10 day free trial If you'd like to try it out.

I played Beta for that game and then played it for about a month, Talk about CONSTANT lagging, Game Crippling bugs, and severely unbalances classes. I left when pretty much the only classes were Healer channelers, prelates, and confessers. Just was not fun. Also if you weren't in one of the big guilds you pretty much weren't in any guild because they would kill any competition they had.

Does this trial require a credit card number?

Hmm, I guess clicking the link helps...

A friend of mine bought that game and he hated it. I watched him play it and damn, it lagged like hell. After watching how horrible it ran, i think its safe to say that i wouldn't enjoy playing that game.

I was in the beta too...
Man, bad bugs.
I have a Radon 9700 pro video card, and the graphics would look all wireframe. One time I got it to work right and it looked great, then they did the server wipe before they released it and I never got the graphics to work again.

Now I am in the beta for Atari's Horzions now.
Hope it is better...

Egh, downloaded/tried it...

This is terrible...

I can't believe that people have actually told me this is a good game. I feel almost as if they told me that just to trick me into playing it.

I played it loyally for a few months and when it worked it was awesome, perhaps the most unique MMORPG, in concept, ever released.

But the lag man, the lag! Sometimes entire servers would lag for 5-10 minutes at a time.

The large scale PvP battles were awesome, but the game's bugginess and lagginess just gets to you after a while.

I finally got out a few months ago as a R5 Confessor.

My advice: I haven't played in a while so maybe its better, but if not, I would say skip it.

Note that you must surrender your credit card information for the trial, unlike those for Asheron's Call II and Planetside. Just a warning before you download.

I bought it, played it, hated it, cancelled before the first month free was over.

Played the game, both beta and release, and got to level 60 with my mage assassin. Quit shortly after that. The game blows, and its too bad because it will most likely be one of the last PvP focused RPGS in the market (the EQish mob bashing genre proves to be more profitable ).

Rockin' I played this game in the beta, I'm gonna have to check it out!
