Looks to be an interesting change of pace........3500 people on a server.  Not quite Eve online, but, a bit more than most.

    I wouldn't mind going in for beta to try that game out. Looks interesting, always wanted to play a 3rd/1st person shooter MMO.

    Wow!  I wasn't too excited about this game when I first heard of it, but now it looks pretty good!  The graphics seemed pretty nice too, I like the style.

    Yep yep......I noticed the art style myself.  It is a little different.  Kinda cartoony, kinda realistic.

    Everytime I see a death animation in TA it makes me laugh.  I love whenever an enemy is shot and he flies ten feet and hits a wall :D

    It looks interesting... but I hope they're banking on PvP rather than content, because it looks like mission-based content like this would get a little stale (grind).

    The one comment that Matt Wilson made that had me going "hmmm?" was when he referred to "old-school turn-based MMOs".

    Huh? I haven't played a turn based MMO since SSI's Neverwinter Nights on AOL. Is there even a turn-based MMO still in existence today?

    Not begrudging his point, that TA will focus on action, which is great. Just think he might have overstated his comparison by using an erroneous reference.

    Fairy-land and Angel Online are turn based ( I think Angel is what i'm thinking about) and i'm sure there's others.

    I'm really looking forward to this one, i'd say the key with this type of game to get Action Gamers to play would be to have extreme action, I know a lot of games similar to this with RPG aspects have stated they were a "First Person Shooter" like gameplay or "Action" gameplay and it was a lot slower paced then they made it out to be. I'm sure if they stay true to actual shooters and action it will turn out great.
