TCoS is the FPSer MMO.   You'll die in the newbie area if you try to go stand still and trade damage moves like most MMO's.

No you won't against early mobs. Versus players is another matter.

To be honest, outside of gaming sites not many people have even heard of TCOS anyway, so it was never going to matter when it releases, just whether or not it is good. If it is a good game word of mouth will make it successful, if it isn't I really doubt anyone will notice it fade away.

That's mildly incorrect. In Europe they are heavily advertised on tv as well as websites. I actually had more luck finding new good information going to European sites than American ones.

In america nobody has ever heard of this game.

In all honestly it's not going H2H with WoW, it's going out and slipping under the radar.

The latter is no doubt true, but heavily advertised on tv as well as websites? Where? When?

I don't think Chronicles of Spellborn has anything to worry about.  Its release 2 weeks later means those hardcore crowd will already be through the new content.  Chronicles also offers a new gameplay style similiar to that of Fable.  So it could potentially get enough players to be sustainable.

Honestly, there is no reason not to try it. Since it will have a Free to Play area to test it.

Won't have to put in credit card info or anything, just download and play likes its free.

 

This is one of the things that I feel will benefit them to a HUGE extent.

I really don't see why more MMO companies do this. I can't tell you how many games I have passed simply because they didn't offer a free trial. It's very smart of them to offer something like this at their launch.

Because I'm skeptical (but hopeful) of this game this is the course of action I'll be taking with this game and pray that it's fun to play. The deck system they're proposing interests me greatly, and it can be a hit or miss for them (and a hit or miss for the customer too, as if they can prefer that or the current standard even if it is a hit). I don't know why but this game reminds me greatly of Guild Wars. 

ye indeed.. if you think your game is good.. and people will like it.. let players try it.. considering there are bunch  ( like me.. ) who plays from start or doesnt play game at all.. allowing trial after 3 months is just pointless.. only reason why i bought warhammer ( after aoc bullshit ) was that.. they actually  saw that theis preorders suxs? and massed out open beta invitations ..  it wasnt that open as it should been..

was same with wow..  it had so many betas.. and everything that everyone could try it.. well apart it beying good game.. and hitting over 3 mln on release..  ( china release wasnt even close to usa/eu release  )
