-graphs sucks rly...

-kinda boring at start. don't find anything innovative.

7/10

I kinda like the graphical styly, even though all players have very large feets.

But the game could really have more quests, while it doesn't seem particulary buggy (except stupid Gameguards vista compability problems) it do need a lot of more content to be a better game.

Nice combat system though.

 i think it is quite ag ood game.. the begining isnt boring the game is just hard to grasp at the begining the graphics are suprisingly nice quite detailed combat is ... new :D the game has great humor lol and the community is great but the best suprise is the AI and its reaction i havent yet seen that in an mmo and the sound it terrific.... as far as i played it i only came on one bug and that is you cant sit on a chair xD so no gamebreaking... i see alot of people enjoying this game and this will probable have i say....200k subs lol

The game has an AC2 feel ever so slightly. I didn't really like the combat system but overall the game was ok slightly differen't than your average mmo I guess I'd say it's a try before you buy with this one ladies unless you're 100% hyped about the game.

 i disagreed

i like the graphics

i love how i can configure my looks right from the start

i find combat more interesting then in many other mmos (well i like aoc 2 so shoot me)

i love the fact that you have to read the quests

i love the fact that the classes arent typical healer, tank dd

all and all im happy i ordered the game and ill prolly trade war for tcos
on the downside, tcos is low budget, it isnt overhyped, it prolly isnt as content rich as others but it has a very solid base and i hope (even tough they messed up with the distribution deal) it will develope slowly and positively similar to eve
 

 I love TCoS but they completely screwd the game by excluding UK  from Europe. I'm also angry because Italy (where I live) don't have a publisher yet and nor Spain 

I think it is weird that clothes/armour is for looks alone. I have a hard time accepting a full plate player with AC as if wearing cloth or the other way around. I understand that they want to make gear less of an aspect to the game, but to me it is just stupid.

I very much suspect I will try it anyway, I always end up trying most MMO:s...oh and the skill system looks very interesting and innovative.

Everything you said.

This is the first game where I actually want to read the quest dialogue and play the game because it's so much fun to play, instead of rushing through the content to get to the higher level group content to farm items.

Many of the quests are so brilliantly written they deserve a prize for that alone. I've only played until lvl 10, so I can only hope it stays that way on higher levels.

But there still are some issues, they need to impelent a tutorial to instruct people that it is possible to dodge attacks, i played the game for a week whithout realizing I was playing it wrong. It's so much more fun once you figure out how you can be effective in combat.

But the base game is there, and if they get enough subscriptions to keep it running, i'm sure it will be a solid game.

I can also understand that this game is not for everyone, if you are happy with eq/wow style games then thats fine, but I was looking for something different and this game is awesome if you can accept some of the refreshing game concepts.

Also, graphics dont suck.

Yes, totally agree with both of you. I have ordered the game and am looking forward to Thursday.
