Hi, I'd really love to give this game a try before deciding on buying it. Would anyone be willing give me a buddy key? Thanks!

Why didn't you play in the open beta?
I don't have akey, because I have yet to buy the game; I am not sure that I will.
That said, if you have played WoW or EQII, the controls are very similar. The engine is the exact same one as DDO, and has all of the same problems that come with it. Some of the systems are very nice, however. The combat has many skills that work very well together, and using them skillfully and in tandem has significant benefits. There is a title system that is very cool, but I won't explain; if you care, just look up all their features on their website.
Their crafting system is very well thought out, and logical, and seems to be very good for the economy, but because of hte level cap during beta, we can't really know that yet.
The quests follow lore in a good way, and nothing contradicts the books. Players get to be powerful, but not as powerful as the heroes. It's done very tastefully.
If you like Tolkien, and the control system of WoW, but want to see a very few innovative things, I would go for it. I am undecided, because I hate that engine so very, very much.
"There are two great powers, and they've been fighting since time began. Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit."
John Parry, to his son Will; "The Subtle Knife," by Phillip Pullman
So if anyone can help me out that would be great.
I'll update this post if / when I get one.

If you'd like, I can trade you a CS:S Buddy key for it
Much luck! PM in mmorpg.com if you're interested.

Thanks in advance
But...can you continue to subscribe with your buddy key? Kinda like in WoW? Trial over, upgrade it online, without having to go to the store and get the box...
I think I will give my buddy key to a friends kids. They were able to get in for Beta1 and were a lot of fun to play with. I know their Dad won't let them subscribe but I know they love the books and enjoyed the game.
