It will appeal to both hardcore gamers who want to spend hours exploring every square centimeter of this immense world, as well as the casual gamer who only wishes to play for 20 minutes at a time yet feels like they accomplished something.

While the lack of an auction house hurts the game, the awesome combat, intense battlefield action, fun missions and interesting character progression is more than enough to keep players coming back for a good long while. A well-realized science fiction setting in a genre overflowing with elves and orcs doesn't hurt either.

James B. gave it a9:
A brilliant divergance from the typical sword and scorcery MMO grinding garbage.

Cassandra B. gave it a10:
I'm loving this game. Lots of action and plenty of creatures to kill.

John L. gave it an8:
Faced paced fun that feels more like a solo player game than an MMO and that says alot.

Chris M. gave it an8:
FUN, Simple, and worth playing. BIG fan of the action style combat. reminds me of a slower version of Advent Rising (pc,xbox) Not to sure about the monthly fee if there will be any, or not. If theres was, hopefully its not set to high! little bit of lag could just be my computer, felt it would be a better game if it were available on console systems via. 360.

D. Z. gave it a4:
A bland MMO with poor performance on most machines. This game makes very little effort to engage you in what could be a very gripping story. Instead, like most MMOs, it pushes you through the story, making you feel as if what you do has no real effect. The interface is also not inspired, it looks exactly like every other MMO on the market. Overall, I would've expected more from Richard Garriot.

James R. gave it a9:
Phenomenal fun, but suffers from memory issues, lag, and a very bitter MMO crowd, with very demanding tastes. It breaks so much new ground and does things so differently that it may be too much too soon for an audience who needs it.
