Like to remind you guys there a NDA still in place so you probaly wont get much info on the game if you ask. I would like to share but i cant do so yet.

Yep you can only talk about what they have disclosed already...and they have certainly disclosed that there is Pk'ing and a permadeath possibility lol.  Hence the watch your buttocks.

If anyone wants to know more about Wizardry Online youtube it. The Japanese verison has been out for atleast a year now.

None. This game is super hardcore. WoW is super easy mode.

 

I would love to tell you more. But NDA. I will say this, since 4 of my buddies and I started playing this one, we have not stopped. That's how fun and challenging it is.

Well yeah, I got that it was hardcore, I was more concerned with... does it have the WoW UI, WoW quest grinding scheme, WoW item system, like almost MMOs have had these past 8 years?

 

Glad to hear its hardcore!

My concern quite frankly is the game description or video (I forget) makes a point of saying you will almost guarantee need a group to survive dungeons.

Well that's great at release but once the population starts to decline because carebears run away or the game was not what people expected, there will be not enough groups to make the game enjoyable or survivable (with groups of murdered wandering the wilds).

I hope to get in the game when it releases and grief people in the first dungeon for kicks though. I've never done it but even if I lose and die, I think it would be a fun story

its has more the old school Everquest UI/Questing/Item scheme. I compare it more to EQ than WoW.
