Storage space is usually a huge issue in games like these. I bet if you don't spend the $10 a month for it, you'll have a very substantially more cumbersome, less enjoyable gaming experience.

Since I'd rather play it like a Diablo 3 than an MMORPG, it looks way less interesting to me than it does to you guys.

So is it a persitent multiplayer world, or do players still make games like in D2?

Persistent but with a limited number in each area before a new "instance" is created. X parallel areas, each with a max of Y players.

Yeah, theres a max of like 40 people per town instance, right? I read that parties will always be in the same instance or whatever.

Its like WOW, except all the diferent realms are interconnected.

Not to be a downer or anything...
It looks like a great game...
But if you notice, in the screenshots, aside from the one in the OP, they dont include the AI...like at all (i havent looked at every pic, but I havent seen any AI at all yet)

As a kid I hopefully awaited the release of quite a few games, and one of the major clues that the game is close to release is a standard AI that you should be able to see in all of their screen shots.

Currently it all looks like pre-rendered battle scenes that they thought would make a cool pic.

I would bet money that their release date will be pushed back many times. I will probably give it a shot, but my advice is not to get into any game that is in development state unless you're a beta tester.

To be fair, I was one of the kids who was eagerly waiting Shadowbane's release...and they pushed back their original release date about 2 years before they made their ([censored]) game public...so I'm automatically skeptical.

AI = Artificial Intelligence = behavior of monsters?

I thought I read that it would vary, like zombies are brainless, and other monsters think and attack strategically.

Maybe he means UI, as in User Interface?

Yeah, thats what I meant. They do show it in a -few- screens, but they obviously dont have an interface that they're happy with and sticking with.

Not that the game will be bad.

But i doubt it will be out for at least 6mo
