- Attractive graphical style.
- Entertaining hybrid classes
- Surprisingly engaging combat, improves as you rise
- Despite too many kill x quests in the first few levels, many much more inteersting quests open up
- A storyline! The intrigue between the houses is intriguing.
- Not a gear grind game (what a relief!)
- Much more twitchy combat than other MMOs
- A lot of tactical choice early on in how skills are used
- Community seems pretty decent
- PeP offers a clever death penalty system
- The concept of houses is great.. I look forward to seeing what it amounts to in reality
Overall, I would say this is a strong game, and appears to have an encouraging future ahead of it.

Yep nice straight forward review,al thou there is one point I would like to point out," - Much more twitchy combat than other MMOs " not that I disagree with this comment, just wanted to point out that you don't acttually have to keep clicking the left mouse button when in combat, you only have to hold it down and it will auto attack, don't get me wrong this is not your normal auto attack, you will still have to dodge and learn to step in when attacking, or on the in swing and step back out, when on the out swing of your weapon, you still have to learn to strafe and do your skill buttons, I think it's one of the more realalistic forms of combat for a mmorpg, that i've tried to date, a bit like dancing.
Twitch based refers to games that require fast reactions and the user to use hand eye coordination to aim their attacks.

Unfortunetly to most players twitch based games means, mashing or spamming the mouse button/s, I was pointing out to those players reading, that this was not necessary in TCoS your free of such things and can concentrate on timing and aim etc..
The more I play the more impressed I am with the opener/combo/finisher system also.
The combat is truly tactical, with some very interesting decisions to be made.
