ZerA
ZerA is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game from Korea being developed by Nexon. Currently the game's Korean Beta has ended but a Japanese Beta has surfaced. Player enage in your normal MMO quest/grind tactics to level up but with a twist. ZerA features a type of interesting attack system. You can situate your character to hit more than one target at a time, which, in this game is very beneficial.
The Experience in ZerA is gained per hit, and with that comes some great benefits. You can some what see the advange to this say if you saw a large group of monsters and you used an Area of Effect(AOE) spell.
The game also features a similar PvP system to games like Lineage 2 and Eudemons where you can openly attack someone in the field, but with a penalty for killing them. The game has an amazing skill system that is quite unique. The skills are dropped, similar to items.
The skill system is beyond impressive. There is this circular patter, which I believe is called an Ego Panel. You open this panel up and it has various intersectiong and bonuses on those intersections. What it is, is a skill combo system. Using skills in the order you designed on this Ego Panel you can gain bonuses to your skills damage, knockdown time, what have you. Quite possibly the best skills system I ahve Ever seen. There is a limited number of skill slots in these Ego Panels, but rest assured you don't need every skill in the game!

ZerA YouTube Videos
Zera - Gstar Video
On the left here is the video presentation that was shown at GStar. GStar is a korean gaming event similar to what E3 used to be. The graphics in the video are mostly in game, but the animations here are entirely scripted.
Zera - Fan Made Video
This video here is a great show of the basics in ZerA. It definitely is a good look into how the game is played on a low level end. Quite long showing that the action never stops in the game! I'd say it's one of the best ZerA videos out there.
Zera - Dragon Fight
Now this video is amazing. It shows how at higher levels you are capable of taking down even fierce beasts such as this dragon. It shows the use of chain skills and combinations very well. To notice the combo, when a little icon pops up next to his skill bar, it shows he's activated a combo and only needs to use that skill to complete it.
