There's been a lot of flame wars throughout the net about 4Story being a World of Warcraft (WoW) Ripoff. I personally believe that despite awkward similarities, these games are still fantasy RPGs and would more or less be quite like each other regardless of their story or interface. When I started playing 4Story gold, I was surprised as to how WoW-like it was. Then again, if this type of gameplay makes this MMO work then I guess it was a good choice for an interface. People have debated and argued about the game's so-called "Lack of originality". But then again, There's been a lot of click and attack games that look more similar to each other than this game does to WoW. Let's dive in and see what this game has to offer.

Some Similarities
Referring to what I stated above, If you like World of Warcraft then you're definitely going to love this game. Some people scurry around the net for free-to-play games that cater the same features of the highly renowned game World of Warcraft. After seeing this game, I surprised as to how WoW-like everything was. It's as though every aspect of the game from questing to combat has been based on its pay-to-play (P2P) counterpart. A poor man's WoW? I don't think so. Despite its similarities, 4 Story gold still has a lot of things that makes it loved by MMO players worldwide.

4 Story Gold focuses on the world of Iveria where three kingdoms (namely: DeFugel, Craxion and Broa) suddenly waged war on one another. The game doesn't really cater much of a storyline aside from you being the legendary hero who was bound to change the cruel fate that beheld Iveria (yeah... you, me and everyone who plays this game).

Characters
Upon creating a character you'll be prompted to choose one of three races. The three races (Human, Fairie, Werebeast) are there to amplify your class' playstyle. A Werebeast for example has a high strength rate and low mana. This makes them formidable melee attackers while the humans get a perfectly balanced stat that can do less damage in that field. If you're gonna choose a class, then why not boost its efficiency through your race?

The ingame classes are pretty much the same as that of World of Warcraft. Although they are referred to differently, you'll be seeing a lot of similarities if you've played both games. This however doesn't kill the fun since even though it's practically guilty about mimicking a game, at least it mimicked a pretty good one. The classes are as follows: archer, assassin, priest, summoner, warrior, or wizard. Yeah it's pretty easy to see that they're practically re-sculpted versions of WoW classes but hey, no complaints here.
