Game play consists of your standard MMO options. There are a few twists that are quite interesting. First are the conjunctions that I mentioned earlier. Conjunctions are group based attacks that are high-yield. The Burglar class is the only class that can create a conjunction, although all other classes have the chance of spawning one, although randomly. When a conjunction is available, a multi-colored wheel will appear on your screen. Choosing the red wheel damages the selected monster; yellow does damage over time; blue restores power and green heals. The more players who choose a particular aspect of the wheel, the higher the resulting effect. Coordination is key here and gives that boss battle a nice moment of repose.
