C9, Continent of the Ninth Seal, Open Beta

C9 or Continent of the Ninth Seal is a fantasy themed action-oriented Online Multiplayer RPG. The game is published by Webzen and it's Free-To-Play. You can download the installer from the official website. Just make sure you have enough free space for it because the size of the installer is around 4.6 GB. It took me a while to download all of it but if you have a fast internet connection then it will only take you a few minutes.

As an action-oriented Online Multiplayer RPG, C9 is somewhat similar to Dragon Nest and Vindictus. All dungeons or maps or stages in C9 are instanced. As far as I know, C9 has no open world. You can only explore the towns and the dungeons or stages. Without an open world, C9, like Dragon Nest and Vindictus, is not a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) because there is nothing massive about it.

C9 will let you choose and play one of four character classes. These are the Fighter, Hunter, Shaman and Witchblade. You can customize them to your liking but you won't be able to choose or change your character's gender. Character classes in C9 are gender locked.

If you want a male character then you can choose between the Fighter and the Hunter. If you want a female character then your choices are the Shaman and the Witchblade. You can't have a female Fighter nor a male Shaman. If gender selection is a big deal for you then I don't think you'll be able to enjoy this game.

The graphics of C9 looks dated but it's still pretty good for a Free-To-Play game. If you are having problems with lag or low FPS then simply switch your video settings to low and you'll be fine.

Controlling or moving your character in C9 is also pretty simple because it uses the standard ASWD keys. Skills are executed either by pressing a hot key or by mouse buttons and keyboard keys combos. It may sound complex but it's really very easy to do. Also, chaining skills will result to massive combos.

C9 has all the standard features found in any Online Multiplayer RPG like PvP, Party System, Guild System, Crafting, Quests, Mail System, Auction House, Mentor System, etc. Among these features, I find the Intrusion System fun. As the name implies, Intrusion will allow you to intrude in another player's dungeon or stage. You must then kill the player or players in the dungeon to complete your intrusion.

The combat in C9 is rather repetitive but if you find hacking and slashing through dungeons with hordes of monsters fun then you should at least give C9 a try. The game has lots of action. Just watch your Combo counter because you might see yourself executing extremely high Combo numbers.

Anyway, C9 is currently in Open Beta. Playing the game during this period will reward you with Bonus Experience Points or XP. This will make your character level-up faster. See if you can reach Level 50 before Open Beta ends.
