    I got too much lag for the game to be playable. About 1.5 second delay between all of my actions. If this game were based in America, I would be all over it.

    I played the chinese server got to lvl 30 when I could fly then open beta came out and after that I quit it for some other MMORPG....

    it had some great customization but at the time I played to many of the same type of fanatasy MMORPGs and wanted a breathe of fresh air...

    so I searched for a more futuristic mmorpg.

    it's a good game but not really anything new added in it

    worth a try ( you will be spending a long time on creating your character if your a perfectionist)

    Because PW came out months ago? I think? Hype dies down all the time for the first few weeks. Months later, you won't hear any hype.

    Also, I heard it's very grindy.

    Hype is supposed to die down months after the game goes Gold.

    The hype would be irregular if it didn't.

    The game is good, As already stated here the problem is Lag, and the annoying language barrier. I hope a NA, or EU version comes out soon.

    Yeah, it's a pretty old game now, why would people still be hyped about it?

    They're playing now.

    Eh personally I found the combat staler than 3 year old bread..no lies I fell asleep playing this game then I woke up and uninstalled it..since then I've tried playing some pservers and even one that was really high rate and it was just too crappy...its basically walk here...grind for 20 minutes, walk to the next town, grind for like 30 minutes then walk to the next place etc. It was too generic for me and ya its cool you can fly and ya its cool you can jump 3 stories high but it really gets old and theres not really any reason to jump that high or fly when you can walk/swim pretty much just as fast.

    I guess overall it just bored me to death but of course thats me so idk about other people, and btw its not lag thats just how slow the game is (trust me I've played on like 5 different servers)

    Mediocre graphics, shitty server, shitty frame rate when viewing long range, lousy skill animations/graphics.

    The only nice things are the flight system and the wide-ass world.

    Nothing else.

    The game phails.

    It doesn't matter if an mmorpg is the best game in the world or the crappiest, its hype will go down.

    Yeh this is very true...thats just how it happens. Before something comes out people get excited about it and chat about it then when they finally get it they either play it and post less or they hate it and don't post about it anymore.
