NCSoft made MMO, been out in Korea for a few months now, and is in the process of release to the west. Now, keep reading before you blow it off from that description alone.

I got wind of it from a former guildy from the Camelot days, and gave it a look see. At her description, and reading up, I wound up pre-ordering to get quasi-beta access (they do short events for a few days, then close it back down).

Didn't get a chance to PvP, which is the meat of the game, and very close to Camelot in terms of Realm vs Realm actions. Videos of it really have me excited. Got through a few levels, with no complaints. Early leveling is your basic stuff, but the game is GORGEOUS. And you get wings at level 10. Flying is a freakin' blast.

Anyway. I'd never even heard of it till someone mentioned it to me, figured I'd pass it along. I was very sceptical, and came away quite impressed.

A friend of mine played it last weekend and he said the game is amazing looking, but doesn't really do anything to set itself apart from other MMOs and the classes were fairly standard and somewhat boring.

He was kind of excited to try it out after seeing some development videos and some gameplay footage. Said its a solid game, but it just felt like WAR and WoW mashed together.

Yeah it's a neat game, very great looking graphics and high polished, but very much in the same vein as WOW - I may give it a try at some point if I get bored with Wizard 101.
