Is it good?

it has a item mall.. i wont play it

wel the picture alone is enough for me to go no thank you

umm while it looks interesting... i dont like the thought of using my myspace or facebook account... last thing i would want is them to use that info to spam my contacts O_o

 I'm gonna try it out.

Must be a pretty expensive project. They're using Gamebryo, SpeedTree and Path Engine. o_O

Meh. I looked at the picture and decided no.

Not that I have anything against fantasy themed MMORPG, but this looks identical to any one of a dozen free-to-play Fantasy MMO's already on the game list...... bleh.

oh so its f2p sandbox?

whats so good about the engine?

Idk what you'd call it. It's classless with no cap on the amount of skills you can max. I know that much. 

Haven't played much yet.

Game blows played 2+ hours you can tell its a cash shop dependent game right when u start off......u go into the item mall and get the armor/weps/potions and the armors and weps give out stats plus 100% hp potions.

I say SKIP this game

I wana at least try a 3d Sandbox game, since my MO download never works

It's a free to play game....how do you expect them to pay for server upkeep and maintenance, and their creative staff, or anything else it takes to make and run a game, for that matter?

Not that I'm planning on playing it, as I'm not a fan of anime or that style of design, but still..... 

If you care about your friends on facebook do not use your facebook account to play even if its tempting.

 just say ,lol, and leave this, and thanks a lot

Good point ! They have to pay for expenses somehow and if there is no monthly play charge, no charge for the game then guess what Item Mall.  Now some of the f2p you can still enjoy the game without spending money on the item mall but purchasing things is a big help within the game play.

I went to the site and took a look at the wallpapers and screen shots. Looks like a cartoon game. I know some f2p that the graphics for the world and its surroundings are really better than some of the p2p's but the characters are not.

This one just doesn't look like one I want to try anyway and like was mentioned don't use your personal face book if you are intent on trying the game create a dummy account to use for this. I do this with my email as well don't give out my email that my friends and family stay in contact with out.

For an oriental import, its a decent skill based game where you can multi-class and multi-craft, but it looks like they used BabbleFish for the translations and didn't bother to fix the gammer or use the normal terminology. Hopefully, they will fix this prior to release. RoM had similar problems in beta, with some parts not even translated.

I find it hilarious, honestly. For all the money they spent licensing Gamebryo, they couldn't just get a translator? >.>

lol, youre right

What makes you think they paid for any of that? Most low level Asian game companies nowadays just rip shit off.
