I was looking around for this thread to give the game a bit of a bump, but it looks like the thread has been locked. Probably for the best, I derailed it pretty hard. If you'd like to read up about Forsaken World (and how it compares to WoW), definitely check out that thread. I've also copy/pasted my screenshots from that thread into this one, spoilered below.
Here's some screenshots, but honestly they don't do the game justice. They've taken every system in WoW, analysed what makes it good/bad and refined it. For once, someone actually beat Blizzard in topping a genre.
Went fishing through my screenshots and found some more good ones to upload:
Cool hat.
My first death was to this boss! >_<
There's this carnival instance where you don't actually fight any monsters, it's just a series of mini-games and puzzles. This particular one required us to simply stay in the circle as it travelled across a room full of lethal gas.
Another puzzle in the same instance. There are two platforms. Adds will randomly spawn on the platforms. Each add has a weight of "1". Each person in the group weighs a certain amount depending on their race. The NPC will call out a certain number, and we need to stack people on each platform and kill off as many adds as necessary in order to meet the required number. So for example, if there are 5 adds on 1 platform, and 3 on another, and he wants each platform to have a weight value of 8, we could put a Stoneman on platform 1 (weight: 3) and 3 Elves/Kindred/Humans on Platform 2. This would give us a total of 9 on platform 2, so we'd have to kill 1 of the adds. Pretty fun puzzle.
Cool vampire chick~
Wiiiiiiiiings~
Token WarCraft grunt!
Wicked mounts.
More random stuff below.
