Dragon's Prophet is a pretty standard MMORPG enriched with some action and tons dragons. Those aren't just mounts but friends, helpers, allies, enemies and ancient gods. Unfortunately, they live in a pretty boring world.
Do you remember the original hunter in World of Warcraft? Where you could look for and then tame wild beats? I miss that and that's why I like Dragon's Prophet with its Pokémon-like hunt for exotic creatures.

In my opinion best MMORPG 2013/2014. It is basically Runes of Magic with dragons and better Free2Play model - it is fair now, no Pay2Win and no need to pay anything! Dragons are great addition to the game, you have unlimited free mounts, you can train them, fly them, breed them and much more.
(played 3 years Runes of Magic, Dragons Prophet from beta)

Dragon's Prophet is a pretty standard MMO with all the features you come to expect with MMOs today. It has intuitive, responsive controls with a action feel to combat along with a mixed bag of graphics. The environment looks terrific, with great vistas and very long distance field of vision. However, the character models and armor appear to be low quality. Overall, while repetitive in quest grind, it is a fun game where you can tame just about any dragon you encounter and use it as pet or mount. I would normally give it an 8, however I gave it a 10 to offset the ridiculous zeros. This is a polished, high profile studio game, not some f2p,half finished game from some no name company. Zero is simply uncalled for.

Quotation forthcoming.
Yes there are tons of dragons and yes, you're gonna catch 'em all, but sadly this is not enough to recommend Dragon's Prophet. Under scales and tusks there is an ordinary MMORPG with boring quests and too much grinding in it, and the old graphics engine doesn't help to keep players engaged, but at least it's free to play.
Seducing with its dragon theme, free to play and quite well done as it even offers advanced housing, Dragon's Prophet is an MMORPG which does not look ridiculous. But we do have to admit that it lacks some punch to be able to compete against the genre's stars because of poor polish, an old graphics engine, dull quests and a small amount of races and classes. We note that those drawbacks could be improved by an update overtime which allows us hope. But is trying Dragon's Quest enough to get hooked? Not really but at least it's free to try.
I had such high hopes for Dragon’s Prophet. Everything about it sounds like so much fun on paper. But what we have is a clear case of a game that needs a lot more time in development before it should be taking money from anyone. This shouldn’t be an open beta, and you shouldn’t be able to spend money in Auretia. I understand that SOE and Runewaker need to pay the bills, but both parties would have been far better off letting the game take a little more time in closed beta to take in and react to feedback from its community. Dragon’s Prophet isn’t the worst game I’ve played this year, but it could have been so much better. And that’s what’s really unfortunate.
With dragon taming, action combat, and robust skill and housing systems, there's an enjoyable experience at the core of Dragon's Prophet that never manages to break free of the dull environment and grinding pace that surrounds it.
This Game is the work of what Gamers have been waiting for. Finally there is a Game where you can go Capture a Dragon and use it as a Mount to Explore or Fight Enemies with.
It's Still a Very New game and Obviously needs a few tweaks, but what new game doesn't? One of the main things I hope to see sooner than later would be the access to play from Australia. I'm in the US and have gamer friends from Australia; Once they expand to there I will be playing this game every day with my Friends.
The Combat is good and the amount of skills to use is Goldy-lox. I find that when a Game Implements tons of Spells it Takes away from the Game Experience. I've stopped playing games due to spending too much time messing with the loads of spells that my character has and doesn't really need. Dragon's Prophet has uses a handful of spells that Differ depending on the Class you choose. The best thing about the spells and combat would be the fact they have a combo system. Instead of having a plain spell it offers variety through the different combos you can use.
There is a large area of different locations in this World of Dragons. The Character Creation process is done very well since they have Implemented a Percentage Based Customization Process. You are offered the experience of going into immense detail when it comes to the different categories of the Character Creation Process.
To be Straight forward... This is a Great Game especially for being so New.
Whoever says this game isn't enjoyable or poorly made is either having a bad day or is a pessimistic downer who enjoys spreading negativity wherever they venture.
This Game is Well made and is Free To Play so forgive me if I don't see how someone wouldn't enjoy playing a Well made game where you can go out and capture a dragon and use it as a mount to go fly around.

I have to admit I spent a lot of time on this game (36 hours), before it started to get boring. The main awesome point is that you can ride dragons, aaand there it is, it's pretty much it.
The rest is pretty straight forward, it's RPG, with the "go there, kill everything, comeback" system.
There is a housing system, which is not that good and/or necessary. If you're not spending money on the game, you'll have a full inventory all the time, which is what made me stop playing.
Conclusion : It's free, have a go !

