I played it durring those three days it was free. I was sort of dissapointed by alot of aspects. I wish there was more character customation wiht the head. Alot of people end up looking the same. I like that you can sort of choose your clothing as you play.

Setting up teams was a pain in the ass. One the map, there are hotspots that you can teleport to. gold ones are towns, and silver ones are quests. There is only one quest per location, and it didnt look like alot of locations would fit. Id say about 50.

The missions are actually pretty fun tho. Alot of the time, its a pain in the ass to figure out where to go, but assuming you dot get lost, exploring the area is nice. The way they do it, is each of those locations have a quest that has you explore the surrounding areas. Once you go into the quest, you no longer run into other player characters not on your team.

However, the way of finding team mates is the most retarded thing Ive ever seen. Unless i didnt understand something, the only way you could join a team was to run up to every person in that mission area and invite them to your team. everyone. then you just hope you get 5 people, cuz the mission is impossible to solo. Often, alot of people were AFK, and that only added to the frustration.

The combat sort of feels like Warcraft 3 in a different perspective. You click a monster, and hit space bar once to start attacking it. while you're doing that, you have 6 skills you can use at any time. If you cast a spell or a skill, then once its done, your character automtically goes back to attacking.
I thought it was pretty fun. The skills are fun to use, mostly.

Overall, I wouldnt feel confortable paying anythihng more than 5$ a month on it. It was fun, but i could see alot of problems with it. Then, i found out that its going to be like Battlenet, and let you play online for free. Youjust have to buy the game, and youre ready to play online with no credit cards or hassels.

Thats got me wondering if i should or not. Anyone else interested in playing if i do? I hate MMORPGs when i dont know anyone.
