Sword of New World reminds us all what a great MMORPG should be, a unique family combat system, great graphics, amazing orchestra music gives this game a new feels never befor seen in an American rpg. This game allows up to three characters be played at the same time, which gives this game like a said a very refreshing twist. The family system also allows up to 100 characters in one family, this game has 5 playable classes, and a new " card " system which allows addition xp to lvl faster, addition characters to add to your family, and many other unique things.
The combat system needs much work, enemies have very low xp which limits use of your unique player skills, and the auto combat system pretty much takes the fun out of combat. The quests are quiet bland and dont give the player much fun. Although this game is only in beta, It has very much potential and offers a great game, which is why i give it a 7 : 10.

You guys seriously seriously haven't played the game long enough to give anysort of review on this game. If you did, then you would know you can only AFK level until 50 when the challenge is added.
Great graphics, interesting design, great music, but ultimately just not playable for me.

We can take these deadites... with science.
People complain about the grind in asian games. (well most games) But when a company gives a game where you can take a break once in awhile, and let your toons fight unattended, there is another group that pitches a bitch. honestly... most peopel I know who were against this system, are now liking it.
So to reiterate... NO BOTTING SYSTEM.
Quite a number of people actually. Those who like to role-play and socialize for example. Without such uniqueness that demographics of users are removed. Below is what should have actually been typed:
" I don't care if my toons have unique looking noses, eyebrows and ears. All I see is their ass anyway."
"A characters true uniqueness is in their abilities, equipment and the skill of the player. All of which are quite varied in this game."
Really?
"I dont watch my toons grind. I do that afk."
Oh yeah, lots of character uniqueness there with no player skill involvement.
And that is why...
Conservatives' pessimism is conducive to their happiness in three ways. First, they are rarely surprised -- they are right more often than not about the course of events. Second, when they are wrong they are happy to be so. Third, because pessimistic conservatives put not their faith in princes -- government -- they accept that happiness is a function of fending for oneself. They believe that happiness is an activity -- it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness.
You do know K2network is developing it right?
K2Networks is hosting it. IMC Games developed it, HanbitSoft is publishing it. What K2Networks is doing to the game might be considered inhumane. Imagine if in WoW they took it, and decided that everyone would be able to pick a tier 3 set to look like; and thats how they will look the rest of the game. Then taking a perfectly great translation and voice acting, then throw it all out and add in voice actors they got off the street and babbel fish translate the text.
So no, we are not talking about the same game
Another example is this nice boss, called Treasure golem. You will meet this boss around your mid-levels. This boss has a huge (and I mean huge) AoE skill that does so much damage it will kill your characters off instantly.It takes a few seconds to charge, so you have to walk out of that AoE immidiatly to avoid it. If you see the AoE bar one second late, your dead. The fact there are traps laying around everywhere makes it even more difficult. And lets not even get started on the NPC fights.
SotNW:GE is a very, very hard game at times. It just doesn't show at lower levels.

Ive actually just downloaded this game, and I gotta say its one of the worst Ive seen, the game itself is very just non explained, you start out in the middle of no where, no tutorials, a runescape style quest log. The graphics at first are very good, and the armour looks awesome as well as the weapons ( thats the gold stuff you see ), but once you enter the game the graphics tank severly, and your wearing rags. To me at first it looked like a very cool game but really, there is very limited sound quality, graphics are terrible, and pretty much no one will help help you. Thats my experience from it, Ill never play it again, and I dont suggest you download it.

Certainly while playing this game I was impressed by the potential it had. Though not of the game itself
. It has many unique features and in all an interesting game - however its implementation is so poor it is not worth wasting any money on. It is held back by performance issues as well as its camera and combat system, not withstanding the lackluster localisation. And it is that which really kills the game for me, it is a localisation of a (somewhat old?) game MMO from Asia. In all likelyhood that will mean that nothing at all will be changed in relation to core gameplay mechanics and systems; which really need a lot of work.
You do NOT start out in the middle of nowhere, in fact, you first start on a boat, which is the first part of the tutorial. Then you move to an alternative Coimbra, which is the 2nd part of the tutorial. Then you move to the office of pioneering support, which brings you to the 3rd part of the tutorial. No tutorials? It seems you have never even played the game, because it is fact that this game has a detailed tutorial with NPC's explaining even the smallest things.
I also find it quite funny that, first you claim the armour is "Awesome" and next you claim you are wearing rags. Again, another lie, because the at the very start of the game, the character creation screen, you can select every armor model in the entire game and stick with it all the way to level 100.
Bad graphics? I'm going to assume that you forgot to go to the option screen and turn the graphics up. This game won the award for best graphics in 2006, there is no way that this game has bad graphics.
I downloaded and tried this game last night. It did have some good things going for it originality, the family system is nice, and the world is good looking. The cons outweighed the pros in my opinion though. Does it really matter if you choose male or female? The males seem very feminin and the only real difference to me was height and chest. Anyone else keep expecting the females back to break?. I felt like i was watching my characters fight more than fighting myself. The point and click seemed to work with the game but isn't something I enjoy very much. I didn't feel like i had much control of my characters. Other than outfits ranging from prettyboy to gay there is no customization. Sorry for the word gay couldn't think of another word to describe it. When you first start the game you feel lost but that isn't always a bad thing. I do enjoy having to figure out a game. It is ussualy a good thing if you actually have to think about what your doing and going to do but I can see that turning a lot of players off. I am happy to see a company trying something new but its not for me. I wish anyone who enjoys the game many fun years to come.

Well, I was just going to type up a huge flaming post about how much of an idiot you are, and how your mother must have given you shaking baby syndrome, but instead Im going to educate you. When posting on a forum, before calling someone a " absolute and disgusting " lier, you might want to read at least the entire page before making such aqusitions. While in fact I was talking about http://www.wydglobal.com/ the game, and not http://www.swordofthenewworld.com/ the game. By the way, you can email me your pathetic apology at John_n_Grime@yahoo.com, thanks, have a nice day.
