A Review of DragonFable Free Online RPG
Intro to Dragon Fable: A No-Cost Internet Role-Playing Game to Play
Aug 3, 2008
DragonFable, a web browser-based fantasy game, is a fun distraction when one has time to kill (often literally) on the Internet. In fact, this online RPG can be quite addictive. There are many interesting characters to meet, mysterious places to explore, weapons to acquire, and enemies to defeat. This is all done in order to progress in the game, gain experience, and uncover ever-deepening plot secrets.
This game is different from the RPG AdventureQuest, as it has a more complex storyline to uncover and faster action. Both games are well-animated and have, as Courtney Nawara (Executive Game Administrator at Artix Entertainment) calls it, a "campy humor aspect" which she feels "...is one of the biggest draws of the game." Most certainly this is true as players observed engrossed in the game (August 2008) were prone to laugh out loud in the middle of play.
All in all, DragonFable is an amusing and challenging game that requires quick thinking and strategy.
Playing DragonFable RPG Online for Free (A Quick Newbie Intro)
To start, a new player is directed to design an avatar, choosing his or her own hero's appearance, battle strategy type (such as mage, fighter, or rogue), and name. This pulls one immediately into the fun of the game as one "becomes" the character...hence, the role-playing part. Each role choice brings its own skills and features, which will make a difference in the game play. Once a player’s character is ready, the game is on.
During the game, one meets various good and evil beings. If a player goes in not knowing what to expect, simply wandering around exploring, talking to folks, and clicking on various areas on the computer screen will eventually lead to perilous and exciting (or sometimes funny) quests. A beginner will quickly catch on to how characters move and interact. At first the game might seem a little slow to those used to live video-game action. However, over time battles become more and more dramatic and challenging as a player gains experience and rises in level.
In this game, players can play for short or long periods of time. As long as one completes a "quest," data is automatically stored for the next time one logs in as their character of choice.
Playing Online for Free
Playing for free is a great option for those wishing to try out the game. It is simple to register and one does not have to spend any money in DragonFable to have a great time for endless hours.

Upgrading DragonFable by Buying a Dragon Amulet
While DF may be played at no cost, one may also purchase an upgrade Dragon Amulet that allows a player more options in the game. These enhancements are discussed in the article DragonFable Online RPG's Amulet Upgrade Review.
Final Review Notes
Though DragonFable is a game of battling monsters and odd undead beings, it is not too dark for most players age 13 and up, depending on the individual. The humor in this RPG breaks the tension of the bloodless (but often creepy) fight scenes and good generally wins over evil. Artix Entertainment has created a game where the animation, characters, and plot in DragonFable are clever and will keep players engaged and amused online.
