• Don't Waste Your Time on this Piece of Trash

  Nicolaus1968January 8, 2013

  Pros

  Simple, works on low end systems.

  Cons

  Too many to list.

  Summary

  In-game economy is broken. Drop rate is miniscule. You will have to farm and grind for hundreds of hours, all while competing with hundreds of bots set up by other cheating players. Sometimes there are so many bots in an area that you can't even complete your quest. You can level up quickly at the beginning, but by level 50 it gets tedious and monotonous. GMs are worse than useless. Some of them don't even speak English. They come online once in a while and give things to their friends, but there is no policing of the world chat and no tracking down the scammers and cheaters. Just check their weekly 'banned' list - there's never more than 2 or 3 people on there. Ingame chat full of racists, perverts and people speaking other languages. If you are a female player, be prepared for the sexist comments. There seems to be an in-game fascination with hermaphrodites. Nobody is making sure that English is spoken on the world chat. Impossible to do well on game without spending thousands of dollars. Trust me on this one. You cannot afford to play this supposedly free game. Game is full of botters, cheaters and scammers. At any given moment, I can sign my character on and find over 100 botters, but none of them ever get disciplined. I really don't know who is posting the positive comments on this game. They haven't played it. I have been playing for over two years, and I keep hoping someone will fix this game, but no one does. This game is seriously broken.

  Summary

  Number 1. I suppose would be botters. 95% (at least) of those who play this game bot. GMs do nothing to stop the botting and have actually scolded mods for trying to do something about this huge problem. Many loyal players have alread quit because of this problem and we see no end in sight. True a few accounts will be banned for show, but they are allowed back after 1 week, and you will never find a chinese player banned. The players laugh and brag about their cheating and nothing is done. 2. The game is filthy. Vulgarity, in every sense of the word. Players show no respect or restraint, even in their IDs. 3. After playing this game for 3 years, the lvl cap is still only 75. 3 years ago it was 60.Miracle Castle is not a gaming company but rather an individual who lives in an apartment buying patches from programmers. If you attempt to email "Miracle Castle" your email will be returned stating that it is undeliverable. 4.GM "HelloLinda" favors players from China and has been caught giving the best gear and gold to the select players. The same players at each level drop the best gear, the rest are left to fend for themselves. The GM has been caught lying. cheating, and even the mods have been caught botting. 5.Read above. Lifers (as I call them) bot continually yet don't have to purchse t-points to upgrade their gear. They get their gold from their bots and the drops from these bots. Then, low and behold they go about bullying the rest of the players which has cost the game many players. 6. Nothing new EVER. Patches will raise lvl cap slightly. Each patch has tweeked 1 class of chars so that players will build that class simply because it becomes stroneger or more useful after the patch. The last patch tweeked tamers and lowered other chars. The same will happen again after people finish building the tweeked characters and stop buying t-points, and we start the cycle all over again. 7.The quests are bugged generally, their is also a stiff language barrier. The story line in incoherant. 8.Scammers and thieves are everywhere. Seldom does anything get done. Hackers abound in hacking player accounts and emptying them. 9. If you play failry I promise you that you will not be able to afford upgrades to your gear or weps. You are at the mercy oif the aforementioned botters.I once upgraded a weapon. Just to see how much it would cost. The price was over $200 usd. 10. The game is left unmanaged, kids run the game, international hatred is prevailent. GMs are arrogant, uncaring of the players and outright smart alecks, even when they do decide to log on which is about 10 minutes per week. You get the gest of this "game" It is no game at all. It is a cash cow for a man living in an apartment who doesnt care how it is managed as long as he is making money. Stick with the well established games and let this dog die.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Feb 7, 2011<p/>P.S&gt; The high ratings here? Thye aren't made by actually players. "Miracle Castle and the gms make accounts to praise this trash as something special. The game literally sux in every aspect of the word.

• This game is a wreck!!

  Pros

  None what so ever

  Cons

  Summary

  So many are allowed to bot that the game just isn't worth playing. GMs help certain players and have admitted it. No patches, no support. Miracle Castle company simply milks every lvl for all the money they can get. I have played almost 3 years now and they have raised the lvls only from lvl 60 to lvl 70 in all this time. Never new music or anything else to do. No new players. All noob chars are made by higher ranked players who use bots on them so they can make cash and master points. This game is a total wreck and no one will do anything about it. The botters get the great gear by cheating then bully all other players who play fairly. Perhaps this is acceptable in China, but not to me.

