Im waiting for the servers to go live as we speak! I've been playing this for the past week in Beta and its really surprised me. Its really polished and so fun that i'm going to become a member off the bat - plus i wasn't picked to Beta test the member side of things so it will be good to try out those last few jobs and do the quests for members only!

Looks like a High school Reunion MMO.At least the music in the trailer makes it seem that way.

I've been beta testing this with my son (nearly 4). It's a great child friendly MMO. I'm tempted to get the family sub so we can multi box it.

I agree with ZuluHero - the level of polish is really impressive.

does any one else thinks this looks a bit like Fable 1? esp. the characters

It gets an E 10+ rating for "Crude humour and fantasy violence". If that doesn't sum up the EuroGamer forums, I don't know what will.

So this isn't just for kids? Maybe I should give it a try then - Jumpgate isn't out yet, and I've reached the 4-6 week mark with Age of Conan where I pretty much always get bored with and quit any MMO I've played.

30 year old kid here :)

If you can get past the saccharine sweet visuals (which I really love actually) then you will be find a fun game here. I think that it bears more than a passing resemblance to WoW with its environments, but maybe that’s just me.

I'm quite liking it, though it doesn't seem to run all that well compared to the likes of WoW or WAR, on my system at least. Still, the variety of ways to grind differing careers should hopefully keep it fresh in the long term.

The only gripe I have with it was that I couldn't find any place to change keyboard mapping and that the racing/derby was more graphically laggy for some reason.

There are the usual slew of fantasy classes to pick from, such as wizards and warriors, but players will be able to change these on a whim.
Wrong. Well, not the whole story, anyway. I signed up for the beta only because I read that you could play as a postman.

I guess this will have to do until Fusionfall gets here. (The free version only lasted until I was supposed to go back in time, and they refused to let me pay since my billing address did not match my phony BC, CA address.) Well, if it runs on my Mac, that is.

Been playing the TCG side of the game and it's VERY addictive! Seeing as that 'job' is part of the F2P section of the game and 'winning' quests offers new cards to use. It's a lot better then the other versions SOE has.

I can't get the game to play. :(

I've created a toon but every time I try to enter the game, I get an error (G7 or something) about not being able to find some files or somesuch...
