Onrpg: What makes Flyff such a unique free MMO?

Pavels: Flyff is one of the few free MMOs that display a willingness to evolve. As time goes on, the game experience shifts in an attempt to keep players interested and excited. We also pride ourselves on our wonderful community. Flyff penya is one of the few MMOs that emphasises GM interaction with players on a daily basis in order to keep in touch with what our players want and need. Our players are very friendly and willing to help each other. They support each other and are generally more active in game, in events and on our forums than other MMOs.

Onrpg: How strong is the current PvP aspect of the game?

Pavels: Although PvP is not the focus of Flyff, we do have a cluster with a few channels dedicated to straight hardcore PvP. No one (except low level players) is safe there. It can be tough for inexperienced players so we offer double EXP and double the normal item drop rate in those channels. While the PvP aspect of Flyff penya may be challenging, it is also very enjoyable. The atmosphere on our PvP servers can be very competitive; however the players on these servers also form some of the closest communities in Flyff.

Onrpg: Could you please offer us some information on your current events?

Pavels: In conjunction with our holiday events, we are also currently running the “Christmas” event, which includes the “Quest for the Golden Apples.” Players who choose this quest from Santa are give then task to collect Golden Apples so that Santa can make his special Golden Apple Pies for Rudolph. Without these pies, Rudolph won’t have enough energy to lead Santa’s sleigh! As a reward for the player’s help, Santa will give him/her a Red Stocking filled with holiday related items. Another part of the event involves the Mysterious Collector who just happens to love Santa’s special Red Stockings. Players can trade their Red Stockings with the Mysterious Collector for a special Christmas Gift.

Onrpg: What is your favorite aspect of the game?

Pavels: My favorite aspect of Flyff is actually one of the new systems that was recently implemented with the introduction of Version 12. The Lord system was one of the biggest changes that Flyff penya has seen recently. It also happens to be one of the most unique and dynamic. The Lord system allows players to vote for their own “Lord” on each server. This Lord is given many responsibilities and exclusive powers. Most importantly, the Lord has the ability to set increased drop and EXP events for the players on his/her server. The ability to run these events rests on how much revenue (in game virtual currency) is collected from taxes and donations from players. Lords have the ability to adjust the tax rates for their servers as well as receiving rare items that are exclusive to being Lord. It's as close to being a GM (Game Master) as most players will get and it's cool to see the effect it has on our community.

Onrpg: What is your favorite character class, and why?

Pavels: Personally, Blades are my favorite. There's nothing like holding two giant, flaming swords and knowing that anyone you come across is going to be a bit more intimidated by you. My playing style in games tends to be aggressive, so the Blade class is very suited to me. It may also have something to do with the fact that I don’t have the patience to be a Magician.
