It's, as of now, a 50$ cost to actually BUY the game, but it's 15$ a month on top of that. The exact same as World of Warcraft, actually. When you buy the original game you get a free 30 days(month) of play time.

Pre-ordered the Digital Collector's Addition after playing the beta last weekend.. I managed to try out the Warrior, Slayer, Berserker and Sorcerer. Out of all of them I played and enjoyed Warrior the most and got him to level 15 in a day before the beta ended that night. Got to the first "instance" and fought the boss. The game can be REALLY challenging if you don't time your dodges/blocks good, which I couldn't do that well against the huge boss they pit you against at level 12.

Going to be REALLY looking forward to the beta's I get guaranteed into from pre-ordering in the upcoming months along with the actual release of the game.

For anyone wanting to get into future betas, I believe IGN has a promo each time a new beta comes out that you get in if you're on IGN Prime. (Which, you can get a 7 day free trial for so it's pretty much a free code into the beta)

Screw it, bumping this. Game went f2p about... 10 days ago. It's fantastic. If you like MMOs that aren't "I CLICKED A GUY AND MASHED SOME BUTTONS AND THEY DIED" (WoW and the like) and you're looking for something that rewards skills, this is the game for you. Anyone who has played Monster Hunter will feel a bit at home here and have a bit of an advantage. Seriously though, play this. I can elaborate on stuff a bit more if there's interest.

Started playing with a group of friends again about a week ago. I'm the only one who really stuck with it. Will update the OP when I get around to it. Highest person is a level 29 Berserker on Lake of Tears.

I played this game on release but got bored of it due to the repetitiveness of the questlines and no one to play with.

Really? Just how much like Monster Hunter is it? I've been really interested in playing a Monster Hunter-esque mmo for quite some time, seeing as playing MHFO is too damn difficult for gaijins.

The combat is one of the closest things you will find, and once you breach level 20 (60 is max) you will constantly have quests or you can do so on your own time, to hunt down very large monsters that take minutes++ to kill.

downloading this now, mainly because it reminded me of Monster Hunter, also cause it looks decently awesome.
