    Thoughts so far?

    I love it, will definitely be pre-ordering this one, even though it probably won't have a big AK presence. I won't be able to play full time, but I'll be playing on days I don't have WoW-commitments.

    Ill be playing it when it comes out... for how long though I dont know, will probably depend on how many AK folks join in.

    I wont say its better than WoW but it is different and thats what I am looking for. I played a Ranger up to about lvl 11 so far story line as well as game play is decent. I havnt had a chance to do any PVP so no thoughts there but it does have PVP so thats a bonus.

    Im uploading some SS now and ill post them soon.

    Kind of a deal breaker for me think it's a huge mistake on their part to say that they are going to charge people different rates depending on how much or little you play. They will never get a lot of folks to switch from games like wow to this if they are going to have to pay 2-3 times as much. Too bad looks great but not even worth a look to me with pricing like that.

    I looked into this, and it seems to me that the pricing is going to end up being about the same as WoW, just with time limits that are not very constrictive.

    1-month card: 19,800 won (approximately 13.7 USD*), 300 hours for 30 days

    3-month card: 47,520 won (approximately 32.9 USD), 900 hours for 90 days

    3-hour card: 3000 won, (approximately 2 USD)

    30-hour card: 12,000 won ((approximately 8.3 USD)

    Basically about $14 for 300 hours in 1 month. That's 10 hours a day, every day. I doubt I would ever go over that.

    I think its a Korean thing ( I get a message that comes up at 3 hours of game play and says, "You have been playing for three hours, please log off for you health."

    As well I think its a tactic to stop gold farmers and bots.

    Edit: Alsowhen I prepurchased I think I rember signing up for a monthly sub. $14.95 for 1 month no hour limitation that I remember reading.

    It doesn't cost anymore to play then WoW unless you are a 10-hr a day, 7-day a week player. then pricing can be a factor. I see it as a fair pricing system.

    I'm in if you guys are still playing in December. I see no time until then and Santa would have to buy me a computer capable of playing games again since I gave away my old gaming machine.
    So basically it will have to have a strong AK presence before I'll bite.

    Not so much like WoW, but a bit more of a Guild Wars feel. Overall it has a very comfortable feel to it.
    Keyboard commands don't make complete logical sense to me, but then again I've been playing WoW for almost 5yrs so I have those buttons burnt into my brain.
    Class expansion and items are very cool and it's a refreshing way to get to a point and then groom your character into the path you want it to be in. The flying and gliding is a refreshing way to get away from the ground/air mount conundrum.
    Looking at some of the retail 1.5 game press data, there are 19 instance areas that are either being improved or added to the game. There are about 1000 more quests throughout the game, and there are some updates to PVP and Arena type play. This version of the game will be much more robust then the currently released Korean version of the game.

    Beaker, I'll still be playing in December, I'm certain of it.

    Well the servers just went down and all I have to say is "Darn! I'm impressed!!" I will definitely be playing this come September and I'm sooo ready to get started.

    Yeah, I was playing a Scout on a different server and was kicked also. It's sad to see the beta event end. I am having such a great time playing. I am also very excited for the full launch of the game. We are going to have a blast playing!

    I'm in the same boat (except for this past weekend when the hubby watched the baby) and it's refreshing!
