I'm an accepted beta tester now, too
I hope that the game appeals to casual players, too, without having automation like auto walk (for quests) or ingame bots like ESO/JD.
A few shots from the FW Site:

Bard:



Assassin:


Warrior (I'll most likely be an Elf warrior )

I think there is Auto walk thing, but no bot like in JD

Auto-walk is farking awesome imo

And yeah I just received my beta key, gonna play as soon as the cb comes out

Yea, I guess it's okay, but it makes questing a tad boring... Like in ESO the first 20 levels you basically just accept quests, click on the objective, finish quests, and repeat the process.But the graphics still look farking awesome
No cookie for my screens?

*giefs cookies*

There will be auto walk

I guess we'll create an awesome guild again hej?

already in one =)

Intresting that I actually have started reading anything related tp FW and guides too, normaly I just mess around and try what every button does ^^

Same here, been checking around alot of videos and screenshots too, been watching 30 min gameplays on youku etc.

nvm, if you are Unique.

Hey Hej, honest opinion, how does it compare to Allods?

I"m waiting for my beta key

No idea yet, but I really hope it will be better.

I guess I'm gonna feed the trolls

He also mentions Allods' combat system on page 3

The quests seem to be pretty awesome, like in one quest you have to be in a party with a female ingame character (which again is most likely a male in the real world >.>)

Moar cookiez plis!

Thanks for the great info, I knew some stuff, but that guild thingie, I didnt think it was for housing and that too but just for battle. Pretty awesome. The main thing that caught my eye for this game was that the players control what happens in the game, I read a interview where they said that if you log off for a month then log back in the place you logged out from can have a complete different look.

I am so damn excited about this game, I want it naoo!!

edit: and curvekiller, you dont go away to a NA server this time like you did on Allods, you stay with us Europeans!!
Join Aurora

GODDAMN YES THATS AWESOME.

FUCK YEAH CANT WAIT TO PLAY THIS.

Me neither And I've heard the maps is fairly large so I am going to use the auto walk thing and when I hitted the cap i'm going out for exploration =)

Signed up but, reading some reviews and player testemonies they say that its almost identicle in controls and game mechanics to Perfect World (not surprising right) but seeing Perfect World Entertainments track record of hashing out a new MMO every week and slapping a new title on it this doesnt bode well.

WHERE'S MY COOKIE YOU FACKING NAB YOU FORGOT IT AGAIN

Look at my list of features. They don't only have a new graphics engine, it's also their first MMO specifically developed for the western market.

I also added that post to the first post.

I GIEF COOKIES AGEN NAO! TAKE THEM COOKIES!

NO PICTUR! I NO BELIEFZ YOU!
sorry for spamming lol, but FW is worth a bump

Signed up, but not expecting anything special. Most of those features will likely turn out to be gimmicks anyway.

Have they anounced closed beta release day yet?

Nope, but the Forsaken World E3 Trailer says "Closed Beta this winter" >_<

fawk dat noiz

I wanted to do some hardcore FW this summer

lame that PWE cant give us a date, it is already in CBT3 in china >_<
