I've been playing it on and off since the start. The lag shouldnt be that bad if you have a decent system as i am under the minimum requirements ( p3 733 64 RAM, cable ) and i only hit lag when i enter a town though it can get quite severe at times.
Character customization is very limited. Basically every race has 2 genders and each gender has 2 starting classes , either fighter or mage. There's a very limited bank of body parts ( face, hair ) so dont expect to look original. All the same gender/race combinations look about the same. Graphics are quite nice. I play on the lowest quality and i still find them decent.
The gameplay is meh. Kind of a tedious leveling treadmill with limited benefits as you dont even get to use stat points, they go up automatically meaning your hp/mp/stats are the same if your the same race/gender/class as someone else.
The pvp system is fun i find though. If you pk someone your name becomes red and your classified as an 'outlaw'. Your not allowed in towns anymore etc etc. You have to either get killed a number of times when your outlawed or wear off the tag by killing monsters for a certain period of time. If you die as an outlaw, theres a big chance for you to drop items upon death so expect to be looted alot.
Anyways thats about it... it'l keep ya occupied for a while. If you make an orc on the siegheardt server send me a tell at 'Hamedo' and we can group if im on.
