    Looks just like all the other asia mmo's...Asians trying to make "western like" characters..only they look like blonde asians..and all the ladies running around with steel bikinis with a voice sounding like they're in pain. There haven't been a truly good mmorpg from the east ever, and this does not look like it will change that at all

    TERA devs + BDO publisher.. yeah, no.

    Daum/Kakao already showed how incompetent they are with publishing BDO in the west, and BHS clearly don't know how to manage security in their programs (recent TERA chat discovery).

    Kakao can't even have proper BDO servers (even with all the p2w whales feeding them infinite money); what hope do they have to host TWO games?

    So hard to find respectable developers/publishers in this day and age..

    If it launches with gender lock...I have zero interest.

    They lost me soon as it was mentioned that it was an Asian MMO. I don't like the Asian grind, oversized weapons, male characters that look like they are professional crossdressers, cash shop, progression locks that must be unlocked by PvP or cash and the overly "cutesy" air hovering over the entire game.

    I liked the steam-punk vibe but that is about it.

    That's so disappointing, but I guess where do you go after so many expansions?  Lol sooner or later the gamers go "man, this same size sword doesn't FEEL any better than the one from the previous expac..."

    I think it might be fun, at least is a somewhat new idea. And as Bill says, its very important that PvP is an option not a core function, at least if they want the really big player numbers in the West.

    Over-sized weapons and shoulder pads were there since the beginning.

    But it looks ugly so it's fine, typical western artstyle. The west is afraid of sexy things, it's not christian. That being said, I put elder scrolls games as my fav of all time, so I will sacrifice looks for great game design.

    I don't care about Gender lock if there is enough classes, but only 5 classes??? and since I will only play a male it means I am likely stuck with a Warrior and a Rogue as my options once again
    No, each class will have two subclasses but they haven't revealed yet what they are. Go to https://www.airthegame.com/teaser#none and click on News, then the Classes Spotlight article. They're weirdly not directly linkable, but at the very bottom there's a little sentence about subclasses that will be revealed later.

    Also there's no gender lock.

    In b4 its just yet another boring wow clone with the same single player game mindset that its devoloped for.

    The main problem with mmorpgs is they have lost the MMO part, if you can solo all the way to level cap and thru msot of the content, its not a mmo anymore its now a gimped single player game. This is the main problem with mmorpgs these days. They need to make the game so you have to group past like level 10, or else you don't get anywhere. This forces socilization and gets people to work together, it also prevents alot of people from being an ass as they can't just go and solo it instead.

    FF11 did this well by being very group oriented as most classes past lv 8 or 10 required a party for most things, all jobs being accessable on one char, and stuff actually taking some time and commitment to do long before level cap. This prevent trolls from being trolls as people who were known to be an ass were often excluded from parties, same if you sucked at the game, you'd not get invites. The fact it took a fair amount of time to do things prevented people from just making a new char if they got a bad rep, as it might take months (insted of days like most mmorpgs today) to get anywhere near where they were.

    FF11 before it got the casualifcation patch and abbysea was one of the last real mmorpgs that existed, as you always needed people to do things, even to level up. Its still the best mmorpg i've played in recent years, or rather since wow came out.

    This is what mmorpgs have lost since wow came out with how it changed the genre from a game where you were required to work together, to bascally a crappy single player game that just has a chat room. This is also what people refer to as the good old days, back when mmorpgs were not soloable at all, and you always needed others to do anything, even to just level. They also didn't hand everything out like they do today, in FF11 you had to put in some effort to get things, nothing was ever just handed to you.

    I've played alot of mmorpgs over the years, tried pretty much every game once, and to this day, no mmo has kept me a concurrent player for as long as FF11 did back when I played it. Most mmo's today I get bored of in less than a week, as there really is nothing usually to do other than go from quest hub to quest hub.

    P.s. people who complain about it taking forever to get a party in ff11 back in the day, never seemed to relize it was their own fault, they were sitting there expecting it to fall into their lap, insted of going out and putting their own party together. I often had guildmates ask me how I leveled so fast back then in ff11, and the answer was simple: I make my own parties, its often much faster than waiting unless your certan jobs like paladin, redmage, white mage. Those usually got a party pretty quickly. Back when FF11 came out stateside I was one of the first few NA players to hit lv 50 and start the first lv cap quest.

    Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:

    A. Proven right (if something bad happens)

    or

    B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)

    Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!

    Every single site i read about THIS game,has to mention "from the developer of the smash hit PUBG",it is like every site says the same thing,is anyone making their own news or is this all pre fabbed by the developer and copy pasted by the websites.
    PUBG is a pile of crap,5% better than H1Z1 that seems to somehow be a pile of crap now that players have made PUBG their home.

    VERY little effort has gone into PUBG,so if the same kind of effort goes into Infinite Realm i would expect a pile of crap.I repeat,if they can't put any effort into a simple game like PUBG,how could ANYONE expect a fully fledged MMORPG out`of this team?

    So why has the news not aimed at "TERA creator"i mean Tera is a mmorpg ,PUBG is not so why that comparison,it makes zero sense and less sense that EVERY website is saying the same thing,so yeah you can understand my skeptic look on this sudden advertising.

    Devilian<<<OUCH,complete crap,this site also tried to tell us how great that game was as well,oh yes we shoudl beleive there is no working arrangement between this site and Bluehole when trying to convince us Devilian was good ,NOBODY cares about Devilian.

    Long winded point?Why should we believe this site or any site hyping up a game based on PUBG that is not even related to the same genre and Devilian not mentioned either which is closer to Infinite than PUBG is.Use YOUR OWN judgement,this studio has not put out any real effort since Tera and that game has a very low population,so this to me is a FAST money grab,similar to PUBG,let me guess.....Founders packs for sale?

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Never played TBC long enough to notice those items.

    I'm not a fan of the oversized, though it does seem to work better when the overall art style is cartoonish ala WoW.

    I much prefer a normal sized sword with intricate designs carved into blade and/or hilt.  Same goes for armor.  It doesn't have to be historic, but suspension of disbelief only goes so far when you're lugging around a sword 4 ft taller than your character.

    Problem is they all feel the same way, size doesn't matter at all. (what a relief guys, eh?)

    There are big weapons in Dark Souls. But you'd feel the weight. I'm ok with that. Although they rarely ridiculously big.
