While the game looks fun, a few things are pretty much no-go's for me. First, the subscription. Other than WOW I do not know of any games charging a monthly sub. Second, the CR's, fear of losing all your stuff etc is only for certain people. Only people who play here are really going to be into something like this, which limits the player base.
I am not sure how bad the grind will be, but if it is worse than P1999, it's gonna be rough since nobody is twinked to the gills or has 4 alts they can buff with.
All things considered, I can see this game coming out of the gate strong, then petering out like Red did because people lost interest. I remember when Red was 2k strong and bled players out weekly till it was under 400 and now rarely breaks 50.
Why ply an unpolished EQ clone for $15 a month when you can play EQ for free?
