To start off, this is a pure PVP game. PVE is mainly to level, cash, pots, and armor.
From some translated lore, basically this game is more of a war game so you really are just a soldier. Not a hero who looks different from everyone else. How many wars have you seen where each soldier looked different? Not many except different ranks.
Pots, these are in game so races actually use strategy, not some zerg rush and who has most people.
PVE grind, usual MMO has these. Not much different from another MMO created, there are some quests to help a little with exp and cash.
Combat system I would say is more unique then most MMOs. You have skill points, more you use more it goes up in % till it levels. Then you have combat abilities, range, close range, etc. This actually makes a person who is level 30 actually a person who put dedication in their character. If you screw up on your points, or way too far behind. You could possible ruin your char and have to restart from beginning. So power leveling is really a bad thing unless your pts are maxed or you want to gain an extra level before training points.
UI, I guess you can admit needs a little polishing. But after you learn the keys and UI. It's very simple. All you have to do is ask around or research on a website, or better yet, experiment, something you people are all afraid of.
Questing system more of a little helping system, doens't help too much but shows you where to level and gives you decent cash in high levels (where drop rates are extremely low and cash is hard to get from mobs). In quests, if you hit the basic key "J" it tells you where mobs are and what to do. So many times level 1s and 2s ask stupid stuff as the known "where are the wings" spammed 100 times a day, yet their in newbie zone...... Like I said above, all you guys expect everything to be given to you and find mobs. I for once, have never asked where is such and such or how do i get here. So far in beta, world is very small and easy atm since the fact their not really testing content in USA beta.
I guess I can also say, this game really is just a war game, not much RP as in villages and towns. Just war and killing other races in mass PVPs in 100-200s of people. If your a PVE'er I suggest you should leave, for you won't get any sympathy or help in this game. To finish it off, I enjoy playing this game, seems very decent game.
Hope this atleast helps understand why you might not like this game, instead of just playing game for 1 minute then saying this game sucks and start talking how this MMO isn't exactly like ________ (fill in blank).

I found your post pretty good except for this. This is completely NOT true. The game IS a zergfest, it's how it was designed, and potting is a big reason as to why. I also didn't find the combat unique at all, but since you were more talking about rasising skill points, and not the combat itself, I'd agree that it is different.

Well, the fact that you have skill pts and such, makes anyone who levels to 30-50 as fast as he can really will just destroy his character or have a very gimped char that any low level can beat.
I guess maybe just majority of people just don't like these type of games. I do like storyline, medevial kind of fantasy MMOs, but I also like just plain straight out PVP in a MMO. Which basically RF online is a very forward just PVP. So I guess can't expect too many people to not hate this game.

the pots take any tactic or strategy in pvp away. Its all about "everyone target someone and start bashing" till you or the other guy are out of potions.
WOW (not W of W) thats soooo classy pvp .. not.
and the skill leveling ..omg.
you even have to grind BUFFS lol.
we just made the math, to raise a buff skill from level 3 to 4 , it requires you to rebuff it (every 3 minutes when it runs out) for 270 !!!!! hours.
oh and lets see, how to keep shield and defense skill up ...
unequip weapon , aggro a lot of mobs and let them hit you
over
and
over
and
over.....
for the pvp :
today we had core so were like 30-40 guys mining there, and killing the eventual incoming enemies.
usually ranged or casters .. no big deal .. they dropped right when arriving...
then a warrior comes (bello whatever , but not in a MAU) with a shield and a mace... ow he did almost no damage (100ish) but we could hardly hit him... and im talking 40 guys bashing and shooting at him like crazy (incl some of the highest player from our faction) ... and NOTHING... whenever he was at like 75% health , he just drunk a potion and kept running (all he basicly did was run in a circle around core and hit the few afk mining guys, eventually killing 2 or 3 of the low levels).
So you tell me , thats intelligent pvp ? wtf ? 40 guys cant kill 1 and you call that not zerg pvp ?
wtf is wrong with you lol.
anyway , this game will never succeed in usa or europe , and i wouldnt be surprised , if CM would cancel it soon.
Did I miss something or did you just contridict yourself.?

with what ?
People simply need to read this board. When there are 20 active members on a board and 18 of them are bashing the game, something is fundamentally wrong. I realize there are people defending it like it was a wounded puppy, but somewhere in these posts there has to be a veil of truth. There are things missing from this game that make other games fun. This one isnt.

Had 3 chars in PH beta and <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Sneak Peak in between lvl 29-33. While I can't say too much about the high level content, playing the game itself was fun (from what I was able to see). I really liked the game play and the graphics (pretty equal to Linage 2 imo), I even got addicted to it ^^ But I'm afraid that the fun won't last longer than max. 3 months. I just miss too many things:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
- lack of content in general (small variety of items, all characters look like each other),
- boring quests which are always the same,
- no real skill point system (annoying PT-levelling, no real character customization),
- potion spamming,
- character view distance (way too short),
- trade skill system (boring/almost senseless),
- small world (compared to other mmorpgs),
- terrible pvp system (potion spamming),
and probably a few more points which I can't remember at the moment.
Be aware that I did NOT play the European beta. I have no idea what Codemasters changed. But I guess that the versions are pretty much the same.
Edit: oh, and don't get me wrong now. Some of these points are a matter of preference of course. It's your choice if you like the PT- or PvP-system for instance, and I also believe that there are more than enough ppl who like exactly this kind of game (which actually reminds me of a mix of Lineage 2 and Guildwars). But it's not the game I'm looking for...

You are absolutely spot on - trouble here is the original poster would rather view himself and his pvp as intelligent than not !
PVP is a joke in this game.
