Anyone here playing this? I normally don't touch MMORPGs, but a couple friends of mine got into it while it was in the beta. I went ahead and downloaded it - and the servers went offline about 10 minutes before my downloaded finished, since the beta was officially ending the day I decided to join. But a day later it was back, and I think you get to play for a certain time/until lvl 20 for free.

The graphics are surprisingly stylish. I just love the way the models look and move. The game deals with your "family" that comes from the Old World into the new. Instead of getting to control 1 character, you can actually have up to 3 in your party. I'm not sure how banding together with another party works - for the moment, I'm running around with my fighter, musketeer, and scout, and fighting things for myself. My only complaint so far is the insane respawn rate. I'm not sure if this is only in the newbie areas, or throughout the whole game. Anyone know?

Also, the dresses are pretty.

Well, from what I know you make a party of people all related by a family name and go out err... doing things.

My source didn't really play it very long. It's from the guys who made Ragnarok Online. I'd go with Pirates of the Burning Sea if you're looking for a many-faceted sailing-teh-seas MMO.
