RPG games for beginners

Learn about rpg games easyly and effectively, learn all the basics of the rpg games, what mana, life experience means

For the ones of you that don’t know RPG stands for Role Playing Game, and is one of the most played type of game nowadays.


You are the main hero, and you interact with other characters also called NPC-s ( or Non Playable Characters if you’re playing single player). They will give you quests to do, and you have to do them, in order to get experience and advance to higher levels.


The story has the main quest, that will end the game when finished, and usually a lot of side quests, that will help you develop your character. The side quests are not necessary, but will get you deeper into the story and sometimes that is really worth it!


Most RPG games allow you to choose your type of character at the beginning. Usually there are several types of characters, all with different attributes, but there are three main categories to choose from: wizard, fighter and archer. These will take different names and attributes and will be further more differentiated into subcategories, depending on the game. For example, the wizard can become specialized on different categories of spells, like earth, water, dark magic, white magic, fire, lightning, nature.


How do you grow your character? Well this depends from game to game, but basically you have :

-life, called life points in many games representing your health

-mana, or mana points representing the wizardry point you have left( these point allow you to do spells, if you don’t have them you won’t be able to cast spells)

-stamina, also found by other names, depending on the game, this represents how much time you can run, of do special moves.


Besides these three there are a few other primary attributes like:

-strength – representing the strength of your character, you’ll have to put points here if your character is a fighter.

-dexterity –representing the dexterity of your character, usually important for archers

- intelligence – representing the intelligence of your character, usually important for wizards.

There may appear some more primary attributes depending on the game but don’t worry they are usually explained!


Experience – this is heart of the game, and this (along with the story) will keep you in front of the computer for days! Basically, when you kill monsters you get experience, you also get experience when you do the quests. This experience is used to grow in level, making you stronger and able to battle with more and more monsters. Take care how you spend your experience, because in the later part of the game it’s important to be strong so you can finish the game. Usually it’s best to choose a line of evolution at the beginning and keep it until the end of the game !


Ok, we’ve reached the end of part one, hope I was able to enlighten you a little concerning the mysteries of RPG games. See you in part two!

Online Game Rivalry Ends with Real Life Murder

There is another sad but real story. Two Lineage players of warring clans meeting face-to-face in the city resulted in violence and death.

There is another sad but real story. Two Lineage players of warring clans meeting face-to-face in the city resulted in violence and death.

This is the third murder crime relative to MMO in my memory. Several days ago, I have reported a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering and robbing an 81-year-old woman for money to play online games in Vietnam, and a 17 year old Chinese boy lighted classmate on fire to be a Fire Mage. At this time, the tragedy happened in Russia.

The website of russiatoday reported it with a meaningful title "Online game rivalry ends with real life murder". Is MMO-related crime a serious social concern? What should government and MMO developer do? If you have an opinion on this news, feel free to leave a comment.

The details are as below:

A young Russian man has been charged with murder after an internet game jumped off the screen onto the street. It's alleged he killed an internet gaming rival after they met face to face in the city of Ufa.

Violence on screen isn't harmful to anyone. But when virtual reality and real life collide an innocent game can end in tragedy.

It all started when two clans, the Coo-clocks, made up of mostly students, and the so-called Platanium with more experienced gamers of over thirty, started fighting to wipe out each other on screen.

33-year-old Albert used to spend hours in front of his computer. On the web he had his own clan and a dozen of warriors. Just days before the New Year in a virtual battle his clan killed a member of the hostile Coo-clocks.

Days later the enemies agreed to meet literally face to face in the real world.

Their confrontation led to tragedy. Albert was badly beaten and died from his injuries on the way to hospital.

"I think they have confused the game and reality. And after we buried him on December 31, they continued to threaten us," Albert's sister Albina says.

The alleged murderer hasn't shown regret and hasn't justified himself. 22-year-old student just calmly explained why he killed his opponent.

On the web each of the clans had its own hierarchy and rules.

"Beat everything that moves, and everything that doesn't move - move and beat!" this is one of the rules of the Coo-clocks clan.

In this case the rule applied to real people in real life. Members of the internet Coo-clocks clan continue to harass the family of the murdered man, threatening to kill his sister, who hasn't turned on the computer for days.

In an unrelated case another gamer in his twenties came to Moscow from Ukraine to meet his rival. The confrontation ended in with the Moscow man being beaten to death.

And a twenty-year-old from Petrosavodsk killed his grandmother after she interrupted his game calling him to eat.

However, internet experts say these cases shouldn't be lumped together just because some people can't handle the situation.

"Not many talk about the benefits of internet games for disabled people who don't have a chance to communicate with others like themselves or able-bodied people. Nobody mentions the benefits the internet can offer in education," says Aleksandr Kuzmenko of a computer game magazine.

With more and more people logging on to get their fix of virtual reality the experts say incidents like these are rare, and want it to stay that way.
