    as far as i can tell, you'll have to buy the game in order to actually play since they dont offer any trials.



    i must say, i did Beta the game and it seemed fun then (laggy but fun) and the concept is nice



    plus its only 30-40$ for an MMO that should have a good year or 2 left in its cycle. Not too bad really.

    it's not "as" bad as beta, back then they were going to give you a monthly fee AND a store in game so you can buy items (everyone remember that) jeez luckily that didn't work.

    Worst thing - clones,  character customisation when you create is non-existent, i think it's like "hair 1, hair 2, hair 16 or hair 18" obviously they weren't finished making it.

    Forget about using your arrow keys to move (actually movement is the WORST in this game, too fiddly), forget about changing any real aspect of the game in the menu. If you want something that's free to play with "a little fun" try this. But really you'll try it and go "aRGHHH why why did i let my brain go through so much pain"

    The collision and bugs will make you pull your hair out... not as much as vanguard but it's quite close ;)

    Probably why you can actually get a key through this and play it...

    amazingly a month downloading games and playing them, is slightly more expensive (£12.95) than Archlord (£9.99 or $20) itself brand new :-p

    and yes, if you find a client to download or a friend who already has it, if you cancel this service... your key still works. amusing.

    When they say it's F2P, they mean it doesn't have the monthly fee that most MMOs do.  Guild Wars is also another, albeit, more successful example of this model.



    Fear not, for I have a solution to your conundrum.  You can get a free 10-day trial here: http://www.archlordgame.com/tokyopop.php.  You'll get a bonus item too.



    Don't say I never did anything for you.

    At first the game did have monthly fees, but they decided to drop the fees due to lack of population which I like.
