Gaming Nexus and GameShark have previews up of Sacred 2. <a href="http://www.gamingnexus.com/Default.aspx?Section=Article&I=1889">Here's Gaming Nexus first</a>:

<blockquote>But “single-player” is also a tad misleading when up to 16 players (on the PC) can drop in and out throughout the course of my travels. In fact, Sacred 2 is heavily-geared towards seamless multiplayer interaction, allowing extra players to pop in and out on-the-fly, with monster populations and stats scaling up and down behind the scenes, playing up to its player-character competition. Sacred 2 is prepared to match any challenge you and 15 others can throw at it, allowing you to save your progress by any means necessary. Not only that, Ascaron is working feverishly to make ad hoc connections happen for online players. You might be sitting next to someone on an airplane, and be able to jump into a multiplayer match with them right then and there, as quickly and easily as other portable gaming devices like Nintendo DSes and Sony PSPs. We’ll see just how ironed-out this feature is by the time the game goes gold, or if they had to ultimately abandon this incredibly rare feature for RPG gamers.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Sacred 2: Fallen Angel takes place 2000 years before the original. War is brewing among the various races of Ancaria, over the precious resource called T-Energy. Once a source of light and hope, years of bloodshed and ruin mutated the T-Energy into a malevolent force. How this story ends is up to you. Choose the Light Campaign and save Ancaria from total chaos, or plunge it into eternal darkness by playing the Shadow Campaign. If you don’t want to follow the main storyline choose Free Mode. This gives you immediate access to the whole map, a whopping 22 square miles—fortunately you have several modes of transportation, such as teleportation, boats, and mounts to tool around in this enormous world.</blockquote>

Bonus: Read the GameShark preview for his comments about Sacred 2 not using "the familiar WASD keys". *cough* Somebody didn't play Diablo. *cough*
