If you click the Register now link it actually takes you to the proper game website and you can read abit about the world. I am scouting for a review/desciption of wtf the game is played like…

I agree entirely Dave. I was bored at work and curiously followed the link. A swift run of the cursor around the page (point and click adventures, wahoo) and only that sole ‘register now’ link led to a swift exit. You want me to play your game? You tell me about it before I give you any information.

I’ve been avoiding 2Moons because the website basically has a “REGISTER NOW” button and that’s it. Um, I’d like some information. I don’t care if the game is free, I don’t want to be counted toward their 5 million until I’m at least serious enough to consider downloading the client. :P

Or do you mean one that doesn’t suck really, really bad?

Jim Rossignol: I agree. I think we’ll see a 70 million user MMO platform (maybe something like what Raph Koster has talking about), but all those people will be playing small, sharply targeted games.

I’d have liked to try out 2Moons for a bit, but it’s not obvious how someone from outside North America (like me) would be able to do that at the moment. Pity, takes away from the post a bit.

Woah, I was talking about a Pokemon MMO with my friends recently – we figured, pretty much as the article implies, it’d shatter any records.

I think the first 70 million MMO won’t be a blip in the U.S. or Europe, if you want numbers why try to please that crowd? I feel like I’m stating the obvious but someone has to. It won’t necessarily appeal to anybody here, and it’ll almost certainly be free to play.

Who cares? It’ll be competition for television, something else to get butts in seats to look at commercials. Culturally relevant, perhaps, but probably complete crap as a game.

Naw, the greatest MMO of all time will be Super Mario Online. Players will choose between being a Toad or a Koopa, and will have epic Mario-style battles across an enormous Super Mario World-esque map.

Slightly picky, but WoW does indeed already have 10 million users…unless that’s not what you meant.

Great game. I’m usually more of a FPS gamer, but I dig the RPG’s. I’ve done all the Final Fantasy, I’ve played DnD, LOTR, WoW (for a few minutes), needless to say I’m not a noob to the domain. Although still in open beta, this game has huge potential. I myself have a level 78 Segnale :D
I strongly suggest those who like MMORPG’s (and free ones at that) to try it out. I do hope you are open minded though, most people go “But I can do this in WoW and I can’t do that in 2Moons”. Enough of that BS people, don’t expect everything to be like your favorite game. Id like all FPS games to be Unreal Tournament, but they aren’t, I live with it. Otherwise, if you are open-minded and you love games in general, and RPG’s specifically, give this game a try! I rate it a 8.5 on 10 (Open Beta 8.5 on 10.)
