Everyone is complaining about having nothing to play but people still do not take advantage of free betas. Shit like that baffles me. Thanks man good looking out.

Only played 4 hours today. It's very NWN like. It's not exactly a full MMO fix but it may be interesting enough for some to play for a bit or even as a part-time fix inbetween WoW sessions. Client is at least stable/bug free from what I can see in 4 hours ... at least it didn't crash like AO/SB

I can't say any one thing I actually like about the game just yet. It is quite simplistic. Like NWN but with multi-player built-in ... common area is Stormreach where you can form groups to do quests.

It's worth a look especially if you are a gamer at heart and like seeing different gaming implementations.

On a Turbine marketing strategy note making it a free trial at least let's them gauge who has interest in the game. I think management wants to know if it's a complete flop or not. I think the current money model is wrong on the game; i.e. buy then pay monthly fee. Perhaps this is a trial of making it free to install with monthly fees as ; verus the public message forum consensus of the reverse of this! ... (GW like model where you buy upfront then it's free)

Recurring revenue is always > upfront cash I think hehe.

ok downloaded it, gave it a try.

i actually didn't mind it much, i started a halfing rouge with DW. But then i thought to myself.. Why am i gonna bother playing this when i can just play Oblivion for free'er =)

I'm done with MMORPGs.. might play warhammer, only becuase it is mythic, which means it will be PvP.

Sort of felt dirty typing tha out, becuase i hate mythic, but damn. DAOC was just to damn good, even tho i hate it.. it is still the best thing out there. Warhammer has to be good.
