Okay Guys Here Is My Review it will be a bit long
Gameplay: As you start pshh posh you are starting like any other game you enter into the game at the beginning having to go do your first quest, but you dont realize that unless you look around your interface to annoying quest pop-ups, you then will have a ping on your map for eternity until you to do where you need to be, next you will go into a boring walk to the guard who will continue you on, to give you guys a tip if you play this game dont bother with the start you can get to level 5 grinding in less than 15 minutes and not have to deal with any of the stupid beginning stuff. Next you will enter into an on-going 5 hour walk everywhere, yes the game is new and buggy but come on, speed is one thing in MMO's that irritates most people, if a character can't run or catch a monster you will despise that character, the speed buff itself seems to have little to no effect until well on its way to maxxed out. The overall movement uses keyboard or click method and follows a very intriquing hack and slash attacking, and even a right click spell system which ends up not as good as you would like requiring you to select that spell then right click each time. Their is the hotbar of course. (Have to cut this short way to much)
Gameplay 6 out of 10
Graphics: With an open beta I never compare to any games that are p2p, but you must always take in the fact some games are horrible to somewhat decent, this game has a very fancy log in screen, and loading screens are pretty, the issue is in game seems clippy and the armor models and movement, is smooth, there is NO VARIETY, armors are set, weapons are set, hats, boots, gloves all do not show up, its ok the armors are cool and so are the weapons but some people need customization
Graphics 4.5 out of 10
Quests: The quest system I have to say was not that bad, following the system of directing you too each individual person you need, with a giant arrow that is self explanatory, you will also find that all quests are relatively easy, unless you dont know where the monsters arre already, because think of it this way, for one quest say you kill a pig, not a hungry pig or wild pig or blue pig or yellow pig, just a pig, they may spawn many places but only when something else didnt spawn in its spot, the game works of set spawn points that follow the path of say spawn point A can spawn a lvl 1,2 and 3 so that means any variety of that will spawn, this makes questing extremely difficult but the most rewarding system you will find in free games.
Quests 8 out of 10
Combat: Hello fun for 5 minutes, this game will enter you into the game by making you kill each mob by smashing the spacebar, click your brains out or auto attack, the fun part is that mobs come in packs of 3's and your attacks can hit infinite amount of monsters around you, so you could pull 500 mobs, chances are you wont and your move will attack anything in its way, this also adds into the fact that 50% of the skills are AOE, or atleast 2-3 mob hits, the skills seem overpowered until you realize they barely increase in power each level, which brings in the point of how each 1/4 of a level you will get one status point to increase str, agi stuff like that or be able to increase then after level 5 you will get talent point or skill point to get one more level in a skill, Overall combat works out with cool effects but nothing to go crazy about, the boss like creatures are over powered and too hard for their levels, and have a very far taunt distance.
Combat 7 out of 10
Overall I give this game a grade of 6 out of 10, reasons are bugs galore which is seen often in new games and open betas and are their to fix them, the graphics are nice for a bit but tend too get very boring, the overall gaemplay is sluggish and random, since you cant walk through a single monster or bush or anything. This game will provide you with I must say a few days of fun I have been playing since the opening and have reached level 29 and I have found the game will increase in its fun dramatically once you breach the 20th level, and you will find everything is more fun once you can actually kill monsters at a good pace. Welcome to the game not of your dreams but of your need from MMO withdrawal, I highly reccomend trying this game for atleast a day or so, if you need tips or a guide, I will post one but I only made this as a review, please do not burn, as I do not care lol, thank if you want but this is what I figured out, btw I was in top 10 for nearly all of last night then i lost power, but once I am back up there I will come brag more.

you probably only played the first 10 levels or so ? Because your review contains alot of untruthness
I played every character to level 20, he is right so far. But.. you should take the time to shed some light on those who havent, instead of saying he is wrong and putting up that silly emote.

yea he is right, what Havent i specified, sure there are different addons that make the game a bit different at 25, but I am trying to give a review as far as most people will play this game, who cares about the horses, and marriage, its more of the basic game not the additional little things. Sorry but if you want to say anything tell me what it is I said wrong id be glad to add another section called Level 10 and above gameplay.
I agree with your review, this game is good for a day or two but you didnt mention that we had alot of buffs since it was cb like 2x xp 2x drop rate etc... Also you have to remember that this game has been out for many countries for some time and they all have the same bugs that they never fix like most free asian mmo(except the really popular ones sro,flyff,...) so you cant really say since its "new" you should expect bugs. But good review agree 100%
Nice review at least you tried mine would have just been: "It sucks. it sucks. it sucks. it sucks. ect." By the way nice sig how did you make that? It looks like you fused 2 halves of the same character wearing different armor.. probably not that hard if it was a still frame but then you made it animated and you got both sides to sync perfectly.
Actually I made a similar post on the official Metin 2 forum in the community center, I'll just copy and paste to save time.
Overall Rating
Edit: I finally did a full review.
Ok, since you guys did full reviews I'm going to do my own based on MMORPG.com's rating system so here it goes.
Community: 3/10 However this is a closed beta this is still part of the grading scale, the players seam not to talk much and I get no response when I ask a question in game, I had to leave the game itself to seek help on the forum to figure out what I was doing.
Customer Service: 0/10 The customer service for this game is awful, you need a beta account to contact a gm with the form and if you didn't receive your beta code like you should of you could not contact a gm, the GM's forum PM's are off and i rarely see them post, I would much rather have CCP staff messing around with my account with good customer support than no customer support at all.
Fun: 4/10 I really didn't enjoy myself in the game and the game was unsuited to my style of play, I really couldn't see anyone from the other MMORPG's I play enjoying this game either.
Graphics: 5/10 However the company has tried to make the graphics more realistic and not carton graphics they are still pretty bad, compared to other games like FlyFF or Perfect World the quality here just doesn't stack up, the whole direction, consistency, theme and animation is pretty bad but on the other hand it could be worse.
Performance / Lag: 8/10 This is where the game has a good point, but since this is closed beta it is yet to be seen if there is this little lag in the final release.
Role Playing: 2/10 However this is a closed beta the community here seams to be less conductive to in-character actions, and there is little player generated role playing, the game mechanics are also lacking in role playing elements such as emotes and greater character customization.
Sound: 2/10 This is an interesting category as the sounds are a mixed feelings for me, however lifelike the sounds are it sounds like the GM's went out and beat dogs to death to make the sound better, maybe the sounds are a little to lifelike.
Value: 7/10 Since the game is free unless you buy items from the item mall the game scores high here even thought I generally don't enjoy it, the value is determined by good the game is next to how much it costs. (A boring martial arts fighting game that costs $15 to download and $9 a month will score lower than a more boring and less solid free martial arts fighting game.)
Overall the game gets a 4 out of 10 which means it is absolutely terrible, maybe even unplayable based on the MMORPG.com scale, the rest of the scale is,
