Today marks the beginning of the conquest of Grand Fantasia MMO from AeriaGames. So I've downloaded the game, installed and patched, and am ready to roll my first character. In the past, I've dabbled in WOW, and FFXI, but could never get into the idea that I needed to pay a monthly subscription to play a game I already own.

I've decided to roll a Pally since they tend to last longer. As a newbie to the game, this seems like a logical choice.

So the standard 'Lets type a name' and 'How does my character look' concepts are still in place, but now I get to choose my 'Companion for life', my pet, my Sprite. Since I want to be a Paladin, I have several choices, The most obvious ones are Axe specialist, Sword specialist, Shield specialist or Warrior Armor specialist. (Warriors can go on to become Berzerkers or Paladins) Since I don't have much to go on, I'm choosing an Armor sprite as my pet.

Click Create Character, and thus SNOCONE is born!

CHEESY intro play about how I'm going to save the world by training up my little blob of joy!

Ok, so now its off to kill stuff!!!

More to come!
