<div class="IPBDescription">thoughts, names, servers, blah blah</div>Character name: Travis Wuerthen (hehe, got fancy with my last name)
Server: Cassiosomething, it's the first server on the list (US WEST)
So far I'm level 5, but zomg I'm LOVING this game.
It's simple to get into, it has guns, it's more future day with guns. They don't look like a pistol/shotgun/rifle, they look Sci-fi, but then yet. It's based off of the novel by Richard Garriott.
This game also has one of the best game soundtracks that I've heard for a while. Anything from mellow to lets blow this baby up with gusto appeal to it! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/asrifle.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::asrifle::" border="0" alt="asrifle.gif" />
You can also switch character classes w/o making a new character too. I'm not fully aware on how it works, but involves cloning your character and starting off from a clone point.
When I get to a higher level, I want to join a PVP clan. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
Sadly PVP is voluntary, unless if you are in a warring clan.
If any plays or has tried playing it. Go ahead and post here. Give out your char details and server as well!

- The game is third person/overshoulder or is it possible to use first person view?
- Autoaim?
- Does taking cover behind things have any impact on gameplay?
- Does it have duck/prone, strafe, and jump like fps? I mean one can dodge bullets/attacks? <-- I want that!
Even if it doesn't have all of the above it still looks quite interesting (taken from youtubes on gameplay)
- The game is third person/overshoulder or is it possible to use first person view?
<b>A: 3rd Person and Overshoulder (when doing zoom), no FPV</b>
- Autoaim?
<b> A: Yes and no, so far I'm fighting things that don't move that quick.</b>
- Does taking cover behind things have any impact on gameplay?
<b> A: Yes, it works to hide your butt and to avoid enemy fire.</b>
- Does it have duck/prone, strafe, and jump like fps? I mean one can dodge bullets/attacks? <-- I want that!
<b> A: Ducking (Yes), Prone (no), Strafe (I think yes), Jump (Yes). For dodging attacks, not too sure yet, need to play more, but for getting behind cover, yeah, it helps you dodge. lol</b>

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, I totally forgot somehow. There is GIBBING in this game. Though it isn't super gib like Quake or what not, but you can "OVERKILL" an enemy. Either by constantly shooting at them when you see a "red skull" above them or running up and doing a melee combo with the red skull.

You lock on to badies and from that point only sorta have to point in their direction to shoot them. You can't dodge as missiles will track into you, you can't tab select (I think) but other then that it plays like any other MMO.
Again, unless they changed it a lot since late beta it also lacks polish (this is what killed it for me, MMOs have to have polish or they are nto worth it.)
