    Some of these concepts sound cool. I hope the Dev stands by his promise to offer refunds for the Kickstarter. If that happens I'll get more excited.

    I won't get excited until refunds are not needed :)

    I hope this game can be successful where everquest next failed but I'm not going to bet any money on it.

    Nice video. I finally understand what a node is after hearing them talk about them for months haha!

    Yeah this seems like a similar concept to EQNext's Rallying Call with less direct engagement needed from the community. I'm truly fascinated now.

    I really like it and I hope that they will bring us more interesting ideas! So far so good!

    This itself looks beautifully crafted and well thought out. I previously thought that the node system would work similar to guilds capitalizing and monetizing on certain territories... But this video gave me a whole new perspective on true world MMOs. I love the concept of players having their own story and being a part of something that could change the world for an eternity... It amazes me.

    This sounds cool but I hope they can make a good action combat system and a role system where tanks, healers, and supports are actually needed - even in open world content. Because otherwise there won't be a huge incentive to leave games like GW2. If I'm going to deal with subpar action combat and a game that doesn't need healers in open world content, I might as well play GW2 for that.

    I love the idea of the node system, playing in the game world itself, and some of their other ideas. But for me they really need to get combat and needed trinity roles done right. Otherwise there are enough other games out there with close enough ideas that this game won't stand out enough.

    I completely agree on a solid action combat system and trinity roles, it a huge reason why I don't play mmorpg right now.
