The Chronicles of Spellborn

I just found this game today and I have to say it's looking awesome. Check out this video. It's 250mb but its' worth it. www.tcos.com/downloads/xfer/The_Chronicles_of_Spellborn__Azrael_&_Raznilof_Part1.wmv

I'm surprised that I haven't heard more about this game. I mean the pvp is looking pretty damn good. It looks like you actually need skill to play it. They have this skilldeck system which you can see on the video.

Best of all you can try it for FREE. That's right, free.

It launches tomorrow in some parts of the world. Unfortunately I have to wait for one more week. Go check it out and post your experiences in The Chronicles of Spellborn forum. I want to see what people think of it.

Lol, I sound like a shill or a viral marketer but I assure I'm not I'm just excited because I get to try something new in a long time.

Well, this used to be a Triple A 'upcoming' MMO a year or so ago. Something happened along development (hopefully some fanboy can come along and explain). So this game went from a Triple A -> to 'Darkfall' level.

Latest trailer is proof of it. Thats why the hype just died. No one knew when this game was coming out and stopped following it a long time ago. Back then even I was hyped for this game.

Its concepts do sound interesting however and I look forward to the trial. Checking out that vid.

Im thinking it was because people got into beta and found out how the only thing different about the game was the combat system and it wasn't a good combat system.

I think the mainstream hype died because TCoS is a honest good game. There is nothing to argue about it. The devs have not claimed anythingspecial. The fans have visited the development team and talked.

Everything is so great. And human nature hate when there is nothing to fight about. Example.....Darkfall or the AoC launch.

I'm not totally sure why the hype died either but I can say that they have totally messed up the server system. For example they released the game to some European countries and didn't include others that are also in Europe (UK to name one).

Anyway the games out now in retail version if you live in the right place, go check the website for the countries that its released in.

Did you try it? What's the problem with combat system? Looks pretty good in videos but you never know until you try for yourself.

Hopefully they didn't like the combat system because it was too hard. I would love to see a game like that. A game where you need to practice for weeks before you can master a specific build.

Well, I'm going to try Spellborn no matter what people say. I believe what I look in a game differs a lot from most of gamers and hopefully Spellborn can deliver that.

One thing I've been trying to find out is what kind of PvP battles they have? Arena, open world, what? I haven't seen any info on that yet and it worries me a little bit.

 I only play sandbox games. Looking at videos, spellborn is not a sandbox game.

Need more games like Asheron's Call, Ultima Online, Eve Online, Star Wars galaxies...did I miss one?

oops

I just got my CB key <<<TODAY>>> and apparently CB is over.

Fucking ridiculous.
