Hype Meter is a FreeMMOStation show where we give you an overview of the most anticipated free MMO games. This time we take a look at Lost Ark, the ultimate hack and slash MMORPG coming from Korean studio Smilegate, makers of the successful online FPS CrossFire.\r
\r
When the first Lost Ark trailer was unveiled mid-November, we knew this was going to be special. The developer, Smilegate, is a fairly humble Korean studio that just happens to be making a shit-ton of money with its free-to-play FPS CrossFire, one of the first in this craze of competitive online shooters and clearly one that is still going strong, having originally launched in 2007. This success is what gave Smilegate the money and confidence, along with Tripod Studio to create their next big game, one that takes the best of the Diablo franchise and adds a much welcome MMORPG aspect.\r

We would be selling it short if we didnt say just how amazed we were by the features trailer. Lost Ark seems to have it all: impressive graphics, cinematic presentation, plenty of classes to choose from, mini-games, a combat system that leaves other hack and slash games eons behind, amazing bosses and… well, lets just say that NCsofts Lineage Eternal: Twilight Resistance looks so good, but Lost Ark is shaping up to be even better. We cant give it a bigger compliment than this.\r
