Does anyone here play Sacred?

I bought Sacred "Gold" about three months ago but never really had time to play it until recently (all my "free" time was spent playing Doom 3). About three weeks ago I found myself getting too stressed out while playing Doom 3 so I decided to try something else for relaxiation and started up Sacred Gold. I must say that since I started playing it, I haven’t been able to put the game down! It reminds me so much of Diablo in so many ways that it could be what a Diablo World would be like! And it's an enormous world to explore, allowing you to ride animals and use portals to travel from area to area. One of the best things about this game is that the multiplayer is FREE - not to mention the game is relatively cheap too. In multiplayer, your characters can be OPEN or REALM, similar in regards to D2 with REALM characters being saved on a "hack-free" server. This game seems to me like everything Diablo 2 was striving for but never fully reached.

I wonder how many lurkers here are currently trying this game out? My main problem comming into this game is that the statistical information on skills, spells, monster stat's, etc., can only be found on hardcore fan sites which are primarily German. Sure the basic information can be found in English, but if you want to know something like how fast your attack speed is using "so-and-so" a weapon, good-luck! If any lurkers know of an English Sacred fan site with formula or general useful information (other than the site I linked), I'd be very pleased if you were to share this information with me.
this - will check after work. For me anyways, it was well worth the $20.00 I paid for it!

I bought the game last year, soon after it came out. (I am still a sucker for Diablo style games.. :P )

I played through the SP story with a Wood Elf, and tried out a couple of other characters. It has a lot of potential, and beats the crap out of Dungeon Siege. The story isn't too bad, and I am thinking about the Underworld expansion.

It did get a bit sameish after a while, and i don't think that I've played it more than a few hours this year. (This year *was* a bit hectic for me - family and work stuff got a bit out of hand).

Well worth $20 for the full game though. Its still about $60 here in Australia - hopefully into the bargain bin after Christmas :)
