I haven't touched a free online MMO in a year or two now, and they were something that had become irrelevant to me.
...but hey, $20 is $20.

I think its great that a company would have such faith in themselves. I hope people don't abuse it though.
Abuse it? Show me an MMO where you get to level 50 in less than 3 hours, then we'll talk about abuse. If people abuse it, i'll be a bug in the first place.
I'm playing it, and have been playing for a while now, The game is actually really fun, its more of a Final Fantasy MMO than Final Fantasy 11.
I'm going to buy 100 characters for $5, then sell them all back for $20! It's foolproof I tells you, FOOLPROOF!
Browsing through their site, I'm actually becoming quite intrigued by this game. I don't know how well it all translates into gameplay, but their developers are very good talkers.
This is kind of breath-of-fresh-air that MMO's need. If a big name developer were to innovate like some of these free-to-play's in a more focused, higher budget kind of way, than the MMO just may see the creativity boost it desperately deserves.
Usually I will pass on a game as soon as I hear free to play, because I assume it's some money making scam where you have to buy items with real money to even slightly enjoy the game. I'm going to give this one the benefit of the doubt and give it a shot. I'm downloading the 2 gig client now.
Anyone play this yet? Is it enjoyable? Is it going to keep me interested?

The catch is that you actually have to force yourself to play until you reach lvl 50 while hating the game. People that are that masochistic probably should be paid to go sit in a room without sharp utensils for awhile...
Jim, your slipping....
No one is going to play a game they hate for weeks (most probably months) to get to level 50 just for $20.
It would just mean they where stupid.
I thought you had more intelligence.
P.S. Also I bet it is one of them trick bets too, where when you explain why you did not like the game, they simply reply... 'how come you got to level 50 then and not stop playing if it is that bad'. Then if you say 'simply for the cash' they will say it's void for that reason.
P.P.S. TBH, I bet they want to boost the population of the game and would gladly pay it to peeps who get to level 50 simply for making the game look more 'busy' so others can interact.

That sounds like a little too much effort for $20. I think I signed up for the beta of this game once, and never installed it because it looked horrible on screenshots :(
I know, so superficial...

The way it works is that rather than the standard MMO fighting system where you click on an enemy and wait until it dies, clicking an enemy sends you to a seperate battle screen where the fight takes the form of more of a JRPG battle. I.E. your party stands on one side, the enemies on the other side so you're using something like a ATB system which makes combat a hell of a lot more enjoyable.

This is originally a Korean game, and its rather popular in the PCbangs, so even if hordes of people sell back their characters, I think they have the coffers to afford it. It's doing pretty well in Asia, so I think it may catch on, albiet slightly. Good promo.
I wonder how much kick-back in monetories Destructoid gets for each one of us who signs up via this site?

it made me curious- I installed it and played the first couple of missions- it is kind of cool, definitely more jrpg if you like that kind of thing- I think when I have more time I will play it more since it the one thing that usually irritates me about this type of gampeplay isn't the mechanic, but that most games have like, 45 minute cutscenes between everything you do
