I seriously can't believe someones not posted this. This has to be the most ambishious MMO I've seen yet. Some of you may disagree, but the amount of customisation and player control this MMO has is just staggering.

Character creation is too good for words, its everyones dream avatar editor (well i hope so at least). From skin colour to tatoo design even to hair length this is just incredible. You lot have to go take a look. Its... argh too good.

I've played GTA 4 online.  I know the kinds of people who play games like this.  They're not fun to be around.  I bet the community will be borderline insufferable.

Gotta remember, that the majority of people who play GTA 4 have had it bought for them and are usually 12 years old. This shall be an MMO where people will prolly have ot pay for it themselves. Thus pruning douches out.

Soo many MMORPGs comming out and unfortunately unlike most games I really can't have more then one going at a time.

Originally I was going to go for Champions Online but I am not sure... Then I considered DC universe online but I still ain't sure.

Then The Agency (I think that is its name... the one where you are one of two secret organisations incharge of world peace) stepped up to the plate.

[Nilocy]

Hmm, I do like blanket statements very much. But MMO's are completely fine if your playing with friends. So I don't really see much need to interact with the douches.

Hmm, how come your saying it'll appeal greatly to morons. I have alot of friends that want to play this, and they're not morons. I want to play this, and I'm not a moron.

Elaborate plox.

[inaluct]

You and your friends (all of whom may be morons) find this game appealing. You know who else will find it appealing? A lot of other people.

Including morons.

[Nilocy]

No, i was asking why it would appeal to morons, not for you to repeat yourself.

[Neonivek]

The reason you pay monthly for MMOs is because they have to host a large server as well as provide updates, events, and new content.

When a MMO fails to supply that then you are being ripped off.

A few MMOs out there are basically siphoning your cash and giving you less in return. I always like to use City of Heros as the Exemplar of where your dollars should go to.

There has to be something in this formula I don't see though. World of Warcraft has a lot more people and likely requires less Server space (but lets assume just as much) per person. Yet it updates less and contains less content per expansion then City of Heros did with its standalone.

[inaluct]

Hmm, you asked me to elaborate on my statement. Hmm, also, you apparently don't know how to use question marks.

Hmm, the game has the same "lolol im a badass gagster" theme as GTA. Morons love that stuff. If you can't tell what I'm talking about, you really need to step back and take a detailed look at that website.

[Servant Corps]

How about being the cops, inaluct?

Also, I like the original arcade version of ABP, where you play as a traffic cop and can choose between hunting down mass murderers...or pulling people over for speeding. And you have to refuel from time to time otherwise you risk your car running out of fuel. Man, that's the ultimate freedom.

Why can't we have an MMORPG where we play as traffic cops?

[inaluct]

LOOSE CANNON BADASS EDGY COPS WILL BE EVERYWHERE

[Okenido]

The question is how hard it will be to make a private server.

And thus being a game that you cannot actually own; only rent.

You also only rent beer. Hate that too?

[Nilocy]

I <3 stabs at my writing style on this forum. Gotta love them.

Anyhoo on to less derailing points. What do people think of the games character editor? It looks purty nice.

I can keep beer forever if I keep it perfectly cool and never drink it.
