The good the bad and the ugly
The game has severe lag issues, botting and gold sellers. It is geared towards PK and has what can be described as the worse PK system I ever saw in a game. The penalties are short and the only reward is to feel you lorded it over a noobie. Anyone can be killed at any time and that can be inconvenient when you spend 20 minutes getting to an area just to have people shouting at you in a diverse set of languages ranging from Latotian, Korean, Czech, distorted 'ghetto' english and what we thought was a dialect from a pacific island tribe.
Gold sellers have infested the game also. if you do a simple calculation it would appear that several hundred players try the game and leave after being repeatedly PK'd by high levels. Change maps? Sure and in a couple of hours (or minutes) the PK cycle begins. Only level 20 and the attacker is 5 players over 40? Too bad nub.
There is no logic to the PK system and many PK'rs have indicated that killing the same people over and over is simply GOOD game play. There are no GM punishments for stalking someone and killing them over and over, either. Some classes can successfully PK at will and even at nearly lvl 50 a decently equipped player cannot even LIFT a finger to them. One class dominates the PK field and selects easy targets frequently. AFK leveling has been happening for some time and the players who do that are among the top level names.
Apparently targeting certain PK players is impossible and I mean EVER, you cannot touch them. Looks like an exploit to me...yeah I am talking about a level 48 or 50 player being killed by a level 35. Good gosh!
The game has a Massive balance problem and zero story line. The quests are often bugged and sometimes using skill points has no effect other than to waste the points. Thats also annoying. So if you have a lot of cash to spend on items duped or on gold harvested by Bot and like to PK just for fun or to die every few hours randomly and run back OVER and OVER then this is the game for you!
I personally advise waiting until the GMs and designers fine tune this lagfest and fix some of the many exploits and bugs. It looks great and has logical controls, the lack of GM intervention in problem players and exploits simply ruins what shows great promise. I predict the game either gets fixed or goes the way of the other un-original grind fests. Did I mention the community? What community?
We see a bunch of very immature players every day who obviously have the intelligence of a bacteria ridden doughnut. Yes we joined a guild and actually played together with 2 people at one time. Not bad for a guild of 20 people. Right. guilds of more than 5 players are rare in many maps and when you see them if you are alone run off because they are likely to gang up on you. Have fun running back and changing maps because there are plenty more hostile idiots out to have fun at YOUR expense. Wahoo! This game makes other games seem better in some ways, good quests, different appearances, selecting gender, various items and crafting. PK has it's place in a game but a total free for all may not be everyone's idea of a MMO game. Maybe you can imagine your a honest player and happen to get killed every few hours (or less) while little brown streaked shorts billy and jane dance on your body...
Since open beta I have seen so many players hit 40 or so and walk off. This is like legend of mir on crack.

Sure bugs will be fixed ... one day , when gamehi will decide to fix them ... as for the so waited "new features" promised by Dave Perry :
Why do you dislike GameHi so much? I'm sure that they will try and fix the bugs....what makes you think that they will not? Any examples in other games? Oh, and how do you know that GameHI is running the show?
nunez i think you should just face the facts the game is awful regardless of who is running the show plus no one remebers these things when the company comes out with a good game. this is just the world we live in right now, stop sucking up on game his behalf because half the people reading this don't care enough to even remember it let alone leave a comment

Well that is all your opinion. I happen to actually like this game...along with over 100,000 players in the game. Liking a game and not liking a game..is mere opinion. Saying that this game is horrible is not a fact, and never will be, and if you do not understand that fact...than I'm sorry I wasted my time posting this.
100,000 players ?
Lol i registered myself 2 accounts and stopped playing this crappy dekaron adaptation ! And i think i'm not the only one , anyway sro had something like 300k reg'ed ppl at OB launch .... we all know what happened next ... bots, spammers , hacks and more ...
Welcome to the real world Nunez1212
Do not act like I do now know of the real world. I know exactly how all of this works, but I think that you are being a little to harsh on the game. It just came out in OB and your already bashing it as if it's been released and out for a year. Give them some time, if in a year it's still messed up with botters and such...than you can make a valid arguement. Oh, and you still have not explained to me or given any evidence of how you know that GameHI is running the show.
I agree that the game is "open beta" but pointing out the issues is simply good player reportng, or at least - it should be.
At level 50 I decided it was time to make my personal observations on the state of the beta.
The good news is that the VGM's are now going after grief players and banning them or otherwise inflicting punishment. One GM told me in game that the best way to do screenies is to use a second party program as F 12 is not very high quality.
A simple fix for the open PK system will be to have a "select PK option" or perhaps a longer red name period...Some complaints are coming in about PKr's being in prison longer than just an hour or two so perhaps the PK system will eventually reduce grief play. I get PK attacked FAR more than I get invited to open dueling.
Gold sellers have their own guild now and it is still there as of last night. Yeah, goldseller.com or some crap is their guild name.
The DC help page on the forum is now at 10 pages, as many realize, most players seldom post on the official forums so that is quite a lot.

Is there a game that has put a stop to gold farmers? imho the only reason they are coming out with free mmo's is cause they can make money in other ways such as gold farmers and or a cash shops. i havent played it in OB but did in CB and didnt notice any huge lag issues . but who knows things may have changed
I have not noticed lag at all....in OB. I have seen a few gold sellers here and there, but a lot of games have that. I have seen many p2p games also have that. The problem is...there are so many of them, it's hard to catch them all.....but "gotta catch 'em all"... Pokemon
Yea, I was kind of hoping that gold farmers would not be such a problem in a FREE game. Seriously, who the hell pays real money in a game that cost no money to play. Seems a little silly.
No lag issues at all even during peak, just hit 20 and have never witnessed pking, I'm guessing that's higher lvls but I can see how that'll be annoying once I get there.
Only thing that bothers me so far is the AFK summoners. I see them all over the damn place just chilling there while their summon/pet does all the work...apparently the xp they get is minimal...but I don't care, when you leave the computer and are still getting xp...it's cheating/exploiting.
Yes, I to get aggrivated with the AFK summoners, and this is against the rules now. You can get banned for it, and if you are afk for too long, then if you get sent back to town. You can take pictures and such, or try to get a vgm...if you can get one then you can report the afker.
