Tyres100 writes: Lots of unique custom things you can do. I bet SOE is taking everything they know and what other popular games already have like WOW to throw into this game. I can't wait to try it. And that no buying the game box and logging into the game from the website is a major plus. That alone will draw in tons of customers. Thu Aug 07 2008 2:03PM Report

Tyres100 writes: Mikey11111 Name one top of the line MMO that does this? This whole game will be played by logging into the website then hitting play. No wait time and no large files on your PC. It is quick and fast, for a top made product by a huge company. Thu Aug 07 2008 3:05PM Report

professer writes: Wow, there is nothing special about a client that you launch from a webpage. There are plenty of games that have done that. It looks like it will be a fun game though, nothing I could see my self getting into seriously. Thu Aug 07 2008 7:20PM Report

redavni writes: This is only the 2nd project I know of that is doing the web to full screen game, the other being Quakelive, which isn't out yet either. I'd like to know what game professor is talking about as well. What engine is this game using? It can't be a fully Flash engine...can it? Fri Aug 08 2008 2:50AM Report
ZtyX writes: That guy Matt Hegby is really good. He will get a good future in MMORPG development. Anyways. Nice interview. I'm looking forward to giving this game as a present to my little borther and sister if they don't want to play Darkfall because it's too hard. It's clear to see that SOE is trying to compete with Runescape and the game really looks like World of Warcraft. It's good for the business. Well done SOE. I played Runescape for a long time and I know that there are lots of customers our there. My littlebrother plays adventure quet for God's sake. There should be more games for him than Runescape, which will make him very addicted and then Adventure quest which is oversimplistic. Fri Aug 08 2008 5:34AM Report
Finbar writes: An MMO designed for kids might attract all types of shady people (you know who I mean... the creepy uncle types?). I hope SOE has more live CS than they have in the past to try and stop those (insert very harsh language here) jerks. Fri Aug 08 2008 8:29AM Report

fenrisblue writes: in order to see how many games that are using the browser to load and play a game you only have to type"browser games" in your search engine, there are actually a few games,they are usually really bad games, so this doesnt bode well for free worlds. secondly soe sdoesnt have an image problem, it has a retard problem, please learn to tell the diferance between your opinion and fact,lastly every game has the kreepy unlce thing, and every game,even age of conan has little kids playing,you get that everywhere,dont forget what smedly was saying about his kids and parental controlls,but enough about you fools, the gmae looks like it may be fun, ill probably give it a try to see what its about,but its geared towards kids so who knows Fri Aug 08 2008 10:42AM Report
Mrbloodworth writes: It launches FROM a browser, NOT IN. Fri Aug 08 2008 12:02PM Report
dan7 writes: In my honest opinion, this game does not look to shabby. It seems like it will attract the younger audience, while looking very similar to WoW. Seriously, this games art work really reminds me of WoW. Can't wait to see how SoE and this game together plays out. Fri Aug 08 2008 12:27PM Report
DarkDavis writes: This is actually really interesting. Way to go guys, keep up the good work, it looks really promising! Sat Aug 09 2008 11:06AM Report
linadragon writes: Well lets hope they dont have the SoE touch of death this time around lol... It looks good but alot of stuff they've had looked good then turned into crap... They ruined SWG and a few others games. Lets just hope it doesnt go that route this time around... Sat Aug 09 2008 2:05PM Report

zerocount writes: It looks like you sign in from the website and this launches a seperate client that gets installed when you sign in. Unlike runescape that plays in a browser, I guess like Horizons (or whatever it's called) launched Mon Aug 11 2008 6:32PM Report
