Everyone knows this is still in beta but no NDA, so I thought Ii would try and write a review on some of it.  I am currently lvl 23. I have been playing it for two weeks casually.

The Good:

1.  The game is actually fun once you get through the bad and ugly. It is still in Beta and the developers are working on alot of the bugs. They are updating the graphics engine before they release the game.  I will update this post once I see the new graphics.

2.  You can log in and make progress solo for about an hour or two.

3. The armor you create is cool and actually pretty simple to make once you understand how to do it.

4. The drops are better then most online games I have played to date. 

5. Your character has attribute points you use at the start of the game and as you level you get points to increase your skills with weapons and armors that you train in real time. There are melee classes and long range classes and one class has a heal.  I play a long range class and it is a blast.  The NPC range from robots to living animals and plants.  They have several instances with bosses.  Money is very easy to come by and items you can use drop on a regular basis.

6. Free and open PVP on the pvp server if the player is a different faction.  Fun fun fun!

7. The best way to get XP is through your quest system. Alot of folks state it is a big grind, and it is not, if you follow the questlines you get alot of XP.

8. Wow a WASD UI from the far east instead of point and click. Easy to use.

The Bad:

1. The mobs are the same from zone to zone for the most part.  They will be a higher level but they are the same.  When you hit a new town that zone will have some different monsters but basically you are killing the same monsters  at a different level.

2. The game is basically about pots.  You have shield pots, armor pots and healing pots.  You get low click a pot.  They do have a cooldown which is a plus. There is no dedicated healing class even though neo humans do have one heal.

3. Either you travel though zones or you use a porter at a town and it is expensive.

The Ugly:

1. The english translation is terrible and confusing.  Figuring out the simpliest of things takes too much time as the grammar and spelling is beyond belief.  You have to ask players how they did it.  Even going from one world to another once you hit the correct level is a pain.  (You have to hit the correct level to hit other planets with new zones from the login screen).  Once you figure it all out this is a great feature though. You can go to any server and can even go pvp on their server and vice versa.

2.  The chat box is terrible.  The background is transparent and needs to have a dark background so you can read it. Word wrapping needs to be fixed big time.  This is a major problem if you do not use voice chat as the typing will get cut off and you have to enter long messages several times as it is currently limited to Two lines of text.

 Having said all of that it looks like it might be free to play with an online store for special items.  I will not state for sure.  Would I play it right now and pay a monthly fee? Not in its current form. The game needs alot of polish still.  Once you get through the ugly it is a blast  and a refreshing game to play if you are tired of the same old fantasy setting.
