live is like a box of.....

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.

Aoc is pushed back to 20-05-2008, so May not June...

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.

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.

Want Darkfall now!

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.

From what i have read, this games lore and background will be as refreshing as their combat system.....

 

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.

Gamers who use RMT are like athletes who use steroids.

As long as they don't go overboard on the instancing, this game should do well.

With PvE raiding it has never been a question of being "good enough". I play games to have fun, not to be a simpering toady sitting through hour after hour of mind numbing boredom and fauning over a guild master in the hopes that he will condescend to reward me with shiny bits of loot. But in games where those people get the highest progression anyone who doesn't do that will just be a moving target for them and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay money for the privelege. - Neanderthal

They have a better combat system than you give them credit for,Ofc people if they like can jump but with your weapon in your hand you will not be able to jump very high at all and makes it quite pointless to do so and if you dont have your weapon in your hand you can jump a quite a bit higher but will take more damage,Also you take alot more damage if you are running away at the time you take damage.

I pretty sure you wont see the bunny hoping combat you find in games like counter strike etc,It will be alot more skill based.You may indeed see people strafing but dont forget alot of the damage will be spell based and unlike normal FPS you cant just strafe and fire you will need to stand still to cast your spells.

I think this game is a real breath of fresh air and will do well,Just how well is dependant on how many people want to jump off the gravy train and try something new,It wont be for everyone as it is a more skill based game than alot of MMO`s out there but if it does release this quarter then alot more people may try it out now that AoC is delayed again and the other 1s wont be around for a few months yet.

This game looks good, i plan on try it out, but I dont see a bunch of peeps playing it. It will probably last for a looong time and will be a profitable product for sure, but with just 2 or 4 servers running.
