Watched the videos, and have to say it looks really nice. Never heard of it before however.

Other then somewhat prettier graphics in a similar art style... I don't quite see the difference with World of Warcraft

Looks like their main planet of the setting blew up more spectacular then in Warcraft though.
Props for that one.

well they seem to really propagate world pvp, which is wow's main flaw .. its still a pve game with pvp patched in, mostly in a battleground setting. Hoping for some of the roaming pvp fun from daoc .

thinking sorceror or ranger .. possibly spiritmaster.

I read that random wormholes open to enemy lands and there are zones where pvp is enabled like in wow. Also there is arial combat since everybody can fly for a certain time. Big question is always if there is enough to do and if the goals are sensible. It looks great tho.

myea the arial combat, dunno what I think of that .. I REALLY hate malygos cause of the Z axis, for some reason I find it really hard to judge depth, always have a hard time getting close to the loot crystal

But suppose its less of an issue with a ranged class ^^
Also flying only lasts for 1 min max I believe, with certain classes being able to shorten this time on an enemy player (spiritmaster for one), so Im not expecting major air battles that last ages.

pre-ordered the CE at gamemania just now. Read somewhere on a forum that pre-ordering gives you access to all future beta's, but that might be only with selected retailers, couldnt find anything about that on gamemania or bol.com

also what sets this game apart is that its basically like daoc, with one of the 3 realms being computer controlled. So say you're attacking an enemy player fortress, and the computer controlled faction shows up .. they can either randomly choose to help you, to help the enemy, or just fuck both of you over and take the fort themselves. If done properly, could be quite interesting.
