Paladore

[kristie91]

Hello people. I know a lot of you are going to be like ekk.. But I think Paladore looks really interesting. To be honest it is considered a virtual pet site. Some of you may play virtual pet sites or had when you were a kid. Aka neopets.
This virtual pet site however is going to have a lot of similarities to pokemon. So you may or may not be interested.

http://paladore.com/ Yeah I know it says November 12th but the open date is November 11th. Originally it was November 12th until some said it would be cool on November 11th!

Here's a preview!

Welcome to the Paladore: Full Reveal! On November 11th at 11:11pm GMT time, Paladore will be opening its doors to the general public for our Epic Grand Opening! We have been dedicating endless amounts of time on this fantastic project for almost 6 months now. The Staff has given very little away in terms of what we have developed through previews. For those of you who have been keeping up with our Palalune Issues, you will have read about some of our upcoming features, but now we happily present them to you in their full glory!

Paladore is a free to play virtual world where you can capture virtual pets called Pali, and that is where we will start:

The first thing you will do when you join the site is be directed to Serabi's Cave where you will be able to choose one of four Pali: Leow (Fire), Grasillia (Earth), Watul (Water) or Lumidile (Lightening). You will be able to give your Pali a unique name with the freedom to roll its starting stats. Once created, you will receive newbie gifts; including an elemental ability that of which is auto-equipped to your Pali. After making your decision and taking the steps which follow, you will then be free to explore the game as you see fit!

Palia - RPG
http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/rpg1.png
Palia is the RPG world set in the Paladore universe. Palia is updated in real-time and may have 500+ users connected to it at once. To control your Human Avatar, or Character, you will be required to use your keyboard. Within each map you will find a live mini-map which will help you explore Palia, and since there are over 100 maps to explore, it's pretty safe to say that it could come in very handy! You may also find Pali on the map, which you can battle by walking up to them and pressing X. You can also interact with other NPCs on the map and chat with fellow members, all updated in real-time like any other general MMORPG would.

Palia - Battle
http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/battle1.png
Competing through battle is another major part of the RPG. You can battle Pali as they spawn simply by pressing X, which will launch you into battle. The Battle Feature uses an ATB system in which your Pali each have their own timer bars. When those bars fill up, you can select an ability to use on your opponent. There are many different abilities that you can get from all over Paladore; including RPG quests, restocking, Boss Battles, Crafting and Random Events. You may use Healing abilities, Haste, Slow as well as unique attacking abilities. Damage is doubled/halved depending on what type your opponent is and what ability you use to select.

-- Features --

Battle with up to 3 Pali at any one time
Pali level up by gaining EXP from Pali that spawn on the map
You can capture Pali you find on maps by battling them. Once defeated, the wild Pali you encountered may or may not choose to follow you as a Guardian.
Each Pali has a max level of 100, but may prestige later on.
You can equip abilities that you find all over the site. Abilities are items so you are free to buy and sell them to other Paladins
When your Pali level up, they gain 20 SP that you can spend on stats (HP, Strength, Defense, Magic Attack, Magic Defense)
Pali that spawn on maps can drop items and rubies. There are various quests that will ask you to defeat a certain amount of Pali for rewards
Some abilities have unique attributes such as slowing down an opponent, healing and doing triple damage once in a while
Captured Pali are always kept at level 1. Captured Pali will be added to your Battle Squad unless it is full, in which case it's sent to your Looking Glass

Palia - Story
http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/story1.png
As well as exploring and battling, you can also follow the RPG story while you continue. The story features you as the main character and will unlock new areas in the RPG for you to visit. It'll also give you tips and a nice introduction into the world of Paladore. Those who complete the story will receive a unique trophy for their profile. The story will also introduce various auto-boss's that you can battle to test your skill as a Paladin. So make sure you train your Pali up!

More of the Preview!

World Of Paladore
http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/world.png
Of course, if battling isn't your thing then we have tried to come up with lots of other activities that you can do. Other areas of the site include questing, the shop of doom, Academies, Games Arcade, Casino, Gardens and the Palamorph Moon: Lucier. We are always adding new locations all the time and when the time comes, you'll be able to visit other islands too!