• Much better games available

  pilot1tzMarch 13, 2010

  Pros

  There are no pros to this game

  Cons

  everything else

  Summary

  To begin with, botting is allowed. It's against the rules but game administrators are allowed to make game friends and have been known to make statements such as "he is like my brother, I can't ban him for botting". If a botter IS banned, its only for a short time and they come back bragging about still botting. The game is set up to get players to spend money, period. Only GM friends get the best drops in the game which is also a documented fact. Support is no help and rarely do what they say they will do. Servers are very slow at times, graphics are average and gameplay is stagnant. Most new players are simply high ranking players who make many noob accounts to gain master points on their main characters. Scammers are everywhere in the game so the trade system only helps if you know someone very well. The game isn;t kid friendly as players often use filthy words in their ID and titles. Drops are very few unless you bot and there are now so many items for sale due to the massive botting in this game that the game economy is broken. If you want to upgrade your weps and gear to +10, like most others who cheat, be prepared to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Rules are not enforced unless you happen to know the GM. Even on the english servers the game has been taken over by brazilians who are exceptionally rude to others and who think that they have gotten a deal if they scam and steal from other players. The bottom line is, this game is a wreck. You should expect nothing more.

• Waste of Time

  pilot1tzFebruary 15, 2010

  Pros

  Easy to uninstall

  Cons

  everything else

  Summary

  I wonder who keeps wiping out all the bad reviews for this game? To begin with, the GMs in this game have ingame friends. One GM, HelloLinda says she refuses to ban her botter friend "DRAGONPON" because he is like her brother. Botters rule the game, and if you turn them in you're blacklisted. Scammers are everywhere as well as botters so get use to it, GMs and MiraceCastle will do nothing. People in the game are rewarded for breaking the rules and for outright cheating. The player base is pretty much the same ppl who bot, constantly making new chars for master points and drops. By the way, they bot these too. Not many new players actually begin this game, just the same ppl making numerous new chars for reasons stated above. To do well in the game, t-point purchases are a must which are expensive. After spending $60 usd and buying the gems to plus your items you may walk away feeling robbed as generally you will have up to 44 failed + attempts so you get nothing for your cash that you spent. The servers are laggy, the graphics mediocre. The brazilians have pretty much infested the game, even the usa servers, to the point that all you see are texts about what they want to do to your mom and sisters. Vulgarity is allowed in player names and titles so it isn;t very child friendly. This game seriously blows.

• Amazing Game!

  ACEr24076January 25, 2010

  Pros

  Free, Easy Game Play, LOTS of players

  Cons

  Sometimes the servers are slow

  Summary

  Even though it has the look and feel of World of Warcraft, Talisman Online is COMPLETELY different. All of the art, characters, areas, quests, scenarios, etc., are all unique to Talisman. If you like WoW, you'll LOVE Talisman. Especially since it's so much cheaper. ;)

• Gets 1 star because there isn't anythng lower

  pilot1tzSeptember 27, 2009

  Pros

  There are none.

  Cons

  Characters unbalanced. GMs arrogant and smart mouthed. This game is designed to take your money, nothing more.

  Summary

  After playing this game for quit some time I have realised that its simply a money bag for Miracle Castle, a company seemingly based in China. (Email to them returned undeliverable) It costs a small fortune to upgrade your weapons and gear. GMs known to help certain players to drop the best weps plus the GMs seem to think that they're the ones payng YOU to play this wreck of a game. Sins are so overpowered now they can one hit kill most any other player besides those darlings who seem to always get the best drops in the game. One player received 2 golden weapons in 1 day. Most others play for a year and never get a golden drop. The brazilian players seem to make up the bulk of players. Rules say english only in world chat but the rules aren't enforced at all. Many player names are most vulgar which makes the game unfriendly to children. I have personally played this game for 20 months and kept thinking it would be better but after all this time only 6 lvls of gameplay have been added to a game that supposedly will go to lvl 100. Miracle castle milks all they can from each lvl added, always adding new pets, mounts, etc in the t-points shop which is very expensive, but seldom bother with gameplay upgrades. mIf you're looking for something to throw money away on this is the game for you. You can easily spend hundreds if not thousands of $$ and generally you get nothing back for your cash. I have bought $60 worth of t-points to upgrade a weapon and 10 minutes later they are all gone and my weapon is still the same lvl as it was before, nothing returned for money spent. This is very common in this game. If you don't upgrade you have little chance of being able to do scenarios and some of the mobs will be painfully slow in dying, especially the higher lvl ones. Looking back I don't know why I spent good money on this game and spent so much time playing. I do not reccomend this game. If you do play it, keep your money away from it. Also, there are many scammers on the game, and botters. As a matte rof fact there is a moderator who bots but is not disciplined for it. All in all this game blows as do the poeple running it. The game itself runs ok despite problems with windows Vista on installing the patches. You'll have to do it manually. The text in the game at times makes no sense and there is very little help ingame beyond word of mouth. Support doesn't help if you have a complaint because the GMs are allowed to read them. Making a GM upset in this game is taboo. Save your time and money and play a well established game. This one is a failure.
