Well in terms of under-dressed female characters whose outfits are barely able to contain them this is an 11/10!

Does it have any Moose??

[Ferral]

I never encountered any Moose unfortunately, would have been ideal with my mount being a White Lion, something for it to chew on while I was wailing on the Denizens of the world!

Nice review that Ferral. Actually makes me want to sign up and give it a go once my home office is finally set up.
Have you got a comprehensive list of prices or is it just a basic £10.47 per month?

Is that a 12 foot lance or are you just pleased to see me?

[Ferral]

They do 1 month, 3 month and 12 month subsciptions which auto renew, got to log in to get the sub prices and they are as follows :

1 Month : 12.95 Euros monthly
3 Month : 34.95 Euros (11.65 per month - 11% saving)
12 Month : 119.90 Euros (9.99 per month - 30% saving)

There is also a voucher option, not sure where you can get the timecards though.

There are also prepaid options (This is used for prepaid Mastercard / Visa and UKash and also shows in pounds) :

60 Days : £25 (£12.50 per 30 Days)
150 Days : £50 (£10 per 30 Days - 25% saving)
270 Days : £75 (£8.33 per 30 Days - 50% saving)

So its the same with other Sub based games, longer you subscribe the cheaper it gets, thing is though the initial outlay.

I got the £10.47 per month by taking the current exchange rate in Euros to Sterling when I was doing the write up so it could go up or down slightly with exchange rates changing all the time.

this is what I thought too.. the in-fight footage MADE me want to play

[kalniel]

OK serious question, are you willing to continue and spend your own money on it Ferral, and if so, how long for do you think?

[Ferral]

Yes, in all fairness I will be renewing my sub, lapsed temporarily (about 5th July) and I didnt renew it immediately as I bought Divine Divinity on Steam and got Dragons Dogma & The Fight for PS3 for my birthday on the 10th. So new stuff to play and I decided will give it a break for a few weeks with putting so many hours in to make sure I wrote a fair and honest review.

I am REALLY interested in the political system endgame and actually getting through all the content on offer as I do enjoy story driven fantasy RPG's. I also like the sound of the NEXUS points (Rifts!! )

I think at the moment there will enough there for at least a 3 month punt with the subscription to be getting through. Battlegrounds (Raids basically) should be launching soon and new dungeons are being introduced.

A shame - seems there are a lack of Moose in MMOs. Meese can be quite agressive when chewed - they have been known to bite people's sisters!

Anyway,nice review.

Nice review Feral.

Subscription based games like this and WOW =

Btw, if I see another MMORPG , I am gonna eat my hat. Way too many...

[royalpasion]

Awesome review.

I prefer the Korean MMORPG they are more console-y based if you know what i mean. Not just Macro ala WOW with 30 different attack buttons. and the graphics are amazing.

[Warpy1]

Nice review, the graphics on this look really good and I'm intrigued by it.... shame it won't be included in the Steam sale!

[Zak33]

the beauty for me is the combat... the interaction that Ferral decribed to me on the 'phone shows through in the video coverage he made.

LIneage2 (my old game) was button presses and spell. but no movement skills.

D&DO was more involved.. looking the right way, movement, side stepping etc

but Tera seems to be very interactive.. more arcade combo beat-em up along with the online vastness.
