He is playing the North American Alpha version, one of the lucky few that got a key to play it.

If u want to play that much, why dont you buy a key from epicnpc? 

10 bucks is not alot, and for these money i can play enough to get the impression if i want to buy the full game or not. 

Edit : 1 thing though, the controls just feels wierd. When you're used to the "press (x) to do this ability". I dont know if you know what im talking about, but in this game, theres all kinds of wierd shortcuts.

You can hold left/right/up/down (w,a,s,d) and press the mouse, and you all do different spells.

I dont know if its even possible to do it the oldschool way?

I think it is possible but you'd be limited to what's on your hotbar.

But you'd also be missing out on part of what makes the combat system so cool and unique- the fact that you do different moves based on the combination of keys you press.

Actualy you find out quickly that even though there is theoreticaly a way to play by presing number keys and activating the hotbar, you basicly get only a fracture of your fighting capabilities. Its a diferent system, not necessarily bad, just different. You have combos and a way to attack in almost any situation you get in fight (any way you move and/or dodge), so its quite responsive and situational. I dont think they manage to make a system they planed tho, as it quite often turns into more chaotic combat. Thats my first imprerssion on the system, im only lvl 25 and its beta, so the general impresion could change. But the system is quite thoroughly difrent from most MMOs i played so far (or what you called the oldschool).
