Another MMO bites the dust

If you spend countless hours on Facebook boosting the stats of your Order & Chaos Online character, we suggest you stop.


Gameloft's MMORPG will be closing its doors indefinitely on December 20th.


As you can see for yourself in the screenshot below, though, you'll still be able to "fight along with friends" in the iPhone, iPad, and Android versions of the fantasy title.

History lesson


Gameloft's massively multiplayer online role-playing game hit Mark Zuckerberg's social network back in July. You can play completely free of charge until you hit level ten.


From that point on, a subscription - paid for with Facebook credits - is required to progress further.


I have e-mailed Gameloft for more details & will update this post when i get a reply.

Subscription Renewal Time for Order & Chaos is Here – Will you do it?

For those players of Order and Chaos that got into the game in the first week, the time to pay to renew your subscription is here. While the cost is low (£0.69 a month, £1.49 for three months or £1.99 for six months) it does make you reflect on where you are with the game, and where you want to be in the future. Since the game has started there has only been one update of any significance. This update brought about some much-needed changes – crafting skill switches, server transfer, portal in Greenmont, more repeatable quests for dry quest areas – but lacked in additional content or pvp that people were clamoring for. We do know we are getting a larger update soon (in the next month) that will give as our first dungeon, but is it enough to keep people paying that fee? Does the announcement of Order and Chaos for Facebook make you feel more or less confident about the future of Order & Chaos?

Personally, my feeling is that Gameloft needs to decide if Order and Chaos Online is a subscription MMO with downloadable content packs (expansion packs) like World of Warcraft, or if it is going to be a free to play mmo where you buy additional perks (teleporting, pets, etc). Trying to have it both ways seems to just annoy people.

So will you pay that subscription fee when it comes time and what are you reasons for or against? Let us know in the comments.

Order & Chaos Online

After buying this game, I really, really thought it was worth my time & effort to write a little review. The game has only been out for a few days, so this is by no means a complete review.


Enjoy :)


Order & Chaos is a MMORPG for most iOS devices.

The game is made by Gameloft they are pretty much known for taking popular console or PC games and making a similar game for your mobile device.  There are allot of people that complain about this.  But I for one am happy they do this because you get very ambitious games like this.  Also they do a pretty decent job at it.  This game will be mainly compared to a little game you may have heard of called World of Warcraft.

Order & Chaos Online is £3.99 in the App Store.  This comes with 3 months of online subscription.  As far as I can tell you can keep on playing even if you do not pay the monthly fee - you just get limited access to in-game content. After the 3 months you will need to pay monthly at 59p, 3 months at £1.19, or 6 months for £1.79.  I don't feel this price is to much if they are able to keep people interested and able to provide new content.


The game contains 4 races Human, Elf, Orc, Undead.  You can then choose between male or female.  Then you can choose your class Warrior (good we weapons and armor), Mage (powerful spell caster), Monk (important healing skills), Ranger (good a ranged weapons). When you get to customizing it seems a little limited.  So not sure how many configurations of characters you are going to see out there.

The controls are fairly standard for this kind of 3rd person view you have.  The left side virtual thumb stick controls your characters movement.  You can swipe just about anywhere else to look around.  On the right you have your options for attacks and spells and jumping.  


Menus are pretty straight forward.  You can look at your Bag it contains your items.  Under Character you see what clothing, armor, weapons you have equipped.  Quest is where you can select or view and drop quests you have accepted.  Spells is where you can change the spells you are using also under Talents you can upgrade your talent tree.  I have not gotten much into the Social or Team options but will try them out soon.

Graphics on this game are very good.  This could easily be one of the best looking games on the iOS platform at the moment, and shows the iPhone / iPad can compete with the DS & PSP. Although the screen looks a bit cramped on the iPhone version, it still looks amazing.



I don't have allot to talk about game play other then it seem to be pretty standard getting a quest and doing what you need to finish it.  I am hoping there is some good variety in the quests.  I really don't want it to be come a grind fest. The game is also missing a few key items that I hope Gameloft will bring soon. There are no Dungeons, no real raids & no Mounts. None of there are missed at the moment, but when players start hitting the level cap (I believe it's 50 right now), these thing will be essential to the games survival.

I believe this is a game that will keep me playing for some time. It wont make me leave Final Fantasy XIV or Rift, but I think this it's a game I can pickup and play when there is nothing on the TV, or when i'm in work :). This could really be World Of Warcraft mobile. After I get some more time into this game I will post a full review.
