My only concern is that it will be very hard to generate substantial hype for the launch when your following a halo game and closely proceeding Assassin Creed 2, and a number of others. (yes i know, consoles do not neccessarily compete, but when your looking for headlines and "what to watch 4" type articles, the timing seems very very odd).

The mmo crowd is rather unique, and there doesn't appear to be any other mmos coming out at that time. Aion will do fine as long as NCSoft gets off their *** and does advertising. I'm already seeing tons of web banners.

Nice little features... also I just noticed why Elysium sucked so much in the Arenas last weekend ... your Elyos *point and laugh*

Yah, I certainly agree that this is a great time for a new MMO to hit the market. Early enough to avoid the Diablo3 rush (which I know isn't a true MMO but will still compete for time and money). I just hope they are able to get thier product out front with a good advertising campaign, since there will be many high profile titles surrounding its release. I personaly though launching over labor day week was a great idea, since many would have free time to really get into the game, but I guess we just have to wiat a few extra weeks.

Someone is upset that after we teamed up with Ravenwolf we turned on them and took over the arena :3
Most Ravenwolf members I have met seem pretty cool though. I look forward to seeing your members in game!

Oh and just an fyi for anyone reading this, we are dual-faction, meaning we have both elyos and asmo members. We are no longer just elyos :P


BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! We have a new widget design coming soon, so keep your eyes out for it in the next couple days!
