty much started the notting issue)
My Experience:
THE BEGINNING - I started back in mid 2010 at august during the August 2010 friday the 13th event, I was really enjoying the fun releases every week, i was pretty much failing or having low grades that time because of the Awesome game, to summarise, it was one of the best days of AQW, simple yet fun..
THE PEAK OF AQWORLDS - During 2011 was some of the funnest events EVER… I mean Ctrl+Alt+Del was really fun with many rewards for free players, Shamrock Fair with the New Evolved Leppy class, and especially They Might be Giants event (The best in my opinion) which taught me the meaning of patience just to get a class. The 2011-2012 days was simply MAGICAL.
THE ALINA ERA - early 2013 was still decent, fun releases…. but slowly the fun was taken over by realisticity, it was never fun but simple anymore, but more of a serious mmorpg approach during the early alina era…. also my first time paying as a member which is why i can’t really define those days precisely since i was enjoying my membership perks…. but i felt it… the shrinking of the fan base (only 15-28k players compared to the 20-30k during 2010), the boringness of the next few releases at the late 2013s to early 2014s, only thing that was fun was the Wheel of Doom release, which gave hope to free players…
FADING AND SLOWLY FORGOTTEN - I QUIT….. Early to mid 2014 I realised how boring AQW has become because of Alina…. AND THE ADDITION OF ZERELDO AND THE NEW CLASS DESIGNERS (WHO RUINED THE GAME BECAUSE OF THEIR OP CLASSES) I even almost gave my account away, but oh well….. it was my childhood. The 13 lords of chaos arc finale gave me a nostalgia feeling it was one of the few things during those times that made me enjoy the game again.. aside from the Return of The Devs Release. it was boring bland and messy…. it was not enjoyable anymore, but a show off your rares to be cool game.
MY RETURN - Late 2015 to this day…. I replayed the game, only 4-10k players playing… i pretty much feel a bit lonely, now the game is mainly for pVping at Safiria and showing off your rares, but right now i feel like quitting it again.
CONCLUSION:
I don’t recommend you playing it….. but heres a thing…. GIVE AQ3D A TRY. period.

It's an awesome game, worth the effort. You can enjoy wide variety of maps, buy items, houses, pets and much more! It also has player verus player functionality, in-game chat, story-mode, awesome quests, rare-items, join guilds, soo much more. I began playing it and I'm hooked!

This used to be my name in-game but I deleted my account because it wasn't worth the money because you can burn acs or in-game money you have to buy through real money and memberships... I used to be the best 1v1 as I could beat anyone with membership and 5 levels higher than me which was the max level with at least 4 different classes including blaze binder, pyromancer, artifact hunter, and alpha omega and I had nearly every non-member item except most legion items and only owned `1 juggernaut item and it took me 5-6 years to get all reputation classes including the items... Its only a good game when you started beta as you have the best items

This game is one of the best i played, i played it for 3 years and i'm still playing it. Is simple and funny. Is the only game i didn't regret wasting my money. Even if you pay nothing you can still enjoy it fully. Is very good.

it's awesome

AQWorlds is by far my favorite computer game. I think I've been playing since 2009 and I'm still loving it today. I find that the mechanics of the game are really simple and easy to understand. In other games you have stuff like fusing items and overly complicated ways to make your character strong but all you do in AQ is enhance items. There are weekly releases, each more creative than the one before and epic armors coming out almost everyday. Sure, most of them are only for a limited time but that's the point. I've read reviews where the only thing people seem to care about are the rare items that you can't get anymore. Well there's more to the game than just cool armor. The story in AQWorlds is intriguing with a hint of dorky humor, the perfect combination for a light hearted play. The art looks like something a 15 year old could maybe draw but sometimes they surprise you with amazing armors like the naval commanders. Honestly I don't think this game gets enough credit. I've been playing it since I was in Kindergarden so I've pretty much grown up playing this game. In all, AQWorlds is an amazing game but that's just my opinion. Everyone else can just rage on about rare items.

AQW has really improved in the past few years there so many cool non-mem items u can get now then before so what are u waiting for play now btw my acc name is Kaiser The Knight

I get really annoyed when people say crap about membership(though I agree that most of the items are ac items) either AQ worlds is more of a rare hunting game or in other words to have all the rares and to be successful you have to work for it true most PERMANENT classes are for rep but that goes back to working for it the member ship(Legends) and AC are mostly just short cuts but I can understand those who quit the game because it's boring, that's because they have to makes events every week most of these events/releases aren't very interesting because there's nothing to get out of it because it's too short. I play AQ semi regular I check the DNs regularly to see if there's anything worth my time.

I am playing this game for 5 years. I still love this game. AQWorlds is best game ever!!! (Crazy Frog, this game is not only for members-legends, I played this game for 4 years withount member...)

Its an awesome game if u know how to play this game ... just the thing is that its hard to find the good guide for the newbies .... My char name is hokage_candidate..... c u in alina server hehe

Actually, AQW is a pretty decent game. For the players who think that there isn't anything to do except for quests, maybe you skipped through all the storyline? The storyline is pretty funny and new events get added every week. Yes, you might get bored by grinding and doing quests all the time, but that's just how it works. Like any other MMORPG, AQW has quests that you need to complete to carry on with the story. Why complain about this game when there are plenty of games just like it?
Also, AQW has plenty of classes to choose from, unlike most MMORPGs that restricts you to your starter class. Some classes are harder to get, requiring tons of effort and time to get, but at the end it is worth the while.

Great game I can't think of anything particularly bad to say about it even as a free user it is just harder to get strong gear but overall it is a nice game and good way to pass the time for any casual gamer.

I've been playing this game since it was released, while taking longer breaks from it on occasion. Last year however, I decided to quit, sometimes logging in to see if they added anything interesting, or fixed things up. Every time I did that, I logged out with disappointment. I decided to write about the game, in case you are interested in it, and to share my thoughts. Skip to the last paragraph if you are too lazy to read.

