As you kill monsters and such you'll get a bunch of materials you can use for crafting. I have to say that the amount of things you can craft in Wonderland Online is simply astounding. You create things inside of your magic tent, which can expand to the size of a mansion if you work on it enough. There is no “skill” for manufacturing, you just have to posses the right amount of materials as well as the proper tools to make it. It is quite fun if you like little hobbies like this, because I know people who can spend hours just doing that kind of stuff. I certainly had fun with it. You can make all kinds of stuff from weapons and armor to cars and spaceships to carpets and windows for your tent. I would have to say that this is definitely Wonderland Gold killer feature for the game and people must try this part out before they give up. There's also stuff like fishing, mining, wood chopping and collecting, which is used to gather stuff to craft with, although those do depend on skill levels to how fast you can collect them.

Quests and Storyline There are some obvious quests that you have to do, such as talking to people, killing X monster 5 times, gathering X flower on the ground... and then there is the storyline for each individual NPC ally. It firsts becomes apparent that there is an actual storyline when you run into a local NPC being attacked by enemies. You kill the bad guys and she joins your party. From there on, a cut-scene will happen when you progress to an area she is linked with. Sometimes, when you have witnessed a key cut-scene, you will get a constellation. I really like this part, it's pretty neat, and I have to say that while I wasn't so much in to the whole combat, I was really tied to the storyline of the NPCs. While this is cool and all, your character, the one you made, has virtually no effect on the storyline other than helping out the NPC allies. It's kind of like reading a book, which some people enjoy, although, some people prefer to being part of the story. Either way, in the current day and age where MMORPGs hardly even try to have storylines, Wonderland Gold does a great job at it.

Graphics While some people are completely fine with the 2D cutesy graphics, other people who just can't accept 2D will obviously not even try the game. I preferably loved them. It reminded me very much of Golden Sun. The animations are pretty smooth, graphical effects are nice and crisp. There's nothing particularly wrong with them for a 2D game; it's just that some people actually need 3D to enjoy a game. Of course, this comes down to the big “graphics or gameplay?” question, and if you are a fan of gameplay, definitely try out Wonderland Gold. If you're a big graphics junkie, I would probably stay away from Wonderland Gold, as you'll probably be too put off by the 2D design to enjoy the actual game.

Pros

An actual storyline
Extensive and detailed crafting system
Housing and other various things to do other than grind
Unique combat system to MMORPGs

Cons

Not 3D graphics (if you don't like 2D)
Combat is monotonous
Not much character customization
Can take a while to get somewhere in crafting

Personal recommendation If you like gameplay, and you like things in an MMORPG other than combat, Wonderland Gold can definitely keep you sucked in for a while. There's a lot to do and it's very easy to do. It's a game to have fun without any competition. Make some friends, hang out together fishing or invite them into your tent for a quick dip in your hot tub!
