I recently tried this game and it has everything a lot of pvpers are asking for yet they are not there. It requires skill as in there are no dice rolls to the combat. Win or fail depends on your ability to dodge the enemy fire while making contact with your own. The game has a pvp focus first and foremost. You can be on a certain faction or be a pirate. I don't see why all the pvpers do not flock to this game. The first thing I noticed is the depth and surprisingly good graphics this game offers. I think it is an excellent space MMORPG if you are burnt out on fantasy titles. It does offer a free trial. If you choose to do the trial I recommend the tutorial to get you started. The game has more depth than most out so might be a slight learning curve. The tutorial is intuitive and laid out well you shouldn't have a problem learning the basics as I did not. I don't know if I myself will continue playing because I am a PvE player mainly at heart but if it was PvE instead of a PvP focus I would sign up today. It doesn't seem to get the attention this gem deserves. I thought I would make some pvpers aware of this great pvp title. You don't even have to have Windows to play it if you do not want to. There is a Linux port as well! Have a great day. |

My post was blunt, and I should probably explain myself. Of course I read reviews, and I also want the game to feel seemless. But, based on your post, you haven't done near enough research or watched enough videos to know for yourself. There's A LOT of info on this game, just be sure to look for the most current things that show the better quality graphics --- IF you're someone who worries about graphics. Which brings me to my second point. I get real worked up over people complaining about graphics (as can clearly be seen by my other posts). I feel there is way too strong an emphasis on graphics and not enough on gameplay. The problem is that most people flock to the 'nice looking' games and say things like 'oo, that game isn't pretty, I'll stay away from it' when a games graphics are "outdated." And thus, feel like there are no good games. Because, frankly, the nicer looking games tend to have shallower gameplay as so much of the development has been spent on the graphics. WAR, from what I've seen, has absolutely no problem with a uniform look and feel that makes it seem more like a world. And, because the graphics aren't the best in business, more people will have access to the game, allowing for truly fullscale battles and more fun had by all!!!
Wow. I think that covers it!
You got me all wrong. I would play EQ 1 to this day if it did not go past Velious. So I value gameplay a lot more than graphics .. but .. I want whatever type of graphics a game has be it beautiful to simple to be uniform. If it is not uniform like in EQ1 today it removes me from the game world while playing. It is the immersion factor I am speaking of here. I am perfectly fine with old EQ graphics. In fact if EQ 1 exist today up to Velious... that is where I would be right now! |

How am I trolling? I am starting to think that people will say that someone is trolling if they do not like what they type in a post. This is no troll post. I come here to read others opinions of the graphics and also to see if anyone else has any insight on this. |

The whole idea of reading up on graphics is just well ......... i dont have a word for it, YOUR SUPPOSE TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE then devolpe a opinion on how you thin kit looks. People said WoW looks like crap, i liked the art style personaly. Others said doom 3 had sweet graphics when it came out, i personally hated them.
I have seen screenshots and they look good to me. I have talked to a friend or two in beta that says they made changes though, so I am unsure if those new screens are up. I have no problems with WoWs graphics. I do have a problem with two different sets of graphics in one game. |

Fails because it brings up legit concerns? If you don't feel they are legit then move along. I prefer myself to play a game that flows together smoothly. This is one of the reasons I will not touch EQ anymore. It is a mix matched pile of trash. If you don't mind playing a game that looks like a frankenstein so be it. |

Well by your logic, will you buy anything without reading reviews on it? Or do you just go shell out the money and then go "Darn, wish I didn't buy this. Only if I would have read up on what was in it or what wasn't." It is called being a wise shopper. |

I have read that some races look like they were created in a different graphic engine than others. If this is the case I will be staying away from the game. I like to feel like I am in a world, and this would detract from it if it feels like two games mashed together.
I was told that some look like WoW and others LOTRO, that would be an ugly mess. I also heard similar game problems with graphics mix matched throughout the world. I hope this isn't the case. |

If you don't realize taking advantage of others in any sense is wrong ..... that is including in a game then you just lack morals. |

People, including at least one former dev from SOE, have suggested that marketting types began suggesting radical changes to the game that would be sure to make the game a success. Many of these radical changes would copy WoW outright, others seemed to copy another successful game at the time, StarWars Battlefront. So, instead of following through on their original vision, and implementing the bug fixes that players and devs worked on together, SOE tried to tap into WoW's audience via two rushed, bug-ridden, unwanted entire game revamps. The second revamp was arguably the worst, in that much of the players' progress up to that point was simply deleted, along with most of the game's professions. Add to that the idea that the second revamp was a surprise, and that it invalidated much of a new expansion people just paid for two weeks earlier, and you have an MMO catastrophe. Since all of that has happened, SOE has slowly added back some of the features that used to make the game enjoyable. They have also addressed some bugs and issues, but many still remain, and the playerbase has been put through a meat grinder. Now there's talk of a new StarWars MMO coming out in a couple of years, and people wonder if SWG will survive. So, I think a lot of the devs knew what needed to be done, but they weren't sitting in the big chair. In fact, some devs warned management that their strategy was going to cost them much of their current playerbase. A minority of the devs present were pitching some of the whacky ideas that ended up in the second, hated revamp, but many (probably most) were not. Some developers left SOE when they learned what was going on, and others asked for transfers to other projects. So, what went wrong? In summary, everything I've seen suggests that with WoW's success, management hit the panic button and decided upon a poorly thought out "copy wow" strategy, instead of sticking with their original vision and making it a success. In so doing, they turned a game with some problems into a nightmare, alienated most of their players and damaged their reputation in the industry.
And this is one reason I am getting sick of MMORPGS. They are always sacrificing the original vision that got them the success they have. This doesn't just apply to SOE, even though they are the worse for doing this. WoW has ruined there own game by trying to add features of new games that are percieved threats. Seige weapons? Flying mounts? A pure focus on PVP? Yep, WoW is just a crumbling game now trying to be something it isn't. They should remember how they got their success, it was the original game design they put forth. Same goes for SOE and there games, EQ, SWG. I wish a game company would stop trying to change the structure of a great game mid through with expansions. I can go back and play the great game of Baldur's Gate but I can not go back and play EQ because it is no longer the great game it was. You know what, Baldur's Gate still is there playable as the original vision intended it to be and it is still great. It is it's own game. MMORPGs do not go down in history gracefully they go down crumbling. |

I see the population dropping drastically as new games come out such as Warhammer Online. I see AOC's population dropping to dangerous levels when this happens as well. I bet they will have to shut it down. |

They would have to redesign the whole game. I will not play a game that instanced. |

So I could spend $50 to see the evolution of a MMORPG go from great to a pile of crap? No thanks, moving on.
How about release classic EQ for the 10th anniversary? |

And who gives a rat's tush about little 1 versus 1 fights in a MMORPG? If that is what I wanted I would play counterstrike. |

It doesn't sound terribly instanced. I hope the areas that are not instance are massive and feel like a world. I also hope that instant travel is not in at all or at least implemented tactfully like was done originally in WoW with boats and zepplins. I think SOE is bad about doing things for the sake of convenience without thought about how it feels in the world. |