Months after the game launched in its primitive state, the developers added new areas and quests, including the beginning of a main storyline (which is quite awful, but not many play MMORPGs for such things), and with these additions, both paying and non-paying players got a selection of items to buy or earn. While the gameplay mostly remained the same, with this content and the growing number of new accounts, the game became rather enjoyable for casual players. It was fun to play on a weekly basis to see the new content and to make some friends, and just like other simple games, most players didn't log in everyday.

AE decided to make some changes to keep the playerbase engaged by re-balancing old classes, and introducing attributes. You can increase them by applying enchantments to your equipped items. There are different types of scrolls which make enchanting possible, and they could be bought by anyone with in-game currency. This added an opportunity for players to experiment with them and to find the most effective builds. While paying members could buy slightly superior scrolls, the difference was never too significant. Later on, new classes were added, but to earn those, you are required to farm, or to buy the class with ACs (in-game currency you can purchase with real money). While buying it is quicker, earning the class by playing is a better choice as many other items are unlocked during the process. Of course, new cosmetic items which also required farming were introduced as well. They are all tied to one NPC in the game, who is "hidden", and has to be found in a cave with multiple paths. Many of the quests which players have to do require them to beat the main storyline's bosses, so while end-game characters could get new items, newbies could get help killing more difficult mobs. Among these new updates, there is also the possibility to play PvP in teams. After each match, everyone earns a certain number of trophies which can be merged for more items. To me, these were the best days of the game. The new additions made the community better, and made it more satisfying to get new items.

As time passed, however, everything that was once an improvement made the game worse with each update. Unnecessary types of enchantments were added (which are not used by anyone for the most part), along with more new classes which require grinding. Some of them are mediocre and unnecessary, while others are simply overpowered, allowing players to solo the majority of areas in the game. Since most people got these classes after a while, eventually the community began to fall apart, with an increasing number of players going to private rooms and soloing the content, rather than playing with others. Most people got bored of the team PvP mode, and play 1v1 instead. Unless you get lucky, or have plenty of friends to play with, you are not going to be able to find matches anymore. The farming for items got out of hand with the addition of quests which waste the players' time by not giving them anything most of the time. By making these things more tedious, the number of bot users increased. One of the best parts of farming was talking to others while doing it, but now, most players do not respond, as they are not even playing the game themselves. AE eliminated some hacking programs, but they're not doing anything about this problem, other than telling players not to do it. The theft of accounts also became common, and while it is sad to see that the community dropped down to this level, the team behind AQW is really helpful when you wish to get your account back, often returning it in a day or two.

Needless to say, I quit the game after a while. Today, I logged into my account, and saw that the number of players online is half of what it used to be. There is a ridiculous amount of new classes, and the game is throwing free items at you for owning the account. While they look nice and all, they are meaningless, and take away the challenge of getting them. Most areas are unpopulated, with most players botting at a farming spot, or hanging out at the inn, being edgy teenagers with their virtual harems or whatever the hell they are doing.

Honestly, I would only recommend this game if you don't have a good computer or gaming system, and are looking for something to play online. It is very simple compared to other MMOs, with limited PvP, and a meaningless guild system. You don't need to spend money either, as even free accounts have plenty of options. The advantages paying players get are rather minor, and this is not a game you should play if you want to play against others anyway. I'd recommend using the rogue class, and looking up a guide if you need it, because it is a decent solo class for beginners.

Alright, hey there, I'm Alpha. Some of you may know me in game, i don't know. Anyways, I had to post something here, because some people are seriously saying nonsense.

P2W ? NOT AT ALL. I've been playing AQW for 1 year, and paying only gives you the stuff easier. Of course, there's stuff reserved to member, and AC tagged items. But if there wasn't, why would you be paying for? For example, classes. Let's say...necromancer. It's a pretty good solo class, and you can take 2 mins and buy it. Or take ONE DAY to farm until rank 10. ''Liar?'' you say, I've got doomwood rank 10 here, in 20 hours, so about a day. Of course, not all at once. Hard stuff eh? ._.

Hard to level up? Members get one quest that gives 10k xp and gold. All right, thats op. But there's still those xp boosts that you can get from Wheel of Doom/Destiny (it's gone now lol)

''They support scamville with their so called “Free Acs” deals'' -Nyan guy. You made me laugh. I've personnally earned 1k AC's with the offers (and I have friends take got over 10k.) They created 4 of those because of the finale storyline, idiot. Watch the cutscenes before saying nonsense.

RT69, How does Dage made the game crap? It made it cooler, with the Dage vs Miltonius war, for example. In my whole 1 year spent on AQW i did not recieve any insults. Maybe you're unlucky. But then, don't say every player is like this.

Maybe that's about it...e-e

If you say ''takes too much time'' check around internet or ask players about faster ways to get rep, for example. If you see me, don't hesitate to ask :)

I play and enjoy AQW, and I personally feel that the "pay to win" argument is exaggerated. Its true, member items and AC items are cooler, and this is on purpose, because, HOW ELSE ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO MAKE MONEY?? Sure, ads bring in money, but who doesn't want to make a little more cash? Also, the truly best items require hard work. Most people aren't willing to dedicate a little time towards the game, so they don't get the rewards. Then, they go on sites like these, then whine and complain about how unfair the game is. If you dedicate enough time to rant on about how bad the game is, you have enough time to farm. "Oh , but farming is boring!" Nothing in life is ever easy. You know the part of the job you don't like? That's called WORK. Why do you do that? to get a reward! Even if you don't enjoy the gameplay, you at least have to give the storyline some credit! Completely new storyline, and I find it easy to follow the plot. All in all, AQW is a very good no-download game.

whats the best class in the beginning?