Pros:
+Can get a flying mount that also doubles as an attack pet (and resource gathering minion if you want it to )within first five- 10 mins of playing. This costs nothing. ALL MMOS SHOULD ADOPT THIS !!! If you have a pet thats big enough to ride , it should be able to attack for ya.
+Lots of dragons to tame and alot of them look really cool
+easy learning curve
+smooth and enjoyable combat (at least smooth on my machine)
+Getting hit doesn't knock you off your mount
+No cost for respec under lvl 15
+Nice main quest path with side quests all along the way
+Housing system which is not just for looks
+extensive crafting system
Cons:
- Extremely limited inventory , dragon lair, and bank space. This is a bit tough to handle in the beginning and getting to 20 doesnt give much relief (get a free row of inv which is 5 or 6 spaces at 10 and 20)This can be unlocked for "diamonds" which are the cash currency. its roughly 1500 diamonds for 5 bucks , and that's more then enough to get all the inventory you need but it just feels like you're paying to make that part of the game not ****, which doesn't feel good.
-mobs drop a lot of trash that fill up your inventory quickly (and at first its difficult to know which stuff is trash and which is worth keeping)
-Classes seem unbalanced ; As another review stated, mobs close the gap between you pretty quickly which make the archer and mage classes basically glass cannons that are always going to take hits. The oracle class (cloth wearing AoE melee class) is strange but IMO the most fun of the 4 classes. The last class which i forget the name of but is the main tank class and wears heavy armor can deal out decent damage which makes archer and mage even less viable .why play a glass cannon when you can play a titanium cannon?
-Crashes to desktop on average 1-2 times per play session (2-4 hours)
-crafting some items (with increased chance to produce rare results) costs diamonds
-chat functions are a bit clunky , you have to get a cursor by hitting esc or one of the other character screen hotkeys and then click in the typing area to get your cursor (typing /w or /t or any slash command doesn't work without placing cursor first)
Overall I would definitely recommend giving this game a try . Especially if you like the concept of taming different dragons that are mounts and attack pets.

I was so excited when this first came out. The thought of raising my own pet Dragon made me drop everything and download on the spot. Unfortunately, you will rarely see a traditional "dragon" you can catch (Read: Smaug). There are cow dragons, velociraptor dragons, bird dragons, gliding bat dragons and so on. Hundreds of dragons to choose from but mostly recolors of previous ones. Let's face it, when you say you want a pet dragon, you want a dragon-looking dragon, not cattle with scales. That and the never ending grind, unimaginative quests, so-so graphics and crazy spawn rate that almost always gets you drowned in agro mobs, this game is just a huge disappointment.

The only thing good about this game is that it includes dragons and action based combat style this is the only reason why this game is still alive.
The questing is your typical kill 10 monsters or go fetch plants/ect. The main story is so utterly bland and feels like normal questing yes it is go kill 10 monsters or fetch plants, the only thing that is different about main quest and normal quests is the npcs or NPC that gives it to you XD
Everything is RNG, your gear's stats, attribute transfer, dragon skill transfer, dragon skill slots and stats. Even if you buy it with daimonds to obtain those things it is still RNG. I know players that bought 50 whips and was only able to transfer 1 skill over to his dragon.
There are dragons that can only be purchased by real money and some of these dragons are faster flyers than any other drake you can get ingame.
Do not join this game if you think you are going to capture a drake and think you are the one of only a select few that will have this drake.
There is also a huge gap between free players and paying players when it comes to pvp, speaking of pvp it is utterly unbalanced with rangers being OP. Melee class is at a high disadvantage against bosses due to their attacks are aimed to KO close range players in a few shots.
Can't comment on housing but to own an apartment isn't bad. You do have free reign exactly you want to do on ur piece of land but plots arnt always availible and if you bought a "land marker" (as I would call them) of a certain size and there isnt any well tough luck, hope there comes more islands in the future so you can spend that "land marker"
Guild system is lacking and players never seem to stay so you are constantly looking for guild members if you are the hardcore type. This game is utterly buggy and your 1st thing your going to do is find out how to minimise your crashing (here's a few tips: delete your **** file and also turn you windows theme into basic, take note some dragon skill also cause crashing) some dungeons players even avoid due to crashes or dungeon reset or black screen.
In the 1st hour of play you will imediatly feel the need to purchase daimonds cause you need dragon space, you need bag space, you need bank space, you want that dragon pack. Well more so to get rid of the things that annoys you.
Like I said the only reason why players stay is cause this game has dragon you can capture and fight a long side u, but this game is really unpolished so do not expact a lot other than that.

Summary Dragon's Prophet features an action-based combat system that gives players more realistic battle action gameplay. Set in a realm where dragons roam the land, sea and air, the game lets players align and battle with a variety of dragons as they work to restore order to the land from the evil Black Dragon that has escaped his eternal priso...
