Alright, i'm a closed beta tester and first let me say this is probably my favorite F2P game out there. They aren't lying when they say the Cash Shop items are unneeded, the best thing there is a healing potion, and you can heal yourself with most classes,. and heal your teammates. The stuff is quite literally useless, a lot is just appearal. Now, I will say this game is a lot of fun, while it is not one big world, that is NOT a bad thing, as you can stop short, and it relies more on action and random-generation this way. The classes are all very unique, with 6 classes, each with 2 sub classes (You pick one of the two, all of them are different) . Each class also has it's own customization, and appearance options, and the skill trees are pretty cool. I personally played a Devoteress in CBT, a Sentinal to be exact, the class relies on healing a lot, and does moderate damage. Due to her healing skills she makes a good party member. I've had a lot of fun with this one, and I really recommend it. |

Like many others I stopped reading after seeing microtransaction :(
I know if I could stick to spending just what I would on a monthly then it would be fine, but surely with this model those with money to burn can buy their way to greatness (or at least get a decent leg up) - sorry not for me but I wish them well. Currently Playing: DDO |

In microtransactional games I try to keep myself on a budget, around $15 is the regular route. If I see that I need to spend more then I need to look deeper into my investment and is it going to be worth it to me. In the long run the answer is usually no, with certain exceptions. I need to play this game more and may even drop a few dollars on it in the long term, but not now. However, if you like this type of co-action online game then I would recommend trying DEMIGOD, they seem to fixed the correction issues and it's a blast once you know the ropes; I'm currently in the "getting butt kicked thoroughly" mode and hoping the learning curve on strategy is not too steep. |

Now were seeing players booting everyone in their group to do mission solo to get more xp solo . sorry but i think i'll pass on this one , not acceptable ot launch a game in this state in 2009 and players should all be less understandable about these things in the futur. |

Having played it since launch here is my initial assessment. The Checking bug I believe has been taken care of. I was able to play on my Vista Machine if i run the program in Administrator mode. Good points: Easy to get into, set up and download. Even though you can play the game as it downloads, your waiting times will be reduced if you download the entire client before playing. It is free to play. Don't send them a dime. You don't like the game, you lost nothing but time. Graphics are decent and up until yesterday the performance was decent too. Some reason the 3.0 version got lots of lag You can play solo or group up. Interesting upgrade system ( spirits) Spirits are either your previous toons that have died or monsters you earned from scenarios. These are used to upgrade your gear and/ or provide a single shot mega power in the game. Disturbing to me: Not a real MMO in sense what we all expect. This game is multiplayer mode. The world is not a dynamic, ever changing environment. There is only scenarios which you play by yourself or join another game. Loot is virtually non existent. You acquire loot by random chance upon completion of your scenario. Loot comes in the form of gear, prestige points (explain later) and spirits. Death penalty: You get 3 lives. If you die the third time, you become a ghost. Might as well leave the game, because there is no apparent benefit of staying. No resurrection and you lose any experience you acquired during that scenario. Your character becomes a spirit . You can either revive the spirit (using your prestige points) or utilize the spirit form for another character you made. The spirit can be summoned once during a scenario for fantastic effects like massive aoe damage, aoe stun, etc. You must relog after 1-2 scenarios you play or else the game kicks you out. This bug should be a priority. There are guilds and leaderboards. Other than chest pounding, I do not see any other features for guilds. Grinding: Yes this game promotes scenario grinding. Some consolation is that the scenario maps do change and optional subquests come up. Some are bettter than others. As usual, players find the scenario that yields the most experience in the least amount of time and grind it. One week after launch and there are level 40-50 toons. Microtransactions = Item Mall - you can spend your money for virtual gold. Gold is used to buy potions, upgrade your Hall (Housing for your toons and some rooms provide buffs for your toons), and /or upgrade your appearance. Paying for a different look seems odd, but given the game demands lots of time to grind for gear, players may want to invest some coin just so that feel more unique. So far, as a casual player with limited time to devote and expenses, it is a fair game to play. The relog bug will be its biggest barrier because the frustration meter will accelerate if one has to relog after each scenario.

When I look at the screenshots, go to the store and see that they just selling you PLAIN GOLD I can tell 100% that this game is NOT worth trying. I better stick with Runes of Magic. Much more fun and especially important - MORE ORGANIZED that this piece of... game. Enjoy your dumb grind... epic.. warriors. |

It is true that the game suffers from many bugs and have problems. But it's also a very fun game and quite worthwhile. Maybe the launch was a bit to soon (which is shown by the fact that GOA has since backed down and now call the game "open beta" and not final any more), but it has great potential. And yes, for those who mentioned, it does have similarities with DungeonRunner, but have some new ideas not seen elsewere as well. |

Yeah, its like eating the same soup over and over again except this time its a lot of soup that you MUST eat, and you're not hungry. I tried the game, and I already can feel the grind even on first 4 levels. I mean with level cap 50, not get to at least level 5 in a couple of hours it just shows what a horror of leveling grind awaits you ahead. Good its a free game for a first 7 levels. I am definitely NOT playing it any further. I'll stick to Runes of Magic for now. |
