Another Korean Grinder?

Maxm

is this game another long grind or does it have something new to offer besides the setting. I like the setting and it looks awesome when i see the trailers but what does it bring to the table that inst available elsewhere?

I'd like to give it a try when its out in english is its not another long winded leveling treadmill.. thats just getting old, its so 1999.

It actually has a leveling curve very close to World of Warcraft.  Also, it is quest driven like GW.  I think the biggest thing it has to offer that no other MMO does is the fact that you can control 3 characters at once.

GW has the Hero system, but with Sword you can actually get behind the wheels of one or all 3 characters and control everything they do.  It also has a very intelligent AI, if you don't like to micro-manage.

There is also Faction Wars were you can take control of a zone and get buffs for having it.  As well as cool PvP rankings and no need for healers.  NO MORE WAITING FOR A HEALER TO RUN AN INSTANCE!!!

Ok... I am a 'little' excited about this title. hehe.  You should check out the website.  Its hotness!  www.swordofthenewworld.com

Have you played the game?  And will the quests be tag teamable, where you can finish them with your allies like in diablo 2.

There are quests that you can do with a squad (its their term for group).  There are also 'instances' that you can do with a group.  Basically yes.  But the way this game handles quests is different from the way other games do it.  Their quests are more like GW's quests.