It is an okay game until you realize that it is just a game for making them money. Sure, most of the game is free and you can do almost anything in the game for free until you find that over 98% of the game requires you to get the Members upgrade. There are 2-3 pets you can get without needing to get the member upgrade, over 98% of the weapons require you to get AC (Adventure Coins) or getting member upgrades, over 92% of the classes require the same, unless you get the reputation classes, then a lot of the armor, helms, class designs, or back items require the exact same thing. They will come out with some little things to keep the free players happy but anything major or seemingly fun they will put out specifically for members. Even some of the normal quests for free players will have member rewards which will make you think that, Hey, maybe they are helping us free players out for once, only to find out that you can't do anything with the items at all, forcing you to throw out or sell the items for next to nothing. The forums are even worse b/c when you put up something complaining or asking help for something, the people on there will bash you non-stop, not actually taking the time to read what you have asked help for or actually are complaining about, taking about half a second to read a part of it, making the impression that everyone on the forums are almost completely illiterate or just too stupid or lazy to read what you really meant. All in all, this game is way more of a waste of time than any other game I have seen, mainly b/c of how much the game is for members than anything and how much the free players are seen as just a sideshow for members to feel special, thinking they are better than the free players just b/c they pay for the perks.

I spend over $250 to play this game. now more sick

This game is pay to win not most but like 30 classes is only member and thats is bad .
You can farm some reputations 3 days to get class . And that is little bit bad . (Sorry for my english )

this is the aqw 2009 you MUST see the game how is it today you ganna love it i am only 37 level(legion overlord!)wait to see how i am gonna LOVE it when i will be 60 level( is very hard on this game to level up)

Someone necessarily help to make seriously posts I might state. That is the very first time I frequented your website page and up to now? I surprised with the research you made to make this actual post extraordinary. Fantastic activity!

i used to really love this game a while back but now i consider to be pretty bad
main reason i think its inferior is that all the weapons deal the same damage except ones u need real money for. there was no point in working hard to buy the normal weapons cause they were all the same once u enchanted them
op classes like necromancer ruined the game for me though
once i got necro i could solo almost every boss in the game i havent played in a while so i dont know what new chaos lords are there but i could easily solo the ones that were there before
i even soloed the void dragon which was stronger than most of the other bosses at the time
the game was practically singleplayer and it felt really boring to just not have to take advantage of the multiplayer and just solo everything

actually there are a few classes without rep that are good btw it is easy for me to rep any class I want if you are patient it is kinda fun

it was fun before but now every thing is for members (they started to call their members LEGENDS)
this is a pay to win game u need to play for like a month to get 1 of the good classes the first four classes are for noobs the cool classes are very hard to and needs alot of time but its easy to get for who pays for the game this not a fair game at all

uh word of god u gonna reply ever

uh god of words u gonna reply ever

the underworld will decide weither it is balanced or not my decision is it is not balanced it is awesome except for classes you have to buy outside of the game

This game is not bad.Balanced,fun(with friends) but dev's just make money with those who wanna be fashion (and there is MANYYYYYYYY of them).

sorry could not reply for a while too busy working on aq3d 20 million people do play the game and no there are not over 20k accounts there is around 11.3k so basically 10k and private servers are not too much people do play on them some enjoy some do not p.s new class dragon knight

there is also a new game aq3d 3d version not the same thing but 3d free chat as well and clans classes all of those things still beta testing

hey guys without classes the game is nothing

I agree with aqw rules and kind of god of words 20 million people do play play the game but there is over 20k accounts so both of you right in a way

hey loser god of words watch your dang a*s language before I make you.
before you say anything learn the concepts of the game it says 10+ over 20 million people play private servers and normal.
oh yeah forgot something 20+ play this game what kind of stupid games do you play.
1 more thing shut the hell up or should I laugh and make fun of how stupid you are.
remember to reply god of idiots
bye

There are way too many flaws in this game to list them all. I started playing this back in 2008 when it first came out. Back then, the absurdly bad mechanics were acceptable, because the game was in early stages.But now it's been almost 6 years since the game came out, and seeing that the game has gone NOWHERE in terms of gameplay, is disappointing.

Here are my major issues with AQWorlds:

-The class system in general sucks. Here's why:
You can purchase all the starter classes in shops, so the class selection screen is pointless.
Upgrade-only classes that have the exact same skillset as the starter classes.
There are overall too many classes in the game. There's probably 100+ of them by now.
The classes each have only 5 skills, as an excuse for spending time/money on getting more classes.
Little to no balance between classes. One class will be able to solo a level 100 20ft abomination, while the rest won't.

-Guilds. Guilds do nothing in this game. They have been out for like 2 years now and still have no purpose whatsoever. Most people you will see will probably be in guilds like ''Dark Overlord'' or ''Platinum Queen'' or some shit, just to look cooler or stand out.

-Equipment. Also does nothing, apart from making you look better. It doesn't matter if you're wearing an epic helmet made of a demon's skull or a freaking cardboard box on your head, you will get the exact same stats from either of them, granted you enhance them. Which brings me to my next issue...

-Enhancements. Pathetic excuse for making leveling-up worthwhile. You don't have to buy new weapons to deal more damage, just enhance your Ugly Stick (actual weapon from the game) to level 40 and you're good to go.

-Armor. It's useless. Enough said.

-Potions. Due to being introduced to the game so late, they're disregarded to the point of being considered ''cheating''.

-The community. Oh my, the community. If it isn't socially awkward teenagers, weeaboos, furries, bronies, white knights and other losers, it's little Brazilian/Filipino kids. And that shouldn't be a bad thing because this is a kids game, right? Well, you have too see it to believe it.

There are many more things wrong with the game, but there's only so much I can write before my fingers start bleeding and my patience runs out, so that's all I'll address for now.
So go ahead, play the game. It's terrible, but you can probably kill some time in it if you're into casual gaming. If you want a good game experience though, stay the hell away from it. Or don't. I don't care.

Feel free to tell me your thoughts on my rant, so I can laugh and make fun of how stupid you are.

