Just without the expensive expansion packs and monthly fees.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a real \u201cMMO-maniac\u201d then you probably would\u2019ve already guessed that <em>DOAK<\/em> includes mounts, guilds, massive Kingdoms, PvP, extensive character customization and chatting with other players from all over South Africa. However, there are some other really interesting unique gameplay functions to feel ecstatic about!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-01.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-88573\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-88573\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-01-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"Destiny of Ancient Kingdoms 01\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-01-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-01-230x130.jpg 230w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-01-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-01.jpg 1430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Everybody knows that most MMORPG\u2019s have mounts, but not many of them include such a vast variety of mounts. In Destiny of Ancient Kingdoms there are over 28 different mounts such as: various horses, dragons, unicorns, saber-tooth tigers, a phoenix and even Santa\u2019s sleigh!<\/p>\n<p>I was really blown away when I found out that <em>Destiny of Ancient Kingdoms<\/em> offers you the chance to become King of their online Kingdoms, with real responsibilities and real servants.<\/p>\n<p>This online Kingdom structure works really well to helps you realize your character\u2019s role in the story other than just killing monsters to complete tasks and forming strong guilds to raid resources.<\/p>\n<p>Another unique aspect of this game is the way in which treasure is found in treasure hunting tasks. The only clue you get is a screenshot of where the treasure is hidden Instead of a map to lead you there.<\/p>\n<p>So pay careful attention to certain geographic traits of the different lands to figure out where the treasure can be found.<\/p>\n<p><em>UDEA<\/em> truly did their best to make this local production as lekker as possible. The trees in the morning breeze village remind me of the Jacaranda\u2019s of Jozi, and there\u2019s even a Cape of Good Hope.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-02.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-88575\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-88575\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-02-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"Destiny of Ancient Kingdoms 02\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-02-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-02-230x130.jpg 230w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-02-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-02.jpg 1426w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also choose from various different skin tones to suit all the colours of our beautiful Rainbow-nation. Oh and don\u2019t be surprised if you see the residents of the Kingdoms add a little \u201ceish\u201d to their sentences every once in a while.<\/p>\n<p>The graphics are surprisingly good for a 1GB game when it\u2019s on maximum settings. If you consider that UDEA used an older generation of graphics software to accommodate more players, then I think you will agree that things are much more exciting when everyone can join in the fun.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-03.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-88577\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-88577\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-03-640x360.png\" alt=\"Destiny of Ancient Kingdoms 03\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-03-640x360.png 640w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Destiny-of-Ancient-Kingdoms-03-230x130.png 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I would seriously suggest playing this game before rushing to any conclusions about it.
