I always thought pvp was the only good thing in WoW

WoW's BG and DAoC are not really that differnent besides having 3 factions. WoW's being newer, better looking and smother. And can handle alot of players without being a slide show.

Anyhow, from what I hear WAR will be big.

You probably haven't played DAoC then in its first 3 years after release.(thats when i quit) but the whole experience between the two is so much different..

I think closed beta is just a name....

The early phase of the beta most other companies would have named Friends and fammily Alpha...

It's way too soon after the TCoS Q2 launch announcement to conclude they will have to delay again.  I think people just say stuff to say stuff, unless of course they are privy to information we are not.

They are all aiming to release a perfect game....wether they will succeed under the pressure of publishers....only god can tell.

TCoS will appeal to a lot of old time MMO players..

Because it will give them the feeling of playing another game, and not "Just another MMO"

either they find a US publisher soon

Or you are allowed to buy the european version and play on the World-servers placed in europe

((SOE has all its world servers..even dedicated euro servers, placed in the US))

People should wait for the free trial

They can't get all the world intoo open beta...they just can't accommodate 500K people in the open beta, even WoW had an invitational open beta.

Thats quite a nice answer from banshee.

With the new beta client running, people can get set and ready now

From what I have read this is not a WoW clone.

If one MMO under development is not an WoW / EQ clone.................then it must be this game.

For some reason communication is really lacking fron TCoS staff all around. It is piss poor marketing not to communicate with fans on forums like this.

Next to that people claiming to know about TCoS marketing strategy have no clue... Marketing will start one month before release....Which is still not set, currently they are aiming for Q2 2008.

And Spellborn is the first game with a true soundtrack...."The Howling" by within temptation is still the officiall title song of Spellborn.

Just judge a game on content and quallity....

I heard, that they deferred the releasedate so often, because of lagprobs+fightsystem. Especially for PvP its pretty annoying. I guess everybody has seen such guys in FPS or even in MMORPGs who lag as hell. In one second they are standing right in front of you, next second 10 mtrs. behind you.

Imho its much harder to aim at someone like this, than at someone with good ping.

Their networking code is better then anything ever done in MMO history, they hired some Koprean networking guru's. True FPS MMO.... somehow AoC changed their focus because they could not pull off the network code. But Spellborn did it....

I think fable was a childs game compared to this...

with AOC and WAR releasing around the same time, I don't think I wil even have time to try this now.

 

Your loss. But I do agree, AoC and WAR do look promising.

I'd make sure to test them out all 3......

All 3 will have their highlights, and downfalls for sure, but when you want attractive new refreshing combat this game really is a must to try out.

All i can say is that i played all 3 of them, and tough i realise that different people want different games, and all 3 of them are great games.  I have made my choice, it would be a pitty if you choose the wrong game just to find out after severall months (AS i did many times in the past..... choosing EQ2 over WoW and then switching games... even playing Vanguard for months and the free month of LOTRO)

Currently i am in a phase that no game can capture me longer then a month..... then i need to switch. Thats why i am hoping that TCoS can change this for me... First hands on was impressive.

Sadly no word yet on a US publisher.... but i expect that there will be a deal anytime soon... just keep an eye out for the announcement.

That spinning action bar is the core of this games combat...

 

 

Somehow i wonder how people can say they like and don't like something they have never ever experienced. You should try it out first before judging it.

 

This rolling action bar allows you access to 30 abbilities while still allowing for FPS action. That rolling action bar combines action paced combat and startegy in one perfect little interface.

 

 

no..its not the fact that it spins..just an ugly skin imo..i think it should be a little smaller...and clear...:)

Ah yes... normally its not even half the size... Somehow they managed to make it bigger to show people how it works. But then Matthew explained it on the officiall site as posted above.

About the skin we even do agree, but if things turn out as supposed, skins should be customisable.

Action... a true mix between MMORPG and FPS... now lets finally talk about PvP...

And when you are behind the keys, it even feels better.

Its never done till its done right...

I don't know weather this trailer was shown at the GDC, but i'd swear its an old one, for sure there is a lot of Alfa footage in it... Things look even better nowerdays.
