    i like this game, it's pretty cool.

    I fall into the liking the game category also.

    I think it's different enough to be fresh and interesting. The class variety is pretty good, and it doesn't look bad either.

    I watched the video, the gibberlings were hilariously awesome. So many possibilities with that - I wonder if various classes for them have skills where they all attack and whatnot.

    For a closed beta some of the critiques on here sound pretty harsh. I wonder - if this was from a known and established company if you'd be a little more forgiving. I'm probably not alone in this (but I think it would be appreciated) - if you're going to comment and review a MMO, to list what MMOs you've played, how long, and what you're currently playing. It makes it a lot easier to see where you're coming from. Maybe even a jaded/bitter disclaimer? Thanks in advance. ;)

    A good game is a good game, a bad game is a bad game, no?

    I should give this game another shot. I haven't wanted to touch it since getting my ranger through the starting area and hating the combat so. Maybe another class would make it tolerable.

    Depends entirely on the taste of the person making the judgment.

    I agree, but a closed beta isn't the same as a gold release.

    Well, if they aren't stating what their history is you wouldn't really know either way right?

    But you are someone who has put hours and hours into boring timesinks? :P

    I think, eventually all MMOs boil down to what you make of them. I'm having a blast in LOTRO, but that's mostly because I'm really into the story and I'm in a lovely guild. If someone who would be more interested in plain gameplay and who wouldn't have the luck of rolling into a good guild were to check out LOTRO he might just really dislike it. That doesn't even have anything to do with what other games they've played.

    Of course you can judge other aspects of the game and they can be very valid reasons to like or dislike a game. I mean, the complaints about slow combat are pretty much a dealbreaker for most MMO players. You don't want to stare at HP-bars too much after all.

    I have put hours into timesinks. Not hours and hours. And I try to avoid the timesinks, really. And I don't deny that they're bad. And I do it as a service to others. And. And.

    Fuck my life.

    To be fair the slow combat problem is there. I can understand that turning people away from the game. But It seems to be getting better as I level.

    It looks like the majority went to League side due to gibberling awesomeness. I'm really down for playing either side though as they both have Paladins.

    I think the guild got put off until open beta. Especially with us not knowing how many CBT's there will be before open and the impending character wipe.

    Gotcha.
    I don't really care which side we all roll, I just want to play with you fine chaps.
    Only like 20 more minutes of downloading, then prob. patching before I'm in game.

    I'm having fun. Playing a pally right now, and I guess just got to the main place. Level 6 or 7 and planning on playing this more later tonight. Character name is Found so just add me/bug me. I think this would be fun with more mans.

    League or Empire? Give me the side and I'll add you to the OP.

    Edit: as an aside I can' really decide if I'll end up playing a Paladin or a Summoner when we get to Open Beta.

    CBT #3 will be on Dec 29- Jan 11th.

    We should try to organize some play time when that starts.

    It seems you need a bit more time investment in the game than an hour before they give you a huge flying ship with which to destroy your enemies.

    I'll admit during the CB #2 I was amazed at how damn good everything looked. That starting area for the Empire was just amazing, definitely makes you go "Am I really playing what's going to be a free game?"

    Im a little surprised that a free to play game is prettier than really any other MMO apart from perhaps Aion. And thats not really better, its more just a style difference.

    The art style in this game is fantastic. It's a little clunky and could use some polish, but there's really a lot of awesome things going for it, first new 'free-to-play' MMO in a while that's caught my immediate attention

    Just got into the beta through FilePlanet and made an Orc. Definitely looks like an interesting game, and definitely pretty.

    So, what server is everyone on and what Faction? Please say Empire.
