Look interesting to anyone else? Yes i know many here will complain about paying for early access but this game looks like it has some promise and reviews are pretty good.

heard the budget might be too low to finish polishing the game

Well for 20 bucks i can help that budget. If i get 20 hours worth of enjoyment out of it i call it a good buy. Watching a guy stream it atm. He fell through world once but /start command reset him like /rewind does for us. He pvp'd some random guy in woods and had a archery battle was fun to watch. Going to give it some more time watching streaming but i might give it a shot.

I've been following it a little bit and it looks a little rough around the edges even for the old school crowd. You see it a lot these days with early access games. It could've been a good game if the developers waited 4-6 months to put it in EA. They don't wait though so now by the time you have a game worth playing the population will be gone, making it not worth playing later either. I'll still keep an eye on it and see what the reviews say, but I'm skeptical.

needs wizards

Looks interesting but I can't think of a single example of non-target mulitplayer combat I've found enjoyable (in an MMO setting). They do this ostensibly to make it more skill-based, but I think it's an extremely limiting design decision and it typically pigeonholes combat gameplay really badly into a narrow set of playstyles and behaviors.

Also I suck ass at any kind of FPS gameplay. Bad reflexes and coordination.