Game Arcade
http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/game1.png
We offer a wide range of different games to play on Paladore, and we will try and keep a steady flow of new ones added. The Flash games have their own unique level-up system in which you can earn more rubies by increasing your level in a game. If you are able to achieve high scores in games, you can level up much quicker than if you send in low scores. There is no limit to the amount of times you can play, but there is a limit on the amount of rubies you can get.
http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/game2.png
There are various unlocks that you can gain by playing Flash Games too. They don't require you to attain the highest scores - just to be consistent. You can unlock trophies for getting a high level, playing the game a certain amount of times or even unlock avatars at various stages.

http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/game3.png
As well as Flash games, you can also play browser-based games. We have a Casino which includes lots of fun gambling games where you can waste your Rubies away or, if you're lucky, earn bazillions more! More games are always added to this area of the site so we will try and keep the area nice and fresh.

Palapees & Gardens
http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/game4.png
Another area of the site is something we like to call "Palapees". What are they? Palapees are like your average typical virtual pet; you can train them in a training center, equip weapons onto them, feed them different foods and you can also colour them by using fancy potions. Since Pali aren't your traditional virtual pet, we still wanted to be able to offer that experience for those who love them. You can gain one free Palapee from the Palapee NPC, but after that, you must capture them through the use of Gardens.

Much like the general meaning behind the name, Gardens allow you to grow various plants that will yield you Rubies. On occasion, some plants will also give you items and on extremely rare occasions you can also find unique Palapee species. Plants grow over time so keep checking back on your garden to harvest the goods and plant more stuff! There is also a level up system for garden which unlock new plants for you to grow.

Collections
http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/game5.png
We wouldn't a virtual pet site without plenty of items to collect, right? Well... we offer many different items to collect, plus we also offer rewards for collecting them. Stamps, Relics, Plushies, are all restockable items. Trading Cards can only be obtained by opening Booster Packs found around the site; Books come from various areas and Legendary items are Cashshop Collectibles (you can take these out of your collection). Since Books are readable items, you can click on them once they're in your collection and read the story that is attached to them. (@joy came up with this ) We also have the ability to assign quizzes and prizes to stories to see if you've been reading them :P

Adventure
http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/game6.png

The Adventure System allows you to play various elements of the site in order to capture Pali. This is our alternate method for capturing Pali in case you don't particularly have much interest in Battling or prefer exploring something different. The Adventure system allows you to pick Islands to "Adventure" on. You will then be given a list of tasks to complete, which can be anything from playing Flash Games, completing Quests, mining, fishing or alchemy games, restocking an item, battle with your Palapee, etc. If you find one task too difficult, you can quit it and continue your adventure at the cost of some energy. Energy depletes as you take on Adventures and resets at the top of each hour. You may also "boost" another members energy, but only if you're a Premium Member.

App Bar
http://www.virtualpetlist.com/pala/cashbar.png
One of the unique features of Paladore is the introduction of the AppBar. This will allow you to customize the site to suit your needs. You can select Apps from the AppBar store and they will then appear on your AppBar. Some Apps will cost you money, such as AutoQuester and AutoPricer, but then you also get the regular free ones such as the Shoutbox, Quick Search and Helpful Holly (who provides useful information depending on the page you're visiting). You can easily turn them on or off and it allows us (the staff) to create brand new apps which make playing Paladore more easier, such as adding a Quick Links app which allows you to store useful links such as dailies or quests. Depending on your browser screen, you may wish to only use one or two Apps at a time; but you can have as many as you want in your AppBar. Enabling them is just one click away.

There is still a lot more to show, but I don't want to spoil everything. We haven't even covered the basics like trading Pali, User Shops, Inventory, Storage, Bank and Bank Quests, Human Avatars, The Looking Glass, Forums, Hidden Avatars and Challenges. You'll just have to come play when we open on November 11th

Is this spam? I can't tell; it's very well done.

[kristie91]

Its not spam the site is real you can click on the links... The first one is the actual site. Unless this topic doesn't go here then its spam but the site is really real.


Edit-I guess I can see how it is spam.. but the reason I posted it all was to show people what paladore is.. I guess I should of just linked to the site with the preview instead of taking the time to post the entire preview on here.
My question to you guys though is do you think you'd play it?

[paksetti]

Looks like Neopets+Pokemon+Animu Wizards.


meh. It's cute I guess. That cop sure looks menacing...

[kristie91]

Lol yeah..
I'm hoping to get some people interested in joining it. or discussing it!

[~Dee~]

This is a kids game right? Why do I want to play a kids game, I don't!

[kristie91]

Well I guess it is kind of kiddy. There will probably be a decent amount of older teenagers and young adults. But everyone for themselves!
