Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted Dragon Combat

Check out my new channel if you are into outdoor related videos, insects, animals and other nature related videos. There is also soothing music to sit back and listen to.

Horizons: Empire of Istaria is an older MMORPG (much older), and has a small population base. It still lives on, though. Graphics are very nice too, especially for an older game. Plus its only MMORPG I know of that lets you play as a dragon, and you can fly too. I'm only on the 14 day trial, so I've still only seen a small part of the game. Later, you can (as a dragon) build your own lair, or as one of the biped races can build player cities and your own house. Crafting is some of the best in a MMO as well, though, haven't delved too much into it.

This video mostly shows what low level combat for a dragon is like.

The music is wonderful, is it a track from the game, or did you put it in there?

[Vendayn]

@Southparkdragon

its a soundtrack from the game

[Xaijo93]

can i be a dragon if i i have a free acce??

[Vendayn]

No, need to be on a trial account or paid account to be able to use a dragon. Free access limits you to only human

[Kaibutsu13]

i wish it was free :( then i might join

[Vendayn]

It actually sorta is. There is a completely free mode, but limited to human only character and no plot of land...other than that, everything else is free. Then the 14 day trial (no plot of land), but can play as any character, but then you do need to pay. And then 15 dollars a month for the full features.

But there is a free mode, a bit limited though.

lol this look bored dragon fighting tree monster <,<

[SanDragon]

Yay! The rampant ignorance in some of these comments just makes me all kinds of twitchy. Neither WoW nor Istaria is free to play. Both were released within a year of each other. WoW = Nov 2004; Horizons = Dec 2003. Nothing fantasy is original., it's as old as humanity itself. I can't comment about WoW, as I haven't played it for long enough to comment. I made a charcacter, under a trial account, and that's as far as I got. Horizons, though, I've been playing for 2 years. It rocks. Play a Dragon!

@hovsep56 Ikr X_x

@TKCAnimations Well then THANK GOD its not a rip off!

Sadly, the combat still sucks. You know, pressing numbers and waiting for your character to kill the monster is just plain boring. Why not the normal combat system?

Zelda OOT - style one for instance?... -_-

[SamTheDragon31]

@Crystalbloxcorp This was out a full year ahead of WoW. The only reason why it didn't get the hype as intended is becaue Atari, like all of its other games, abandon it and left it to die. This is the ONLY MMORPG on the internet where you can play the role of a dragon.

[DMZreds]

Heven and Hearth is way better!

@Crystalbloxcorp

Geez ... sorry to say but you're a total dumbass at least do some research before posting rude comments , Istaria/Horizons is way older than WoW . + it's nowhere even nearly the same. Give it a chance before you go presuming things.

Considering the fact that it's really old, it's a great game and to answer the other questions, no it's not a free to play game, you pay to play, though it does have a free trial of 2 weeks.

[Crystalbloxcorp]

Another WoW Rip-Off. Seriously. Stop copying a fucked up combat from it...

[unnamednewbie13]

@Vendayn I mentioned this on another vid. My reason for checking this game out was to see what it was like to play as the dragons. When I found out I couldn't, it shoved the game WAAAAY down on my backlog list of games to play.

Hundreds of games where I can make a human 'toon...

[Peep215]

@TheBrightondube This game is old ... it was pretty pro back in the day.

[Link4661]
