    I saw that there are no dedicated section to one of the most anticipated MMO ever, which is weird.
    Have you tried it? What do you think of it? I've played it just a bit and it seems very well done, the character customization is incredible and the gameplay is very twitchy and fun.

    I've tried it out on launch day. The artwork and character design is phenomenal, which is obvious given who did it. The gameplay has an annoying stamina bar, which means you often have to make a stop between those 15 seconds of sprinting. The combat is heavily ping-dependent, your ping will determine how many hit it actually register from clicking. I'm not sure how I like it, since I'm playing from Asia on US server, which means I'm not very efficient with killing mobs.
    So far so good, but I would prefer them to open an Asia server now.

    I haven't tried it, but a lot of my friends who wanted to try it out said that were frustrated with it. Something about very long queue times? It is brand new though, so it will take awhile for them to iron out the kinks.

    Technically the game's been out for 3 years. I was initially hyped when they were in the creation stages of it but soon kinda lost interest until a friend told me about the US release. That being said it's alright to kill time but not something I'd put a lot of effort into. First it's a Korean based game so it's going to be really PvP focused and secondly nickle and dime on everything.

    The game has been in CBT for a few years, so the population was built up on one server, making that one really popular (wait time ~ 30 minutes in certain cases) while the others relatively empty.

    30 minutes? I heard people talking about HOURS! But maybe that was during the first few days when it launched.

    I haven't tried it, but given the hype surrounding it I'll probably check it out eventually. Are there any good resources for new players? Guides or the like?

    I have never tried playing it. How does it stand up to other MMO games like World of Warcraft, for example?
