Now that the NDA is lifted I feel free! I've been testing this game for nearly a month solid now. A LOT of play time.

This is a team that shows high amounts of quality, care, and a lot of effort being put forward. They listen to what the community says, and actually talk to them as well.

I'm not going to touch base on everything ya'll may complain about because this is a game that is made for a select group of people.

Wow fanatics are not one of them.

This game should never even be compared to wow, it has little similarities.

The graphics are good for the games setting, and I cant even start to describe how happy I am that it isnt all cartooned up like WoW is.

The demo sucks for the most part, its that simple. Nothing at all like the beta client is, its just something they put out and probably forced to by EA. (They are the devil you know.)

This is a highly addicting game, and has some great qualities, and you can see in a lot of spots where it has similiarities to its roots of Diablo 2 (Same team'ish group of people.) Note: this is not diablo 3, nor am I saying it could be considered that.

It is simply a fun and exciting game. If you enjoy level grinding, skill sets, item grinding, item trading.

This game is better called an Online-Action RPG, not a MMO. it has very few MMO qualities to it. At least for what a MMO has turned into these days.

As for the in-game ads, they are as harmless as it gets. They are more eyecandy and aesthetics than anything. I personally would rather them get some money out of it, thus increasing the chances of higher quality. The FSS team has allready stated on the forums (beta) that they get very little money for the ads. Definitly not enough to make a difference. There is a very large debate on the forums about this whole thing, I personally have no problem with it as long as its non-intrusive. And they are that for certain.

Any questions feel free to ask if its more specific oriented.

And Lasereth, I hope you dont take this wrong, but the overall vibe I get off your post is that graphics > gameplay. Seeing as how many times you went back to that.

You need to realize the largest fan base of this game are Diablo 2 fans, and genre lovers.

Sure its a console world, and in that world eyecandy is more important. But every once in a while gameplay does pull through. Its a world where hell has taken over earth, earth is in ruins. The graphics match it perfectly. They made it so this game runs great on all types of computers.

I dont really know what graphical issues you're having that makes it run like ass. Works great on my old shit box Amd Barton, and works flawlessly on my E6600.

I know a big issue with this game was that it almost required the latest Nvidia drivers. (they had big improvements for HGL)
