  The game has a TERA feel.
  So many people complaining about the lack of labor points , but only played for like an hour so far.
  Combat is pretty fun to. Trying to mix skill sets and make something work.
  Im trying to make spellsword work right now, but I don't have enough skill points :(

  You know, even if we're sick as shit of MMO's we should at least do something like this once. [video=youtube;WC_45DNKvXw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC_45DNKvXw&list=UUnsEhLNp2-rjWo6CHgBFoMQ&src_vid=yBwLZSi7I-Q&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_3351759869[/video]

  Played this for awhile, and it is a pvp game. You don't ALWAYS have to pvp, but all of the higher leveled zones (past lvl 30) are mainly pvp areas. One good thing about those areas is that they're not always pvp. There's certain times (depending on how much pvp has been in that area) that project it into different "tiers" of war (Tension lvl 1, 2, 3, etc) until it hits to a "War" time in which lasts about an hour to 2 hours( 2 hours in a specific " faction pvp war" zone). After the wartime, there's a peace time for 1 hour (4 hours in the faction pvp warzone) in which there's absolutely no pvp at all. Those times are usually used to create harder to obtain trade packs (as you'll drop a trade pack if you die in pvp) and turn them in at enemy faction zones for higher payout.
  
  The level of sandbox reminds me of Mabinogi, in which you're able to do whatever you want really. You can pick of different professions (some harder than others), and a lot of the game does rely on teamwork to get things done.
  
  The main complaints of the game is the labor and the pvp in some areas. In zones controlled by a certain faction (that are normally peaceful) only the faction that owns the area can initiate pvp onto the enemy faction. That means that when trying to do a trade run to said zones, a group of 2-3 people can take out a huge trade group of 6-10 people purely because only one of those people can fight at a time. And the complaints about labor? It's to stabilize the market, as it's 100% player based. If there was unlimited labor, people would flood the market with materials and everything would end up being the npc price.
  
  You also can't become a master of all trades. You can be a jack-of-all-trades, but that would mean that your proficiencies are spread out. I believe you're able to master 2 trades, but that's all. You also only can have 3 different skill trees active at a time. You can activate and level different skill trees by changing them, but you can only utilize the skills from the active trees.
  
  tl;dr Fun game imo. Hooked me like Mabi hooked me.

  [spoiler="sooo i forgot to go over the PvP zones :p "]
  
  in the continent im on the areas marked in red are PvP so far in last few days this has stayed the same with no change so i guess these are the only areas you can be killed by another player
  

  [Image: http://i.imgur.com/pBN9TNA.png]

  
  
  on the other continent there seems to be less
  

  [Image: http://i.imgur.com/xoo3F1P.jpg]

  
  
  
  
  now supposedly at the north of the map EVERYTHING inside the box here is a PVP zone alone with Auroria I've been un able to confirm this though since no one wants to take me or go up there so its probably empty anyway
  
  

  [Image: http://i.imgur.com/lHE5Zm6.jpg]

  
  
  
  and the top continent has no pvp war zones (red spots) because its its with no faction but its own (and probably even against it too) and im assuming the entire island is PvP zone
  
  

  [Image: http://i.imgur.com/Gdoj5e7.png]

  
  
  
  also each area is fucking massive .-. its like the smallest area in game = Tera from Mabinogi size

  [Image: http://i.imgur.com/g8OVLgK.jpg]

  
  
  
  oh and since im near one apparently :D
  
  if you ever get stuck in a PVP zone -(not sure how maybe accidentally jumped into some ones world gate (id make one but they hard to get resources for and would rather not maybe next time i see one or on last day of beta)- any way run to one of these
  
  

  [Image: http://i.imgur.com/7GDSq3v.png]

  
  
  you wont be able to be attacked or attack other players
  
  any player that was attacking you and gets too close to it will be put in a bubble and tossed pretty far away (ive been bubbled a few times)
  
  and then you can either use recall to last recall dial you used or make a world gate or log out or even heal and get back in the fight (though you will likely be bubbled so you cant run in and out of safe zone like a runescape noob in clan wars)
  
  
  also heres the full world map

  logging in doesnt show my hat for some reason :p
