A champion is a being or person that has been summoned to wage battle in the League of Legends on the Fields of Justice. They are the player-controlled character in League of Legends.
As the League of Legends was established to prevent further Rune Wars on Valoran, the neutral aligned summoners called forth exceptional individuals, referred to as "Champions", to battle on the Fields of Justice in order to settle disputes. These champions have joined the League for various reasons. Some are soldiers who have pledged their allegiance to a particular nation and fight in their nation's interests. Some are renowned warriors who seek to prove themselves against Valoran's most powerful beings. Some are prisoners of the League, forced to do the League's bidding as punishment. Some may even be strange creatures from other worlds, hoping to bring stability or further discord to Runeterra. For whatever the champion's reason, they have gained the interest of the League of Legends.
In order to join the League, a potential champion, who has proven to possess extraordinary qualities, must travel to the Institute of War to undergo a Judgement. There, a designated summoner will probe their mind in order to determine the individual's motives. In truth, the intentions of the potential champion has little bearing on whether they are accepted into the League or not. The primary purpose of the Judgement is to determine whether the individual is capable of exposing their mind to the summoner, which would allow the two to share their mental thoughts and act as one. Should the potential champion pass their Judgement, as well as agreeing to the call of the summon, they will have become an official League champion.
DevelopmentRiot Games develops new champions for League of Legends, and each champion is individually designed to have unique abilities and traits that a player must use wisely. Some champions use brute strength and power, others use deadly and cunning precision, while others use supernatural vision and magic, etc.
There were 40 champions released at launch, with one released approximately every two weeks for some time. About 8–10 champions are in development at any moment. Each week there is a rotation of ten champions that are available to play for free. For those that bought the Collector's Edition, 20 champions are automatically unlocked; another 20 can be unlocked by buying the Champion Bundle through the game client. All champions, however, can be unlocked with Influence Points or Riot Points at the Riot Store in-game.
Champions Retrospective
Announcement made by NeeksNaman:[1]Between a Sad Mummy, a Madman of Zaun, a Blind Monk, a Nine-Tailed Fox and a Dark Child, the League of Legends has seen the introduction of some crazy, unconventional, and downright badass characters over the years.
Creating compelling champions is our passion, and a great deal of care and effort goes into handcrafting every one of them. Your passion fuels our own, and we learn a lot from your forum discussions and heated battles on the Fields of Justice. In this Retrospective, our co-founders, Brandon "Ryze" Beck and Marc "Tryndamere" Merrill team up with some of the Rioters behind the champions to give you a taste of the "secret sauce" that makes a League of Legends champ.
Champions generally fall into certain categories based on their skills. These are also called tags and are used on the attributes space on each champion main page and Ability Details page.
- Unlocked: The champion has been unlocked and can be used at any time.
- Free to Play: Reserved for the 10 free champions of the week. They are indicated with a (!) sign in the top right corner of the champion icon.
- Locked: The champion is unavailable for use. They are indicated with a grey picture of the champion.
Every champion is assigned to an epicness class, which is generally determined by the uniqueness of its design:
- Heroic (450 IP): 12
- Epic (1350 IP): 21
- Legendary:
Every champion is also assigned to a tier class.
- Tier 1 (260 RP): 12
- Tier 2:
- Tier 3:
List of champions
As of March 12th 2015 there are currently 124 released champions, with the latest being Bard, the Wandering Caretaker.
Champion Updates
Main article: Dev Blog: Champion Updates
This is a list of champions who have received any form of update from visual, to gameplay updates and full relaunches. For a look at smaller Texture Rebalances, visit this page and for a more detailed list of all Champion Reworks, visit this article.
Upcoming champion updates
- Gameplay Update
- This scale of rework covers changes to a champions kit beyond number tweaks. Animations and other visual effects may be updated, but the champions model and core theme are untouched. In some cases, the kit rework will "correct" the kit to match the intended theme. For example: Evelynn, Taric and Xin Zhao.
