First Look on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPeUpDWmb5M

Sandbox MMO with heavy emphasis on Crafting/gathering/PvP (loot drop in red zones, silver drop in yellow zones)

Simplified diablo/league combat style with abilities coming from speccing out your gear. "Destiny Board" similar to path of exile looking skill tree/progression tree.

I'm still on the fence about the game

Theres tons of videos on youtube about it and ppl streaming on twitch

are they doing another testing?

I tried it year ago, but haven't gotten back into it.

Its closed beta right now, as far as I read online or saw on streams. Seems like a 3month closed beta, wipe, then patch for live i think. I've been loosely following since the game was announced for alpha but never bought to try it out. I'm considering it now though

Cool, I got a founders pack while back but didn't get email about this beta

Have they released any details on how limited the "free" experience will be? Seems to bring a little UO nostalgia up from the depths.

I don't think they've set in stone exactly what it's going to be, but the consensus is that they are following an eve-esque model where they will sell "gold" and you can buy premium with gold or something but the vendors in the game all use "silver" which is a different currency. Idk from what I saw it doesn't really seem pay2win because even if you can buy some stuff, you can't equip anything higher tier unless you skill it up yourself first. The free to play will mimic the premium but resource yields/fame may be reduced per node/kill you get. Essentially, you get exp/gather reduction.. or a boost for premium if u want to look at it that way. By how much? I dont know, ppl are speculating 50% or so.

I haven't played the game myself, so I don't know if that's too much or makes little difference in the grind.