//WORDOFGOD

its vre good game for Browser Game and funy I played it 5-6 years ago!

I played this game for years , I also do spend money on their memberships and ACs . Mainly , I just do it for the enhancements and classes . I dont care about the 'fashion' much . So I will give my view based on latest AQW (as free player).
1)TOO MUCH GRINDING . Way too much . To get from lvl 1 to lvl 60 , it'll take you like 3 or 4 months as free players . Then , you'll caught yourself on Reputations , there are atleast 10 Reputation that you will be focused as they will give you greater Classes . Doing their storyline will get you atleast to 5th Rank of the Rep but to get to maximum rank 10 will may take you A LOT of time like months of grinding (without boost or membership). After all that , you'll get yourself into grinding/farming your class into rank 10 , it takes at least a day to get a class to rank 10 .
2)SO BORING AND HARD . It will be boring without friends , so try to make some friends . The most popular hanging out place is full of "Away From Keyboard" players , which will make you having rough time to have fun with others . If you are low level , be wary , because most low level is hated because mostly people using low level account will beg or spam for spare account or account trade or free ac/member bluffing , so the higher level player will possibly just ignore you when you tried to have a conversation or need of a help .
3)FRUSTATING PVP . PVP is very fun things to do in most online games . But unlike some of the other games , this game PVP is VERY UNBLANCED , especially to free players . There are some factors that made this game pvp unblanced . FIrst is an item called medal , the item is meant to give you extra HP when pvping but only those who has membership would able to use higher tier of the medal , which mean they have more HP than free players does . Second , the classes . There are some classes in this game which is totally OP , so basically it meant it only take 1 or 2 skills to finish you off easily , most of this class cost real money or membership(MOST PLAYERS used this kind of classes which make me pissed off much) . But don't worry , with knowledge and skill , you still can beat them with starting classes , eventhough it hardly .

Awesome

AQWorlds is an awesome game check my char!:http://www.aq.com/aw-character.asp?id=irsyad%20nukman

When I registered in this game it was kind of fun but when I logged in again after one day it shows me same quests and I'm not getting any different quests. I don't understand what is so cool about this game...

I'm on my 7th account on AQW (lol i leave my accounts quick because i get bored) I'm level 4 there is nothing to get everything is member only on my other account when there was ninja class it was
only members i think people who would waste their money should pay or do what they want back
then this game was the best when i was 7 now i'm 9 and the game sucks because mostly stuff are
for members so lots of people leave i left my other accounts so i can start over and over again
because this was when i didn't have anything to do now all i do is play this game if i have nothing
better to do. If you have something better to do for now its a time waster by the way the new
things that come week are mostly for members and the girl clothing is rare but for each week
they might have stuff for girls.

AQW is awesome. Loads of armours, weapons, pets, classes and many different ways to level up and socialise like battling, chatting, PVPing, completing quests and minigames. The storyline is intriguing and cool, and AQW is just epic. Im level 43 right now, normally in cysero or twilly training in hyperium or in frost brawl or the new updated areas. If you find find me, say hi!

Hey anyone have a low level beta tester or member i would like to trade

The only most fun MMORPG game would be AQW. It doesn’t have auto-tracking system shit and you can custimize your avatar. Plus you can don’t do quests if you want to. The girl clothes are awesome but hard to find, and boys can get lots of cool gears and armours, that is, IF you know where to find. You can choose out of 4 classes and there are many more classes. Some are Legend (Requires Membership) and alot of others aren’t. Every week they update the game with new events and shops.
The prices for items are just right, you just got to keep on saving up for more gold.

I’m XxBoylayerxX in AQW (Most of the time at Twilly server) See if you can find me. I’m currently level 43 going to level 45 soon ^^.

its a good game.getting more classes i am a warrior and i bought a mage class how cool is that XD

Aqw is a good game at the start of the first month, I added a one year membership and it gets boring after all... Only quests and killing monsters, no need any skill, it attacks randomly LOL

PLZ READ!!!!!!!! IM THE PERSON CALLED METAL ENERGY, AND IF YOU ASK Y I HAVE 2 ACCOUNTS,ITS BECAUSE I FORGOT MY PASSWORD ON THE METAL ENERGY ACCOUNT, AND I CROSS MY HEART THAT METAL ENERGY IS MY 1ST ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!XDXDXDXDXD

Well im a 12 year old gamer and i played this game and i was glued to it and i also tried a 1-month membership and it went very well but you fell kinda retarded after the memberships gone and its hard to level up and it wont do very much but increase you Health and Mana.Not really recommended and if you like a games like these just wait for Artix to release the new 3rd dimensional version of Adventure quest worlds

Game is good but I left it from a long time tho most of the things are for members and it's the most grindy game I ever played.

yea right every thing is for members and with adventure coins many players r leaving the game for that reason thats why they started to write at there design notes to players telling them to invite all there friends in the game too bad if every thing wasnt for members that game will be good but for now it sux

just a small notice all the people you see in the pictures are members and if u r looking for a pet u need to be a member

the people who made this game are too greedy they r money lovers they dont care about the normal players they only care about there members and adventure coins users there was something called ballyhoo it rarley gives u 5 adventure coins but now after the new updates they removed it it doesnt give ac any more

Yeah, it's a good game. I started playing it in 2010 and quit in 2012. It's become such bullshit with a special currency and a membership. Yes there are a lot of updates but most of the time 90% of all the items are member or AC (Adventure Coins). It's geared towards little kids with parents who allow them to blow their money.