- Visual Update
- This scale of rework covers changes to a champion's model and artwork. This will often include a more up-to-date voice-over and lore, and may include bug-fixes and minor balance changes - but will not change the champion's core theme. For example: Soraka, Annie and Twisted Fate.
- Texture Update
- This scale of Visual Update focuses on champions whose models, rigs, animations, and other framework are in pretty decent shape, and all they need is some geometry tweaking on the model and texture polish for quality and readability's sake. For example: Anivia, Rammus and Skarner.
- IronStylus stated that Miss Fortune, Lux, and Vayne may be on the list for a "TU"[9]
- Almost all of the older champions (Before Lulu) have gotten some degree of a texture update to accommodate the Visual Update of Summoner's Rift.
- Visual and Gameplay Update
- This combines the above two categories. The scale of the kit rework is usually slightly larger than a kit rework alone as the developers can plan for more in-depth visual effects and model changes. The champion's core theme remains in-tact. For example: Katarina, Master Yi and Sejuani.
- Full Relaunch
- Unlike the previous classifications, a complete relaunch involves an overhaul to the champion's identity - focusing on some aspects while abandoning others. This affects the champion's lore, personality, art and model. The degree of the kit rework varies. For example: Karma and Trundle
- Unknown Scale
This is a list of champion concepts that started as an idea, but never reached a final product that could be shipped into the game. Some of these ideas have evolved into the art and/or design of certain champions that are in the game now.
|Concept name
|Concept art later incorporated on Riven
|Eagle Rider
|Likely redesigned into Quinn
|Elemental hydra
|Originally hinted by Ezreal[20], the concept got passed up early on as a personality couldn't be found for the idea.[21]
|Female engineer/mechanic
|Concept was later heavily re-purposed as Vi[22]
|Gavid, the Plant King
|Likely redesigned into Maokai[23] with several abilities later implemented onto Zyra
|Iron Engineer
|Concept art likely incorporated on Blitzcrank
|A pure tank, scythe champion. Was in development by Xypherous before its concepts were recycled onto Thresh
|Shelved concept that Riot couldn't find a suitable personality for.[25]
|Priscilla, the Spider Queen
|Concept redesigned into Elise
|Rob Blackblade, the Dashing Rogue
|Codename for an unnamed Sand Mage. Couldn't get the concept just right in the allotted time. Was shelved possibly in a similar fashion as Omen.[26] Eventually released as Azir [27]
|Tabu, the Voodoo Shaman
|Concept art likely incorporated into the Totemic Maokai skin
|Twin Yordle Concept[30]
|One has bombs and the other has a rocket launcher while being on a motorcycle plus side car. Idea was being developed by FeralPony before half of the concept turned into Ziggs
|Well, the Water Wizard
|Likely redesigned into Nami
The following champion was never released, but does contain lore, appears in several Champion Skins and is an Easter egg in several artworks:
- Urf the Manatee – April Fool's "mascot." Urf's form appears while playing the following skins:
- Urf the Manatee (2010)
- Urfrider Corki (2011)
- Fisherman Fizz (2012)
- Forecast Janna (2013)
- Urf can be seen trapped inside her Howling Gale
- Spirit Guard Udyr (2013)
- Urf's ghost appears for Udyr's joke
- Urf the Nami-tee (2015)

Styx Adds February Tour Dates
Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Styx is slowly adding new dates to its 2013 itinerary. The band now has four February shows on the books for Santa Ynez and Oroville, California; North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Orlando, Florida.
Styx co-founder and guitarist J.Y. Young told us that although Styx may be best known for its classic pop and ballad hits, the band's Chicago brand of prog rock remains a major component of its musical DNA: "Y'know, early on we were doing a lot of prog-type things back then. And, duh, The Grand Illusion -- that's pomp and circumstance -- (The) Grand Illusion; there ya go. So, it (was) a huge part of the influence before the super soft pop side of our band started to emerge in the late-'70s. And we've gone away from that. We're back, sort of, to the prog era. That's really what we've focused on at this point."
