    Anyone seen the adds for this game? it looks like somone has taken the tropes of fantasy and scifi and given it the terry pratchet touch to make it into an MMORPG. i really like the look of it, the races look interesting and the different paths you can take to decide what you want to do look interesting too. does anyone know if it has a release date yet?

    I have been following it form the start. It's a cute little game. I think I might end up liking or hating the path system. The idea is gold, but I am worried that the execution isn't going to follow through on the idea.

    yeah, i might check the beta testing videos on youtube, they should give an early idea on what its like. would be a shame if its another mmo that doesnt deliver what it advertises.

    I am really hoping that the settler path lets you play the game as a social class. After WoW, many mmos have had a hard time maintaining their social ecosystem.

    see im interested in the settler path too: fighting, looting and exploring have all been done so many times i want to see how this fits into an mmo. what race would you bee? it would be interesting to see if your race determines what the structures you build look like. i think id be a chua spellshooter or mechari engineer.

    I was thinking maybe I'd play an Aurin esper because I like their tails. A Chua engineer could be fun too. I have to agree about fighting. It is so bloody common in mmos. Well mmos these days. A lot of older mmos would put a lot of effort into non combat content. SWG had most of it's classes as non combat classes. You tend not to see mmos like that made now a days. They are oddly enough becoming more and more combat focused with faster more intense combat. It's not the best direction I think. Part of why I was De-hyped in wildstar was the realization they where going to do nothing to buck or reverse the trend.

    I could talk for hours and hours about mmos in general. They are the most perplexing genre of games.

    Been following the dev talks for a while, nice to see they've got a good sense of humour!
    Aside from that I've been waiting for a possible beta invite but to no avail, hope to give it a try but I don't know many others that would hook up to play it too.
