    I had high hopes for this one....until I read that they build with auto-afk-bla bla incorporated into the game.

    Yes yes, Amazon said they will disable this, but when a game is build like this from the ground and up .. well .. will not be long after release when players will start QQing that they want the auto afk option ( bot ) added to EU/NA too.

    They had solid released games in the past, especially Lineage 1,2 and Aion.

    Oh well, nothing really to see here.

    This is after the improved combat, right? Does it not root you in place anymore?

    I felt the same way, but they specifically said they had to go in and completely redesign the gameplay and combat because they got rid of the Auto-Play aspect that everyone hated. They are really listening after the Debacle with the Japanese release and we at least have a glimmer of hope.

    Years and years of game design making game systems tie into auto play. Reworking the game in a couple of months, how well do you think they unraveled that and put it back together?

    I was never following this closely, but as far as I know the auto play was just to handle endless farming, rather than woven into everything. If that's the case, disabling the auto play, and rebalancing gains to accommodate for the idea that people now won't be expected to auto farm 24/7 wouldn't be that hard to do in that period of time.

    3.7 mil v 100k  sounds like they need to up the challenge a bit.
