 Excellent Foundation but Over Criticized. September 1, 2008
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
The game is actually quite nice if you don't rush through it and listen toe the flame fest. If you have a powerful system and can max out the graphics, it's amazing even on DX9. The DX10 video previews are also very impressive and due out soon.

No free 30 days without handing over credit card first, and they don't accept Discover. I'm not giving a company my ATM card that seems to think they can trick 14 bucks out of my pocket... what are they a porn site? Let people sign up, then force them to start playing on paying basis. Sorry, game looks great but crappy account management means I immediately uninstalled it, giving it to a friend. Maybe they'll give it a good review, this seriously pissed me off.
Not worth your time.... August 18, 2008

Maybe its me but all MMO's lately seem to be the exact same but this game is HORRIBLE! I was in the beta and was pretty excited about it honestly. I bought it when it came out and played it quite a bit. The crafting sucks, the social sucks, huge bugs(which is to be expected when something is released.) and the worst part....3 months after release the design crew has systematically destroyed this game. More things are broken now than at release. I was very disappointed. If you want something fun and solid with good crafting with hardly any bugs I would try LOTRO
Biggest grinder ever made. All the items look the same. Creative use of maybe a total of 20 total armor sets in marketing. August 14, 2008

The conent in this game literally runs out at points and you have to aimlessly grind mobs to level.
With dwindiling numbers on most all servers, finding groups for end zone quest lines is completely impossible. And the 1-80 levelling experience is absolutely dependant on these quests for experience points.
SO you end up having to repeat "villas" (can you say badge runs, only they start at low level, 5 tiny instances that all look the exact same, with boring goals such as "collect valuables in villa verde"). This will get you a 5th of a level every 6 hours on a timer.
OR you can mindless kill random mobs at 1000 experience each, for a total of 1.3 million to level, you do the math on the kills needed for that.
The armor is blatant false advertising.
Think world of warcraft, level 1-10 armor sets, with different stats at level 80.
TERRIBLE weapons and armor selection.
For former warcraft players, I will give you an idea of the games size, think elwyn, westfall, duskwood, redridge, felwood, and blasted lands.
Thats how small it is, about perhaps half of one wow continent.
They try to disguise this with lengthy zone in and zone out load screens.
Mounted travel, is around the same speed as running on foot.
Mounted combat, doesn't allow for use of abilities, only standard weapon swings, which are very weak attacks and meaningless in pvp, players regenerate health faster than normal swings take it away one must use combos to kill an opponent, and cannot on a mount.
Can't recommend this at all, boring, buggy and no rewards worth the play.

Just a normal person I am. Not a professional at this at all on reviews.
I do really like this game a lot. After the very long install and all the updates I jumped right in and chose my character who was a Guardian. Very fun and strong character to play for a new player wanting to kick some tooshy when starting out. The game control is very fun and I love the new styles of attacks and all too. The graphics are just downright beautiful and everyone that I have played with on there has been very fun and friendly.
The only down side I have to this game is merely just technical. The forums prove it too. You can go into the forums and read the plethora of gripes and complaints on everyones issues. I won't go into great detail other than saying that the imaging stuttered on my screen during game play. Needless to say I tried everything that anyone offered to resolve it and ended up canceling my account in less than a month of game play. The game has many bugs and still needs a lot of work. There have been many people buying newer systems thinking it would resolve the issue and they are still having problems.
If you really want to play this game try the trial before you buy it just to be sure it is for you. Again it is a fun game and beautiful graphics. I've only suspended my account until I know everything is finally out of the beta stage and fully finished and working fine without as many complaints.
I do hope this helped someone out there. Good luck on your gaming adventures.
Just wanted to update my notes here. Would rate it 4 stars now. I recently built a new PC and now the game plays flawless. Have not ran into any technical difficulties yet. Not saying to get the exact same specifications on your computer that I have. But this is what I built:
EVGA nForce 680i SLI mobo
EVGA nvidia GeForce GTX 260 graphics
2 Gigs DDR2 6400 memory
700 Watt Power Supply (of course)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Processor
