I'm going to give this game a 5, and I hesitate to give it even that. Admittedly, I did not play this game long, reaching lvl 15 showed me enough to know that this game did not live up to its potential. Not much changed from lvl 1-15, besides the weapons and armor, which by the way is the exact same as every other character of your race and level. Character creation was incredibly limited, which would have been forgivable, if the play experience itself wasn't also incredibly limited. Reaching level 15 took hours of incredibly repetitive play that involved popping potions and buffing after every 2-3 fights. While characters in this game look great (think FF-XI), the environments lack any sort of awe inspiring detail that you can find in a game like FF-XI or WoW. Veterans of this game will not deny that this game does not even start until lvl 25, when you can start to PvP. If you have the patience to play through a sub par beginning game to reach that lvl then more power to you. I however am more inclined to go to a game that is fun from the start. The only redeeming qualities here are the unique take on the MMO genre, and a few of the music tracks. I think the best NEW product out there is DDO. The best overall MMO out on the market is still WoW...so lets stop labelling products WoW killers until another MMO can attain a 9.5 rating. I'm giving this game an overall 5, because only the 2nd half (past lvl 25) is worth playing.
