I agree the video looks stunning, but I’m highly skeptical. The video is a great way to show “possibilities” without having to promise anything in writing. The video gives the impression that these massive improvements to the game are already in development with no proof of that actually being the case.

When I read a developers statement that they are creating player housing, upgrading the graphics, creating some kind of extended combo element to combat, etc. I’ll get excited. But for now I’m going to chalk that video up to marketing in an effort to retain subscribers.

NCSoft banned 16,000 accounts last week and did another wave yesterday.

Say what?

Are they trying to say they can do all that with this game? I don’t buy it. NC Soft can’t even keep the gold sellers down to an acceptable level. That was coll, but I just don’t think that is coming anytime soon.

Don’t get me wrong the game looks great, but besides city sieges what am I supposed to really be excited about? Even then, when will we realistically see this? 6 months? Finally as Slurms mentions, if Forts lag now, how will this be playable? I look forward to discussing this on the podcast.

I’ll play Devils Advocate and say besides looking preety, what else is supposed to drive me back? Maybe Im just bitter but nothing really made me jump out of my seat. We’ll talk more about it on the podcast.

They’re making it even more gorgeous, and it’s the most stable *gorgeous* game I’ve ever played. Player housing? YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY MOUNT YOU WANT.

And I want the repeating crossbow NAO!

And best of all, did you see that Asmodians? ASMODAE WILL BURN! Pandemonium shall fall and all you will have left is your emo boo hoo I should have chose the right side! /Victory!
