When I first heard the name, I thought "couldn't they have came up with a better title?" The name aside, let's look at the features I thought were interesting.
Straight skill based system instead of a class based system. This is something they made me love UO when I played it.
The territory system with feudal lords. A definitely interesting way in evolving a clan based system. This is also helpful for those who like both PvP and RP.
Now to the things that sounded like all the rest of the MMORPGs.
Character customization. I know people don't like to look like all the other players out there, but seems like every game is pushing this as one of their strong points, which isn't because all of the other games promising the same thing.
Quest-based system. Doesn't matter if there are over 200 quest-based missions for players to complete if they aren't dynamic. I don't want to do a quest that someone else has already done. It's not unique to me. And why tote this as a feature if you are already promising "a highly evolved, fully 3D war game which is controlled by the players themselves?" Sounds like they are getting in the rut of trying to please everyone by pleasing the PvE'rs with quests and PvP'rs with battles. Sounds like two seperate games.
Advanced 3D weather/environment effects. Yes, people like beautiful sceneries in game and sometimes that can give you that escape that games are suppose to provide. But once again, I have heard this from many other MMORPGs.
They have already claimed they have the best battle system of any other MMORPG to date. That's a big claim. Watching the videos do impress you a little, but still, that's a big claim.
So, what are your thoughts out there?

i really have to say that i'm kinda desperate to get into the beta ( and i really envy Dalmar
) it's the best combat system i have ever seen, i have seen you can dodge the hits just moving back... and that's make the game completely different from other mmos...
the problem will be.. how does that "Dodging probability" will be at the PvP system with the Lag?

Actually it's a bit more involved than the normal mmorpg controls. It's actually alot like FPS controls. (If you choose that control setup, can switch between a FPS setup and a "typical mmorpg" setup by hitting Escape). In the FPS setup you move with the WASD keys (W forward, S back, A strafe left, D strafe right) and the mouse is your turning/looking/aiming. Left mouse button is regular attacks, right mouse button is special attacks, which ever one you have queued up. Hotbars work a little differently, instead of pressing the number and that effect happening, when you press the number, it selects that as your active special ability and your right mouse button activates it. So if you're an Archer and say you have Bullseye on #1, Multishot on #2 etc, pressing 1 sets Bullseye as active and the right mouse button will fire a Bullseye shot. And you actually have a crosshair in FPS mode and have to aim your attacks with it. It is overall pretty fun and adds a bit of skill into mmorpg combat.

I playing and paying for the RYL Taiwan Version cos I can read and understand chinese.
And I must say I agree with Kunoe, its the most involving mmorpg I have played so far, even bypassing Lineage 2 in terms of combat. It has been fun so far and i feel im not wasting my money at all.
Nevermind those boring quests and clan wars, You take them all apart and you still get a solid good game, just simply becasue of the outstanding combat system. Imagine jumping away from the enemy when u are in low health or doing a quick strafe to avoid the enemy's attack. These are really innovative features i felt that makes this game so unique and more reflex based.
The only thing Im hoping for is more content and interesting quests. Other than that I feel its the best so far of the current drop of MMORPGs.
And for those who love to get cool item drops, i feel the game's wide range of weapons should satisfy your hunger. Jus try and get in Phase 2 and play ad you wil know what i mean.
Well according to the website this version of the game has a new revamped quest system with over 200 quests. Also a new territorial conquest system, and then there's the whoe Racial War thing, humand vs demons. Seems like a decent amount of stuff to do other than killing 50 million of the same mob for the next level.

First, when I saw the name '' Risk Your Life, '' my first reaction was : [sarcasm]oh what a super-original name ![/sarcasm]
but when I saw the videos, (I downloaded all of them, even the 1.10 gig one ), when I read the features of this game on many websites, I couldn't beleive it. It was my vision of a perfect MMORPG
The combat effects are amazing, the gameplay looks very nice ( mostly with that fps thingy ) amd it looks very immersive
I really think that this game has a lot of potential
I played countless of MMORPG, and I'm pretty sure this one will be my favorite one
I downloaded the big video too but can't view get the error:
The program you are trying to run requires a current Indeo codec.
To obtain a current driver that is compatible with this version of Windows, please contact the manufacturer at http://indeo.ligos.com.
needless to say if you go to that site they want money! I'm definitely not paying for it, wondering if anyone knows any alternatives for viewing this?
Anyone, anyone? 
mmm well I don't have any special codecs, exept DIVX and TSCC
divx can be found free on www.divx.com
and TSCC is a codec for Camtasia, I don't really think that you need that codec. But you still can try it, you can dowload that codec on http://www.getafile.com/cgi-bin/merlot/get/techsmith/TSCC.exe
divx 2.5.3? I thought they were up at like 5.0 or something now. Try downloading the latest version of divx off of their site.
My opinion doesn't matter anyway.
It is pathos we lack, and this lack of pathos makes the worlds we explore quite stale.

I've played through the taiwan beta for a little while and am finding the game very promising. It gives a new feel and style. The game is looking nicely visually and has much more involved of a combat system than most anything i've played untill now. It also contains many aspects of previous popular mmorpg's that will help bring in its appeal such as Asherons Call and Diablo style games. Am curious to see how well character development plays out, but still seems balanced enough to rely more on combat skill than just having the best stuff or a god template. Very excited to get into beta and wait for release of RYL.
i cant get into game
i downloaded the client and patched it and everything but i cant play how bout u guys
