Looks pretty cool. I'm from Canada but I like point and click. I got it from playing Age of Empires and never managed to like WASD. Speaking of Age of Empires that's what the character control reminds me of for some reason.
I had a chance to try it today...and it's better than I thought. The AI is pretty darn incredible...they can follow you everywhere...pathing is very impressive in the game. Also, the graphics are the best i've seen so far in an asian based mmo...very good to even american standards...I don't like the techno music though..bleh!
So based on what I've read on GE, the stances do infact work like the stances in other MMOs. I.E. Some do more DMG, some might have a circumstantial advantage(AoE effect, fear, etc), and some lower your hate.
For example:
Slash Down: Cuts the enemy diagonally and nearly triples damage
Stunning Skewer: Bashes an enemy with the shield and then stabs multiple times.
Hexen Dropper: Rampant attack with both swords.
Gladiator’s Bane: Stabs an enemy with the left sword and slashes at the opponent’s throat with the right sword.
Shootingstar: Eviscerates an enemy by stabbing and slashing the opponent’s abdomen dozens of times.
Deadly Infinitum: Cuts the enemy four times and finishes with a pistol shot.
Heavenly Cutter: Destroys an opponent with a fierce rotational cutting attack.
Those are the same as:
Apocalypse: AOE attack that creates an enveloping darkness that severely damages up to 10 enemies.
Photon Splash: AOE attack blasts damaging telekinetic energy at up to 10 enemies.
Which is the same as:
Rajar en Recta: Stabs an opponent deeply and then cuts upward. Ignores the enemy’s defensive power.
Baile Soleares: Repeatedly stabs an opponent with an enormous increase in attack power.
Ligera Ventaja: A slashing AOE skill that attacks up to five opponents and has a chance to stun.
By the way Escrima usually uses two bladed weapons. It's a combat system not a stance. Please people don't kill our cultures.
This is also the same as:
Blood Over-Drive: Reckless AOE attack blasts up to eight random enemies.
Quattro Firing: Quickly shoots one opponent four times.
R.I.P.: Overwhelming attack unleashes a hailstorm of bullets at one enemy.
Headshot: Shoots an opponent in the head. Highly accurate. Devastating damage.
Precision Shot: Fires a high-damage shot that never misses.
Bayonet Assault: Hits the enemy in the head with the gunstock, and finishes with several rifle shots.
Glint: Stabs an opponent and then smashes the enemy with a rifle butt.
Incision: Cuts an enemy twice with the bayonet, and then fires multiple times.
Shooting Star: Converges on the enemy while firing a shot, kicks the enemy down, and then stabs with the bayonet. Wicked and b(?)
Which coincedentaly(SP?) is the same as:
Fireball: Launches an explosive sphere of flame that blasts and burns up to five enemies.
Torch: Sets the ground aflame and damages up to 10 enemies in the scorched area.
Freeze: Freezes the ground and damages up to 10 nearby enemies.
Glacier: Heavy ice attack that inflicts severe cold damage to one opponent.
Ice Storm: Invokes a storm of ice that damages all enemies in its range.
Volt: Lightning attack that shocks up to three enemies.
Lightning Blast: Devastates enemies with a massive discharge of lightning that damages up to six.
Thunder Frenzy: A fury of lightning that shocks and burns up to 12 enemies over time.
These are all damage increasing effects, and EACH CLASS HAS THEM. Each class also had damage reducers, and most have party buffs. Amazing, since each of these were found in SB, WoW, and EQ (I think) .
If the skills are anything like I understand them to be, they're basically weaker/stronger versions of each other on seperate(SP?) cooldowns. This has been done before, and it didn't equal more exciting gameplay, just more busy gameplay(WoW, SB, EQ/EQ2 etc).
Also, killing X creatures and then getting Y experience is not new, or is it in anyway quest worthy(Die WoW, die). Especially when those monster are optimal XP anyway.
Also, killing different monsters every once in a while when you're on the same level is I NOTHING NEW!. Also, fighting a different monster does not count if it does the same damage, the same way, with a different character model. The "Grindfest" model started with EQ, it's nothing new, don't think I'm blind to the fact that American games don't do this however like I said before, half of the quest in WoW don't count as quests because there's no reason you wouldn't kill the monsters anyway(this sentence makes sense in my head, if you don't get it, I don't blame you, it's uber convoluted). A quest is supposed to be entertaining damnit, that's the reason we play games, and most MMO developers are missing that(For the mods: It really really really angers me, please don't ban me*weak wrist*).
As for the RTS elements...I think I may admit defeat....If you can explain what they are. So far I don't see how they differ from Planetside, Battlefield, or Shadowbane, or especially EVE.
WoW can show 100's of players, so could SB, before everything got all old and free. EVE online also has 250+ players on a screen at one time, I think once it got close to 500. I regularly see my roomates in engagements containing 150+ people, once every other week or so.
Keep in mind, I didn't say that all of the MMOs I listed had combined all of these elements before, I was saying nothing was new. Many games, however, have combined these elements, Shadowbane and EVE being prime examples, having all of them.
Finally we reach customizability. Dude, I refuse to pay real money for in game items. That's just lame. Especially when it's for something that doesn't effect playability, just graphics. Then it's just rediculous.
So, you may have one point on me, but what does that make the score?
Go play in traffic,

