Scuba, myself, and Dknight, another buddy of ours from WoW, started really
getting into this game last night. I was told that there are no instances in this game.
however, with Scuba, and Dkight at level 11, and myself at level 12 we had
already experienced 3 complete dungeons. The third one we are on is by all
accounts, other than party seperation from the game, a full blown instance.
The flow of gameplay was quite enjoyable and the graphics stunning, (even
though my AGP X850 XT is chugging along on the medium low setting!) The music
is an absoloute treat, harminous fantasy in towns and open fields, dark and ominous
in the deep dungeons, and heart pounding & epic during battles. Dknight & myself
picked up our first mounts at level 10 for a measly 12 silver. Really good armor & weapon
drops in the dungeons of this game too, all three of us getting at least one good item from
each dungeon, more often two or three. Having really just entered the second zone, we
were completely amazed at the sheer magnitude of this game. Customizable UI, ingame co-ordinates,
and minimap markers make navigating this behemoth of a game an absoloute joy.
If there is a game out there that will pull me out of WoW, this is it, without a doubt.