It's not fun anymore if you're not willing to spend money on it.

the game is cool i am in lvl32 now but this member stuff artix needs to stop it cool graphics aqw needs to be like dragon ball online

this game was good but they started to make every thing for members and coins its now pay2win nothing good for normal players

The game,to me is good, but it becoming sucks! most of the items, events and even classes are for members or costs aqcoins, so i hope they do some good things for non members

I like this game a lot, been playing since 09 and level 51 with so much cool gear and classes. Many things have changed and they keep changing every week. You might be bored at first because it is 2d or your not getting the game but after a while you will love this game. My character name in hotdragonslayer.

in first see you will be uncooled or bored in the cuz the game is just 2d but when you play it a lot you will be awsomed try it!
and srry for the other comment i said week not weak heh

MAN IM SO LIKED IT IM LVL 50 GUYS PLAYED IT EVERY DAY ,THIS HAPPENS in aqw every weak (new events,new shops,new adventures,new badges to get,new pets,clothes,classes,armors,swords,staffs,polearms,bows and lots&lots of cool stuff) character my acc if you played! ;)

Good yeah gotting think add me Pewdiepie 2010 mi level 60

I absoulutely love this game. It's the best browser fantasy game yet, I think. Sad that the fox armor is member though....

this is a pay to win game

didn't play this Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago I think it's time to come and see some changes :)

A few observations from a long time player:
Frankly I feel as though the reports of this game being pay 2 win have been exaggerated,and more often than not the people posting them don't even bother mentioning the real issues with the cash shop. While it's true that most of the cooler looking items in game are member or cost AQcoins, they're just that; cooler looking. Most pets don't actually attack, and items no longer come with stats. However,there are a few obvious places where paying members receive very clear advantages, with one example being player vrs player. The non-member PvP amulets pale in comparison to the member ones, and though I don't play much PvP myself I've heard it's severely unbalanced. Most of the classes in game can be bought with AQ coins, however it's also relatively easy to earn them in game via the reputation system. You have to be rank ten in the area that corresponds to class you wants, at which point you can buy it for gold. The plot quest for each area normally give you enough to get to rank 5 or 6, but the rest of your rank points will have to be earned by doing daily and repeatable quest. Unfortunately,this is a tedious process. The game gives you free rep boost via the purple free items button in Battleon,and those normally make things go smoother.
And while I'm on the subject of class, let me just say there is very little class variation. This fact is not at all helped by the fact this game has incredibly simple combat mechanics. Seasoned gamers will probably find combat to be a bit boring or plain.
The community, much like the rest of this game, is a mixed bag indeed. Most players are very friendly and willing to help out, however most players are *also* around 10-14 years old. This is the first MMO many of these kids have tried, and some don't know what they're doing. There are a few mean ones in the bunch, but normally other players are more than happy to ignore those types of people rather than succumb to troll feeding. You've been warned.
This game tends to be rather plot heavy,and features lots of animated cut-scenes. The plot and writing can be very tongue-and-check,featuring the occasional fourth wall break or pop culture reference. It's also very child friendly and easy to follow,but older more seasoned game veterans might find it too simplistic to be compelling.

This game, as mentioned above,is very much a mixed bag. Younger players or those new to the MMORPG genre will appreciate this game's simple mechanics and easy to follow story, but older and more experienced gamers are likely to get bored with this game quickly. I'd say play it casually or as an introduction to the MMORPG genre.

I love playing AQWorlds, but there's a blade that I want that is called the Blade Of Awe. Im almost done with all the quests but the last one (Find The Runes) is so hard! I defeated Chaos Lord Escherion like 50 times and defeated Chaos Lord Vath with his dragon Stagabite 75 times for the runes and I don't have the runes yet!

Members are so lucky because, almost all the pets are members and the Twilight Realm at the Darkovia Graveyard is members and other places are members, and they also get to make a guild and get bonus AC's!

AQWorlds may not be the game for everyone but its the best ive played so far. Its a great social network on the side for 1 allowing people to just blab on about random junk. Haters will be haters but why they waste their time sitting here throwing crap around on a page where ppl just want to see how others actually LIKE the game has left me stumped. Member stuff is just EXTRAS not like 80% of the game. New releases every Friday and they even get in people to host them like The One Eyed Doll and They Might be Giants. I've just done my part in the Chaos War event (cant wait for Drakath to join the fight finally) and I'm also level 48. I'm happy being non-member as would many others. So answer me this Haters if everything in AQWorlds is only good for mems then why do I have stuff like Blade of Awe and Ungodly Reavers of Nulgath

Dage has got some really cool items but I wish that he would add some more. Something worth the time and effort of collecting all those Legion Tokens.

In my opinion a new video should be made as this one is like 5 years old and misses out on all the good bits like owning and decorating a home for example. If u want 2 see mine type /house jordanrhys98. Hope everyone enjoys the game

Worst game ever. Don't be fooled by the user rating. U'll regret even playing it cuz of the member features. Not F2P in any way. I warned u.

Hahaha, I can't believe kids are still playing this crap. "I pay lotsa monies for this and... blah blah I enjoy and no regrets". U don't pay, u can't play as good as members, it's simple as that. Free to play? Nah, it's just a disguise to attract kids who steal their dad's credit card to buy the 2d stuff in the game. Utter bullshit, worst game I've ever played in my life.

A game which will require a lot of real life Money.

since when did they have a trailer????

- Pay to Win -

Found a real cool Pet, Armor, Helm, Cape, Weapon drop? You're about to equip it, when suddenly... 'MEMBER'. You have to pay for maybe a high stat good looking equip, to get a pet, for money. Not really a full on free to play game considering the pay to win.

- Grinding - By level 9 your leveling up slows to a crawl. Horrible time for a person wanting to rank or level up. Takes very long.

- Overpowered Opponents - Monsters like bosses are extremely strong even for their level. A level 24 boss would have about 25,000 HP to knock down and hit like a grown man.

On the other hand it's a good one for casual gamers. ...But if you're looking for some hardcore gameplay then it's not worth your time. Mainly children would rate such a stupid browser game so high.

