INteresting screenies, i like the last one. To everyone complaining about graphic engine: dont expect anything bettter than what you see, the game engine is pretty much dated, but hopefully gameplay will compensate for it. Still have good hopes for this game.
How do you lose subs when you don't have any to begin with?
Seriously... people need to calm down. If someone refuses to play a game because of delays or lack of info during development thats just sad. Now when its in OBT and near release and we can't get decent info, then you can cry foul.
Personally though, I feel all serious indie MMO sandbox titles should offer free trials. They can't rely on millions in ads to pump up initial box sales and typically people are more wary of them to begin with. MO actually had the right idea with opening beta to everyone, Perpetuum seems to be sneding beta keys to anyone interested. If the games in working condition and fun, having an open beta will result in good word of mouth and essentially free advertising. If not, then you get a lot of cancelled pre-orders. Eitherway, let your product speak for itself.
