War of the Roses should be one of the best action f2p mmos/mobas out now?

[queenvoo]

isn't War of the Roses f2p? how good is the f2p option in the game...

it seems to have action/realistic combat, u can be a knight and wield various weapons as f2p --- a bit like Mount & Blade? (but without horses)

anyone played War of the Roses yet? how good is f2p?

bit of a fuzzy screenshot from some website

decided to buy chivalry instead of war of the roses, soon after wotr went f2p, hah.

what is this a room based game or a mmo? im confused but it looks fun

I'm honestly suprised that this went free! O-O
I'm gonna have to download it when i get back from classes now! I'm hopeful that this actually works out for me, but they HAVE to advertise more if they want it to :/

oh! Maybe it's because their new game, War of the Vikings is being developed, plus Magicka dosn't hurt. For folks that don't know War of the Roses was Chivalrys number one competitor when they both came out. It's actually a bit more accurate with its hit boxes than Chivalry, and set in the actual time period of the war of the roses.

Last time I played, there were horses in this game as well.

And it's match/room based.

yes i believe each instance has 64 players (32 vs 32, which is fine for me).
the website says people can pay the devs to host a server for a game (which is a bit unusual but it can work).
i can't find a link which says its f2p but the website says you can play for free with limited range of classes. but the classes+equipment could seem capable ! i tried again to find an official outline of f2p comparisons, this time by checking the official manual. but nothing is set out fully yet.

some notes :-
1) there is mounted combat in the game, but only at higher levels (maybe not f2p).
2) there is an offline mode which lets u play against bots for training
so overall sounds cool!

need to clear up 5 gig on my hdd for the install :|

Let me clarify. War of the Roses is NOT free to play.
It has a trial version.

Trail version's are slightly restricted in which servers they can join.
They can only play as four(4) preset loadouts. Which are overall weak.
They unlock nothing and can buy nothing with earned currency.

The world is lobby based/not open world.
There is mounted combat but only for people who own the full game

But great news. The full version is 50% off at GameStop Digital.

I personally love it and would advise to test it fast and buy it while it's on sale.

Yeah really cool.. It deserves all the attention it is getting. Quality fighting, gameplay and awesome graphics. Not always common in f2p even if we have some decent contenders by now.
