So far, I am being lead to believe that there are four of us who will be ready at launch. That is, Blooded, Dakilla, Hellfire, and myself.

The game in and of itself has some pretty impressive graphics when it comes to environment and mobs alike. As usual... I have taken the lead in levels, went through the first dungeon, and found it to be quite pleasing. It gets hectic... really hectic.

Some of the innovations I took note of is the fact that they have it set up so that you can pick your gender (you can also set your pronouns in options), have adequate options for character creation (one of the mehhh... things about the game), you establish your character path through the use of the weapons, attributes, and other means (there are several variables even down to territory perks), combat can be fast and furious (and usually is), respawns... I have not figured it out completely as it seems certain areas respawn faster than others, and they HAVE A HEALER CLASS!

There is opportunity for all styles of play from those who enjoy controlling the market, those who like to bash things, those who like to heal things, and a mish-mash of all combined. Explorers will not be disappointed either... I have gotten into a cave by crawling in on my belly through a spot on a cliff only to find out I could have walked into it 20 meters from where I started looking for it.

To digress... the game is an opportunity to essentially ignite a spark back into the clan. It is what it is. We, or at least I, hope to see some turnout. If not, you are missing a pretty darn good game at launch which has a potential to be epic.

Be safe, I hope you all are well, and I look forward to the adventure.

To clarify this games creation. Experts were consulted on the various ethnicities and lore that was pulled from. Their diverse workgroup has ensured that all 'touchy feely' subjects have been approved by cultural appropriative authorities as well as the authorities on inclusivity. You can assign your pronoun preferences even.

In short... it is the only damn place that may have any use for such things.

Last rites: The game is a mixture of BDO, AoC, DAoC, and probably every other game out there in some subtle way or another. It is well done, has a few minor bugs, extremely well funded, and apparently has a team working on it constantly. It has POTENTIAL!

IF you are one fond of MMO's, enjoyed the chaotic raids of AoC, the bling of BDO, the Trifecta of Trouble in having 3 factions in PvP (though here we are all neighbors and not separated by an instanced realm)... this is going to be a good game. I foresee content releases being frequent and done pretty much right the first time if this team's pattern remains the same.

Look forward to this release I do...

release date has been pushed untill September 28

[OD-Hippie]

This has possibilities.

[OD-BLOODED-1]

Just a heads up if anyone wants to try it out, there's an open beta on Steam for a couple more days.

[OD-BLOODED-1]

To anyone considering picking this up, Launch is tomorrow morning. We have not decided on a server yet.

[OD-BLOODED-1]

Anyone wishing to join in, Rhotan, Hellfire and myself are on NA East, City of Brass (low to no queue times). Dakilla and a few others are on a West Coast server, unsure which one currently. There will be free transfers coming up too.

Launch day was a bit of a mess, despite our attempts to avoid the servers with streamers we ended up picking what would end up to be the most populated server in NA East.
I tried the 2000 person queue once, it took 4 hours to get in, and then some other guys ended up getting on the west ones with no queue so we're giving Tlillan-Tlapallan on West a shot for now, they are supposed to be offering server switches in a week or two, so maybe we can figure things out then
