I have just signed up for the beta, looks quite okay tbh.

Hope to get in within a few days - but ill hang in and just wait for a free spot.

got in, played it for a few hours nothing hooked me. Looks like they stole alot of ideas (read alot of as "all of there") from DDO. Plays very similar.
In the time i played i saw 3 other people. Nothing at all made me want to log back in. Think this will be like every other turbine / codemasters MMO recently and have no end game and can be max level in 2 weeks casual play.

Then again thats just me

i actually love playing the beta, always see'ing lots of people run around (all seem to want to solo, no groups going etc. So hopefully that'll change)

but yeh, they have stolen alot from other games (noticibly WoW/EQ2).

 

[old.Tohtori]

Oh noes. A game stole something from another game.

This must go into the same category as "hey a game got delayed" Really?! How is that possible?!"

You can say that basicly out of any game of sam genre.

There hasn't been a new idea in FPS since doom(no the f*cking gravigun isn't an innovative new idea).

There hasn't been a new idea in cargames since Test Drive 1.

There seriously hasn't been anything "omg"'ish in massives since the first rub they called AO and EQ.

It's just how it goes, the bread is sliced, deal with it.

spardas view couldn't be further from my experiences.
I logged in and the server was packed, busy in a nice way, bumping into people running around everywhere, it was really nice.
The gfx are stunning and nothing gave me a bigger buz than running around the shire with hobbit music on
The endgame is interesting, rather than having 2 realms, they have 1 realm and then people can create "monster" charachters such as spiders, orks, wargs etc, that are insta-50 and in decent kit.
Playing a monster earns you points that you can either upgrade your monster with, new spells, weapons etc, and even unlock new monster classes, or it can give benefits to your "good" charachter.
Its going to be very good I think. I plan on buying it.

Sounds like a very fun idea, I'll keep my eyes on it.

Agreed the insta50 monster level idea is cool

Wooo! Haven't heard much about that game, did some looking-around right now and I must admit that it looks like fun!

I have trouble distinguishing between your serious & non-serious posts but if that is indeed serious - then w-t-f?

 

[cHodAX]

Hmm, I didn't fancy this game at all but from Tilda said it actually might be worth a look at.

 

[Basic_X]

Can you be a ringwrath? (or whatever those flying dudes from lotr called themselvs ^^)

 

[fettoken]

I were browsing around their homepage some, thought it looked nice. But i also thought about testing Vanguard, thou it looks like Eq2 a bit. Age of Conan looks interesting also. Warhammer Online doesn´t appeal to me at all

Beautiful artwork - one that caught me eye: http://lorimages.turbine.com/files/38/41/98/88/796.jpg

it is when u can get away from the galdalf wannabies, the gimli wannabies, the legolas wannabies and whatever that fucking hobbit was called, wannabie. theres so many ppl with small variation of those names its driving me fucking insane!

 

[Ctuchik]

Can you be a ringwrath? (or whatever those flying dudes from lotr called themselvs ^^)

nope. its all very basic and down to earth kinda play. very little u can do to acually be diffrent in your playstyle and specs.

 

[Porkbelly]

anymore beta testers here yet ?

info please ...

 

[Pirkel]

Hmm, I didn't fancy this game at all but from Tilda said it actually might be worth a look at.

Another reason to shelf it then.
