Anyone tried this yet?

No, but I'm interested in it. My other half is too. We're sad like that.

One of my mature students at work was supposed to be picking it up on Friday so I'll get a full report (and possibly a weeks free trial) on Tues.

Had it since early access, canny game. Not totally finished yet and full of bugs but its playable and quite fun.

On the Bori server, few lads from Sunderland are on it.

played it a bit in beta and didn't get on with it for various reasons.

I played beta and hated it. The newer clients are much better and the game is much more playable. Seriously I laughed at the game in beta but its not too bad after all the patching.

Still buggy but its quite entertaining and some of the quests and locations are good.

the main issue for me was that i didn't enjoy the combat, i found it unresponsive and in a game thats supposed to be pvp focused thats not good. I appreciate it was beta tho so I may give it another go after its had a few more patches.

I played this back in 2008 but didn't even see out the first free month.

However, I'm a bit bored and I heard this is a lot better now.

Anyone still playing it?

Played it the first few months then ditched my subs, just wasnt the game I was hoping (and that they promised).

Plus I hated the fact that some characters were WAY harder than others. Whilst I was struggling to kill 1 or 2 baddies other classes would run around and pull around 50 and kill them with aoe in about 5 seconds... It was so profitable that they would form xp groups and people would just auto follow them around collecting xp from them whilst doing nothing.

The game world looked canny and they had a class setting, but just didnt produce the game it should have been.
