The cinematic trailer for the launch of Tarisland:
Give Tarisland a chance if you…
- want to dive into a freshly released MMORPG with other genre fans.
- put a strong focus on PvE content like quests, dungeons, and raids.
- are looking for a new MMORPG with free access for PC.
- find it exciting to experience the game on both PC and your mobile device.
- had a lot of fun with WoW in the past and are now looking for an alternative that has drawn inspiration from the Blizzard MMORPG in many areas.
- prefer to experience PvP in instanced areas like arenas and battlegrounds, enjoy climbing PvP ranks, and prefer that the gear of all participants in PvP content is balanced.
- find the mix of tab-targeting and still comparatively action-packed combat exciting.
You might want to ignore Tarisland if you…
- prefer hefty combat systems like that of Black Desert.
- like a classic tab-targeting system like in WoW and FFXIV, with multiple packed skill bars.
- are looking for a new MMORPG with a strong sandbox or PvP focus.
- get annoyed by generic fantasy worlds of Asian developers presented in a colorful graphic style.
- also seek an engaging story, excitingly written quests, and well-drawn characters in MMORPGs.
- get headaches at the thought of Free2Play models with in-game shops, multiple currencies, and real-money components.
- prefer to experience MMORPGs with a controller on the console.
Tips and hints for getting started
If you wish to give it a try, here are some tips and recommendations as well as an overview of the nine classes to ensure your start in Tarisland goes as smoothly as possible.
MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier has already played the Chinese release version of Tarisland and confirmed his first impressions from previous test phases there. Although the MMORPG is released simultaneously for PC and mobile devices, the developers clearly focus on the player experience on PC. This is different from many other MMORPGs for PC and mobile.
Moreover, Cedric never felt that he was failing at a group challenge because teammates were sitting in front of their smartphones and couldn’t get anything done. You can read his complete impressions here: Tarisland is neither a WoW clone nor a mobile game; it is the next big MMORPG
