Dinosaurs and dungeons... we're looking in-depth at two games a lot of people are excited about releasing.

-f2p- many restriction like world chat,farming mats(about 50 a day) and much more;
-gold - you have access to everything, you will have a bonus in pvp points farming and instances colddown will decrease a lot!!(9.9€ a 30 days)
-Veteran- every former player that played to play, will have access to everything, only difference from the gold is that you dont earn bonus points and instances colddown will increase dramatically.
Best of all is that it doesnt matter if your acount is active or not this last days :D so they will grab those former players like me, cause i will play again.
if anyone played aion before, go to your ncsoft account and you need to allow them to transfer your personal data to Gameforge.
P.S great video :D
I think it's a good move. And don't worry I think that if it gets much attention f2p will be coming to the US too.
As for Dragona, actually i think it's not original at all. Very generic fantasy mmorpg. the only aspect that is new is the partial dragon transformation wich also is not a big deal. I honestly didn't like the game as I quit after reaching level 15 or so after 1-2 hours.
TERA is gonna be awesome. I've been following it since I learned of its release in Korea. I'm probably gonna try it but with Aion going f2p here and also Guild Wars 2 coming out I'm not so sure which game im gonna invest my time on.
almost every week there's a new update for prem items /pets /quest
before i knew it i blew 600$ in 2 months
then i got banned >.>
Rusty Hearts is a great game, lots of skills for each class, you can buy costumes and change appearance, but when you play the game, you will see youself doing the same dungeon over and over.
Age of Conan, I tried it because I was looking at videos on youtube. It looked great on video until I tried it. I thought it was a hack and slash mmo, but clearly its not, you need to point in the direction of the target to fight, and then there is a market system, it basically tells you which side the target has their defense set up, and you have to change where you target to hit their weak side for the most damage. The player themselves also need to do this. The other thing is that, the game didn't look as great as it did in videos, the character models looked a bit blockish.
so its pay to win which i cant play and why i boycott all funcom products
also they have paid membership just 2 get the other 90% of the game AND a cash shop lol
its ment to be either pay to play OR cash shop
not "lets be greedy and have both to milk our players for every dime we can"
another like tera is blade and soul (but BnS has slightly better graphics )
companys like gpotato which have the whole pay to win thing really take a great mmorpg and cheapen it to the point of unplayability with there whole cash shop item "upgrade protects" anyone with $5000 to waste can have +10 everything instantly
i suggest all player boycott those companys and show them that we "the players" are not sheep to be milked of our hard earned cash
