This is easily going to take top prize for the worst game of the year if it is released looking anything like it does right now.  This game should, easily,  be F2P.  Who the hell is going to pay 40 bucks plus 15 bucks per month for this turd?  The game play is horrible, the questing is tiresome, the graphics are god awful.  They can try to put as much shine as they need to on this game, but when they are done polishing it will still be a turd.  For god sakes you can go play runes of magic for free, and it beats this game hands down.  There is zero good I can say about this game at this point, and since it releases in like a week I'm sure it's going to suck just as bad at release.  By all means, if you really want to get fucked out of 40 bucks up front and 15 bucks per moth there after buy this game.  Id rather get a blow job from a cheese grater personally.

I find the graphics to better than WoW's, except for the character's and their animations.  The quests are so-so...go out and kill this...deliver this...same ole, same ole.  Is it worth the price of admission....no, but it's far from crap, imo.

OMG I'm not temp banned again? WTF?? This day does end in Y right?

10/24/09 6:03:40 PM#4

the character graphics are worse than old pre-luclin eq ffs.

EQ (MT/EMarr), WoW, EQ2, L2, VG, CoH, DDO, LoTRO, WAR, Neocron2, Requiem, AO, AoC,SWToR, Aion, plus a metric ton of trials and betas (in no set order)

Waiting on TSW since Dark Millenium was canned.

This man is not lying, its like a mutation of WoW and EQ put together, and take mutation as a bad term. This game is terribad.

To be honest I don't see how they are going to release this and not get sued by Blizzard. I know we all say "this is such a WoW clone," but literally this is completely ripped off. They use almost everything down to the font. The talent tree even look exactly the same with some icon changes and description changes.

 

This to me looks like WoW closed beta. IMO your better off NOT paying for this game and just wait for Allods which is 100x better and is FREE.

Is there any real point to the OP's attempt to start a flamewar? If you are in the beta and have a reason for your opinion, good for you. You are still under NDA so can't post constructive criticism, so we get your...what was this exactly? A goodbye and fare thee well post? 

Alganon will launch on Oct 31st. They have stated that it's a go live, period. Let them stand or fall on their own merits. I have some comments to make myself, which I can once NDA is lifted. Before then, worthless flamerant.

lol what are they going to do..Sue the OP for breaking the NDA? Have fun with that, meanwhile getting manhandled by Blizzard's lawyers. Ya, they will have bigger things on there plate then somebody in a forum saying how crappy their game is.

 

I 100% agree with the OP and I never felt so strongly on how bad a game was before launch then this one. Starting a flamewar on a game that is questionable is one thing, but anything bad ANYBODY can say about this game is pretty true.

 

On a positive note to Alganon, the study system is kinda neat.

 

P.S. WoW friend told me that Alganon is VERY close to a boss in WoW, Algalon....weird. <have to take his word since I don't play WoW>

I could not agree more with the OP they are close to launch and you cannot even figure out how to hit the ACCEPT button on the intial splash screen without changing your settings to a crazy high rez (my desktop icons were microscopic) the game does not set or reset for this you have to figure this out.

  Just logging in is like playin the lottery...maybe you will maybe you wont

  The characters look awful like a copy of wow monsters from southern hell

  The gameplay is completely predictable..... I have no idea who this game is marketed for? Perhaps developmentally delayed adults woud enjoy it if they cannot wow....as wow is considerably more stable. This is not a beta bump here and there.... its a struggle to LOG IN for god's sake.

  Just when I thought no one could out do the Chronicals of Spellborn in the bore and stutter catagory.... here is Alganon which just has to mean crap in some foreign language. Plz folks...don't waste your time... hell Runes of Magic is free and kicks this games ass.  As for me  its back to Fallen Earth....buggy but at least fun and different.

To be fair, you can't give them the worst game of the year award yet. There are still six days left for sanity to prevail and the launch to be delayed until the game is actually playable.

Yep and they have copied this from EVE.. This game is a plain joke, they just copy and paste things from other game game and voila a new game... The animation is horrible, you can take only 2 race, and 4 class like many F2P games.

Ah, the point is OP isnt just bashing as it seems (by reading everydays´s bashings on this forum), the game does seem (at least in its current state) very poor (compared to the mainstream P2P games). So the only  thing( i belive)that could attract players for this game would be the comunity factor, who IS helpfull and polite ( to this moment) .

hope i made myself clear this time =)

To be honest, if it's as bad as folks seem to think, I can't imagine WoW would bother suing. That would just give Alganon publicity and cost Blizzard money to bring the lawsuit.

 

I'll confess to never having played it, but I think "worst game of the year" might be a stretch. However, I think that when you charge $50 and $15/month you're setting premium expectations. I bet folks would be a lot more forgiving had they started out with more modest goals.

I played the beta for a few days. I don't think that I am breaking the NDA by stating that IMO launching this game in 6 days is ridiculous. The company must be under financial constraints is the only reason that I can figure. Its a shame when the accountant has more power than the development team. I would really liked this game to have been successful. A small independent studio with a first time hit is what is needed to shake up the MMORPG industry.
