i uploaded many archeage videos on youtube. this is one of my videos.

Woaw..  It really looks nice. Even for a cbt game.. Hope I can have enough time to play it deeply

nice

It is a beautiful game.

The gameplay looks WoW-like. Does it play similar to WoW?

Unfortunately this game won't be released in EU/NA for atleast another 12 month. Best bet so far is Q4 2013, but it's more likely to be Q1 2014.

 Combat is not the selling point of the game. However, I do agree that it seems to be one of the weakest aspects of the game.

Wow.  Looks like they took old school MMORPG, gave it a serious facelift and improved the mechanics.  Interested to try this one out.  Though the tab targeted combat is a bit dated its still a fun battle option if implemented with the right features.  I kind of like a 'casual' like RPG where I can take my time and think about my fighting strategy.

Though guild wars 2 and its action like fighting will hold me off until this reaches US shores.

It all comes down to the personal taste. Combat is WoW-like, and not TERA-like, and I find that to my taste.

Combat in AA may seem dull while doing quests, PvE bosses and the like, but in PvP... it becomes fast and furious, with so many skills to choose from and even using gliders to get away from enemies... It's wonderful, there's no way I would change it.

I had very high hope for AA, but the more i see the more it looks outdated.
Not the graphics, but the game mechanics and animations.
It now looks like a mix from Aion meets WoW with Eve politics.

Will have to wait and see how this mmo pans out, but if it will contain a subsciption then it also might flop like many many mmo's these days.

REALY hope they can pull it off and make AA stand out, but so far iam not convinced it will and i was realy hopefull it would after seeing some scenery and stuff :(

It looks pretty decent, world looks fun, big and immersive but I would fall asleep with the slow gameplay, combat, movement etc.

I guess that's the problem with sandbox MMO's. It seems like you can't have a innovative combat system without sacrificing some stuff =/ I'm excited for ArcheAge but again, sandbox's MMO's have such niche communities I personally think it'll be difficult for this game to catch on in NA but here's hoping :S

This game is far from a sandbox...wish it was, but not even.
