This game will flop. Games based on history/mythology don't seem to do well unless they are rts type games, and for an MMO its even more difficult. DAoC has been the most successful.

For me, mythology from the greeks or romans doesnt interest me in a game, and I get the feeling many other players share this sentiment. Especially MMO players. Most want tales and lore they arent familiar with, which is one of the reasons WoW has done so well, as the history of the game world is very rich from levels 1 - 59.

Have you guys seen what's coming up in Age of Conan? Check out this link, and open the movie titled Developer's Commentary: http://media.pc.ign.com/media/743/743392/vids_1.html

AoC plans to have combos, finishing moves, complex combat with 6 different zones you can attack/defend, seige engines, collision detection (no more running thru ppl in pvp for the backstab), and plenty of pvp. Only worry is that FunCom is putting it out and it took them a long time to get AO working properly.

Looks a lot better then the early screenshots. I wonder why they even released those. Normally devs/pubs do not release until they have close to the final look nailed down

ahahah wtf.

Watch the cyclops_chimera video. Dude drives a tree through the girls torso, strugles to extract it from her, then she gets back up and kicks his ass with a small hit of her staff.

Cool looking videos though. The character animation is top notch.

I think a lot of people underrate this game because it's coming from a new company. But it seems like a very serious company, the fact they're also doing Star Trek Online should highlight that it isn't a little indie company. And before people bash the Sony connection they're only doing the publishing nothing more.

Personally it's the mmorpg i'm looking forward to most.
