I've seen this game mentioned in articles as replys but didn't see a thread for it so I figured I would mention it. Nostale started closed beta on Aug 21. The game is a 2d-3dish mmorpg with the same asian graphics we are used to. You have two different levels, basic and job. Once you reach job lvl 20 you can choose from archer/warrior/mage. It isn't that bad of a grind up until 20 job lvl though because about every level you get a new skill up until then that ranges from melee to ranged to magic. There is also a pet system for an adventuring companion that you can get at level 1 without any trouble. You can have multiple pets, switch out them at any time, and take control of the pet like it was your character. There are instanced quests/dungeons with time limits and objectives and you can challenge the record time (haven't done it, but I assume there is some reward). Everything is available at level 1 though so there isn't a grind to look at that stuff.
I started playing yesterday and I have found it interesting enough to hold me off until Age of Armor and Fiesta go into open beta.

it never ends does it .......
It's a pretty good game.
Nothing too special, not a bad grind, nice graphics, and cool pet system.
Try it.
Heh I like the look, I was expecting a 3d world with 2d visuals on top but it all seems to look 3d to me.
Ok my mistake the characters and enemies are 2d but the sprite renders are done pretty well, if not a tad low in the animation area.
The game plays in a fun way so far, I like it as a free game but all is wiped in a few days to prepare an open beta so I won't play too much.
It reminds me a lot of Trickster Online...
I think open beta starts today. The game is ok as a time filler. Pet system is alright and you have NPC join your party at lvl 25 called Rhain.
