Would have been a good game, but it never really took off – its developer, Flagship Studios, went bust in July 08, and now the servers will be switched off on Jan 31st, so if you're considering buying it, your time with this game will be limited.

I must admit I was hesitant to buy the game because of the poor pre NZ release reviews it had received but am glad I did.
The game tries to fuse alot of different ideas from many previous MMO's some very successfully and some not so. From the content I have played so far I’m impressed with the games continuity and flow while not forcing the players hand (in actions) too drastically. You are limited to areas to begin with but things open up once the initial ‘opening content’ has been discovered, in my case the first few hours to level 10. The graphics are beyond expectation and far out-do any other MMORPG on the current market and the plot of the game provides an incising read to go couple with it. The game is riddled with humour and ‘in-jokes’ which make for (in my opinion) a really enjoyable experience.
The skill tree of the 2 character types I have Played so far Guardian and Engineer weren't particularly inviting to begin with but once you have played the character for a few hours and really got a feel for what they can handle, the skills that are available to that class fill the gaps in the characters class nicely. The weapons modification system is a brilliant and unique idea that allows player to fully customise a weapon for specific purposes.
The game is not without its issues. There are several major bugs causing crashes and graphical errors causing problems with gameplay, however anyone that got in at ground zero with WoW will know fledgling MMO’s are no picnic to balance and stabilise.
The game has a lot of potential if you enjoyed Diablo 2 it’s worth atleast looking into.
Worst game I've played in years,its looks and plays like a 1998 PS1 game
