They are still releasing it here.  Though I do not know if the servers will be located here or in europe.  Guess we will have to wait and see.

The things that got me interested:

The story and quests - how you can go back in time, that everything is NOT instanced, that some quest chains are very very long

The guild and player housing - how if you do something remarkable in game your server knows about it via a statue in the town square - or if your guild does something great you get things for your guild hall

The combat system where you actually have to aim - and you can dodge spells they arent homing-missiles - and the pvp isnt too much or too little

The city of heroes-like fantasy character creation - extremely detailed AND if you want to be a double bladed mage type class wearing mail armor you can! there is no restrictions! PLUS your gear doesn't have stats so your skill is based.... on YOU!  Not how much AGI or STR or Spell dmg you have (level does matter tho, but atleast 2 ppl of equal level wont have to worry about the other persons gear)

The unique artwork for the buildings, the characters, the landscape

The PeP system - which is basically the longer you stay alive the more powerful your character gets - if you die it resets back to zero - in other words theres no negative penalty for dying like losing exp.

The sound and music - I like how its dark and haunting

I like their catchphrase too - What lies hidden must be found - I am a true mmo explorer i love nothing more than to search around and find hidden things - and tcos has tons of that.

And finally I got into the closed beta ;)  and that was enough for me!

Yea they have really done a great job of pulling the best things from other games AND creating tons of never before used ideas - imo its the perfect game.

More people need to see these!!

This new dev chat will discuss guilds!

If you are interested in the previous dev chats check out: http://www.tcos.com/en/community/devchats.php

Tons of great information from the actual devs!

awesome!! great to know that progress is being made :D

Yea the raiding in wow was ridiculous...grinding through endgame bosses to get better gear to do it all over again over and over.... HOW FUN 

I am so excited that spellborn is making a stand against repeatable content. 

They are not based on a fiscal year. 

They are based on the traditional quartered year.

Quarter 1 - Jan - Mar
Quarter 2 - Apr - Jun
Quarter 3 - Jul - Sept
Quarter 4 - Oct - Dec

According to their website.  Open beta is scheduled for September, with the released scheduled for October this year.

This game is going to be awesome!  Go join their website and read their forums.  There is a ton of info there.  The community is definitly better and more mature than any other mmo I've seen.  The uniqueness and ingenuity is very refreshing.  Definitly going to be fun with such a different type of mmo.  This is exactly what we need right now for the people sick of the item-based, button-mashing, types out there now!

There will be different things to set goals for.  Not all mmo's are like WoW.

I'm really worried about it not being item based. Its going to be diffrent.  I really think alot of people will lose the drive to play if there isn't that awesome weapon or armor everyone wants to get out there. I do like the new combat system and i think it will make the game very intense and fun to play.  Going to keep an open mind and give this a shot i think when it comes out.

I agree with the above post.  The Spellborn design team is very involved with the community.  They genuinely care about what we have to say and try their best to consider our thoughts.  You talk right with the dev's not just a forum community rep. 

Just go and join the spellborn forums on www.tcos.com and become a member there, talk to the regulars there.  You will see the difference. :)

Yes cant wait!!!!