UPDATED: Styx tour dates (subject to change):
December 28 - Prior Lake, MN - Mystic Showroom
December 29 - Waukegan, IL - Genesee Theatre
December 30 - Merrillville, IN - Star Plaza Theatre
January 30 - Denver, CO - Paramount Theatre
February 1 - Reno, NV - Silver Legacy Resort Casino
February 4 - Bakersfield, CA - Majestic Fox Theater
January 18 - Cherokee, NC - Harrah's Cherokee Casino Event Center
January 19 - Fayetteville, NC - Crown Center
February 2 - West Wendover, NV - Peppermill Concert Hall
February 6 - Anaheim, CA - City National Grove Of Anaheim
February 7 - Santa Ynez, CA - Chumash Casino
February 8 - Temecula, CA - Pechanga Resort & Casino
February 9 - Oroville, CA - Gold Country Casino & Hotel

NEW YORK -- Joakim Noah loved shutting up the chatter almost as much as shutting down the Knicks.
He heard how Carmelo Anthony would come out firing after his suspension, how the Knicks would pay the Bulls back for a tense, testy meeting last month.
Turned out to be the same no contest it was last time.
Deng Connects From A Distance
Luol Deng scored a season-high 33 points Friday, including 17 on shots 15 feet or farther from the hoop. Carmelo Anthony struggled on the same shots against Deng's length, making just 4-of-15 attempts from that distance. Here's a look:
|Pts per FGA
|* 6-24 FG against Bulls this season
-- ESPN Stats & Information
Luol Deng scored a season-high 33 points in Chicago's third victory over New York this season, a 108-101 win Friday that sent the Knicks to their season-high third straight loss.
"I think it was a big game. A lot of people watching and everybody was saying the Knicks were going to get revenge for what happened last time, nah, nah, nah," Noah said, unable to contain his postgame smile. "And we came back, held it down again."
Noah couldn't contain his excitement while playing in front of family and friends, even breaking out his gun salute that he vowed to shelve after the shootings at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school, apologetically saying he just got too hyped up.
Topping the 29 points he scored here last month, Deng shot 13 of 18 from the field and also led the defensive effort that contained Anthony in the decisive first half of his return from a one-game suspension.
Carlos Boozer added 17 points for the Bulls, whose offense won't be at full strength until Derrick Rose is back from knee surgery, yet they still shot 57 percent.
Anthony ended up with 39 points for the Knicks, who were roughed up again a night after losing in Indiana. He shot 14 of 32 but said his struggles had nothing to do with Deng and that he simply missed shots he normally makes.
Without starting point guard Raymond Felton and key big men Marcus Camby and Rasheed Wallace, the Knicks lack the depth or sharpness on either end they had during their fast start to the season.
More On The Bulls
Can't get enough NBA news and notes? ESPNChicago.com has all the latest on the Bulls. Blog
"We definitely don't want to lose. We've got to bounce back, take it one day at a time, one game at a time," Anthony said. "Sunday is our next game, New Orleans, and that's a game that we have to go get. It's a must-win."
Rose is practicing and nearing his return after tearing up his knee in the opener of last season's playoffs. The Bulls have managed to stay among the top teams in the East without him, and three times have outclassed a Knicks team that has been in or near the conference lead all season.
"We've showed it this year, when we really focus and lock in, whoever we play we've been able to play with them, all the top teams, play them close whether we win or lose," Deng said. "We know that when we show up, and you know, stick to the game plan, we can really play with anyone in this league."
Richard Hamilton had 14 points as Chicago won for the fourth time in five games.
J.R. Smith shot 4 of 17 for his 13 points as the Knicks lost for the fifth time in seven games. Tyson Chandler grabbed 18 rebounds.
The Bulls held the Knicks to then-season lows of 85 points and 32 percent shooting in an eight-point victory in the first meeting, a game Anthony missed because of a finger injury.
He played the second one but was in the locker room before it ended, getting thrown out of a game that featured nine technical fouls and four ejections in a game the Bulls were dominating until the Knicks make it look respectable after all the fireworks were finished.
