Anyone playing this? From the wiki:
Players will initially select one of eight factions, and then gradually develop their characters, learn new skills and engage in PvE and PvP content. The game doesn’t feature a class system, so all skills are open to choice. Other elements of the game include solo and party dungeons, an equipment system, crafting and professions, a housing system, and mounts. A unique feature is that every player will stay in game as an NPC when logged off, allowing for a persistent game world.[2] The game will feature 8 player factions: Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Beggar, Tang Clan, Junzi Hall, Royal Guard and Paradise Valley.
Basically, its Eve Online training system + Territory control + Economy in an asian wuxia setting. The combat system is action based and plays out like a fighting game. Honestly, this is one of the best MMOs I`ve played in a long time and it has me absolutely hooked. People are saying its reminisce of AoC and SWG, I`ve never played either so take that for what you will. It`s a true sandbox MMO. It`s currently free (10 hour a day trial) or CBT2 VIP (Paid 19.99) or wait until F2P launch in January (no more 10 hour limit). I`d recommend getting into VIP, it`s worth it. It's going on until mid January I believe.
Misc features off the top of my head:
-Completely open PVP and bounty/jail/justice system
-Action/timing based combat
-True sandbox MMO: the entire world is open to you (some dungeons not yet) with many random elements that regulate growth in a true sandbox. For example, some quest rewards are COMPLETELY 100% random- you could get shit to a 1 of a kind item.
-Can learn all skills on any char. Character has no limits.
-Kung fu action from air fighting, wall running, air dashing, ground dashing, blocking, parrying to combos and finishers. This game's combat system is awesome
-NOT FOR PUSSIES. Gtfo carebears, this game isn't for you.
