Plot[edit]
Dragon Saga takes place on the continents of El Grego and Angrakka (Elyades and Melanthos in Europe), which had experienced a golden age where humans and dragons were able to live together in peace. These times were not destined to last, and the dragons and humans eventually went to war in what was known as the Dragon Age. Eventually, the dragons were banished to the ancient realm of Aether. The leader of the dragons, Dark Dragon Elga, would continue to mount attacks, but was pushed back when five heroes of legend defeated and trapped him in a prison known as the Shadow Cabinet.
Not even the Shadow Cabinet could hold Elga forever — a thousand years after being trapped, Elga found a method to release his darkness into the world, sending minions to attack the lands in preparation for his arrival. It is up the players to take up arms and push back these dark forces.[9][10]
Gameplay[edit]
Players control a character in a three-dimensional plane but the scope of movement is mainly focused on the horizontal axis with limited vertical movement, much like the arcade style side-scrolling classics. In its current state, players can progress through 75 levels in the North American release with the level cap reaching as high as 80 on servers in Asia.
Combat is action-based with moves performed in real-time. All combat is centered around the use of special skill sets on cooldowns. Players can also perform ground and aerial combos by utilizing certain skills in order to render enemies unable to retaliate but can also play the role of a healer or supporter when necessary.
There is also a large number of missions and scenarios for a player to complete co-operatively with others. Each individual dungeon has one to four separate modes for advancement, each increasing in difficulty and not being accessible until the previous instance has been cleared. At the end of every mission sequence is a scenario that advances your character to the next stage of the game.
Classes[edit]
At the beginning of the game, players are allowed to choose from one of six basic classes and accumulate levels in order to advance into deeper specialties with more abilities and skills. The six starting classes are warrior, thief, archer, magician, summoner, and twin fighter. Each class has a diverse skill tree in which players may place points into to acquire new skills or enhance ones that have already been obtained. As of 15 February 2011, there are currently a total of four class advancements in the game bringing the total number of playable classes to 28.
Tasks[edit]
Dragon Saga features instances that allow players to gain access to items, experience, and currency as well as serve to advance the overall storyline in the game. These instances are known as 'missions' and must be completed sequentially in order to unlock the final scenario that advances the plot. Each step in the mission becomes significantly more difficult than the previous and oftentimes requires a group to complete.
Missions are often composed of four main mission modes (increasing in difficulty) and a fifth scenario (unlocked when the previous modes have been completed). Each step in the mission also features a grading system that attempts to rank players based on how a player has performed during that step. The grading system allows the player to obtain higher quality and quantity loot based on that individual's performance and group contribution.
Players will often be sent into these missions to complete important quests, such as those needed to change class. Although many of these missions can be done by oneself, the benefits of tackling these missions with others far outweigh that of taking them on alone. Players in groups gain bonus experience and, with the right group composition, will find it much easier to progress through the game.
Expansions[edit]
Tales of the Damned (1)[edit]
Tales of the Damned was published on 16 October 2009 in Europe and November 2010 in North America. Tales of the Damned added a variety of new content and features to the game. This included the addition of a new storyline, controller support and the introduction of pets. The expansion elaborated into the story of the first chapter and as a result two new areas in Dragotaka were also introduced accessible to those who are level 60 or above only; the Van Cliff Dungeon and Drakos' Tower, which served as a fortified tower used to imprison the evil Dragon Lord Elga, until the witch Paris broke in and freed him to cause mayhem across the land. In addition to these new maps, Tales of the Damned also raised the level cap from 60 to 65.[11]
Paris Strikes Back (2)[edit]
Paris Strikes Back was the second expansion to Dragon Saga and was released only in Europe on 23 June 2010.[12] This expansion included the next chapter of the storyline, increased the level cap from 60 to 70 and has other general enhancements such as new weapon and armour sets. Some maps were also given a nice tune-up including the Van Cliff Dungeon and Drakos' Tower, both of which were given the choice of three levels of difficulty. Also, eight new classes were added to the game: Dragoon, Berserker, Sentinel, Bombardier, Joker, Shadow Walker, Cleric and Chaosmage. All the new classes were named by the Dragon Saga forum community but are only accessible after the player hits level 60 and a chain quest is completed.[13]
Dragon Saga Kryos Unleashed (Dragon Saga Awakening of the Ice Dragon) (3)[edit]
Awakening of the Ice Dragon (known as Kryos Unleashed in North America)[14] was the third expansion to Dragon Saga. It was released on 15 February 2011 in Europe and North America. The expansion includes the brand new ice continent of Pagosia in which the third chapter of the story is set. As the name suggests, large portions of Pagosia are entombed in ice, with its frosty appearance enhanced by the spooky spectral creatures that live in its fresh landscape. Seasoned heroes, from level 62 upwards, will find a large quantity of new maps in Pagosia, filled with new sets of both hero and daily quests, providing more than enough challenges for players. The expansion also increased the level cap again, this time to level 75. All the classes introduced in Paris Strikes Back were also made available in the North American version of this expansion.[15]
Dragon Saga Elga Unleashed (Dragon Saga New Origin) (4-1)[edit]
Elga Unleashed (also known as New Origin) is the fourth expansion for Dragon Saga.[16] It was released on 8 June 2011 in the Japanese server, 10 August 2011 on the SEA server and 12 September 2011 on the European Servers. The expansion includes a new playable race that has 2 new classes. These 2 classes are the summoner and the twin fighter. The fourth chapter to the story is added and as a result the world map has had a complete overhaul due to the influence of chaos in the world of Dragotaka. The level cap has been raised to 80. The second phase of the Elga Unleashed expansion known as Elemental Guardians introduces new content including two new dungeons.
Dragon Saga Worlds Collide (4-2)[edit]
Worlds Collide was a major event for Dragon Saga. It involved an in game crossover event between Dragon Saga and Ragnarok Online which was exclusive to the WarpPortal North America release. This mini-expansion opens a new series of quests and dungeons with a unique top down camera angle. Costumes, pets, mounts and weapons from Ragnarok Online are available through the quests and merchants near the dungeon entrances.
Dragon Saga Galaxia (5)[edit]
Galaxia is the fifth official expansion for Dragon Saga. It was released in 2013 on the North American worldwide servers.

This includes new class abilities, quest lines, 10 new zodiac themed dungeons with 4 difficulty levels, an increased level cap (lvl 85) for players.
Dragon Saga Arcadia, Episode 1 (6-1)[edit]
Arcadia, Episode 1 is the sixthofficial expansion for Dragon Saga. It was released in 2016 on the North American worldwide servers. This expansion explores new lands and cities of Arcadia; a land of elemental power.

This expansion includes new class abilities, quest lines, pets and mounts, costumes and weapons, new socketing systems, and new elemental stat progressions.
Dragon Saga Arcadia, Episode 2 (6-2)[edit]

Dragon Saga Arcadia, Episode 3 (6-3)[edit]

This expansion completes the main story line started in the vanilla game, with new maps, class balances, events, monsters, dungeons and equipment. Content updates continue on a weekly basis. The final boss, Destiny Dragon proved to be much too challenging in initial releases and has been reworked in subsequent updates. Along with the expansion came a graphical overhaul of the PVP maps and the Arcadia City region. With Arcadia 3 came a change in the overall tone of the logo, login screen and patcher, reflecting the dark and corrupted nature of the Destiny Dragon.
