Just played through the beginning scenes and tutorial, as well as that first battle quest it gives you.

Ho-o-l-ey shit is this awesome.

And keys are available.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

I noticed during character creation, there's a slider marked "Chest" that's disabled for Lann. Is it enabled for Fiona?

Yeah, that's her "rack" methinks.

Damn, the Gnoll Chieftan kicked my ass. First hit caused about 700HP in damage, and I couldn't get up in time to dodge the second. Maybe get some backup for it?

I've been wondering about the key thing. Is the key you get from someone else counted as one of the two keys you can send out to other people?

I'm all out, sorreh. Unless you want to fight lordnincompoop to the death for his.
Better make it 1v1v1 cage match.
I'd like to join the key begging line, but please service the people that have been in it longer than me first.

Well, I had pretty much steamrollered over everything else so far, including the stuff in that particular run. Maybe I should have chained it down first, before slamming rocks into its head...

@Xotes: No, it doesn't. Give a key, and they get two new keys to give out. Kind of like the movie Pay it Forward, only without (spoiler:)the kid getting stabbed to death at the end. Well, probably without it.

This looks decent, but the fact that the physics combat system (something I've wondered about being put into MMO games rather than being gimmicky in single player ones) is the exception, not the rule (they've said themselves: there's going to be traditional elements to the combat, and the physics parts are going to be here and there) makes me wonder if its worth looking into.

Every game these days can come up with a decent looking trailer in five minutes; doesn't mean they're worth playing. And whenever I think Nexon, I think Maplestory. But it's just another in their long line of free cash shop k-mmorpg's, may be worth a shot if they've refined the formula.

I'm not sure what you mean. The physics model they have here is pretty decent. You can, for instance, smash a stone pillar(preferable by throwing an enemy into it, but I haven't quite pulled it off yet), then pick up some of the pieces and slam or throw them into enemies. Sure it's not like Far Cry's physics engine(pushing a barrel down a cliff, causing it to roll into and kill enemies), or anywhere near what the now MGS game is supposed to be capable of(slicing a watermelon, or your enemies, into different-sized pieces), but for a free(2play), it's pretty good. It reminded me a bit of Devil May Cry's fighting a bit, only it doesn't have something like running along a wall, stabbing an enemy in the head with one sword, and using that enemy to perform a wide circular cut on several others with the other sword. That might be a little too badass, though.

You're right to think Maplestory when you think of Nexon. It's the only when they themselves devoloped for sure(probably also PopTag, but that's MS related I think). Not sure about Dungeon Fighter or Combat Arms(which was made using a 3rd party engine), but Mabinogi was developed by devCat, as was Vindictus.
