What do you think of the game so far beta testers? I have seen good and bad reviews. I cant decide whether to get Horizons or not.

When in danger or in doubt, run in circles scream and shout.

Since the Euro release will be so soon then you will probably have better luck waiting for the reviews to come out.

Although it was lifted for the press, the NDA is still in effect for the players.

Will it depends on your play style and what your looking for in a game.  I usually keep tabs on a game that I'm interested in if I'm not in the beta team.  I was in beta on this one and enjoyed myself, but thats about all I can say for now.

Please do what others do and check out the reviews and previews.  Also, make sure to keep up with the game info that is put out on the web from reviewers.

As one has already stated, the Europe is being released 12/05/03, give it a day and you will be able to find many reviews on it then.  Should be plenty of time to decide if you want to purchase it or not by release in USA on Tuesday 12/09/03.

Good luck in your search for a mmorpg and I hope HZ is what your looking for.

It's pretty significant that Horizons beta preview was so good. If they think the beta is this good, then the retail version should rule! Lets hope!

If beta still sucks at this point then there will be some big problems at release.  If you still experience a high amount of bugs and other crap, most of it will be in the retail version.  Beta is for that single reason, get the crap out before retail.  By the end of beta you are looking at what is going to be retail.  It it lacks in the end of beta, then it will blow in retail.  Remember AO launch...and SWG.  And no where in NDA does it say you can't say the game blows or not :)

Yes that is what I am doing, waiting for the reviews. What site do you think will have the European reviews?  

In response to Ursaboi's question, I'm going to be Alethor, a ranger/swordsman. I also want to use herbs for healing people, like some sort of medic.  

We should find out what the servers are going to be and then we can meet up.

game is not worth ur money at this stage.

visit the horizons.vault official forum for more detailed reviews

if you wanna pay for an extended 6 months of mediocre quality beta, then it's a game for you
