One reason I tried this game was that their wasn't a monthly charge to play. This is the first game to prove that it doesn't take a monthly charge to keep it running, and fixing bugs, and what not. It makes you think "Where is the money going for other games that do charge?". Well SWG proved to be a ridiculous MMO after their NGE. All that money spent for what? A revamp? I guess the majority asked for it, but ME I didn't like it one bit. This game has everything like it should. I've played it for about a week now, and already have it down wha I have to do, and what I must do to advance. They have a unique way of collecting items to actually craft/pay for new armor. It's there....you just have to either kill/trade to get it. Prices on things are well within grasp. So far the player base is nice. I'm sure there are the youngins, and tards to ruin your game time, but so far so good. The graphics are great with better realism (which I prefer over cartoon) than some mmo's I can think of. This game is based around grouping for missions for sure. I tried to solo, and I couldn't. I don't mind I guess, but some things I would like to do on my own. Maybe when I get higher in level. It doesn't bother me either that you attack by clicking once, and the animation takes over. Just to sit there continuing to click would get boring. Gives you time to select another skill to unload on your enemy. The storage on the player is small. Holding only 30 items. I'm still playing as we speak. I'm yet to find more things to say good about this game. I'm just so glad it's free! That makes a big impact on my decision to play a game. other than having to spend $40-50 on a game then continuing to spend $10-15 on it every month. Man...glad those days are over. Another interesting fact is they continue to upgrade/patch the game knowing that they said they wouldn't...man what is that? That's great!!
