I mean to have this game, even if it must be burglary.

It’s basically that.

And if you refused to join a guild, you’d miss out on lots of the cool non-combat stuff like building villages and so on.

Cruz, it is possible to level all the way to 70 in WoW solo as well, but you’d not be doing any of the lower level instances… maybe Conan would be similar? Plenty of Solo quests to get you to 80, but not doing any of the grouped instance dungeons?

I hope it’s not like that though, because then you’d miss all the cool dungeons.

Regarding the speculation about being "guild heavy", read this interview.

You can also solo the game all the way to level 80. We have tried to make the entire experience so that you can play alone whenever you want to, but the biggest fun in an MMO of course is the interaction with other people.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about an MMO that allows you to skip group content altogether, as I wholly agree with the second sentence in the quote.

Well thank you now you got me all giggedy-giddy again. I so do hope this will be made of pure awesome and finally a valid alternative to the borefest WoW has become over the past month.
Concerning the guild heavy endgame, atleast for the PvP siege parts they are planning to implement a sort of mercenary feature where people can lend their sword to the guilds participating in said siege battles. Which sounds oh so perfect imo. You get all the good stuff without having to completly devote all your time to some stupid guilds policy.

The video didn’t touch me, this game looks boring. Another hyped game which soon will be forgotten (or sold for ten bucks).

Garth – Funcom has big Guild fans and big PvP fans – they’re building end-games for both, I believe.

Bobsy – no idea.

KruddMan – it’s anything but standard MMO combat.

That won’t play with the firefox in ubuntu. Even with the latest flash player. lame.

I’m really hoping to like this game… but I haven’t seen any clear videos of the gameplay in action that have made it look good or fun yet. All the earlier combat sequences seemed clunky- just standard mmo combat with mo-capped action. All the trailers that make it look cool use really quick cuts

Can you still have your arm lopped off permanently?
