I'm always amazed by how much musical talent there is out there that never made it to the bigtime. My home town is chalked full of excellent musicians who are struggling to pay their bills while our radiowaves are filled with the musings of .... those with a lesser degree of skill and creativity.

I suppose the same can be said for MMO style games. The most poular titles seem to be the least revolutionary while gems like this seem to go nearly unheard of. The amount of depth available just in the newb tutorial is so amazing that I decided to purchase the box before even finishing it. This game is simply brilliant.

Anyway, I just thought I'd express my satisfaction. It's been a long time coming in a string of dissapointments in other titles I have tried.

/ agreed :) It´s an unpolished gem, that needs a bit of finishing, but a gem nonetheless :D

I personally blame the herding gene that seems to dominate the actions and choices of many.

Just a note...no box purchase necessary. :) There is no box/client/setup/initial fee, just the monthly subscription.

Yeah I know. I got the box for cheap so it was worth it for the extra 45 days free :)

The box trial offer is not compatible with the Ruins of Silan trial. Have to pick one or the other, not both, I believe.

That's interesting. I was given the free 45 days and access to the newb area. Oh I think I get what you are saying....after the 45days I start paying regardless of where my character is (newb island or mainland)
