I hope it has a real MMO feel to it.

[Lucifus]

Hellz ya. That looks really tight. Agreed LaZie. Hope its free.:rolleyes:

[Archangel]

Yep me and a couple of friends are thinking of playing this when the beta gets out.

Any news when it will on Europe?

[Xelbair]

I want to play it! also they said something about typical mmo quests, that they won't be in this game, it wont be just kill x mobs, bring x items back etc.... at least that is what they are saying

[animus]

Looks like a higher-res Lineage 2 clone, ie the typical Korean MMO grind fest.

[Xelbair]

Well, true - Lineage 2 was awful, grind and grind forever, but maybe this time they don't mess up.(yeah i still have some hope in humanity left)

[Archangel]

Anyone got this already?

[KrayZ33]

at the moment "highlevel-content" means 7-8 hours pure grinding for a level-up
oh and you'll lose xp when you die.

I have this. I have a level 22 Ranger, but stopped playing like 2-3 weeks ago because it's just boring as fuck. There's a ton of grinding when you run out of quests (which will be often). I wouldn't mind the levelling as much but it's just really boring.

Yeah this game feels a lot like FFXI with a new skin. Some basic mechanic is different etc etc, but it essentially boil down to an endless grind fest.
