Korea will likely get it WAY before we do : (

Looks interesting but I wouldn't get your hopes up. This will be just like Aion....shiny looking game, but basically an asian port and the US team has zero influence on the direction of the game, so any discussion or feedback from us players will be ignored. Game will prob have poor story/translations, big grind, and nothing new or radical to bring to the genre.

Sandbox = grind.

Its the freedom thats the allure here, not the story or such.

For reference see minecraft.

No, sandbox means you can play how you want and aren't being funneled through the leveling process in order to do the "end game" focus of the game. It means you can choose your direction and play how you want. And EVERY game is a grind, you repeat similar actions over and over again to progress in the game, welcome to gaming since...pretty much forever.

sounds great

sometimes its better to just let game designers do the designing.

game looks interesting though. Would like to give it a try

BRB making snap judgments on games that I know little to nothing about.

you know, this seems to be a perfect game for me! Now as a sandbox will there be levels like in WoW? you start lvl 1 and progress or will be more like RL, where you must get your pay and make your gear, which will make you stronger?

[Digglett]

This looks super pretty, but I'm stuck on the fact it was made in Korea. :< (Nothing racist, just too grindy) Here's to hoping it's not.

Ok, finish the main thread for now, will add more stuff later on when more clarified info is released.

The main reason who lets me love this game to come is the fact that , you level up like wow, you have talents like wow (more dinamic), you have quests like wow, battlegrounds, dungeons, world bosses, AND everything else, you dont have to just quest to level, you can then craft for xp, pvp for xp, wich includes naval battles, siege battles, and so much more in a world wich you can put 7 times all WoW world including Outland.

The land is changing every day, one forest you see here will gone tomorrow, a flat piece of terrain today can have trees tomorrow or houses, or crops

Looks gorgeous so far. ^^ Sadly I'm not so the fan of "sandbox games", they often lack a clear storyline. Yeah I know, make your own story and stuff!
... but I enjoy a sweet written storyline more. =< It's like reading a book and I like books.
Maybe I'll try it out nonetheless when it's done.
To soon!

Well, if you find someone who can translate "The Fir and the Hawk" novel, you wold delight us both, lol

[Frozenbeef]

looks too good to be true....call me skeptical...but after seeing other mmo's that claim to be dynamic (darkfall,warhammer,aion,age of conan, rift) I've lost all faith in having a fun and truly dynamic fantasy world :P
