    Anyone a fan of sandbox games? I'm looking forward to this game. Classless, full loot, Pvp, player-driven economy, and available on PCs (and Mac for you weirdos) and mobile.

    Forgive me, I don't know how to post a video from youtube on here...

    So it's an isometric cartoony casual Darkfall?

    Even though it's a skillless ability-masher with poor camera angle and a joke of an art style, I'd still consider trying it since it's apparently F2P. However, it doesn't seem like it would be of much use without at least a small zerg to back one up.

    I can't help but be slightly curious about this.

    More like another try at an Ultima Online remake...

    Or a cheap Runescape clone.

    Everytime I hear people and their "remakes/clones" while looking at the same genre I do the picard forehead slap and say "no shit" to myself.

    What game isn't a remake anymore? They're all clones nowadays.

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to it if anyone would be interested. I like sandbox games and sometimes I don't have the time to play hardcore anything.

    Frankly, one way or the other -- it's an inferior version of something else.

    As for this being a supposed casual game: don't be too sure. It seems to be based around constantly (re)grinding for gear and defending the stuff that you build 24/7. And zerging.