WHY IS ALL ASIAN ANIME/GAMES ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE! why aren't asians characters asian?!?!? If somebody could explain that to me i'd be greatful.
I don't think there's 1 true reason for this, there's an article about it here though.
I read some of that but I hate information overload/waffle. My other questions include: Why the males look like females, why the hair looks absolutly rediculus and finally why the heck is it so popular.
personally I think cocasion females are most attractive (thats not racist FYI) and it seems they agree since all anime looks like them. but its strange since feels to me like they sort of degrade themselves. well i guess its up to them, I gona ask some of my asian mates.
Consensus...Dude, that means you didn't understand the article...
Bottom line, they may look caucasian to you, but they're japanese to them. The designer used those colors to distinguish the main characters... Example 1: the main character in bleach may have orange hair and look white, but his parents and siblings are purely asian with black hair and the likes...
To be Honest, I'm not sure I buy the whole thing... And I'm asian... That said, don't stereotype, as I have no idea why the artist have done that...Certainly I don't wish to be white, as you don't wish to be asian... The true question is, what's up with those designers?
Anyways, in the case of GE, it's understandable, because it's set in Europe... Hello...
The other stuff, or what you say, is all just your opinion... Realistic facts of a humans anatomy points otherwise...
Game looked stupid to me, what's new/interesting about it? AoC has great graphics and an original universe/lore. (P.S. no offense, but that song is also gay)
When does Conan come out? Next year? If so i think if Sword of the new world tides me over until then i might consider playing AoC if my pc will run it
The asian games focus a lot on graphics, like lineage 2, but the gameplay can't stand repetitive play. It's like marrying a hot wife, after about 6 months, the importance of her looks diminishes and all this other aspects of her being starts to become more relevant.

GE has great graphics and an excellent system. The AI is top of the line, music is good, quests are good...three players system is unparalled. You guys are just prejudging because you had bad experiences with SRO, MuOnline, etc. They spent 50mill to make this game for just grinding? Come on guys...stop hating on Korean and Asian MMO developers. I am not Asian btw...and I want to make sure you guys just have an open mind before critiquing so heavily. Peace.
I have been in the closed, and now in the pre-open. I love the beautiful customes, characters... but... I feel the grind phantom in my back... I am still playing it however. So so....
When does Conan come out? Next year? If so i think if Sword of the new world tides me over until then i might consider playing AoC if my pc will run it
Conan is slated for release around October 30th of this year. That date is from the Devs, not the retailers.
So Cleffy, and Gameloading2, did I just pwn you two so hard you pulled out of the thread? Good job boys.
No, winning the intellectual argument was not enough for me, I had to throw mud. Petty, I know, but winning an argument on the internet makes me feel like a man.
Guys...stop complaining about how much you hate asian mmo's and japanese making white characters...im sick watching this thread grow over dumb debates!

Watch out for this game?
lawl @ another asian grindfest with "pretty" anime graphics. Seriously.
How did they solve this?
MMORPG.COM has worst forum editor ever exists
Can't say I've seen alot of females with bunny ears in western games, typical asian thing if you ask me (Lineage 2/Ragnarok Online etc).
Whats up with the bunny and cat ears anyway?

Looks EXACTLY the same as the other asian mmorpg's. They all suck BIG time.
I find it shocking they prefer this generic crap, but Each to his own.

To the OP, what other games have you played?
