Lets wait for an actual gameplay "hands on" review - yeah lets wait and see what happens when marketing hype meets reality.

On paper just about every game is "amazing" 

While I agree it doesn't mean we can't like what we hear. I know a few titles that hope this is just a marketing brochure!

I personally would love this to be a reality. Best part for me would be a large open sandbox that has seperate ruleset servers like they plan for. No need to hold back PvP or PvE. It's a smart move.

I am looking forward for that MMORPG. Been waiting for a while now... hope it will be out before I die...

Definitely a "wait and see".  I hope they keep this music from the first version though, it's really catchy:

Again I am waiting for 3rd party "hands on" reviews before I buy into any of this hype.

Buying and hoping are two seperate things. While I won't actually purchase anything I will get excited at the prospect. That's free

I am sick and tired of released buggy messes of MMO's, so I just wait for them to prove me wrong while I expect another crappy game.

If I have learned nothing else since 2008, it is this.

I doubt it, the concept is the same but the lore is totally different .I dont even think the classes are the same or the name of the cities. 

Isn't that the settlers dragon mount. 

Kyleran

The action combat might be a turn off for me if it is too "busy", but definitely a title I'm keeping watch on.

Rattenmann

Most of those features are exactly what i don't want to see in my MMOs, so definitly not what i am waiting for. Also: Meaningless buzz words never helped a game,... oh who am i lying to. They always help, bah.

The game has been in dev for over 10 years - call me skeptical, but anything that's been a charlie foxtrot dev hell of this magnitude turning out well, I am just not buying it.

If it happens - it would be a first.

Snail games hasn't exactly proven to me to be capable of pulling this off, I hope they do, as I'd be playing this in a heartbeat  - just after AoW their games have been pretty disappointing to me.

Again I am waiting for 3rd party "hands on" reviews before I buy into any of this hype.

ALtho i agree on Snail games needing to "Show me" , it hasnt been in development for over 10 years , i beileve they scrapped everything in 2012 and built a entire new engine ,assets, etc .. only keeping the same spirit in mind .....I was a Settler of the orginal and played it for the 2 years it was availble and am looking forward to what SNail can do with the IP (Looks Great so far) Hopefully they dont screw this up with a terrible Cash SHop.....

Mitara

Almost like SotA.. just.... well.. that didnt pan out well at all

This is the thing, people like to comment when they dont actually know the facts. 

Snail Games aquire the rights to have the original game played in China in 2007. They even changed the name to Savage Horizon hense my forum name. 


They first showed the updated game at chinajoy 2011/12 and then they decided to redo the engine hense why we haven't heard anything up until now. 


This recent versión the game has been in development since 2012ish so four years.

Don't we already have 10s of awful sandbox MMORPGs?  Do we need another?  People aren't exactly playing those other games...

Not sure which games you are referring to but I don't see many that are like Dark and Light. At least superficially, we'll have to see how the combat is, exploration, etc.

Not until we get a good one that isn't ruined by the cash shop, damnit.

Darkfall was pretty good and wasn't ruined by the cash shop. But I feel like no matter what everyone of these games is going to have some flaw that ruins it for people.

Hopefully they will have some method of accountability or optional PvP.  Right by might doesn't work in infinite respawn in games for most players.

They plan to have different servers entirely which is a great thing IMO.

There are pvp servers and pve servers.

Dakeru

Oh look it's the next game in line that may be exactly what we are waiting for.

Aeander

You know what? I'm happy where I am. But if the price is right and the early reviews are positive, I'll try it.

I don't think anyone should ever approach a game like that. I don't believe there are many "exactly's" out there. Too many people have this perfect vision of what they want but the only way to create that perfect vision is for them to do it. Relying on others to create "the game one is waiting for" is just going to lead to disgruntled people. 

In truth, what people should do is see a few things that really speak to them and accept the game for what it is, not for what it should be in one's head.

kitarad

The fact that they have the wisdom to offer PvE servers is a big plus in my opinion.

Talonsin

Out of all the games on the planet, this is the one game I know for sure I will not be pre-ordering, kickstarting or giving my money to, in any way before launch.  I will be waiting to see what you folks post about it AFTER launch before I even consider throwing any money at this.
