    For this alpha Legendary might not be worth it, Vigmundr in our guild can breed ox's and get higher tier than the founders pack. However at launch getting a day headstart over the $50 pack, and having ox/mount to go with it is actually pretty big.

    they do allow upgrades, so you can always get the $50 now and upgrade if you like the game to $100, I've read somewhere that 24/7 closed beta will begin shortly after this alpha. There will be a wipe and fresh start

    We need more Xen members!!! This game takes the coordination and discipline that Archeage required. Perfect for Xen!!! Also we could use an application and a forum section so if current Xen members don't join we can at least officially recruit :)

    We could dominateeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    This game sounds pretty interesting, but has two elements that I can't fucking stand.
    a)Cartoonish graphics
    b)Top-down viewing angles

    Maybe if we gather some more momentum down the line I'll give it a try, but dropping 50$ right now on a game that didn't make a good impression on me doesn't seem a wise investment.

    Do any of our members stream the game when playing? Maybe if I watched it for a couple of hours I'd change my mind.

    I can start streaming it daily actually. And yeah that was my exact hesitation when looking into the game however after playing it, I hardly notice and it really fits the game and how the game play/style is setup.

    I'll start streaming daily but it'll be after work.

    Yeah everything as far as the mechanics makes this seem like a winner. guess we will see if people will be accepting of the top down/graphics or not. If it plays decently on mobile thats a worthy tradeoff.

    I played this game some the other day. I really feel it was designed for a mobile platform. Honestly I think they should take it, yet I haven't seen many MMOs work on the mobile front yet.
