Thought it was closing tomorrow? In the email I got it said:

10:00 AM PST (18:00 GMT) on Friday, Jan. 28, 2011

Been playing a defensive warrior myself, kani made a cleric so he can just heal me when needed. Not sure whether to buy this game or not when it comes out still though, probably wait a week or two first before buying it.

Whats your IGN's?

looks nice.. but could they get any closer to cloning wow ? lol

I take it you're a WoW player? The game plays nothing like WoW, nor does it look like WoW. Its closer to Aion if anything.

Same quest log as wow, same player hp/icon bar/ target / pet bar. , same bag system , same chat / combat log.

and thats all just from the screen shot i saw above :P, if anything it looks like an addon to change the visual of your ui slightly that you'd find in wow.

but i do try not to judge a book by its cover (hard to though when its got "world of warcraft" printed all over it)
i will keep checking on how the game to see how it is playing out but all this hype over it being a wow killer is silly, most of these mmos branded "wow killer" never live though the hype and turn into a huge disappointment.

lol, whoever coined that term is as much of an idiot as half of the people that play wow.

Lets be honest how many new games come out and people pop that remark "WoW Clone" even Aion got branded that crap but i understand were your coming from, some of the features are WoW look alikes but the graphics and gameplay are very different, it's a nice game but after testing i got to say Aion is much better.

Yeah sure. Already playing with a mate atm so the more the merrier. Will 100% be rolling guardian again, I knew defiant would be packed out with kids, "lolz i wanna be evil ;p;p hehehe" etc. Think at times they had 20min+ queues for warfronts lol.

I find it more like WAR than WoW tbh. After playing TERA I just can't really see my self playing this which is a shame as it does have potential.

I'm wanting to try this, but can't seem to get any details on when I can play in BETA?

Don't want to buy the game without trying it out.