This one went the same way with Chicago building a 25-point lead before a Knicks flurry at the end made it look close on the scoreboard.
Knicks Blog
Looking for more Knicks news? ESPNNewYork.com has you covered. Blog »
Anthony sat out Thursday's 81-76 loss in Indiana for his postgame confrontation with Kevin Garnett after a loss to Boston here Monday, and Knicks coach Mike Woodson hoped the NBA's second-leading scorer would come out strong.
Instead, Anthony missed 10 of his 14 shots in the first half before nearly ending up with another 40-point game to add to the pair he had last week.
Boozer had his streak of double-doubles snapped at six, but Chicago had more than enough to improve to 9-1 against East teams on the road and 16-5 overall against the conference.
The Bulls scored the first five points and just kept pouring it on from there. They hit 11-of-19 shots in the first quarter, limited Anthony to 1-of-8 shooting and led by as many as 15 before taking a 29-18 advantage to the second.
Having already taken the fans out of the game, the Bulls then turned them on the Knicks. Deng had the last five points of a 17-6 run to open the second that gave Chicago a 46-24 lead, the boos growing with each basket.
The lead peaked at 25 when Deng picked up a turnover and dribbled all the way for a layup, and the Bulls took a 57-36 bulge to the locker room.
Chicago outshot New York 57.5 percent to 29.8 percent in the first half.
Consecutive 3-pointers by Steve Novak and Anthony brought the Knicks within 103-96 with 1:07 remaining, but Marco Belinelli hit five free throws from there to close it out.
The Knicks announced before the game that Camby, who had been starting, would miss two to four weeks after reinjuring his left foot. Woodson started Kurt Thomas in his forward spot and also benched Ronnie Brewer, who had started all but one of the first 35 games, and gave James White his third start of the season.
With Wallace still out with his foot injury and Amar'e Stoudemire on a minutes restriction as he plays his way back into shape following knee surgery, the Knicks lack the big bodies to face a physical team such as the Bulls.
"Whenever somebody goes down, somebody has to step up," Chandler said. "It's been unfortunate for us because it's kind of been a revolving door, in and out, guys getting hurt and banged up. But that's not an excuse. Somebody has step up and we have to fill the spot as a team."
Jason Kidd missed all six shots in a dreadful, no-point, no-assists performance, just the second in the regular season of his career, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
Game notes
Woodson wasn't sure if the Knicks would bring Iman Shumpert with them to London next week for their game against Detroit or leave him back in New York to work out or even play with their NBA Development League team. Shumpert has just been cleared to resume full workouts after tearing his ACL in last year's playoffs. ... Chicago has now won or tied the season series every year since 2001 except 2010-11.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Research Notes

Click on the Playoffs subtab of the League tab during your final regular season week for a detailed breakdown of possible playoff scenarios.
You'll see your odds of making the playoffs, winning the division, and earning a 1st round bye.
You'll also see what needs to happen for those outcomes by mousing-over the % value.
How is this calculated?
By simulating every conceivable win-loss outcome for your league's final regular season week.
Please note that this analysis doesn't account for changes in total points tiebreakers (so if you hold a slim lead in Total Points Scored and your league relies on that tiebreaker, this analysis assumes you'll continue to hold that lead after next week).
So it might say that you've been eliminated when you still have a shot at overtaking another team in total points scored.
How is this different from the clinching symbols on the standings page?
The clinch symbols on the standings page use a very simple analysis relying on current win-loss and number of games remaining. They do not factor future schedules into account. The playoffs page will have more accurate results.

Gross Domestic Product
Gross domestic product (G.D.P.) is equal to the market value of goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States, regardless of nationality.
The measure replaced gross national product (G.N.P.) as the primary measure of U.S. production in 1991. (G.N.P. accounts for total value of goods and services produced in a year by nationals, including income earned abroad, but does not include income earned within a country by foreigners.)

