Keep this thread updated with your ongoing reviews. Sounds fun but I didn't want to drop a bunch of $$ on a founders pack if I got bored in a few months.

this is a cool game, cant wait to get past the login queues haha.

Never had these in KR.

Well, this game has had plenty of time (years) to gain hype over here in the US, and as far as I know, there's only one server at this point (Mushin) with any sort of queue. I don't know if queues on other servers will re-appear once the F2P players start coming online, but if you're a premium member then you get to pass them up in queue.

There was also a large calling for people to stay on Mushin since it was one of the original CBT servers, and a lot of people kept talking about how they were going to stay there once the game was live. Mushin at this point is probably going to be a premium only server since there is still currently a 1000+ person, 3-hour queue at this point and it's only premium members--F2P players would probably never get in if it stays like this.

However, this still doesn't change the fact that there is no auto-kick AFK timer, so anyone can just sit in the game for days on end and take up spots on the server. If they ever get around to implementing an auto-kick AFK timer then you can expect the queue to be much, much lower.

I'm pretty sure the game officially launches in a few hours, and when that happens the founder's packs go away. The game has been out for a few years over in Asia, so there's plenty of information about it floating around if you're looking for more.

People have been playing the F2P versions in Taiwan, China, and Japan with sub-par English patches for awhile now (the Korean version is still subscription-based, I believe), and this is where the hype for the game comes from since it was easy to access it while it was only available in Asia.
