Been answered in the articles. Read them!

He's got alot of actual gameplay in there, not company released videos. The game still seems good in those though, albeit heavily WoW inspired (in the long flight video he flies over a complete ripoff of the Barrens briefly, complete with the thorny vines and huts). This could turn out to be pretty popular in the US, actually.

Any videos yet of somebody getting eaten by those crazy big flying stingrays yet?

Steve Irwin joke inc?

But yeah, so far it's got great graphics, great animations, good smooth-looking gameplay(besides the quirks that pop up in the movies), flying combat, and seems to have managed some originality in the area of fantasy. Music is annoying, but that can be fixed easilly. I may just allow myself to become hyped about an MMO again. Hope nothing ruins it :\

It'd certainly be nice if it were targeted at N. America and Europe as much as Asia though.

Too much brown.

There are a lot of BETA videos on Youtube.

putting aside graphics, i don't understand korean's approach to making games.

The one big problem I have with this title is I feel it might turn into an FFXI. A big mish-mash of Korean and US players on one server, poor community, bad server lag from no US based servers, poor dev feedback because they don't speak English or have US based operations for it, etc. To me thats a big turn-off.

I love how in one of those vids, the mobs have no agro radius at all. They are standing 1 foot from each other and they can single pull all 5 of them one after another.

NCSoft's Lineage 2 was not like that, there are North American L2 servers. Of course there is a huge population of Chinese farmers on the NA L2 servers, but as for the real players they were mostly English speaking.

I noticed that, too. I hope that's just a Beta thing or something.

I think I read somewhere that there will be separate servers for different world locations. I'm pretty sure they will haver NA, EU and SE Asia servers.

Oh nice! You can summon pokemon as a spiritmaster. I wonder if they have an apple throwing ability, you fuck.

Draegan · 01-17-2008, 12:38 PM

If I'm thinking of the same video as you, that looked like the starting area. If that's true then there's a good chance that most mobs there won't be KoS. Think of all the WoW starting areas... nothing aggro's you on sight till about lvl 4 and you start getting a bit further from home-base.

No, he's referring to the video where they are killing in a group.

The group was single pulling mobs without any trouble at all.
