Quote:Official Press Release
When I tried to use this link their server was too slammed (and this at 1 am) to view, but it will come out on September 18th according to my newsletter
Personally I really like what I've seen about the game but trying it out is high investment for me. I'd have to buy <strike>beg/borrow/steal</strike> a Windows license of some kind, and pray my old hardware would run it. I'd hate to shell out that kind of money and be disappointed. Plus I'm still enjoying comfortable old WoW, if not as much as I used to.
Who is going to be playing it?
A friend of mine preordered this game for me for my birthday. I played 2 hours of the open beta and i can sufficiently say that, despite having a free copy of the game, I will not be playing it. Probably not even bother to install it just to play the first free month.
I could just be spoiled by WoW, but the stuff this game does well is essentially ripped straight from WoW and the stuff that isn't just a warcraft clone is extremely questionable. When i heard they were removing content from this game left and right to make a release this year i began to raise my eyebrows and after playing the beta it is obvious that this game needs at least a year to bake.
Edit: and if your hardware is questionable i can pretty much gaurantee this game will be ugly, with a capital UG.
