The game looks pretty. However, most new games do.
I'm not going to bother looking deep into this until they blatantly tell us the following: #1. Will PvP be nothing more than another version of "Battlegrounds" or Instanced PvP? #2. How big are the worlds? Are they Vanguard-like, where one can actually explore, or will they be SWTOR-like, where the "illusion" of a large world is nothing more than a painted backdrop with constant "exhaustion zones" and invisibile walls. |

I have read all of Tad Williams books starting with The Dragonbone Chair of the series Memory,Sorrow and Thorn.What better setting than the land of Osten Ard and an abundace of great races and fantastic lore in a world with minor magic to turn into an epic MMO. IMO they beat the Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin and James Oliver Rigney, Jr. aka Robert Jordon's Wheel Of Time series all day long. |

Sure looks interesting, but coming from a company famous for its "Asian Grinders"... I'm not sure. Will have to wait and see what this turns out to be... a gem of a game, or polished turd! |

Maybe the sandbox developers should seek out the asian companies to get them published. "I am not in a server with Gankers...THEY ARE IN A SERVER WITH ME!!!" |

The only setting that lends itself to an MMO more naturally then Otherland is probably .hack. And i loved the Otherland books. The Osten Ard ones, too, but Otherland was something different for it's unique mix. I only fear for it being unplayable on most computers. Unreal Engine 3 is not exactly high-perfomance, and with all that glitter and reflections and thousands of light sources that can take literally any form, so the shadows will be complex, too..well, maybe Epic managed to do something about it since i last played a Unreal Engine 3 game. But with Unreal Engine 4 on the horizon, i doubt they will do major changes. And Real U (dtp) is not exactly well known, so no idea if they have people that can work wonders. Also, Q3? Like others i doubt that. If they are really gonna make it, and it's not total crap, their biggest success would not be the game, even if it would make more money then WoW, it would be being able to develop 5-10 years without any leak. Some intelligence services would surely interested in being able to keep a secret like that secret. I'll wait to the day's end when the moon is high |

Sounds intriguing. I'm down for giving it a shot once it is released. |

Game looks good. But it's made by Gamigo, so will most likely be dissapoiting and not interesting at all. |

Any word on cyber hookers yet? Seriously, it does look like it has potential. Going to keep it on the radar. |

Tad Williams is closely involved in this endeavor. Real U did a huge media event in 2008 when they first started development. I was there for PC.IGN and MMORPG.com was there, as was Ten Ton Hammer and a slew of other publications. Danged if I can find the article here on MMORPG.com though! http://www.tadwilliams.com/forum/ Tad runs his own website and posts on his forums - and is still super excited about the MMO.

they claim they have a console action game background, and thats the type of combat they are going for, rather than the normal MMO combat. we shall see. The End |

Looks interesting. Gamigo involvement makes things more questionable for me. I've still yet to play a F2P title that launched as such and really gave me much enjoyment or longevity. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to the idea though. Here's hoping one's coming. Twitter: @Nephaerius |

Looks amazing... but it looks like it might also be heavily instanced. We shall see... it has potential.. which as we all know is meaningless! Remember Old School Ultima Online |

I've read the Otherland novels several years ago and really enjoyed them. It's a good setting for an MMORPG. They can basically create there anything and have it still fit into the setting. I've been curious about the game since I heard about it a year or so ago.
Will it be great? I'm not sure. The setting is good, but the fighting looks a bit generic. The "create anything" sounds good again. All in all though, all developers exaggerate about their games in development to the extreme. So we just have to wait. Let's play Fallen Earth (blind, 265 episodes) Let's play Guild Wars 2 (blind, 45 episodes) |

Damn that is some fusion cooking out there, add sharks riding ponies and shooting lazers out of their mouth... I hate the design mashup, pirates vs ninjas? I'll stick to League of Legends if i want that! I want an immersive world either fantasy/realistic/sci-fi but with setting that would rule my mind! This cocktail of styles is absolutely anti-immersive :/
