Read a lot more about the game throughout today and decided that I am going to roll a bard instead.....seems much more entertaining.

Thankfully I got into this beta, not having a VIP key is a real bitch. Anyways if anyone else is going to play add your user and we can own it up when the beta starts.

This game looks entertaining enough to play for a while, but I doubt that there will be enough endgame content to keep people around. I've played WoW clones before, and games like this tend to be too shallow. Even ones that try to add special gimmicks like dynamic events to the in-game world.

With most MMOs, this is generally what happens:
1. level up your character and maybe pvp a little in between levels
2. hit max level
3. join a clan
4. idle in main town until you find a raid group
5. do a raid for a chance to get good items (e.g. item whoring)
6. go to step 3

Step 1 is fun, but eventually the content runs out when you hit max level and I (along with most people) get bored of the step 4-6 loop. Maybe it's just me though, because I can't stand raids. So I guess I'm waiting for a game with extremely fun end-game pvp, or something with endless content not focused on raids. Yeah... probably not going to happen in an MMO I guess.

There looks to be a lot of different aspects to PvP in this game actually. No ones begging you to play.

I might just be being too impatient but is PvE the only server type going up in beta3?

Also which are you guys joining? Wolfsbane?

Name - gnomey
Server - Wolfsbane

Will change if other servers go up though.

Beta went up and I'm in a 7.44GB download. Bummer. I'll join Wolfsbane when it comes up though and the name will be "JJeos"

Want me to switch to a PvP server JJ?

I was just checking out the game cause only Wolfsbane went up right on time.

If there are PvP servers available I'd be much rather interested in that since I actually have a solid amount of time to play over these next 3 days.

I got into the beta 3 but my account is telling me I have not accepted the EULA yet. I have looked everywhere on their site, but have not been able to find it! Any help?

I got an email that sent me to their site, had me login, then displayed a page that made me accept the EULA. Perhaps it may be under a option in account settings or something?

Getting ready to play today's beta. I got a season of a new TV show lined up and plenty of supplies. I'll add my name in game as soon as I make it.

So we're on Briarcliff as Defiants. And it sounds like almost 90% of us are rolling rogues? Sweeeet. I'll either be rolling Eth rogue or mage. The marksman sounds epic and so does the Archon on the mage tree. We shall see.

I got a key for this during Alpha. They have a great group of guys working on this game and the game itself is captivating. Sadly, if you are looking for an mmo that is completely different from wow, you aren't going to be very lucky.

P.S. Rogues are UP.
