Who's getting excited? I AM!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm looking foreward to Reclamation with the fevered anticipation of most Star Wars fans before the release of Episode III.

Where Underlight excelled in pioneering the way for a completely RP based game for so many years, Reclamation seems to be taking up the slack of the new graphics, technology, and game dynamics that make MMORPG's as adictive as narcotics. Not only does Reclamation feature the abilities and finely balanced characteristics of other, larger marketed products like Final Fantasy XI Online, Everquest, and World of Warcraft; it incorporates an entirely different aspect that none of those games have: a changing story that is player dependant! Players, old and new, can embark on the same adventures instead of boring NPC quests and a non-changing storyline.

I don't think there's any question that this game is going to be a success, and I'd be willing to bet it will pave the road for other RP based games as well.

I've seen some pics, and I think above all else, I'm looking foreward to exploring the world planes with top of the line graphics and 3D effects. Not to mention, the new guild house system and war scenarios are genius.

I'm curious to hear about what other people think so far. From the perspective of previous UL players, and perhaps some people who have never been in an RP intensive game, what are your opinions? Are you drooling as much as me?

I honestly have been looking for a pure rp game for some time now. Most massive multiplayer games have let me down severely as there was very little focus on roleplaying and more on hunting and killing things. When I first started to play UL I was greatly impressed with the fact that rp was the foremost event.

I'll be pleased if Reclamation delivers in this regard - I've cancelled all my accounts at the moment and i'm sticking to VtM roleplay at the moment just to get my rp "fix". Summer is coming and I'm more than likely going to be doing quite a few other pursuits and thus won't have a whole lot of time left to play online games, but when I get the itch to be someone else for a while that doesn't involve me just killing things repeatedly or getting ganked, I think Reclamation will certainly fit the bill.

I've never really cared about graphics or anything like that, I'd probably be satisfied if characters were running around as stick figures .

But I'm looking forward to Rec, and hope it comes around before I don't have anymore time to play games and hang out on the computer like a bored college student.

Definately Voxaroth. Underlight is crack for roleplay junkies like us, and I miss the 'old days' of the first years of UL when the dream population was high, and am tired of talking about them. With a new reason to surge populance into the Underlight universe, along with a really cool looking game engine, lots new features, a seasoned GM staff, seasoned beginning players (all of us UL players will surely be big time roleplay guides to total new folks when this is released), and the chance for everyone just to start from scratch with new characters again, I definately can't wait.
