    Go check their Twitter. You have to redeem some code on your account to unlock the free access. Game is kinda bleh though.

    Gave it a shot, played for about an hour. There wasn't a single thing that drew me into the game. Incredibly boring, very generic. Just another survival game with crap graphics and an art style that is hilariously standard. No reason this game should exist when there are things like Albion, Runescape, etc. It doesn't do anything particularly well.

    I like to complain about games.

    I wanna try it and see, but nothing on Steam yet.  Now at days, I like my games in one place as much as possible.  I'll go elsewhere if there is something I truly want, otherwise steam.  I hate having 1k different places to have to get games.

    I tried it a few months back and now again. It is a niche game but also a really relaxing one. It feels old school and i really like the ideas they have. It is sandbox so propably most MMORPG players don't know what to do in the game.
    For me, tonight i want to go check out southern beach and find special mobs to unlock a special skill i want. I want to build a battlemage with melee and magic on medium armor. I found that interesting and now i'm making my way to that goal.
    I have to level my DK for wotlk release but right now this game is more interesting. Keep in mind it is a indie dev team and give it a shot.
    *First test few months back i uninstalled after 1 hour because i hastily condemned it as bad. The combat is actually pretty nice - i dig it more than Lost Arks or Albions.

    Yeah, it's definitely a older generation type game. It won't hold your hand, that's for sure. To be honest, it's what I grew up on but not sure it's what I'm looking for now...

    I just have a bit of an issue with the angle, the top down and the click to move but I like how it does not hold your hand as you say.

    Yeah that's kinda my issue too. I like the top down, but the camera position just doesn't feel right for some reason. Maybe it needs to be more zoomed out or something, I'm not sure.

    It would've been good if it was made like old school Korean MMORPGs like Lineage 2, Silkroad Online, TwelveSky 2, Metin2, 9 Dragons and others were you had 360° camera freedom, but the movement was strictly click-to-move and you could enjoy the scenery, look at the sky, the horizon, etc.

    But a locked top-down when the game is fully 3D and an MMORPG at that, not just a Diablo clone like Path of Exile or Grim Dawn or Titan Quest where it's all about action combat and you need the camera locked so that you can get the best visibility on your enemies, it's also not making much sense. I'm guessing if you can hack into the camera and could give it 360° freedom, you will find out that there isn't even a skybox in the game, probably just blackness.

    IDK, I don't want to hate on that game anymore as I've already did that a lot, but it's just more and more lazy game design for this game, first just asset packs put together, then no content or gameplay, then locked top down camera so they don't have to buy an asset pack for a sky.

    I uninstalled as I had it freeze. May check it out at a later date.

    I made the HORRIBLE mistake of buying into the closed beta for this a few months ago. I have never regretted a purchase as much as I did this one. This game simply has no future, and I'm not sure it'll even make it to launch before being canceled. The combat is the worst combat in any mmo "EVER". I'm not even remotely exaggerating here, it's the most boring and repetitive thing I've seen to date. Don't believe me? Go try it right now, you'll be back to agree with me shortly.

    To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.
