Soooooo... noticed this on the front page...search didn't show any new topics....
Did anyone get into to alpha/earlier beta testing? it looks...interesting.

Let us discuss;

"Classless Characters
In Aerrevan, your player does not have a defined class. Instead, your actions and preferred skills dictate your characters strengths and weaknesses. Want to make an archer mage that wears full plate armor? Go ahead! If you use your character this way, it will become stronger in its own unique way, ensuring a balanced gameplay experience no matter how you choose to play."

I'd post more screens, but they are all of the world, no gameplay/character screens.

I personally think it sounds intriguing.
Little worried about class identification...since everyone will be wearing non class-specific armors.

Is there a monthly fee to play the game?

Yes, Aerrevan will require a monthly subscription to play. The exact cost will be announced at a later date.

from the quality of the site, my personal thought is that this is just another bad game from some guys that have gotten a little bit further then the 2d "mmorpg's" top view all the same games. but after seeing some pics of the environment it looks like the builders at least know how to create an interesting environment, little amount of flat surfaces and so on.
just too bad the person who drew the top banner did a really crappy job. a good banner does a lot to a site.

ill give this game a try before settling my mind on anything since there is about no videos or anything that i could find in my 2min search that could give me a vague opinion.

will be interesting to see how this one turns out.

I have a feeling they try to make a sandboxish MMO and even if it turns out crap, its a good thing in general.

Also a game being P2P is a Good thing and not a disadvantage (especially if they price correctly based on the overall quality of the game).

Agreed, there needs to be more sandbox MMO's on the market, if they are taking it towards that direction it would be a interesting game. There is so much potential in those type of games IF they are done correctly, generally it feels like those type of games have gotten a bad reputation on the market so far becouse of games like Darkfall and Mortal Online, and I do hope this isn't going to be another of those games who just promise amazing sandbox features and then fails completely on every other aspect of the game.

and not made by indie companies charging exorbitant fees.

Indie companies are fine. Look at Xsyon they are are only charging $39.99 for the game with two game months and other stuff, and thats a preorder .

However you are right about Darkfall and Mortal online both charging way too much...

Yeah that banner is pretty bleak lol

I personally love sandbox, but as you said scoped, we've yet to see a true success.
Two big reasons are bad publishing, and they seem to lack a good introduction into gameplay.

And I know it's to be P2P BUT I figured it would peak interests, especially if they end up having a big CB
oh, and cinder, I love your new title...or at least I haven't seen it yet xP
