    Huley will release as a Disney Title,under a new name,all PVE :)
     

     

    haha nice one.

    Well in Korea they did open beta for months in 2008. I figured since we are will into 09 it might have been done in Korea at least, but I jumped through a ton of hoops get an account and then get to the last step only to be told, no beta anymore and nothing more.

    I think the game has been teased about since 2005. That's when it was first shown at E3. So yea, it's been almost 5 years and no definite answer when the game will be released or anything new. And the ijji site for Huxley is stupid...

     Wow what a joke. A game that was over hyped from day one falling on it's face. Seems to be the norm these days.

    yea no kidding. I hear though despite a lot of the the hate of the game the good stuff shines through, but iono what the hold up is. It seems like this game should have came out already, so it makes me think it can't make money for one reason or another and so they just won't bring it to market.

    Micro transaction is where it's at for me. I prefer it, don't know what people's beef is with F2P games, I love the good ones hate the bad ones.

    The pr0blem is there are t0 many bad 0nes 0ut there that rip pe0ple 0ff. The am0unt 0f m0ney p0eple have t0 spend t0 have a decent experience in game far exceeds the $14.99 0f a sub in 0ther MM0's and that has left a nasty taste in pe0ple m0uths.

    I never had a pr0blem with then either until this past, 0h, year and a half. The quality 0f the games just d0n't seem t0 be there yet they expect p0eple t0 spend 0ut the ass 0n m0unts, exp p0ts, and avatar cust0mizing t00ls. I understand it's a business, but m0st 0f us d0n't want t0 be given the business if y0u kn0w what I mean :)

    Presumably you can't afford to buy a keyboard with a working letter O either.  Also good to see you posting in red to highlight that your posts are more important than anyone else's.

    Back on topic, I don't have a problem with microtransactions, but I do have a very big problem with a game that uses the players' computers to host the instanced battles.

    That was very strange indeed... what's up with all the zeros? I found myself just looking for a real letter "o" instead of reading what the guy had to say. That with the red text... all I can say is WHY!!?>!?!

    yea, I'm having a bit of trouble already with games like Borderlands since it's also pier hosted. But PVE is still fun in Borderland.

  • The game looked great when we first hear about it but now I dont think its going to be anything new. Just another game to waste time with

    This sort of makes me sad.   Me and my buddies were really interested in this game when we first heard about it several years ago.   Now, to hear that it is F2P...well that pretty much puts it in the "Won't do well in America" catagory.

     

    Although, I tool around with F2P games all the time, my buddies absoulty will not play anything that is F2P.  Like I would assume that most people in America are the same way.

     

    Although, I will play a F2P game, it usually does not keep my interest very long.  And, I never spend money on them.  It is pointless.  They are a big money pit.  Which is good I guess for the Developer, in a country like Asia, where people will spend all their money in the Item Shop...this allows the developer to make lots of money with little effort.

     

    Which usually ends in a very poorly made MMO.  The content takes a back burner, and the items on the item shop get the front burner.  Being as how this is where the money is made in a game like this.

     

    So, It makes me very sad that a game that looked so interesting, has now become very "Un-Interesting" to a lot of gamers that might have been looking to try it out.

     

    I'll probably still try it out.  But like most, I probably won't try it out for very long.

     

    The only good thing about F2P games is ...well they are free to download and try out.  Effectively giving you something new to do every week!

     

    lol  ...Later folks.  That's my 2 cents.
