The Chronicles of Spellborn

With the competition suffereing...

-AoC is still a complete bugfest (according to some german sites) and less stable then Vanguard during beta, and it got pushed back to June...

-Warhammers PvE is still dull, and the game will prolly be pushed back again ....

-Wrath of the litchking will not release before summer...

So i guess this is the time to advertise and catch the souls of all those bored MMo addicts... This game has the potentiall to reach out and catch players all around the world, espescially experienced MMO players, just because this game is still an MMO, but combat feels so much different then anything we all experienced uptill now

Please release it...let it come... (Can you hear good old Engelbert )

They need turn up the PR spin and prepare to release it soon.    No matter what you think about the competition, those games/expansions have far greater chances of impacting the MMORPG industry.   Releasing after them would insure this game's chances would not be good.      

This game is so good..... people will not look back....more i can not say....

But if people never get to taste this Jewel.....they will never know what they missed, so yes , they need to release as promised in Q1 2008, everyone is wayting for another orriginall MMO.

WAR PvE is dull? How can you know this...? And I don't think they push it back again, when you see the news movies you see it's already polished and it works great.

On Chronicles of Spellborn:
It looks cool, but it's a sort of FPS, so people jump 24/7 and are going to circle strafe... Quite annoying? FPS sounds cool, but I don't know how they can make it work good, without getting jump/circle strafe/rush combat.

If you want to know why i think Warhammer  PvE is dull, just read this article

I think if they mix the PvP and PvE as well as they seem to be doing, and if they stick to their guns then this game could be successful. They are doing a lot of unique things compared to other MMOs, they have the backing of a famous band(Within temptation, not my kind of music but I have heard of them so having that backing cant be bad), and to be honest I can not remeber a negative preview of this game or any beta leaks 2 months from a possible release that can only be a good thing.

They also have a great community, and the devs are active in the community as well which is always good. oh and the game has low system specs from the looks of it, but still manages to look good at the same time which will make it very accessible for a lot of people.

I hope they do not rush this game to try and compete with AOC and Wars release, I would rather wait to play a solid game rather than have a buggy, lag fest.

I have not looked forward to a mmo this much since my first MMO Planetside, and then to a lesser extent WoW back when they lead people to believe it was a PvP based game -_-

I agree with the poster that went on about the FPS like system though. If the game suffers from lag that could really kill this game, especially since the core of the game seems to be based around the combat system.

Which is why I hope they take their time and not rush the game, if more games like this that are very different from games like WoW become successful then that will only incourage more developers to take risks at trying something new.

Edit: Forget to mention if they can get someone like Jasper kidd (sp? recognize his music can never remeber peoples names or how to spell them though ;p ) then that again can only be a good thing.

The only thing I can predict is that this game will be very much fun to play. Not just because of the combat system, but also because of the love and detail that has gone into the quests and lore of the game. Not to mention the art work, the sound and the look and feel of it all.

If this game will not become a hit right away it will become one in the long run. No it will not be a WoW killer, but the game will be worth every cent you pay for it. And it will be different and unique in many many ways.

Ok, enough advertisement. I like this game, and I hope it will do good. Very good. The game deserves it.

it looks nice but i think it doesn't get as many ads, it might need to get a healthy start, in form of numbers.

so many "more popular" titles are on thier way this year, thus it might very well fall behind and be forgotten, which is a shame but those who liked it while playing it will find themselves having a possible strong community.

my magic 8 ball says: Maybe

I get the feeling TCoS is one of the more stable MMOs we will see this year. The only setback is that it have no 20 year "world" history to fall back on as both WAR, AoC (70 years) and WoW have.

The only advantage AoC and War have is people allready know about the background stories and recognise them... This comes at a big disadvantage... Freedom in creating new things is much more restricted.
