These are my first impressions of the game. It is not a review as I have not played it for long enough (i.e to level 1 million or whatever,) to have a comprehensive grounding in the system. This is just what I found after logging in for the first time.

1) The font used is horrible and difficult to read to the point where I am not even sure what race I am. Its the ones with guns just so you know.

2) There is absolutely no character creation at the moment. It consists of pick your realm, pick your profession, pick an avatar. That's it. You cant alter your face, hair, build etc or your stats or skills.

3) There appears to be no day/night cycle and there most certainly is no weather.

4) The MOBS are the usual fare. Stand in on spot with a neon sign above them saying 'kill me I am worth X amount of exp'. So nothing new or innovative there. They also re-spawn after about 5 seconds so there is no point running around. You can stay in one spot and shoot the crap out of the same one over and over again.

5) I think I am the only one playing it so I would just like to say Hi to myself.

6) The shopping mall appears to sell groovy weapons and armour that may potentially unbalance the game. I haven’t yet played long enough to find out if it is true or not.

7) Static NPC's and no mobile NPC population to make the game world seem alive, even though I am the only one in it. Same goes for the stereotypical pointless MOBS.

8) Dull graphics. I can only speak for the realm I am in at the mo, but it has absolutely no atmosphere or character. I dont care if it is 3D or not, I just care about the atmosphere/flavour a world has, and this has none.

9) Err, no community. At all. None. Nada. Zilch. Not a smidgen even.

In summary as a person who has just entered the world of Chaos, there does not seem to be much to keep me there. There is nothing new or revolutionary about any aspect of the game. What it contains can be found in every other MMORPG out there.

Bugs aside and parts yet to be added I dont hold out much hope for this games future. I will keep on playing for a while longer to see where it goes but that is only because of terminal curiosity.

I tried the game and exited, deleted and even deleted the setup client in around 1 Hour. Is it a Mmo? I doubt that very much.

Update:

I tried.  I really did.  All that happened was that I fell asleep and drooled all over my keyboard.

There is absolutely nothing about this game apart from the mechanics to keep a player interested.    

The world has no character or atmosphere and the character models look naff.  At no point while starting out was I interested in the person I was playing and there was nothing in game to change this.  Add to that the incessant grinding that to my mind is a pandemic that has infected all these games, nothing ingame that is in any way innovative and no community to speak of, Chaos Online to me personally is a fail.

Duly deleted.  Player moving on.

well it is still in beta right mabey it will add something to it  I personaly havent played it yet
 

Yeah it is in Alpha right now but i think it is a very good game so far and i also think it has the stuff ot draw in a good amount of players. I persoanlly am tired of those games with tons of people due to the fact they are mainly kids and are very annoying to the point of pulling out my hair. But yeah my first impression so far is it could do very well if people tried it for more then an hour or two. I been playing it for maybe 4 hours now and really enjoy it alot.

holy crap

the newbie looks coarse,but the screenshot looks cool,

so i think i'll play for a period of time,when i got a high level,it must be interesting

yes... we all got tricked by the screenshots.. because it creates a false believe of how "great" the game is SUPPOSED to be...

but then after you play it.. you find out it's so AWESOME!!!

It's a challenging game... and my goal is to ameliorate it by doing my part...

(cept for THAT one of the gms who pked me for no reason... but that's just my personal bias against that gm..)
