I've been in game for about 5 minutes, plays like WoW so far, which is impressive for a browser MMO.

I quit playing in less than  minutes- Plays exactly like WOW but on a browser.

Looks good for a browser game- Very crisp graphics, but.... I expected a bit more from a MUD designer.

 

Lot of people will like this game though.

I guess for a "browser-based" game (you need to actually download and install an application to run the game in your browser), it's really a cut above anything else out there.

 

As I'm not a fan of F2P Item malls, I can't see spending a lot of time on the game. What's more, as I've never seen prices for these item malls before, I was pretty shocked at what they were charging for stuff like bags and healing potions.

 

And $15 for 30 days of 30% bonus to XP? Seems very steep, I must say. And I assume it's on a per character basis, no for your account.

 

I'm sure there will be a market for this game, as the F2P part seems fairly impressive, even if there is quite a bit of lag and server-based fickleness at this point.

Thats the thing about F2P games, they can end up costing an awful lot of money for something thats FREE lol. Impulse buyers make these companies a lot of money.

That model works for their MUDs (Achaea and others) so I guess it will work here as well.

 

As for the game, is just in open beta. I'm playing right now and it's pretty much like WoW. I dislike the lag. I hope the game improves once is finally finished.

I am very much against item malls..

But..at least in this game you can access all the same items without having to pay for them. So it truly is free to play
