I downloaded it last night on my iPad. Honestly... it's amazing.

I don't play WoW, although I did years ago, but this is just nuts. It is basically a 100% clone.

It runs PERFECTLY from what I've seen. Anyone else try it?

Its a MMORPG? How the hell are you supposed to communicate? Type on the ipad? I love my ipad, but even an email is tough.

Yes its an MMORPG... I mean, its like identical to WoW.

And yes there is chatting just like in WoW... I doubt people will be talking constantly but it's there. (Chat seemed active fwiw... but then again there are like thousands of people logged in so I guess thats expected)

Gah, of all the times when I don't have WiFi access haha. I'd like to give this a try!

Anyone else try it and have an opinion on how well it plays?

EDIT:

I looked this up on the app store and you can buy currency!? That really turns me off of the game.

Bump-

Anyone else been playing this? When I made the OP I was super impressed, but every time I pick up this game I am more and more impressed.

Everything about it is pretty amazing. The sheer scale of the world is a feat in its own... I mean, you've got this whole world, with VERY few zones, and hundreds of people running around. I've literally seen no lag at all (video OR network).

Anyone else been playing?

Really surprised you guys aren't all over this. Maybe cause its $7? I'm still blown away, haha.

I got it, but I haven't had a chance to try it. I still don't like them selling currency. I have a feeling that while the game is billed as a "WoW clone" that it will be nothing more than something fresh to experience for a few months and toss for a real online gaming experience.

You're surprised we're not jumping on this? It has a relatively high buy in cost for a phone game, and on top of that it's subscription based.

two words: F**K THAT

$7 actually isn't that much. It all depends on how you end up using it... I mean, I paid about the same for Chaos Rings when it was on sale and I believe I've sunk about 11-12 hours into the game. Renting a movie may cost about the same if you divvy it up.

You do get 3 free months with the game, and I assume it starts when you actually start playing the game.

I guess it depends on how much you use your phone for gaming. I don't take public transportation much and don't have any reason to play long games on a phone. $7 is a lot for any mobile game IMO, and anything that requires a monthly rate (even though it's just a $1) just rubs me the wrong way on a cell phone.

I think the difference might be that I don't really like playing games like this on my phone and the only plan was to try it out on my iPad. I played Chaos Rings exclusively on the iPad, and I can't imagine how annoying it would be on the iPhone... the screen is just too small.

That's true too. Sometimes I forget there's a bunch of people who have those things :D

I primarily play on my iPad 2. It runs well on my iPhone 4 but I wouldn't recommend playing with that little real estate.

Must have if you have an iPad and like MMORPG's, though.

As for the currency - Yeah, I agree that its a bummer there are mini-transactions. Although it doesn't appear to be game breaking. As long as things can stay balanced I'm OK with it.
