I didn't expect much from this game at all. I picked it up anyway and I gotta say it surprised me a little.

The combat is reminiscent of Oni with a juggling style of Tekken. As I have been leveling I have found myself practicing combo moves. So those boring MMO style quests have new life because I have shifted my focus on the fight rather than the goal. All that said, I have only tried one weapon and class so ymmv. I'm planning on trying a controller as well because this game feels like a fighter.

I'm playing on a PvP server and there's a ton of world PvP! Very cool stuff because you feel like you are part of whats happening in the story. It's entirely possible to beat up some one who out levels you. There are also Team based battlegrounds and arenas. I like they designed the game with PvP in mind instead of tacking it on at the end as a feature. Still they really need to do something about locating your group members on a map. And I would like to see the draw distance increased.

Customization isn't the best out there but it's decent. I suspect they will be adding more stuff later.

Bonus points for the voice acting! I'm so sick of reading shit in games it's about time a game was made like this.

I figured I'd only play it for a month but I am considering subbing for a second month. I'm not sure it's gonna be worth the price though...
