    As long as the 7 year old huehuehuehuehua BR players stay away, it might actually be good.

    If you are saying it's a WoW clone based on its graphical engine - keep in mind WoW's "basic" engine is 4 years old. The checklist has a lot of similarities to WoW, but now-a-days most games do anyways

    Didn't you ever play MGS? You can't make clones of clones.

    EDIT: You copypasta this off /v/ word for word.

    Played in the Closed Beta, and I liked it. The dual class system is similar to FFXI but once you pick your secondary class you're stuck with it. You can however, switch between the two. It also has some benefits, like you can be a Priest/Warrior and be able to equip axes and such, though some traits only apply when you have that class set as your primary.

    The crafting system I thought was ok, there was a patch during CB that greatly improved how fast you level up crafting, but it still requires lots of time mining/harvesting materials.

    I'm hoping they made some more improvements for OB since, overall, I thought it was a decent game.