MORE

Reducing dietary salt consumption is a top priority in chronic disease prevention
Washington, D.C., September 11, 2009 (PAHO) — The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has formed an expert group to develop new recommendations for policies and actions to lower salt consumption in the Americas, in an effort to prevent deaths and illness from hypertension, heart and kidney failure, and stroke.
"If we lower daily salt consumption to less than 5 grams per person, we can prevent millions of deaths, and with an investment of less than 50 cents per person," said Prof. Norm Campbell, chairperson of the Regional Expert Group on Dietary Salt Reduction as a Population-Based Approach to Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases.
The group met at PAHO headquarters in Washington, D.C., this week to review scientific evidence, set priorities, and begin work toward a list of recommendations on reducing the amount of salt consumed by people in PAHO member countries.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has called on all the countries of the world to reduce salt consumption to no more than 5 grams per day per person, and several counties in the Americas Region—Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and Chile—have recently established national commissions or task forces to take action to reduce dietary salt consumption.
Typical modern diets provide excessive amounts of salt, from early childhood through adulthood. Consumption of more than 5 grams per day in a given population is known to increase the overall prevalence of high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for death from heart attacks, strokes, and kidney and heart failure. In many countries of the Americas, salt consumption is three times the recommended level.
Adding salt at the table is not the only problem. A large proportion of dietary salt comes from processed and restaurant foods, including bread, processed meats, and even breakfast cereals.
"This means working with the food industry to reduce salt is essential," said James Hospedales, PAHO senior advisor on prevention and control of chronic diseases. "Consumers have little control over the levels of salt in processed foods. They can only avoid processed foods altogether, but that's in some cases very difficult. By working with the food industry to change their practices, we can really make a difference in salt consumption at the population level."
Members of the expert group at this week's meeting showed that reducing salt consumption at the population level is one of the most cost-effective and equitable public health measures for reducing chronic diseases.
They also noted that a number of countries use salt to supply iodine as an essential nutrient or fluoride to prevent dental caries. However, the experts concluded that salt consumption can be reduced without compromising fortification efforts. The group agreed to approach UNICEF and the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency (ICCIDD), both of which promote salt fortification, to work collaboratively on the issue.
Salt fortification is one of many factors the experts will consider in developing specific recommendations for the countries of the Americas.
"We want our countries to join a global movement to reduce dietary salt," said Hospedales. "This initiative will have a major impact on improving lives and reducing deaths in the Americas from chronic diseases."
The Pan American Health Organization, founded in 1902, works with all the countries of the Americas to improve the health and quality of life of their peoples. It serves as the Regional Office of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Hi: 10° Lo:2°
By Nigel Slater Tuesday 20 November 2012 Updated: 29/11 13:53
MARKS and Spencer could be returning to Evesham after the retail giant submitted plans for a new store.
Up to 60 jobs would be created at the M&S Simply Food store which is being proposed for one of the empty units at Evesham Shopping Park on Worcester Road.
A planning application has now been sent to Wychavon District Council proposing a 9,000 sq ft store.
The town's previous Marks and Spencer Simply Food store, located in the Riverside Shopping centre, closed its doors three years ago despite pleas from shoppers, the district and the town council.
The application follows early discussions with Evesham Market Town Partnership and a public consultation which was held in Evesham Town Hall back in July.
The results of the consultation showed huge support for its return with nearly 95 per cent of the 218 visitors backing the early proposals.
Chris Fry, regional director for LaSalle Investment Management, said: "We know from the public consultation that there is overwhelming support from residents for a new M&S Simply Food store at Evesham Shopping Park.
"A Simply Food in Evesham will give residents who currently travel to Stratford-upon-Avon, Worcester and Cheltenham to buy food at M&S greater convenience.
"The new store will also be a vote of confidence in the future of Evesham."
Evesham resident Helen Donovan, who helped set up a Facebook group supporting the plans titled Bring Marks And Spencer's Back to Evesham, said she was delighted things were moving forward.
