OK, so...this is a new MMORPG coming out next year that my and Christy are kinda infatuated with. Enormous character customization, interactive environments, a GM team that builds land, content nad quests ont he fly, and most importantly, a heavy emphisise on roleplay. Www.heroshall.com and www.play.net/hj are the best sites to visit. Reason I'm really posting here though is cause I want to apply for the Hero's COuncil: So if you guys take a look at the game, and have an interest and thoughts and ideas, I'll sign up for this. Been pondering it for a while, and thinking I'm gonna go do it.

I'll check it when I get home.
Any idea when it get out?
You know if some people from here jump to that game, I may follow too, seeing that the main reason why I still play L2 today is because of you guys.
Yet I still have some goals to attain in L2 the main one being to get to level 62 and have a complete A grade set.

*Has a look* ... Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Awesome! *Dances* Kick ass! This looks awesome. Very very cool. Love the look of this "Wyr System", and the clan system seems fair enough, as does the PvP. I like the idea that a clan is a family, more like the traditional sense of clan, and that seems to be encouraged. But the fact that role playing will be rewarded... Hoorah! ;D And the screen shots are pure gorgousness... The races could do with some work, but they're already moving enough away from standardness for me not to grump, and that's my only, very slight criticism of what I see so far. If this turns out to be as good as it looks I'm definately in.

From what I've read this sounds like a very cool game. I'm excited about it already.

Might be interesting, as long as there are ordinary humans on race list. There are, right?

Two different kinds of Humans. I think Barbaric and civilized to put it simply. Old Blood Humans are normal Humans, while the Tog are a result of some magical disasterous and are a more tribal, barbrian race.

You might have some competition there, Es. Back when I played Ultima Online for all those years my main character was a tailor, and I loved it.
I've looked at screen shots of character customization. Jeez... do they have enough options? It'll take half a day just to make my first character because I'll have to play with all those sliders and such.

We will just make a clan called something like Abyssal Tailors and start a chain of clothes shops around the world!

Having done a little more digging around about this game here's a few comments:
I've heard nothing but possitive comments and hopes from role players, they seem drawn to this game. That's all good to me, the more role players in one place the more fun to be had. The best feature of this game will hopefully be it's community.
Most of the negatives I've heard have been about instancing... Now in my experience the main type of person who wants no instancing at all is the type who likes to sneak up and kill you in the middle of a dungeon/quest etc, so frankly they can piss off. Instancing also means that even though their will, inevitably, be botters, you wont have to deal with them. The downside is not meeting someone by chance, or rescuing/being rescued in such places, but to get rid of gankers and botters I can live with that. If everywhere outside towns is instanced that will suck big time, but if it's instanced like WoW then bring it on baby, that was one of the few good things about that game.
My one huge worry is pricing. If anyone has up to date info on how this game will be paid for by the consumer I'd love to know, because all these rumors of tiered pricing seem like a very bad sign to me. That is one thing guarenteed to put me, and many others by the looks of things, off what looks to be an otherwise great game from the get go.

Tiered pricing....possible, that's how they do their other games, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. The way it works in their other games is if you just want to play the game you just pay bacsic price (like 14 or so a month ) and play the game. If you want tons of other features that really aren't necessary to the game, just extra fluff, you pay another 20 a month on top..and if you're really hardcore and have nothing but money on your hands you can pay the extra ten on top of that to be onyour own private server along with everyone else who's willing to pay the money to be there. these people do get new items and q uests before everyone else....but what they get eventually trickles down to everyone else so again no big deal. this is if as I assume theyre doing it like their many mushes they have. This model has been done before in Everquest (they had the stormhammer server for 60 bucks a month) and for those who were really hardcore it was great for them, but it didn't really affect gameplay on the average level.
