Overview

Zentia featured a humorous comic book style in 3D, unique characters, and a unique social leveling feature that required the entire community to work together to open higher-level game content. New players chose one of 24 pre-made characters, each of which represents a different immortal hero sent to banish the world of demons. The game had a pet system where nearly half of all creatures encountered can be tamed as pets or mounts. Individual mounts can carry anywhere from one to ten players. The game also included a rich crafting system and many PvP options. The guild system is extensive, acting as a larger clan which contains smaller clans, turning those clans into a sort of alliance. Along with a guild comes a guild city that holds quests, instances, and NPCs. Players could choose among various classes that had different basic mechanics.
