The customization was insane! Finally, now i can really make my char stand out!

I was 50/50 on the fighting. I dont really know if i will like it, but i cant judge now without trying it first

Well, from what I have seen, the movement and combat is similar to RYL 1 & 2. WASD, and click to swing or shoot. You have to aim.

Its the skilldrum that I am curious about. It is a realtime MMORPG, so its going to feel different.

If your curious to play something similar to this, DDO and RYL have options that allow you to set-up the game to move and fight like it would in TCoS. The skill system will be different, but the practice will give you some thought on how Realtime combat in this type of MMORPG is.

Hey Guys,

A quick update here from Spellborn HQ:

First of all, we are amazed by the amount of competition entries. While these numbers make us very happy, we will make sure that we can give all the people that didn't win a fair chance to join the open beta when it starts at the end of this year/early 2007.

We are currently finalizing our servers in the US. Since Spellborn requires optimal server connections, we don't want to put the non EU contest winners on a European beta server. This will mean that all 250 contest winners will be allowed to join the beta at the same time as soon as all US servers are up and running and are tested by are QA department.

Expect your client and beta login before the end of November. This might be a disappointment for some (or many) of you, for which we apologise, but we have worked on this project for years and we want to show it to you in its best possible form.

We expect to get the full list of winners from the mmorpg.com staff within the next few days. Winners can expect more details and information via email within 2 weeks.

For those of you that won a beta invite, feel free to send me (Freeze) a pm on our website (www.tcos.com) if you have any questions or comments. On a side note; we will replace the client on fileplanet before the invites are send out. It will save you a lot of time and bandwidth to not download the current client.

Thanks again for understanding and i hope to see you all soon in the world of Spellborn.

Cheers,

Closed beta. There is only one server right now, and it's in Europe. When they put up the servers in the US, we'll be the first to join.
