anyone playing this? (it's going to be free to play and will also have premium for those who want to sub with perks)

it's similar to eve, it's a sandbox... it's all loot pvp, it's just based on fantasy rather than scifi.

anyways, i'm just wondering if anyone is playing? i just bought the cheapest founder's pack and want to play with some eve folk and also looking for a guild.

I think I looked into this.
It's not really a sandbox, as it has zones and flags.

Look at what happened to ArchAge. The called that one a sandbox as well ...
... but it's not. Not even close. And the free2play scum scream bloody murder as soon as you touch them,
so it's unlikely the idea of full loot and sandbox (it's not) will last.

It's not similar to EVE at all...

uhhhh.... eve has zones as well... high sec, low sec, null sec.

yes it is a sandbox... and i won't list the reasons why because clearly you ignored them or haven't done your research and you might bash me for stating this right here but the dev team is called sandbox interactive ... your next response will be "doesn't mean it's a sandbox hurr durr"

yes it is.... there's a lot of things like eve.... but i'm not employed to teach you about the game, thats the job of their marketing/pr team so instead i'll just end my reply right here.

lol omg
There's reasons why people like you think these games are good.

They're free to play.
They're crap.

They're full of manipulation to milk easy minded.
You'll probably deny that, proving my point perfectly. :D

Have fun, I guess. :)

Not all free to play games are crap. Dungeon Defender and Path of Exile are pretty good examples. Neither game gives advantages for paying other than cosmetics.

But yeah. I've playe Albion Online and it's pretty good. I stopped playing because they kept resetting progress due to the start of each beta.

But once they release I will start playing again.

you know there's also a subscription plan for this game right? it gives benefits over those who don't sub.

whoa, this concept is unheard of!

this is alien business to ccp and its loyal fanboys.

SO you will have to pay to have more fun? I suppose the free part would be just barely fun. More like a wild donkey farm where you have to eat the hay and sleep with the donkeys.