"There are a few empty units at Evesham Shopping Park and I can't think of anyone better than Marks and Spencer to put in it," she told the Observer.
"It was a real shame when we lost the last store but hopefully its return will help bring more people to the town and increase trade as well."

Angels Online
Angels Online Overview
Angels Online is a unique 2D Fantasy MMORPG by IGG. The game is set in the mythical world of Eden where both angels and humans roam the world. The game's most notable features are its original graphical style and the large number of playable classes. Start your adventure in Angels Online in Angel Lyceum, a college that trains angels, and work your way up to becoming an angel protector! Like Magic World Online, Godswar Online and With Your Destiny, Angels Online has a built in game bot called 'Angel Baby' which can be set to level up automatically while away from the computer. The game's fourteen playable classes are:
Combat Classes
Protector - Protectors have the highest physical defense and hitpoints in the game. They are the most powerful tanks in Angels Online.
Warrior - Warriors have the highest melee damage of all the combat-oriented classes. They can use dual axes or hammers and have fairly high hitpoints.
Spearman - Spearman can deal the most damage to heavily armored enemies, as their weapons can ignore some armor. Spearman have less hitpoints than warriors and protectors but they have more MP.
Swordsman - Swordsmen have the highest speed and agility of the melee-oriented classes. They can deal incredible amounts of damage in a relatively short period of time, but they have low defense and less hit points than the other melee classes.
Archer - Archers are the only class that can deal physical damage from a distance. They are very capable of dealing large amounts of damage from a distance but are extremely vulnerable in melee range.
Magic Classes
Summoner - Summoners wield powerful curse and summoning spells. They can summon powerful undead minions and cast dark spells.
Wizard - Wizards are the primary offensive spellcasting class in Angels Online. They can cast destructive direct damage spells, but they consume a lot of MP, so keep some MP potions on hand.
Magician - Magicians are a balanced spell casting class. They have strong nature spells and a mix of recovery and buff related spells as well. Like all of the other magic oriented classes, Magicians have low hitpoints and are vulnerable in melee range.
Priest - Priests are the primary 'healing' and 'buffing' class in Angels Online. They are extremely valuable to their party, but are weak by themselves.
Crafting Classes
Weaponsmith - Weaponsmiths are good at forging powerful metal weapons, digging ore and controlling robots. They are melee-oriented classes that can wear leather armor.
Armorsmith - Armorsmiths, as the name implies, are capable of forging armor and controlling robots. Like the weaponsmith, they can wear leather armor.
Tailor - Tailors are good at weaving magician robes and leather armor. They are also capable of fishing, as well as controlling robots. Like the other crafting classes, Tailors can wear leather armor.
Technician - Technicians can develop robot accessories and ornaments. They are adept at collecting and controlling robots.
Chef - Chefs are proficient at cooking healthy food that enhances abilities. They are adept at collecting, fishing and controlling robots.

Angels Online Review
By Omer Altay
Angels Online is an interesting little gem of an MMORPG that I only recently discovered. The game's overall graphic style is unique as well. The graphics look a bit like a mix between Ragnarok Online and Luminary: Rise of the Goonzu. Angels Online has a large population, an incredible amount of variety and a great crafting and resource gathering system. Sounds like a recipe for a good game doesn't it? Well, it sort of is. It's definitely one of the best games IGG has to offer and well worth checking out if you're looking for a new MMORPG to try.
First Impressions
Upon installing and launching Angels Online I was immediately impressed by the game's character customization options. I was able to select from twelve different hairstyles, thirty-six hair colors and twenty-six skin colors. You can also set your birthday, blood type, job and personality, but I'm pretty sure these options don't do anything, so try and have fun with them. The game's customization is certainly no Perfect World, but it's still significantly better than most MMORPGs, considering some don't even let you select your gender. The game's character selection screen quickly reminded me of Ragnarok Online, and upon actually logging into the game, the overall feel and camera of the game was also similar to that of Ragnarok, as the game has an overhead style camera. Upon entering the world of Eden I was quickly introduced to the game's tutorial, which is fairly short and informative. The game's overall combat and movement felt fluid and well-paced. You can select your character's class almost immediately after you log in to the game, and this is somewhere that Angels Online really shines.