Its funny cause this website isn't really updating much. Im currently lvl 50 (the current lvl cap now) nonmember and such but it gets quite boring I only come back in game after awhile. It states there isnt any PVP yet but there already is, and the trailer isn't the ACTUAL one. I mean it was just made from a super asian fun player named xyo who makes vids about AQW. But now if you check is account using the Character Page feature he's staying in lvl 35 and with old equips so he probably quit. The actual trailer isn't really a trailer really its more of a commercial. :D

Yeah obviosly*also rolls eyes*:-(

love the retro outfit of the new Battleon!!^_^

I love Adventure Quest Worlds!Im the brother of Metal Energy.I have two accounts.One of them is a level 22 and the other is level 11.I hope you guys enjoy this game!

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!:)Im a level 21 right now....Anyways,CANT WAIT TILL NEW Battleon comes!!!!P.S. im a HUGE fan of Dage.Is int he cool and sweet?? I really like his armor and weapon.So does my brothers.Nathan and Daniel.THERE cool looking boys!

MEMBER ONLY AREAS AND ITEMS ARE NOT SOO COOL AND IM LVL 48 AND LVL 50 IS MAXX

this game is the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest eeeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

oh yah. like when i always get necro i always get hacked!! so i changed my best game

Game is a complete grind.
Show Pony game
P2Win
Super Lag, big huge announcement by AE Last year that they fixed the lag ... Epic Lie.

xyo doesn't even play the game anymore, your full of it. Not active in-game and or the forums.
Char page as proof http://www.aq.com/aw-character.asp?id=xyo


AE is a rip off. They bring out Armor A and Weapon C ... 3 months later, they release the same items which you now have to pay for in a different color. Like Beleens birthday shop. Everything was already in game, but Beleen coloured hers pink.

@above. yep, all classes are clones of one another, most share the same skills that are just renamed.
Game has lost over half it's gaming population, most of their games are failing to attract and keep players.

Go play Rusty hearts, or Dragon Nest, Way better games out there then this heap of krrrap.

Adventure Quest Worlds is the GREATEST. I have been playing Ae games for almost 5 years but from all all their games this one made me play for almost 2 years and a half.... Sometimes I get jelous on the members because they get cool items very easy and Non Mems gets it a little bit hrder than them. BUT sometimes too they get jealous of non mem players specially if they have Nulgath's (Miltonius in Beta) Items

The worst game ever. I've spent so much money on this game for nothing. Everything is ACs or Member. AE you're a goddam mercenary.

This game was really fun when I first started playing it and has given me a good line to draw for games for me to pick.

There is only one feature that I wish to see in many other MMORPGs which is the multiclass system. This allows for a longer time playing the game and the classes are preety well balanced in my opinion. This is a great game to start off for anyone.

This game is great for the casual player - if you're a hardcore kind of player this game won't suit you at all. Most of the time those cool-looking weps and armors require money but the fact is you can just be as powerful as members even though you have the worst looking gear. Well actually I did find a few combinations of armors and weapons and the result was epic even though I wasn't a member.

The game is lively and interesting, and it has a mega storyline which spans from the 13 Chaos Lords to tons of side quests where you can get some pretty cool stuff. I remembered fighting about 5 of them (which took about a whole month, excluding the waiting time) and it was really good imo. The game is funny and very suitable for kids and casual gamers.

This game kept me entertained for a few months but after awhile i could be bothered grinding for rep so i quit

now i come back occasionally but it doesn't stick on as well as the first impression you get of it because the game play is so repetitive

this game is cool

best game 4 ever its best game it has every thing to enjoy with it and every friday a new thing!!!!!!!!!!!!! best game 4 ever

what codes in valencia's

This game is the best mmorpg I've played the cartoon-like scenes and art style is the best I've seen the Classes are the best in it not to mention the huge amount of equipment and quests that can be taken, the story is awesome, I was a member of this at one time it's definitely worth it. The only problem I had was that it can get get quite repetitive at times. But despite that issue overall it's an awesome game along with the others Epic Duel, Hero Smash, Adventure Quest, Mechquest, and Dragonfable. You can easily spend hours on end playing this game.

glad you guys have fun it is so awesome nothing could top it it fun for all ages,weekly update,real life merchandise,my name in there is lance tiger a non mem but i still play i been playing it for 3 and a half year it was fun specially seeing moderators its the best

AQWorlds Is by far my fav game :D. That was my own styled trailer of a game that is my passion, You can check out they're new commercial trailers on YouTube now. Keep on playing guys, there's more coming from AE soon.

Peace
Xyo.

Adventure Quest Worlds Is a free easy Internet Browser game I rate it 10/10 There is new updates every week, you make new friends while adventuring through places such as Shadowfall, Battleon and much much more! I am a level 30 Gamer I have used membership and ac this game is Awesome.

i have plyed this game since 2009 and it so cool now i have 50 lvl character and acces to many things for me it is the best mmo browser game

I love this game. Plain and simple. I'm a member with Chunin class, I'm level 23 with the latest mem-only enhancements, 80,000 gold, 16 AC's ( I spent a bunch of mine) with 1548 health. My username is King Aku II and I'm usually on the server Artix, so add me if you want. Also I'm the leader of the guild "The Kings".

Besides the lag, I have to point out,
There are 17 servers in this game. 17. Thats allot. Meaning there is17 each of the same rooms.
I am trying to find help with a boss at bloodtuskwar, So I am on cysero server, I type /goto bloodtuskwar. I enter room one, but everyone is fighting mini mobs. So I goto room 2, same thing there, you can choose from thousands of rooms for bloodtuskwar. So how the hang are you suppose to find help.

I go from room to room, looking for parties, going on the forums, but no one wants to fight him. I end up fighting boss, 1 weeks later.

Way to many servers in this game, way to many room options for the same room.

dress up game...all they make is new armors/pets for cash shop + memebership. you can call it "Fashion worlds"

Cons:-
- Rep to get free classes (rep 10), then rank to get all glass skills

- 23 class skills. Every class has a least 1 skill recycled from another class.

- Game offers allot of classes, most are members and ACs

- Members get perks, but once your membership runs out, you cannot use any

members items you brought. How lame is that.

