My copy should arrive tomorrow, but I don't know if servers are live yet.

I read up on this game and found it interesting enough to buy.

I got this today, and I'll be installing it after my short vacation on Friday-Saturday. =) Gabriell from FFXI and I are gonna try to team up and kick some ass when he gets it. Maybe we can kick some ass with you, Scan?

Updates forthcoming.

Sure. It would be nice to have some people to play with. My main is named Zariah Scankid and she is a Ranger/Messer.

This game is a bit overwhelming in some areas. Large areas, and you can't get to new areas alone.

Also, I love the strategy in picking which abilities to bring to battle. You never know how each PVP battle is going to go. This game is all about the PVP. No doubt about it. Everytime I log on, the first thing I do is hit the arena for a few matches. They make the teams at random, but still battles can get heated. I can't wait to be a part of the Guild pvp to gain ranking, fame, rewards, and bragging rights. They also make each "world" compete againts each other (America vs Europe vs Korean). You can take control of this area or something in PVE, and players of the "world" you are on will be able to access this PVE zone where you can find awesome items. You can even pvp againts other "worlds" by going to the international-districts.

Last, I don't like is you can't see your guild mates location, level, and class. This game needs some work on the UI options. I really would like to see what my total armor rating is like I mention in an above most. Then the "one person zone, the whole group zones" thing is a bad idea when you take immature players into account. I already was in a team with one. The bastard kept zoning us back and forth between areas.

Overall, I think this game has lots of potential. I thing the fact its free to play online gives the developers an incentive to add more quality content. With pay games, they try and stretch out the game as much as possible so they can bleed out money from the player base.

Take WoW for example. They were going to wait 6 months to release content in one big patch. But people complained and Blizzard finally released an update. And still all the stuff that was promised at launch is not in the game. Granted WoW feels like the most complete MMORPG at launch ever. I really think a lot of the areas that are "unfinished" are finished. I was reading through the Beta forum archives, and one of the game developers was talking about playing in the Emerald Dream instance. I think Blizzard is releasing content on a time table. But hey. . . Blizzard you have made one fine game. I just get upset when I'm in a team, doing UBRS, and there is another hunter there with Dragonstalker set and Giantstalker set gear. And I have yet to get a piece from the Beastalker set. Whoa got sidetracked there.
