I thought you'd get some kind of add ons which you could embed in your armour to make it more powerful, but the look of the armor would stay the same...............

Yes and no. You can put Sigils in armor for certain enhancements, but you can refit those Sigils in other armor pieces you find in the game and wear those instead of you original armour. In fact the armour you can choose at character creation can be bought in shops too, but the armour you loot or get as quest rewards are usually better looking. And you can dye you armour at any time.

I tried it yesterday and gonna keep on trying it today.

So what does this game has bad that made it fail from p2p? I mean this is one of the first "f2p" mmorpg that I didn't yawn after a few minutes. It has nice customizations and can make your character look how you want it with whatever weapon you want, amazing graphics, an interesting story and atm seems a strategical battle system.

I'm in no way trying to advertise the game or hyping it up just so you know I'm just curious on how this game gone to f2p when it was p2p.

It was kinda thin on content when they released it. Don't know about now.

Still, I thought it was better than many other MMOs, even though gameguard sucks.

What I am really concerned about is this:

"But creating an individual character does not stop in look and physiognomy.
In The Chronicles of Spellborn players can even choose armour and weapons right from the start. There are no class or races restrictions. You can choose to look cool and impressive straight at level one. Spellcasters can wear heavy armour and warriors can look skinny and wear no armour at all, if desired."

I don't want a newby to look "cool and impressive", and certainly I don't want a mage to look like a warrior.
It might be trivial for some people, but to me all this freedom of customisation, kills the RPG element of the game.
You need to earn the right to look cool and impressive.
Basically the selling point of this game was the reason I didn't play it (just few levels in beta)
 

 I liked the concept of the game, it seemed fun and it sort of was, but it just didn't do it for me. Even though combat was twitch based, I personally think the combat animations were half assed (which means a lot to me) and aside from the lack of a fair population, it has FPS dips that go below 30 FPS on a high-end machine.

It's still here on my PC, but I have had absolutely no urge to start it up again and I personally think that making this game F2P will probably ruin it as well.

This game felt like like an uderdevelopment twisted atempt of making a MMO.

The lore is crap, the graphics are ugly [subjective but many people warnned the devs about it], the char control system and movement is crap, the loot system is crap the skill system is crap, the agro system is crap etcetc.. crap crap crapovsky all over the bloody game.

The only good thing was the music.. and music sells records, not mmos.

PS: You might find this post crappy.. and probably it is because the thats the only word it comes to my mind when thinking of this game.. really.

The way that the devs released TCoS destroyed it.

Note to all developers If your going to release in one area of the world do not IP ban everyone else.

This left the Euro servers near dead when the NA servers were released and it never recovered.

Now TCoS will be F2p with a cash shop and with that the good element of a mmo is gone..... The community.

It still is thin on content.

Hi everyone, from what I'm reading the game is now free? (not like before, you reach lvl 7 and you have to pay from then on) I was in the beta of this game, i liked it very much, but I honestly don't think it deserves a monthly fee, and if everything here is right, the company finaly realized this.

Best free to play game around....

Lacking end game content though, so its not a long term game.

You mean once they relaunch with micro transactions?

Well there was not a lot of content, not a lot of reasons for grouping. There was only (basically) one way to level up. The faction based ideas with houses that they had was great but not followed through, no end game content. The game got boring very fast I think the playerbase quickly fell away starting with the higher level players and when guilds started to fall apart it was doomed. All the other mistakes and strange stuff around TCoS would have been survivable. But most players quit before the Dutch company folded, there was just not enough fun things do do.
