I think this game has a nice combination of reality and fantasy. It's not one of those fantasy games where everything is unrealistic. There is a nice combination of reality and fantasy. Additionally characters seem like their human, in that their strength isn't so overwhelming that you can't relate to them. However on the same token, they offer the power element for those who wish to exploit it. Ultimately the way the community develops really depends on the community itself and how the devs and community reps develop communication and rapport with the community itself.

I would so much rather have a system that gets rid of the bully, instead of forcing someone to change names to avoid one.

That would be fantastic if there was a Premium Sub or a like the do in Rift, the Patron Sub.

Id do it in a heartbeat.

I don't think they've confirmed exactly what they're showing off. It may just be a showcase of the game. I'm not sure if we should expect anything more than a plan for whatever they have in mind regarding combat.

If thats the case then how will they manage EA in May. If they only have a plan, not a working version of the new combat for NA EA. I hope you are mistaken.

Talking about expenses brings up just how silly some people are...EVE for example...a ship sold for $9000 USD and the worst part? It was a sanctioned transaction that CCP. However the creme de la creme has to be Entropia with it's $635,000 USD piece of virtual property and that too...was a sanctioned sale.

A ship going for that amount makes me think about Ready Player One. With all the virtual property and such.

Assassin yes, but it Mystic is still locked on JPN as well. Same with the Warlock. So makes me wonder if those just aren't finished yet.

Well I can say this much. On JPN today I made a Hieron toon and it would not let me make a Union toon on that server. So unless they change it, it appears to be Faction Server Locked.

That's a pretty broad statement to make. Do you really think it's going to be that different on day 1? They haven't had much time to do anything besides localize it, be realistic. I am expecting a very similar game to JP and for it to evolve over time. It's better that they respond to the Western community directly rather than base it on assumptions.

I think you are exactly right Pen. They arent reinventing the game, just changing the combat mechanic to a more streamlined style.

The assassins daggers are good size and looks like they Cross Mount on the Back. I have always loved that look.

I hope the assassin gets fixed soon.

Gees I spend 100-200 one night going out in Vegas.

There may be a premium sub option though. I really wish the game was sub.

Im with you. Ive always preferred Sub games as well.

SC is definitely a major players. Not my style but game is going to be huge for a lot of people. Could not believe the prices of some of their ships.. insane...

I can see why people would want this but as a business you want to keep people in your "store" for as long as possible. Imo I don't think its a good business decision. I don't mind playing on more than 1 server but I'm sure there will be people who just want to play on 1 server and restricting their options may cost in the long run.

I never really thought of it in that aspect. To me, I was thinking more along the lines of cross faction spying. If the PvP skirmishes and the Guild Vs Guild events are a big part of the game, then limiting cross faction would be logical.

Very Welcome.

WoW has a lot of staying power. It has games that provided it lore to built upon over the years. People are invested in their characters. WoW will likely die. The dedicated fanbase is very similar to that of FFXI which is the only other MMO other than Ultima that have a reputation of hard core players after 10+ years. But this is a very different age. It's going to be very hard for Neowiz to establish that kind of fanbase. It's not impossible, but they are going to have to make the game very engaging in order to accomplish that.

I think the time of long lasting games is at an End. The way people play and the time they invest is changing.

People currently playing the JPN client said that level cap is extremely fast. With the NA client, I hope they slow it down a bit. Last thing the game needs is tons of people at max level and very little to do.

I don't want to sound bleak, but a paid name change is just something I can't see any MMORPG giving up. It's like a service that is almost free money to them. Don't know if 'every' online game allows a paid or free name change so I can't generalize that comment.

Perhaps I was in a different mental state and decided to create a new character and level to 40. Upon returning to normal I regret the name and don't want to grind 40 levels again.

Perhaps someone's getting bullied and the GMs can't take action because they weren't actually breaking ToS while in the context of the game.

Hmm, perhaps I'm having a midlife crisis and need to create a new online identity?

It's like a double edged sword, but the advantage lies with the game company.

Actually, games like Pantheon have already said they will not offer name changes or server transfers. They are more about building the community.

Didnt you know posting Read the FAQ is a great way to get your post count up without actually contributing anything to the conversation.

Most developers shy away from Graphic engine changes unless there is a problem. Bless seems to be easy on eyes but how will it perform in a Huge AE or PVP battle. That is the true test.

i hope not subscription

Its not. Its Buy 2 Play, meaning you buy the game and there will be a cash shop, but no Subs.

I do hope they slow it down a bit.

I disagree.

If someone changes names enough times "seen it in WoW" you forget who they are or why they are on your block list.

There are many games that did server merges but no game that was doing "well" has to do them. Last legs doesn't mean they are completely done for it means that the player base is minuscule and not doing well.