- ACs, for those players that buy ACs have a huge disadvantage.
Allot of players pay more money on ACs then people do with membership, yet ACs buyers
get sh/tty classes and armors, plus they cannot use members realm.

- Grind fest game.

- Pay to win

- PvP is a joke, if your winning a fight, players can log out, and they don't get penalized for it.
Plus you don't get any points if they run. You have to start all over again and again,
as allot of players log out when before they die.

- Members only can create guilds

- Not worth joining guilds as a free player as there are member guild quests you have to do
if your a non member, so you don't get the drop. Only members do.

- To much afk so you have to search rooms to find active players to kill mobs

- Higher level players are put at a disadvantage when fighting bosses as low level players can the room your in and put you at a disadvantage as most will only help when the boss is nearly dead.

- Should auto kick afk players out of boss rooms

- Rares are a joke. most are remade but in a different color

- Quest items can take up to half your bag space.

- You have to spam yulger to look for a party and or go to the forums, when your trying to find help to kill bosses. This is really time consuming.
-
- AE lost so many clients that they have only a quarter of the people they used to have. EpicDuel was a huge
fail due to the imbalance, they think aq3d will save them. It will not. The graphics look outdated and the quests
grindy. Stop putting AC buyers at a disadvantage AE. Most AC buyers spend more then members.
Membership is a joke. Why pay for something you can't use if your membership runs out.

im level 40 necromancer name is shakil10

BEST GAME EVER

Game:AQW
Name:Nazgulix
Lvl: 32
Player:Non-Member
Servers: Twilly and Zorbak.
Times i'm on:Daily ( only at school)

Add me if you like this game ^^

best class is eter mage warior rouge heler

My name in Aqw is D im founder.That is true but just ignore them do not let them bother you and report them i just want to help.Good Luck with that.

This game's ruined, it was good when the lvl cap was 35, but then some moderator named "Dage The Evil" arrived, guys listen to me, Nulgath/Miltonius was the main artist for this game, you would have to work hard to get one of his items, and he was actually looking forward into the gameplay for AQW, till he went "solo" (the game he's creating is still owned by AE, but Nulgath is the creator of the game, wich is OverSoul) and Dage came in and started bullcrapping everyone, now to be "cool" in AQW you have to waste your money with all the items released in-game, with REAL money, it's about 90% p2w and 10% of the game to the freeplayers, the community is the worst part, most people in AQW are obcessed by the word "troll" so they just start trashing everyone, but this is in a pay-server, and the free-servers are even worse, you just walk into a room and someone calls you a pig. I find this game very disaponting.

I liked the game's style and all that good stuff, but at some point it just gets boring.
And alot of quest mainly rely on you grinding for certain items. :l

I used to play this game a lot. but as soon as they started up with tv commercials, i stopped. Why? the ads brought a lot of whiny kids and trollers into the game

this is very good game i just started playing it today

I was hungry for MMORPGs until I found this game
but I got fed up with it..looking for new MMORPGs similiar to AQ Worlds

Yep no doubt best game on browser ive played since 09

for me this game is the best browser game and really fun to play

dude ive been playing this game since after the beta and i have to say man i love it! it needs to be available for free at the apple app store that would be amazing!

decent-good game. haslots of non paying items to obtain from various releases and storylines, has a good forum community, dev's are helpful on retrieving accounts if stolen and soon to be made into 3d summer of 2012.

dress-up game, it has subscription, cash shop, promos, i'm surprizd they don't charge for login

This game is so cool!!
New game engine!!
New quests, area, shops, rare, NPCs, & Monsters every week!!
I've enjoying this game sinc 2008... Gamma testing... this game is so much improved now 2012!!

wow!!!!!!!!

Nice Game play. Cool Graphics. But I hate it when all the cool stuff goes to the members like areas,pets,other weapons and armors .

*twitch* ive played the game and i say its fun but non members dont get too much rares especially the RARES! but anyways 1000000000000000000000000000000000/1

This game was perfectly recomended and so many really cool items, quest, monsters and classes.

really enjoy playing it until now im at max lvl (lvl 45)
this games was really exciting and fun

for me this was the best browser mmorpg ever made! 9999/5 EPIC

#1 AQWorlds

AQW is really a great game, whether male or female :P. I've been playing AQW since '09 of December and I haven't played non-stop, literally, until now xP It gets really addicting when you get the hang of the game and it is fun :) I'm already lvl 41 and people should try this game out if they're looking for a free no download mmorpg. You could do whatever you want whether chatting with friends, doing quests to get awards, getting stuff you like, getting RARES xD, customize your character, leveling up, getting a lot of gold xP, and many more :P. PEOPLE
BATTLE ON!!!!

good game i play it and ima lvl 38, but rep pts are very hard to get, i was tryin to get my ranger for 2 months

This game is the best browser mmorpg in the world. I have played it forever. the game realeses are getting even better there are more classes than any normal game (and still classes to come) and i love the holiday events too. all you hates are a bunch of idiots who dont know what a real game is like . my name is choas1010. :D = play it its SO FUN

this is the best mmorpg is have ever played.my name in it is detective superman lev 45

oh really???ill see..

To be honest, it's a great game. It's highly addicting back then, but now I stopped playing it lol. After years of playing it since its launch I'm sure you'd understand why I stopped playing this game. It was a great run but what I didn't like about it is that free players always miss out on the goods AQW has to offer.

Aqworlds was my first mmorpg i was a beta tester and had alot of rares so this game was so much fun back then :D ...

this is the best multi player browser game.i was trying to find more gameslike aq worlds,but all were boing.i am lev 40 and my name is detective superman in the game,non mems can be way too strong if they have patience to do farming in the games.this is the best mmorpg ever

Adventure Quest Worlds is an indie game of relatively limited means and funds. Its graphics are themed and "outdated" 2D flash affairs, there are next to no sound effects and ambient music is only a recent inclusion. The team developing AQW is only 15 strong, Its gameplay is simple and level progression requires a lot of grinding. Reading all of this, you might be thinking "This game SUCKS!" and if you're a gamer who's obsessed with epic graphics and SFX, or one who doesn't care about the social component and would prefer to be in guilds pvping and farming n00bs and raping game economies, then yes, this game sucks.

