The game is shite, I'll give y'all that. they should pay ME for playing alpha(kinda-sorta) and beta. 
Anyways, I've got the insider info. Let time pass. Once the regiments (guilds) and treasury are implemented, the game becomes so much more deep. It will become one big guild war. The whole point is to aquire and control the 4 weapons of power, and if your regiment can, you gain many bonuses and constanty are attacked by others. Very fun, in closed Alpha they tried a simple version. Somewhat of a scrimage, if you will. It was like smeer the queer. If you got the football, you got people from all sides trying to tackle you. Plus if you run the regiment, you can summon really cool stuff and wipe everyone out.
The game is not worth anything. But if you're bored, it's something to look in to. Nothing is different about it from any other game, other than being able to attack from mounts, but it's a crappy system. Everyone and their mom are running around on mounts, so it's not very cool. Way too easy to get them, and the lvl system on them is nothing to write home about.
They even brought grinding to a whole new lvl. You must now endlessly grind some quests 15 times or more to get tokens, to be able to start and comlete later quests. Laaaaaaaammmmeeeee. 
Plus, without the treasury system in effect, questing is just a nuiscense. You can lvl a whole lot faster from grinding out monsters much high lvl than you are, just grab 10 stones of power from the store and get +100 max attack and protection. (although most people in game havn't grasped the concept of this technique. So it's an advantage to look into the stones, have an upper hand on a lot of players. They last a week, so 1 mil is very worth it.)
Honestly, the game should be listed on www.addictinggames.com
Later on it might upgrade to something worth seeing on www.pogo.com , which is still shite.

Again,no mention of the 'supposed player' who controls the evil big boss in this game and can summon evil monsters to fight others.
Has this feature been taken out,not yet implemented or in?
I would imagine they'll save it for retail, since they're going to be charging a monthly fee and download for this....
...Which baffles me.
It is in and has been used to great effect. They're getting better at it as the game goes on.
I wasn't expecting much more than a week out of this, but it surprised me considerably and has me thoroughly addicted. It is not a game I would call 'shite'.
It's not a WoW clone, and it's fun. Good enough for me.
Direct2drive is trying to peddle this game.

I think it's so wrong to try to pre-sell a game which is still in alpha. They should at least let people try the game first. I would never buy a game that tries to get people to buy them first before giving them a chance to join beta tests.... its just like a marketing scam.
It's better be hated for who you are, than loved for who you aren't.
Yeah when I saw that I the cred of D2D dropped a few points with me. $30 bucks up front for a Preorder on a game that's not even in open beta yet is spooky.
Even better is the line on D2D's order page for it that says: Due to the nature of this pre-order, there will be no refunds.
That's a classic.
