The animations are the only thing that bugs me about the game. They look way to stiff and the character faces are not very detailed. Comparing this two things with aoc is why i think they will improve it. I mean, aoc had fantastic animations and faces at launch, and looking at tsw now in comparison to the launch of aoc is laughable.

But that is the olny thing im worried about the game and i dont think it will change my opinion of purchasing it at release.

Dont know if anyone mentioned this game http://www.pathofexile.com/. It will be a truly free to play game with no cash shop but just some convenience rmt. Plus im in the beta and its aweome! 

Its not a true mmorpg, but more of an online arpg. It has some amazing ideas regarding how classes, skills and weapons work. Check it out!

You have Free, Premium And Legendary. If you never bought the game, you will be Free, if you bought the game but not currently subbed you'll be Premium, and if you want to be Legendary you need to subb.

I would like a key thanks! :)

edit: nwm i used STRAF-9HKKP-EGUM9-6W6MP-QFATW ty!

Yes there are small, instanced pvp battlegrounds BUT there are also massive PERSISTENT pvp zones in which the factions fight against one another and whoever wins gets bonuses for thier whole faction!!! Over 100 players can participate in these btw, so i would guess the game isnt just battlegrounds :)

I just got my key from ZAM http://www.zam.com/giveaways/hellgate.html

The Secret World cant come soon enough. This genre needs a game like it... a cross beetwen, skill based, open world, no classes, and yet a little themepark, mmorpg. Lets just hope Funcom doesnt screw anything, cuz thats the only mmorpg on the horizon that even remotely interests me.

After trying 95% of mmorpgs on the market, i gotta say FOnline2238 is the BEST mmorpg currently available!

First of all, its completely FREE, they only ask you for donations to keep the server running. Second, its totally open, skill-based, ffa-pvp, full loot, do-what-you-want-to-do and, more importantly, be what you want to be mmorpg! 

The game is very hard, you'll die a lot, and learn on your mistakes. When you learn the ropes and start to understand the game better, you are hooked! Its based on Fallout 2 engine and character progression, so any of you not familiar with it, i suggest you check the wiki below.

http://fonline2238.blogspot.com/ and a very important wiki site for all your beginner needs  http://www.fonline2238.net/wiki/Main_Page

Its currently in open beta, so there are bugs.. remember, the game is being developed by an indie team with no funding, so have some respect in what they have done! :)

Ill do my best to spread the word on mmorpg.com, and show all you sandbox lovers that there is a real game out there!

So a.. how is the game? Is it a good sandbox, skill based mmorpg?

Didnt had fortune with obtaining a key and checking the game out :(..

For me the best mmorpg out there right now is Fonline 2238.

 http://fonline2238.blogspot.com/  http://www.fonline2238.net/wiki/Main_Page

Ill make a new topic soon describing the game and why its fantastic. In a nutshell its a Fallout 2 mod that makes the game a mmorpg. Its in open beta currently, it wont cost a dime wgen its released and the devs are only asking for donations to keep the server running. 

Its a full sandbox, open world, ffa pvp, full loot, skill based mmorpg. Yes. Yes it is. And i love it. There needs to be more word spreading about this game, believe me...  Please do check it out..

p.s. considering its full loot, ffa pvp, you'll die a lot, and get mad etc... butdont lose hope, cuz when you start "getting"the game and see just how many options the game has you'll fall in love. 

p.p.s read the wiki! It has great info about the game, and what to do when you're starting out.. Good luck!

Please if i can get a key, id be very appreciated! Thanks!

Much better!!! Thank you Trion for constantly listening to players needs! Great developers!

If you go the official site youll find everything you need to know about the ftp model. It looks like lotro model, but better cuz youre not limited to the amount of quests or level..

POTBS is now launched as a ftp titel. As far as i can tell it has a good free to play model! Come and play.

key please

id love a key thanks!

BUMP!!

The new screens are bitchin'!!! cant wait for the new trailer on the 25th.

 It is really a great multiplayer experience. Thank god they released dedicated servers! It was hell without them. 

To the poster above me... really? Its a bad game? Name me one reason why you shouldnt recommend it?

Even when the sync issues are fixed, the game is still going to be boring with a slow, slow slow combat system.

You were trying to attack something with your starter axe, didnt you?

The sterter axe isnt made for combate IN ANY WAY! Gather with it, and afterwards make a real weapon with what you gathered.

DONT FIGHT WITH YOUR STARTER WEAPON!
