So what do you guys think of this new upcoming MMORPG? It's gonna hit the stores in about a week or so, and I was wondering if it's worth checking out. I'm hoping there's a 30 day free trial of some sort.

Post your thoughts/discussion.

Game looks to be pretty good. It's different than most MMO's out there. No one click auto-attacks, you have to actually put effort in. Graphics are very good and the story line, now that...is amazing.

If you like MMO games, this one has PvP as well as RPG elements. This game has alot of potential, but will have to wait and see if it's stands up for the long term

I wasn't planning on it initially, but the stuff I've read and the trailers have been impressive. I like the fact that you can do finishing moves and decapitate foes. Kinda cool.


I'm the best

The game sucks. Sure, it isn't the same as any single MMO out there. It is ALL MMOs out there lumped into one. Plus they added some porn and gore. It is nothing new. And this "realistic graphics" crap does not compete creative design. Sure, Blizzard graphics are cartoony, but their ideas are unique and creative. Throwing a bunch of specular deiffusion, reflction, and blume on crap should not excuse game designers from creating unique design. Relistic, detailed graphics does nothing but require people to have the top of the line hardware for nothing more then graphics that make everything look like rubber.

I was a little disappointed there wasn't any of the races in the traditional RPG lore. No dwarves? No elves? No orcs? Apparently it's a "low fantasy" MMORPG.

Give me more realistic graphics over WOW's cartoons any day. Hell, instead of calling their avatars "characters" they're "toons".

Be that as it may . . . . . what's impressive is the US $15.00+ monthly fee. Nope, I'll stick with freebies like NWN1/2.
