About the game:
The goal is to finish several stories. You have to fight against a lot of different types of monsters and bosses in battles to get items and experience. With those items, you're able to craft new equipment, you can aswell enhance/enchant it to make it stronger. There are four different characters (NA, 2 in EU), each character has own weapons and skills.

Gameplay, Graphics and Sound/Effects:
Good graphics (Source Engine, compareable to Orangebox), sounds from HL2, nice bg music and good effects. Gameplay might get boring after some weeks.

Pros and Cons:
Free to play
Rly good graphics for a MMPORG (compared to WOW or Rift)
Buying NX is not necessary to get good equipment
Physics

Stupid botters undercut prices
Some battles are quite hard
Lags, a lot of maintenances

Recommended Internet Connection: at least something for you to run fluently and calculating 0.1MBit upload and 0.1MBit download for each member of your party / boat if you are the host (and a fast PC to not getting loading times like on playstation one)



+ The story / dialogs, they really make the game something different
+ Awesome skills with free-camera-movement (no targeting required)
+ no skill-limit (if you farm enough AP you can max out all skills you got)
+ easy-to-use battlesystem

- not much things explained, mostly you do not know what to do with items or where to get them without google
- thus saving mats = full inventory all the time => need NX for another chest
- no account storage
- partyleaders are hosts (if their net sucks, you'll lag like hell)
- fucking addicting

The negative thing that partyleaders are hosts is the good thing for us being host with console *lawl*

It's pretty great, my favorite about the game is you can use anything in the environment to throw at enemies and what-not; other than that, the lag is ridiculous if you get someone who is the host @ 1.5mb or lower.
