Hello everyone and welcome to Elsword!
Introduction: What is Elsword?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nMdKlkusVk
Why hello everyone and welcome to the new thread about a certain MMO called Elsword. Elsword is a 3D side-scrolling MMOG created by KOG studio, currently released in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Germany, and North America. It is the spiritual successor to Grand Chase. Elsword has improved on systems Grand Chase had, along with more Animesque graphics and improved gameplay. Instead of making rooms like in Grand Chase, you get to explore the whole world of Elsword (which is still a side-scroller platformer Beat 'em Up). Like Grand Chase, this game subverts the norm by giving players a few preset characters instead of having a character creator. The first set of available characters includes Elsword, the hot-headed Swordsman, Rena, the cool and calm Archer, and Aisha, the arrogant Mage. Other characters include Raven, a war-veteran Cyborg, Eve, a Robot Girl, Chung, a young boy with an over-sized cannon, Ara, a spear-wielding martial artist and in some servers, Elesis, Elsword's sister that makes a come back from Grand Chase and Add, a time traveler hellbent on capturing Eve.
In this game players do Dungeon Crawling, though it's not as much "dungeons" as they're "stages". Instead of traditional dungeons there is an obviously more linear and are designed well... like stages from traditional platforming games. The basic goal of each dungeon is to defeat any enemy in your way to proceed to the next room of the dungeon, rinse and repeat until you reach the boss of the dungeon. Don't be too quick to think that it's as easy as it sounds. As their can be obstacles in the stages ranging from falling boulders which can strike you if you're not careful, to bottomless pits and security lasers that damage you and call in more foes if you touch one. This means that each dungeon is gonna bring in a new set of challenges for the player from time to time.
There are even challenging Secret Dungeons, end game dungeons that will provide a greater challenge to players lvl 60 and higher. These have a rather high difficulty spike (some max level players have some hard times with these dungeons at times), then their is the dangerous Field Raid Boss Eltrion, a dangerous and power boss that can only be fought at certain times. The boss is rather difficult and should only be fought against players who are truly prepared for it. Oh and don't forget Henir's Time and Space, a long and intense boss rush of all the bosses in the game. This Dungeon grants rewards to players depending on how well they do, and how far they make it in Henir's Time and Space.
I should also mention the fields in between towns that allows players to grind and fight outside of dungeons.
Heck there is even a marriage system in this game if you happen to go through with it.
I would not say that this game is by no means perfect, and it does have its flaws. However that should not stop one from finding a pretty decent game underneath the surface.

Like with most MMO's that have guilds or clans, Elsword has it's very own guild system as well. Allowing players to make their own guild, and have their friends (or total untrustworthy strangers) join. Their are several benefits to being in a guild.
1: Players in a guild gain certain bonuses depending on the rank and the level of the guild thanks to guild skills. These guild skills range from granting players increased healing rate from items, increased EXP when playing with other guild members in a party (max party size is 4 except for a few instances), increased gold drop rate, passive boosts to offensive and defensive stats, and several others.
2: If you are in a guild with friends you can more easily keep in contact with them in a game. This is because like in most games, one can see if other Guild Members are online. As such if you need help with something you can always check to see if their are any guild members online at the time that would be willing to help you with what you need.
3: Playing with other guild members are just so much fun! Much like playing with friends in any MMO, and in game, playing with other guild members can be a lot more fun and even more satisfactory than playing with complete strangers at times. Especially if the guild has members you have grown to trust, and consider friends (or at least acquaintances.)
Well those are all the benefits of being in a guild in Elsword. There are other benefits that I cannot name at the top of my head right now.
Now obviously the reason why I'm bringing this up is because I have a guild just for the Yukkuricraft community!
El Assault Team 9 is a guild that I had made quite a long time ago, and I originally intended it to be for the YC community. However I had not made a thread about it before. As such the only members in the guild are Zekai (Co Owner of the guild), WriggleRid3r, SerenGrace, and myself (owner.) The guild has quite a few empty slots for it for other people to join! The guild in Elsword has been quite lonely with the only truly active members being Zekai and well... myself. Hence why I am making this thread! To hopefully bring in a crowd of the Yukkuricraft community to Elsword. I mean aren't we all trying to spread our big, happy family to other online games? Me and Zekai (and hopefully others) are frequent players of this online game to the point where we have a guild dedicated to Yukkuricraft Members! So why not make a thread about this?
How to Join:
Well first before you can join the guild you either need to have an already existing Elsword account, or make one.
You can go to the main website (linked below) to sign up, and download. The download shouldn't take too long, and signing up is rather easy. Once then you can choose a character to play as (you choose a character to play as rather that create one from scratch like some other MMO's, and thankfully each character has their own unique playstyle and has different classes to add a lot more variety.) After you make a character just send a PM to me, or Zekai (since he is a co-owner, and as such can invite others) requesting to join the guild. You can also hopefully catch either one of us on the Mumble as well. So if you can catch me or Zekai on Mumble just ask about the guild.
If you are new to the game then feel free to ask Zekai or me to help you out. We will be willing to help you get a hang of the game, and even help get you some nice items as well.
If you already happen to have an account just send a friend request to:
PsychoCross: My current Lunatic Psyker, Add, and the leader of the guild. He is at lvl 60.
ZeroZekai: Zekai's Infinity Sword, Elsword, and the Administrator of the guild (co-owner).
