While other Tappers may be settling into, I slipped into a slightly less high-profile beta:. Raiderz is a Korean-made free-to-play MMO, being localized for North America by Perfect World.

So what are my initial thoughts? Read on First off I have to be a little negative. The first impression an MMO makes on a new user tends to be in the character creator. I may just be spoiled by the likes of or, but I feel the current avatar creator in Raiderz leaves something to be desired. Only human characters are possible, and there’s a pretty limited range of facial features. Maybe this is something that will be expanded on later for real money transactions; I’m unsure. This is the darkest I can make a character.

Honestly, the biggest disappointment is the lack of skin tone diversity. While there’s a wide variety of different hair colors, from brown to blue, skin tones range from white, to whiter, to sort of dusty, at best. I realize this is part of the game’s aesthetic, and maybe there’s something I don’t understand about the politics of localizing an Asian title like this. Nevertheless, for a Western audience, a darker set of skin tone options would not be remiss. Some players will at least be relieved that the female starting outfits, though a little midriff-baring, are relatively practical as far as these things go.

After character creation, the Raider is thrust into a lovely world full of creepy monsters. One thing that will probably stand out right away about this game is the graphical style.

Pink sunsets range over the skyline, with yellow flowers dotting the fields and green grass swaying in the wind. Characters, NPCs and PCs all, all have a very smooth, young, fresh-faced look. It’s hard to mistake this for an American-developed game. The world itself seems sort of a Final-Fantasy-meets- Monster-Hunter environment. There’s no way to water this down: the game’s got chocobos.
