This looks very cool. And it's being produced by Mythic, so the PvP (RvR) should be pretty good.

Looks alot like WoW

We should try to get into the guild beta when the sign up is open.

From the site:
"Yes, I said guild beta. I'll be putting that together and taking applications late this summer. Guilds will be judged based on how active your members are in your current game or forum (NOT number of members), the length of time you've been together, your website, and more. We'll want a mix of guild types, of course, so my best advice for potential guilds is to be who you are with as much style as possible. "

I am sure I will give it a whirl. I don't think it would be possible for anything to be as much of a let down then DDO.

Watch the trailer if you haven't already.

I'm definitly looking forward to it, my buddy was telling me it's going to be very heavy on PVP, and in fact you start out in a PVP zone in the middle of a battle (or something like that).

As per the usual fare, the first place I went was to the concept art section to see what they had. The overall style was okay. I liked the rat looking dudes.

The screen shots do look like WoW.

You guys will have to take some pictures and post them if you get in.

Nope, I only have two games I'm interested in when I get back.

I highly recommend hitting the site again, or for the first time if you haven't already. Of particular interest are the video podcasts they have posted. Very informative, and pretty damn funny.
I wasn't sold until I watched them. It looks like they did the only sensible thing an MMO dev can do... build upon the good ideas WoW had.
If anyone has cred to do that, it's the people Blizzard licensed from.

I'm not playing PSU for a while. It feels a bit tainted... I am on Victory server in CoH with my brother in law, though. We're having an awesome time. I needed some Thunder as of late.

I have to say that the Quest system seems very interesting!

This game got pushed until Q2 08 but, in December they are doubling their Beta invites. They plan to be at 1Million invites world wide in January. This game looks amazing. I can't wait.

I am not going to play another MMO until this.

We will all have to organize to get on the same server when it comes out (unlike WoW).

How do you enter for a chance at the beta?

based on those criteria listed for the beta, we might have a shot getting in. it's definitely worth a try. and i agree, next MMO that comes out, we need to organize before we all start characters on 15 different servers.
