Version: N.E.O Online 1.1
Pros
lots to do
great crafting system
overall unique world feel, not many bugs
interesting graphicsCons
lack of players
more skills/abilities wouldn't hurtSummary
its important to know that OGPLANET is closing its version of NEO, though playomg runs a global version that has been around a little longer. I recommend trying this game if you're looking for something new.

"Excellent MMORPG that will keep you entertained"
Version: N.E.O Online 1.1
Pros
Game has many great qualities, including stunning graphics, easy interface, and many things to do in the game.
Cons
Still some bugs in interfacing that can be frustrating; Music is soso. The character base is still small, so the economy is still premature.
Summary
This is one of the best MMORPGs I believe I have ever played. Having played well over 30 or so MMORPGs in my life, including Everquest, Asheron's Call, Runescape, Darksun Online (old news), and many others. Probably the best aspect of this game is its amazingly intuitive interface. It is extremely easy to use and begin playing. They have many built in features that will allow you to customize the screens and options to suit your style of game-play. Other nice aspects of NEO are that It offers players plenty to do with quests and, unlike many other games out there, quests are not all the same. You do have your monster kill quests and item retrieval quests, but they also have many other quests, an example being where you need to escort NPCs to safe areas while being able to listen to their silly dialogues. In any given level you will have plenty of quests to do on your hands--you will never have a level short of quests to get to the next level. While the questing in this game still can undergo some improvement, I think they offer enough variety in quests to keep the average player entertained for many days. Leveling goes fairly fast in this game and you can be 20+ within a week or so. As most other games, NEO also includes a craft system. For those into this kind of thing it can be fun and, most importantly, very rewarding. Items in Neo have a grade from S to F (S, A, B, C, D, E, F), where S is the highest grade and F is the lowest grade. Often times, characters can make items for their characters that are extremely powerful. The variety of options that can randomly be generated on an item can make crafting be extremely addictive and rewarding. Also, as you progress higher in level, the items you can make have really cool looks when on a character. For those who enjoy crafting, I'd say this game has much to offer to you. Another interesting aspect of the game is their Chaos wars. As players fight creatures in the land, the percentage of "chaos" raises. Once a land reaches 100% chaos, creatures become very strong and a minigame is opened up that allows characters to battle over control over that area by capturing as many bases (I'm not sure what they are called in game) as they can. In the end, the game recognizes the winners and they are given special rewards. Once this is done, the chaos percentage resets to 0% to restart the process again. Another nice thing about this game is that there are plenty of friendly helpful people that are glad to help you if you are new and need assistance. I asked many people in the game questions are they were happy to help me out. In many other MMORPGs I could be shouting for hours and be completely ignored.
If I had to list any drawbacks to this game, I would probably say the biggest one being the player base. Because the game is fairly new, not many people are playing it and, since many of the items you acquire from creatures are not worth a lot of money you are forced into selling them at the auction place. Well, if you do this it might take a number of days to sell your items since there is not a whole lot of people playing, which can be frustrating. There isn't a whole lot other than that I've found negative about the game. There are occasional problems with the interface I've come across (like when I try to use the hotkey auto-attack on a creature it makes me get on my horse from time to time).
Overall, while this game is very new, it is well designed and is very entertaining. It is by far one of the best free MMORPGs out there.
