Great concept, terrible execution.

Yesterday was very frustrating for me. I went and got RFO, but of course, no CC I used was accepted. So I made a PayPal account and it worked - grrr. I finally got onto the game, and went to make a character and wondered what happened to character creation - it was the most limited of any game I have played. Well whatever, WoW didn't have too many toons varying in looks and it's still great...Right from when I entered the world with my Bellato character (who looks like a chick whether or not it was supposed to be) I encountered some nasty lag. It starts you off with a quest telling you that so and so are bad. Go kill them. It fails to tell you WHERE they are. So after about 30 minutes of running around like an idiot, I found THEM.

The graphics are pretty good, in a realistic way. I'd rather play WoW tho. The controls are ultimately what kills it. They are so abysmal that I couldn't even force myself passed 1 hour of playtime. I am reviewing it soley based on them. I tried so hard to run around and I couldn't do it. The graphics didn't save much either - yes they are nice, but the environments are so bland. Flat and ugly.
