MY OPINION
Argo Online is a sci-fi MMORPG that offers us a futuristic world, where two factions are fighting for resource called Earthdium. A huge world to explore (80 territories), over 3500 quests, 20 large instances. From exploration you receive points (adventure points) that can be changed to diferent equipments. There is possible to grind mobs in afk time, a typical Asian games system (Automatic hunting). Pressing the key "Z" can activate some special skills: increase defense or attack, mount ecu, dash, double jump or wings on your back. However this consume "ore". Level of  "ore" can be increased by training (max 1000). Boss and Elites run freely on the map waiting to be attacked. Note that there are very strong!
Skills Tree: http://wiki.usergames.com/doku.php?id=argo:skill_tree

There are drops of items/buff that turns you in one new class, for a while. Both weapons and additional skills change, thus changing your style of play.

The Core Mall (cash shop) seems not significantly unbalance the game, there were only offered: xp boosts, cosmetic items, pets and mounts.

Argo Online is an unfinished game that offers a huge world to explore, quests classic with a strong inclination to grind, nothing new in terms of innovations, another clone mmorpg worth to be played only if you get bored.
