Hi all, recently came from SWTOR and was wondering how Gods and Heroes was.  Kinda got bored with the pvp grind in Star Wars and was hoping that this had a bit of freshness to it.  I never really was interested but until the price drop and no sub I figured what the hell, lets see if its worth it.

 

Anyone have any information if its worth grabbing or not?

Thanks in Advance

They said that starting next week they would lower the price of the client to 9.99 so I'd wait.

Even better but the big question is at that price is it still worth purchasing?  ;) ;)

I've heard the game has almost no users left in it. I always wanted to try it, but from all of the bad reception I just never ended up doing it. I would say probably is worth the 9.99 if you don't mind not having many people to play it with.

I played it in beta.  I liked the game and some of the things they did, but not enough for box + sub.  From what I've read even the staunch supporters have abandoned the game.

Hmmm from what your saying may not be that promising.  Im a sucker for the Rome Era, so I may try it.  Hate to get into a game that has a lower playerbase and the future doesn't look promising ;/

I think it's worth buying at $29.99, but still you can save some money by buying it next week for a third of the price.

All it takes for evil to succeed is for the good to stand by and do nothing

Same here.  Was hoping they would have a free trial, but I guess will have to wait for the f2p model for that.

My bad.  Free trial is quite well hidden though:)

Well to be honest, the game is fun, but....they have no end content...what? They dont even have the end in and in the rate its going, they wont have it in for the next 10 years, if it ever makes it. They have to lvl 30, but the next levels 31-35 where sceduled to be in last september, but never came. Now its gonna go f2p, but who knows what that means, as they dont have crafting, tradehouse, pvp, etc. Nothing. All they have is grind, grind, grind, bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, grind, grind, bugs, etc. You get the message!

They have hardly any to none information out. There hasnt been any news since october last year, with the execption that we just heard its gonna go f2p and the price drops ( a smack in the face of those that paid alot more!).

Dont think its even worth the 10 euros really! Its dead, plain that!

I think Ripper X did a review of the starting area for this game you can check that out here at this site.

Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
