August 3 through August 7

For anyone wanting to try this game, they're doing a free weekend to celebrate their 1 month anniversary.

I have a great deal of fun with TSW (I play way too much!), so I'm incredibly biased, don't listen to my blithering, jump in for yourself and see if you like it! :laugh:

    Hey, thanks for this. I've wanted to try, but didn't want to put the money in until I knew whether I'd like it or not.

    Thanks for the heads up! That'll give me something to keep my mind off of waiting for gw2 for a bit.

    Hey, yeah, thanks for the heads up. I've been wanting to try this game too, but also didn't want to dish out money on it just to be let down.

    Just downloading it now for the free weekend but after researchng cost of the damned thing it'll take a minor miracle to get me to sign up for it! £45 + £12/month subscribtion, **** OFF! Own the game for 5months and you've already spent £100 on the thing. As far as I'm concerned go for one business model or the other & not both, the is no way this game will stay afloat for too long if thats the pricing

    IF they let me use the client they're offering post trial then maybe I will be interested

    I LOVE this game. It's the first MMO in years that I've gotten really obsessed with. Check it out and see for yourself!

    That was okay, the controls irked me a little bit

    Why can't you use the numbpad to issue commands? Maybe the was a control option but I didn't check as I didn't play it too often, I like the scenario thought it was kind of differentg but nothing mindbblowing or reveloutionary. I'd consider playing it if it goes free to play or the subscription fee gets cut by about half.

    I had a hard enough time just getting my character named. It was either taken or inappropriate. How is "Callisto" inappropriate? And out of frustration I ended up in game with a dumb name. The character art for the game is really good, but then ingame the graphics are pretty bad, the characters are very short and stout. (As an artist I can't help but let that have an impact on me.) And it was lagging bad for me. I think I just need to give up on MMOs. :p

    Yeah for a game touting it's graphic engine it certainly look that much more impressive the MMOs of yesteryear

    I still think that the will be an MMO out there for me one day but at the moment none of them are doing enough different.

    I keep hoping too, but that hope has pretty much dwindled down to nil.

    It's a great game, that actually has a degree of difficulty --- and is buggy as ****.
    I love it, though.

    I'm enjoying it so far. Love the setting, love the lore. Haven't put too many hours into it...yet. We'll see how I feel about it in a few weeks :P When Pandaria comes out... Decisions, decisions.
