In my opinion there is no open beta. They have already launched but call it an open beta for reasons only Acclaim knows. Maybe they want their CC payment system ready before they officially launch the game. That would make sense.

Level 7 cap? ROFL. Maybe they should call it farcemium instead of a freemium game. What do you know about a game in 7 levels? I guess accalims thinks you have seen enough. Maybe because there is not much else to see? LOL. That's just nuts.

Maybe you should try in judging it right away?

Sigh..

You can always go back to Darkfall.

What do you know about an MMO in 14-days? Putz.

Also Synthetick, it's considered polite to ask before you go hotlinking to screenshots. And I don't say that in some removed esoteric sense, I say that as the guy who took those screenshots and is hosting them on the server I paid for. So far I'm doing okay but if those screenies get posted on a few more MMO sites I'll take all of them down, don't want to drain my bandwidth. Each image is over a meg after all.

LOL. Children, learn to read, use basic logic, and post appropriately. Nothing either of you said made a bit of sense and both stink of knee jerk stupidity.

And maybe you should stick your tinkler in a blender and spare us your spawn. Barring that, you could actually go out and read about the game, Spellborn never was nor will be a F2P game. That lvl 7 cap is in place to give you a taste and should you like it subscribe. Exactly how every other P2P MMO does things.

If you think that's a scam you should see what the government takes from your paycheck every other week.

The game itself is gorgeous.. BUT there are reasons I'm not going to continue playing (for now)

Cons:

1. I'm already level 4. Knowing that there's a level 7 cap. I would only play 2 1/2 levels or so and then that's it.
   
2. It's basically a waste of time because they made a few quests that would make you reach the cap before you even get to do more.
   
3. They made it that way for you to pay. $15 a month? Forget it.
   
4. 2 races?!? That's it? How is that exciting? They could've done more if they want our money. You look like everyone else! Woot. Oh, they cannot think that graphics is good enough to earn $15 a month.
   
5. The UI is definitely NOT user-friendly (to most). The combat system, the maps, the quests not explained well enough (I understood it, but many people complained about it)
   
6. They shouldn't be calling this Open Beta and have it so misleading for the peers.

Every other MMO caps you at level 7? You've played a grand total of, let me guess, one MMO in your entire existence?

You can continue at lvl 7 and play the game it doesn't boot you or anything when you hit cap. Spellborn isn't all that lvl dependant anyways. It's perfectly possible for a lvl 7 to bring down a camp of lvl 15.

But you would know this if you actually bothered to play the game.

Who the hell cares if "you can continue at level 7"? You are freakin capped with no character/quest progress in a game where items are largely irrelevant. What's the point? Good you killed a mob, the same mob you killed 3479235693265392 times already. They not only level cap you, they quest cap you and zone cap you. And frankly, if think that's a good model to get anyone interested in a p2p game, they also apparently capped your IQ and common sense at level 7, too.

In your hurry to get into the game you must have missed that information. This game is not free-to-play, never was, and never will be.

You can only play the trial version of the game (which is the same as the normal version, but with a level cap at 7) without paying. This is even true for the Acclaim's open beta, meaning that without paying your characters will be level capped at 7 and you will only be able to visit the starter zone and one other zone. So actually, the Acclaim open beta is the same as the trial version.

SO what you're saying is we HAVE to play to test the game for them? Its OPEN BETA, which means the game is not ready, and they want us to test it for them, but they are still asking for us to pay!?

But hey, its your money, do what you want with it...

LOL They think that we are so stupid to make such mistakes - to play Open Beta, pay them, and report them about bugs.... Forget it! If that so, each developer must pay us for playing their Open Beta =)))

I found a russian link for  SpellBorn but it's closed right now... i hope it will be free2play)

yet another reason why Acclaim is a horrible,incompetent company.

beta for a game released last year? check.

still no subscription system in place after huge delays? check.

open beta advertised but with unnanounced release subsriptions in place? check.

acclaim coin$? check.

retarded ftp acclaim playerbase ftp freeloaders littering the server? check.

barrens chat? check.

Do yourself a favour,if you want to play avoid the Acclaim toilet and go Frogster instead.CC options,better performance,no 2moons l33t kiddies,no coin$,no pay to play beta.Unfortunately,american players will be paying about $17 after the exchange rate,but its your best bet.

