To play or Not

Requiem is planning on Launching on June 16th, but there are many problems with this idea. They are now only finishing stage two of beta testing. There are still many bugs in the game. From quest not working, to graphics issuses, even game crashes are still be reported .
They want to release a new race into the game that wil not come until after the release date. This in itself stated they are not ready. Realistic they should be letting player test this race to make sure the combat arts and dna works properly. since they have found out it didn't on most of the other races.
Although for the most part game play is easy, and you can work your way through the bugs, I do not recommend anyone paying for a game unless the bugs are worked out. If you do decieded to pay don't be surprised if you get mad becuase servers crash and you might not be able to to log in for a few hours. I warned you.
Now many players are complaing about the disadvantage of free players. Well as in most games where you pay for a service, those who pay get a little extra. But if you play for free, don't worry you aren't out of luck. You will lose the ability to use regional chat, which will make it harder to sell things or search for parties if members of your guild aren't on. Your exp and drop rate will stay the same as it is now in beta testing which from my point of view is not to shabby. As for players getting better equiped than you, well yes its going to happen, but what does that mean for you the free palyer. Means once they get equiped they will start selling on the auction. Flooding the auction with equips, and items you may need, bringing down the price, so you don't have to pay an ungodly amount for your gear. So maybe at first free players will have an disadvantage, but down the road they will still be ok.
So I gave it to you how I know it. To play or not to... The choice is yours and the facts are laid out for you.

Not exactly mate...
Open-beta xp rate was 2.0, at release xp rates will be: Free 1.75, Basic: 1.95, Premium:2.25
Open-beta percentage of xp lost upon character death was 5%. At release it will be: Free 4%, Basic 3%, Premium 1%. Characters die very frequently.
Open-beta drop rates will vary in the following matter at release: Free -25%, Basic -10%, Premium +5%
What Gravity will do with the auction house is pure speculation. Will free users be able to purchase items posted by Premium players? Certainly yes for basic items, but what about high-end items?
That HUGE update which was announced month ago in Russia, has finally been tested in Korea.
It changes a lot. Hope not everything. But it looks like this will not be Requiem in which you have played.
What we will get on release, most players are pretty clueless about. This is mainly because of whats already on the other 2 versions, and how it will combine with the localization development staff. I am pretty sure we won't get something that feels like beta though.
