What do we think of Horizons?
I haven't played it yet might pick up a copy and see if it's any good. Although am still enjoying SWG which I would say is rapidly improving over time. Zac |

Yeah it's a pain.
Initial impression is urgh this has to be one of the worst online games I have ever played. I'm kinda patient so stuck with it a little and it's still pretty rough but has some nice charm to it. Again though my biggest complaint would mirror my biggest complaint with SWG (and it's not as pretty as SWG but then you don't have this "and the game issss?" kinda feeling) is the chat system. Zac |

yeah, i couldn't get myself to play it much at all during the beta...
still playing FFXI and having fun... chat is still a problem (really really sucks that this is our constant problem, in every game since EQ), but the game is fun at least the missions for your nation add a plot to the game which i am enjoying still not sure how long i wlil last in it, but things have been getting better and better... also really nice that the game has been out for quite a while in Japan, so there is no daily bug fix crap... the game is solid- Kerigan MMORPG of the Week: FFXI |

Some new updates have come out for horizons. Kinda strange only having various regions playing a game. No US players is a little wierd.
But seems to work. The idea of different races p v e with undead attacking seems to work pretty well. James |

cool
i'm on the complete other side, playing a game where my alphabet is not the main alphabet of the players (since Japanese players still far outnumber American/English-speaking players)... but it's kinda neat, with the auto-translate feature they added... makes it work however, hoping with all i can to get into the WoW beta... would really like to see what Blizzard can do with this genre...

Yeah I've done a kinda about face. Think a lot of us just haven't settled since EQ days. With any luck WoW will be good

i'm hoping so... it had looked early on that it would be a PvE game, but then they said the players would be split among two factions, you couldn't talk to each other to start (unless you are undead), and you can never group... they are still saying that is the case, but they plan to decide in beta if they will keep that or not... i hope not, as that brings back memories of DAoC... sucks when you want to play one side, all your friends want another... no one is happy, and the game ends faster than it should...

Yup exactly. Most people much prefer PvE with the potential to roleplay. I think the idea in Horizons of having different races, no PvP, but a huge realm of undead attacking and trying to destroy everything is a kinda interesting idea.