The F2P player cap is lvl 7...

The P2P player cap is lvl 50...

I think some of you are confusing the two.

Shhhhhh...don't bring logic and facts into this. The mouth-breathing F2P kiddie crowd may throw a hissy fit. They're just pissed they don't get a free ride to 50.

 Many games have trials that you cant leave "trial island"etc,the difference with TCoS is you can play as long as you like with all the different classes to lvl 7 without the added "14 day trial".

there are people that dont play everyday so this would be attractive to them as they can take there time to get used to the skill deck etc without being on a time limit.

Yes maybe some people would prefer the 14 day trial and get upto say lvl 12 or whatever on the island type places and get to see more of the game,this is simply a different way to try the game with a more relaxed feel to it.

The end result is the same,if you like it  you buy it and go forward if not then you simply leave it....dont really see the problem with the way TCoS is doing the trial.

Hmm all this confusion is very odd. F2p to level 7 and p2p to 50 is exactly the same method used on EU servers. Acclaim did not create this. You can pay monthly on EU servers and Acclaim is setting this  up too...they are simply using their existing payment structure to get the ball rolling.

The open beta is to test the servers and nothing more than a label saying you may experience some difficulties durring this process and paying to play is optional. Anyone who knew you could dl the client for free, make an account for free and yet not know you had to pay after level 7 has the greatest set of blinders on their head I have ever seen. How could you read the instructions on how to do all this yet mysteriously miss the other details?

The EU release is universally known as a complete debacle with all the IP blocking yet suddenly when it is gone everyone thinks Frogster is the saviour and Acclaim the demon. It is like hating SOE for the sake of hating yet the hater has not actually ever played a SOE game. Everyone on EU servers moaned of lack of players and content. Both sides will have 1.0.3 shortly anyway and it should put the game well within a solid release form (at least from the eyes of the NA players first seeing it).

Perhaps others have valid frustrations but I have not had one hiccup other than one client crash playing this so called beta. Once it is termed released I will see if it measures up to EU's version ( i have played the f2p there too long ago...empty of players. I think I saw one once). All I prefer is to have a monthly cc option over the coins...something in the works anyway.

The greatest help to this game will be a box release. Perhaps this will finally push the idea into the heads of f2p leachers that the game requires money from the users, instead of only a percentage of the players paying a vast amount more than the leachers for prettier clothes of something. I prefer to have the devs putting thier efforts into playable content and not item market bling.

"Hmm all this confusion is very odd. F2p to level 7 and p2p to 50 is exactly the same method used on EU servers. Acclaim did not create this. "

Good for the EU servers. WTF does it have to do with acclaim? Not a damn thing. Last I checked, EU was not in "open beta" and Acclaim was not frogster, but then again I actually have functioning brain ceels, your mileage may vary.

"The open beta is to test the servers and nothing more than a label saying you may experience some difficulties durring this process and paying to play is optional."

That is not the function of an open beta. Saying something is something it is not when money is involved is usually called two things: fraud or bait and switch, depending on thd details.

"Anyone who knew you could dl the client for free, make an account for free and yet not know you had to pay after level 7 has the greatest set of blinders on their head I have ever seen. How could you read the instructions on how to do all this yet mysteriously miss the other details?"

Who knows? I have no idea, and since I don't intend to play it at all now, I don't plan on finding out any time soon. I don't recall reading about it on their site, days ago, however. They called their game "freemium", with you being able to play freely but not access all areas of the game without paying. This is not what they actually delivered, however, because they capped level, too, far beyond the scope of what they said on the site would be limited.

"The EU release is universally known as a complete debacle with all the IP blocking yet suddenly when it is gone everyone thinks Frogster is the saviour and Acclaim the demon. "

Stop conflating the two. No one cares. Everyone here is talking about acclaim's ugly baby.

I stopped reading here,If you had done any reading about this title or indeed followed the game in any shape or form you would not have written this,I am sorry but you are making yourself look foolish here.

I would suggest reading up on the release and the game before posting.

I'm glad you stopped reading, because if that tiny bit of truth bothered you, you'd be poking out your little emo fanboy eyes by the end. I did what any gamer does if they are interested in a game: I went to the official website of the game in question, wherein there was not a sinlge mention of any kind of quest/skill/level cap. They only mentioned needing to pay the fee to access all areas of the game.
