Most aspects of the game will be familiar to those who regularly dabble in MMO worlds. The Character Creation is the first point of contact and at first does seem particularly limited. More inline with Phantasy Star Online's customisation options than the ever-evolving productions from Electronic Arts and Bethesda Softworks, the player has a limited number of facial, armour and Race and Class options. Later options provide players with additional clothing, weaponry and the ability to learn a second Class, providing individualisation for those who persevere.