However, if you are a casual gamer, a new gamer, a young gamer, a n00b who doesn't want to constantly have that fact thrown in your face by higher level players handing you your ass, or if (like me) you are a gamer who enjoys possessing and collecting EVERYTHING a gamer has to offer, just for shits and giggles, then this is a superb game.

It has a very lively and active gamer community, it has dedicated staff who not only make regular updates to content, but encourage the participation of players in developmental decision making. It is noteworthy that every mod and developer working on AQW started out as actual players of AQW and earlier Artix Entertainment titles such as the original Adventure Quest, Dragonfable and Mechquest.

The frequency of updates and the community spirit of the game more than make up for the other issues with the game in my mind. At the very least, I recommend you check it out; it takes literally 3 minutes to set up an account and give it a go.

I would give this 4.5 stars out of 5 for lord vath when you kill vath and stalagbite i did it 5 times but it said i had to do it again or do i have to get the killing blow? I would say that this is the best game on the browser without despute.
I totally enjoy every moment.
Battle On

Adventure Quest Worlds is a great game where you can battle with friends, PvP ( player verses player ) and you hardly ever get bored with this game because they update it every friday. I give this game 4 and a half stars out of 5. I recommend this game to all ages.
Battle On.

Ive been playin since 1-1-09 and its the best non downloadable mmorpg game out there if you play look at my char page

yeah...... its first great........ until u feel boring... but that boring will be gone till u find a new purpose why did u play that game!!!! this is one of the best mmorpg ever created by artix entertainment then new mmorpg super hero created (still on beta) the HERO SMASH!!!!!! u also should play that too!!!! n AQWorlds may be come top online mmorpg!!

this game has cartoon grafics. i meen what is the point of playing this. i think its not worth it and its two demenionl. but i have not played it.

sorry dude.... but thats not the real trailer
here is the real one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tetzbsmmz9I

You have to pay for just about everything...so pretty much your average AE game. Other than that it's not to bad but it probably won't keep you playing for very long.

its fun at first but gets boring. and members get a big avantage

When I first played the game, and the level limit was 20, the game was actually quite fun until I got to level 19. Back then, it was grindy as heck to get to level 20. That was when I quit the game. I don't know how it is now, but from when I played the game, it was actually pretty nice. All the premium player extras appearing everywhere were, however, quite annoying.

I like this game because it's fun and unlike other online games,it got some jokes while some other games got none at all.The storyline is much easier to understand if you compare this with Adventure quest.

Tip : DO NOT try to sneak on the ninja trainer,because even if you didn't she said you did it.

This game is so Fun i think this is the best MMo game fopr browser

I got bored on the game cause I have what I want

Adventure quest worlds is most likely the best ftp browser game to hit the net ever. I have been a member of AQW since the beginning and am still an avid player. At first like all games there have been numerous glitches and bugs but with a player base of close to a million players it really is expected. AQW development team AE is very attuned to Theiler players and always willing to listen to feedback from it's players. There are numerous perks to being a member, such as having pet's,areas and the best released content a large majority of the time, but don't get me wrong non members as of late have been given certain perks also, such as pets ,epic armors holiday releases etc. just so that everyone get's a fair share of the gaming community. I have played alot,and I mean allot of browser mmorpg's and to this day nothing compares to the caliber of AQW. No matter how many games I have played,past present and future,I always find myself drawn back to adventure quest worlds. This in my eyes is one of the better browser mmorpgs out there but AE, Artix Entertainment also has a slew of other games such as Dragonfable, adventure quest,mechquest,epicduel and more. AE and and indie company has really done well for themselves over the years and I sure they would love to see all you new players and old players alike to try AE games,they have my vote.

I have a level 30 member char. I love this game. 30 is the current level cap, though they are getting ready to move it up to 40. Every week they release new content, They have events for every holiday. (Including odd ones like 'Talk like a pirate day.') No one weapon is above any other, so you can literally equip whatever you think looks cool without any downside. No trading system means no economy to destroy by overpricing items, and its simple and fairly inexpensive to get what you want. Its not an mmo made for serious hardcore gamers, but if you want a casual good time i highly recommend this game.

aqw....good game. Yes it gets boring, yes most cool things are for members. However it's still very atractive. I for once am kinda addicted to it. I've been playing it for probably a year and a half or so, I'm lvl 35 (which is the max for now), I'm not a member and yet I still play it almost everyday. most of the game's fun is having fun with other people, as I like to say the game is 60% social, 30% killin' stuff and 10% being bored. Besides there are alot of non-member stuff that are as cool as some member things and there are some non-mem things that are cooler than some member things, it just takes time to take them. if ya wanna post stuff like "there are no cool non-mem stuff in it" check out the things you can get from miltonius, swindle and mini miltonius. There are lots of quest that can be done, many items that can be earned through them, or from shops that are unlocked by completing quests and alot of them are color custom which means there are lots of combinations between armors and helms and capes etc. If ya wanna hang around with me in aqw, my char is called Diewhithhonor (yes ik I did not spell it right, it was 1 am when I made the char lol )

This is the best game on the web man, i enjoy every second im on it, ive been playing sincce easter and i havent gotten bored yet, every friday they update it so theres new places, new shops, new rare every friday, its even funner if you buy a membership because yu get all the members places and all the weapons and armors, its really cool you should try it, and dont get disapointed if you dont really get how to do everything all at once, there are also these things called adventure coins and those get the most awesome weapons and armors! i love this game so much that ive spent over 100 dollars on adventire coins and memberships, but dont worry playing the game for free is VERY fun too
