are u crazy 
lol this looks like it was made in the 90's!
Aerrevan seems to be doing something different with the MMO formula. Those bashing the game for the non impressive visuals are the reason there's so many graphical trash MMO's out there. Spend too much development time on the visuals, and surely the gameplay will suffer.
Classes leveling, chatterbot NPCs, guild/clan system, pvp, faction zone control, and radiation poisioning.
herm...
Well the radiation poisioning effect is a bit unique, and I've actually hoped some one could make effective Chatterbot AI for multiplayer games and MMOs for quite some time. Would love to see if that aspect works well.

Problem is, unless they want to remain a REALLY niche game, they'll end up having to dump that.
The whole "talk to an NPC" novelty wore off for most years ago when people graduated from EQ.
But if they're happy remaining as a small niche game, then they can keep it in. They may even pull in some who are still playing EQ if they get the game off the ground. Hell, the graphics aren't any worse than EQ or Anarchy Online.

This game was made in the 80s not 90s..and now they are going to release it soon.
Another small group of amateur coders that though: lets make a sandbox mmo, even if we dont have money, talent, knoledge, tools, manpower etc etc.
Its even in worse alpha stage then MO..yeah seems impossible but it is.
Eh....EQ NPCs aren't chatterbot. They just have keyphrases that triggers text. From what I was reading of Arrevan's conversation system, it's largely unscripted conversations. Meaning, you can actually freeform what you're talking about and not get strict canned responses.
Though that comes with quite a problematic set of issues by itself that it really makes me wanna know if it works ok or not.

Well, the only other "current" mmo I know of that uses "freeform" chatting with NPC's is Planeshift, and trying to use it in any way that even resembles real text recognition will make your brain bleed.
If Aerrevan can pull it off without making most players want to throw their screen out the window from frustration trying to "talk" to the NPC's, more power to them. They'll be the first. But somehow, I just don't see it happening.

Now if only they would let me download the client. -.-
------------------------------
Hmm...
I'm DL'n it now. I am going in with an open mind!
luthor im afriad
Hatters gonna hate.
bloop
I'm going to join a guild and drop the smack on all you knob goblins.
Why would someone who makes hats dislike this game? Oh yeah you were just trolling and decided to be one.
Well good luck i'm still trying to get in game after trying latest client,but if this is as farceical as
the closed beta then flame on i'm afraid ,prob the worst thing Cubeforce could do right now is
let more peeps in before fixing the mess they have atm.
Client downloading at a whooping 45k/sec. I'll pass.
Client downloading at a whooping 10 k/sec. I'll pass.
lol at all the comments.
I going to test it. Why not?
One either supports indy developers or not. Graphics are acceptable and might give one a retro feel. I'm ok with that.
getting about 48-53 k download but I only have dsl so that's not biggie.

40kb/s ... says 9 hours ... I'll pass too
Download speed tells me something about devs doh.
I'm all for small companies making games with some new-ish features, but let's be realistic.... a game like this has ZERO chance if it's pay-2-play. Free to play with an optional cash shop is the only way this game will survive.
omg this game looks like so much shit i should take all the beta keys and put in recycle bin...
Well... I have a 22mbs connection and I was getting 90k... Thats NOT a good sign. I think I'll wait for a month or two this time. But I wish them all the best.
