sorry for not wanting to dig, have they announced an official release date for this yet?

[Foxer]

Nope. Should be Sept. though.

[Zettofaia]

That's not very far off, is the EU version going to be released before that? I saw some videos of EU beta on youtube earlier. : o

[Foxer]

Same. You can join either server too.

Spoiler: show

Thanks, I'm pretty excited after spending a while viewing raid videos and such, the game looks like a lot of fun.

I was looking at picking this up and checking it out, as sadly I chose one of the low pop servers on Rift and really can't get my raid on. Fuck rerolling after getting 2 50's lol. Anyways, is this linear like Aion/every other korean mmo was? Is there forced world pvp or are there pve servers, what's the grind like etc?

[Rulke]

^ On the Korean servers they are all PvP after a certain level/area. NA/EU will have seperate PvP and PvE servers.

The game itself is pretty linear yes, however "grind" is low. You can quest/mission for much of your exp or you can just go kill mobs too. Mystel- I think, is the 1 Korean server where many NA people are playing at atm. If you want to play K-Tera anyway.

Linear if you have a vagina. Would be more of a BAM grind fest and dungeon repeat grindage if you wanna vary. In NA, there will be PVP and PVE servers. In Korea, they're all PVPVE, so it's half non-PK and half PK(Dunno about new 3rd continent), but it's still very PVE orientated. Most people just BG anyway.

Not sure what you mean by linear, but there's a bunch of ways to lvl:
- Big elites grinding/repeats. This will net you the most exp/hr and can hit 50 in about a week and a half.
- Spamming instances. Not as great as big elites grinding, but better than the last option!
- Solo questing. This is really fun for your 1st time through the game (exploring, etc) but it's pretty slow and you'll hit 50 in about a month.

Obviously you can mix, but the game doesn't feel grindy at all. You won't be standing there spamming the same skill rotation, you'll be running around/blocking try to avoid hits while trying to hit the mobs back to trigger your multipliers, etc.
Endgame to me atm seems repetitive (I say this cuz I havent done any HNM hunting, and cant do much BGs) it's mostly grinding for money and spamming same instance with no drops to show for it. But this won't the endgame for NA/EU (or korea in a few days!) cuz they're rasing the lvl cap and adding more stuff.

[Foxer]

Sheesh, nigga, you been saying a few days for a few days now! May 31st. MARK MY WORDS!

NO! IT'S ANY DAY NOW!

[Foxer]

Servers open up on the 3rd, and if it's in May, it should be the 11th, 18th or 25th, which is any day now I guess, yeah. lol :3

[Katlan]

Oh Fenux.. we all planning to go PvE server.. right? Kinda assumed so, just figured best to clarify that. FFA PvP isn't my cup of tea. Though I love the idea of Server v Server stuff

[Foxer]

Yeah, that's the thing. I think cross server rifting is going to be Politics orientated, so OW PVP servers might not be necessary. Latest video clearly shows 2 servers creating an alliance to overthrow another server, and I doubt there will be many PVP servers to begin with so yeah, it has to be availible to PVE as well. If there was PVPVE servers like the ones in Korea, I would roll in one of those, no questions asked. Since there won't be, by the looks of it, I don't mind. If we're going to put this BG driven guild together, we should prolly come up with an answer sooner than later, before I start shit talking all these Aion guilds up. lol :3

I don't like random ganking either, and it's pointless in this game. You can either grief some1 for a grinding spot, or pk ppl at HNMs (imagine Aery with open PK).
What's this PVPVE you're talking about? I thought that's some bs Aion came up with, and I haven't seen any mobs in Battlegrounds. Mystel is a PK server.

[Rulke]

I think the "PvPvE" idea was that of a PvE "game" but that has open PvP elements. On that train of thought, the "PvP" servers for NA will be just that: Playing a game that has strong PvE elements/base but has open PvP. Where as PvE servers will be focused entirely on that with options for PvP (duels, battle grounds etc)

I think pvpve was a term coined to describe the dredg experience. (Which was awful =p ), otherwise it'd just be PVP or PVE severs O;

I really hated dredg I don't enter BGs to kill mobs and get trained all day.
