I've been much more interested in action games lately, I've been playing Combat Arms, Blackshot, Exteel and S4 League mostly. I haven't really played an MMO since Cabal but I stumbled across this game the other day and figured it was time to try out another MMORPG. I haven't played it too much really, just a low level Hunter, (13 or so I think), on Lintra server.
I'm not too thrilled with the Hunter class so far, but I like the game in general. It's all very reminiscent of WoW and it even has a WoW style auction house which is a huge factor for me since I hate the personal shop system in most of these free games. They clog up towns and cause lag, plus I'm not willing to just leave the game running so I can try to sell stuff. Auction house system is better, just put your stuff up for auction and you can log off and check back sometime in the next day or two and see how you made out.
I'm still not sure how much I'll play, but as far as mmos go this'll be the one I'm trying out for a while to see how it goes. I'll probably roll a new guy on Valdes server sometime this weekend to try a new class out.
@Hrae - Yeah, my poor old video card is struggling a little bit too. I found the single biggest impact on performance in the game is shadows. Actually, aside from resolution, it was about the only graphics option that made any difference when I changed it. Anyway, if you haven't already, try using simple shadows or just turn them off. I got a significant performance boost from it.
P.S. - It's not as dark as that video makes it seem. Well, maybe it is in theme and tone, but not in terms of actual brightness. At least not in the area I was in. Plus you can just ramp the brightness up in options.