What's the difference between a Warrior, A Swordsman and a Spearman?
So what is it? How about the difference between Magicians, Summoners and Wizards? Sure, they're all synonyms, but in Angels Online they're unique classes. Perhaps the game's most notable aspect is its large selection of playable classes. The game has a total of five melee classes, four magic user classes and five crafting classes for a total of fourteen playable classes. Sure there are only subtle differences between Spearman and Warrior, but the fact that the game has so many classes adds a great deal of variety. I'm tired of playing games with only three or four playable classes, so the fact that Angels Online has variety is a welcomed change.
Skills to Pay the Bills
The skill system in Angels Online is fairly simple, yet creative. Players 'level' their skills separate from their player level. The more a single skill or weapon is used, the more proficient the user becomes with it. For example, every time my Wizard casts 'Magic Bomb' my character becomes more proficient at casting all 'chaos' spells. If I want to improve my characters 'Meditate' skill I need to cast Life, Chaos, Wraith, or Earth spells. It's actually a pretty innovative system, as most free MMORPGs utilize a much simpler skill tree system. I've actually always preferred a steady skill progression system over simply distributing skill points, but this system is unfortunately easy to exploit by botters. Players can simply set up macros to cast 'buffs' on themselves every few minutes just to level up their skills without putting themselves in any danger. Then again, botters can ruin any game, so Angels Online can't be blamed for this. Some players may be turned off by the game's 'passive' progression, as both skills and attributes grow on their own without any user input. I personally would have liked to have a skill tree or talent tree like system in conjunction with what the game already has, so players have more control over their character, but overall the game's skill system is still satisfying.
Resource Gathering and Production
Since five of the game's classes are dedicated to crafting, it shouldn't be a surprise that Angels Online has a fairly extensive crafting and resourcing gathering system. Just about every class has the ability to mine and gather resources, but only the crafting classes can make use of the raw materials. Newbie players should gather resources whenever they can, as crafters in the game are usually more than willing to help other players.
Other Features
Another thing worth mentioning about Angels Online is that the game has a creative way to distribute the game's population across its map. Nearly all of the hunting areas have three identical versions of that map that players have to select upon 'zoning' into the area. This prevents any single one of the maps being overcrowded. Angels Online has all the traditional MMORPG staples like guilds, questing, and pets as well. Like Magic World Online and Godswar Online, Angels Online has a built in game bot called "Angel Baby" which can be used to automatically level up your character while away from the computer. This makes experience gain in the game incredibly fast. The built in bot is quite complex, and can be set to use potions, skills, and even re-purchase healing items.
One small complaint I have with Angels Online is that the game had a pretty lousy interface. I'm usually pretty critical of a game's interface, as a poor interface can really hurt even a great game. The interface in Angels Online just feels like it's from 1999. All of the information is there, it just isn't presented well.
Final Verdict – Good
Angels Online is an overall satisfying game. It has a large variety of playable classes and a large player population. Give it a try!

Customer Reviews for Solids Semi-Opaque Window Blinds
"Great replacement for my old panels"
By remodeling from NC
When I moved into my home there was an old panel track system in place over the sliding glass doors in my family. I have never liked them, but I like the panel track system. I was so glad to find your site when looking for replacement panels. I am so glad I decided to replace the whole system. The valance and the bottom detail make these very elegant. They look great.View this product
"Simply Stunning"
By Pepper from Wildwood, MO
This is our first purchase with Blindsgalore. I was a little hesitant purchasing a custom product that had no reviews. However, I took the plunge and I'm so glad I did. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them! The look is clean, sleek, modern and ultra expensive. This product is definitely worth the price. My husband installed them and it took longer than expected, much longer. However, within 2 1/2 hours, I had a beautiful window covering for my sliding glass door.View this product
