Good evening, everyone -- unless it's morning or afternoon, or something else entirely. I trust everyone is having a pleasant time, for the most part.

I would like to ask you all a question: What is most attractive to you about this game? The mechanics, the combat, the opportunity to experience a whole new world? Perhaps to meet new people, or escape from the real world. Or maybe it's something else entirely?

I thank you in advance should you choose to entertain my curiosity.

all the new friends i've made :)

[catarou]

With this many people from different places, I'd say it's much less difficult to find at least one person to bond with.

Finding more than one is a precious thing, isn't it?

[conjecturecycle]

Definitely the immersion. While there's been some experimental vr already, nothing at all on this level before.

[catarou]

It is extraordinary, isn't it? When I was much younger, I couldn't have imagined this sort of experience would be possible someday.

Hey poll buddy!

I don't know if I have an answer just yet. All I know is that I'm having fun.

[ ...though she's wary, given everything that's been happening lately. ]

[catarou]

Great minds think alike, you know. Perhaps you inspired me.

I am as well. It's much different from what I usually do, and while this is far from my first game, there is something special about it.

[curvaceous]

Oh? What's special about it? First MMO, first social game...?

[catarou]

MMO and social game, yes.

It's fascinating to see how everyone creates their own style. I'm one to always encourage creativity, so it's wonderful to see.

[curvaceous]

Well, good news! You're not the only one! This is my first of both, too.

You know, since you've said that, why don't you join my guild? It's all about personal style :) And if you wanna party up to get the best looking stuff, this is where it's at lol

it's hard to pick honestly

obviously the combat is fun and all, and the community has been pretty cool so far

but i'm liking the freedom of what you can do the most of all

it doesn't hold your hand either, which is something i can definitely appreciate [and take advantage of...]

[catarou]

The freedom is very attractive, isn't it? You're able to do what you want when you want to, without having to adhere to any limitations.

If it were restricted in any meaningful way, I would have to leave scathing criticism for the developers.

Making friends. And exploring the world, I think. It's all so new, so it's exciting.

[catarou]

I very much agree. There's a certain novelty to it that makes it a unique and very special experience.

May I ask what your favorite exploration is so far?

[insinning]

That's hard to choose. Maybe my first one - Hidden Advice's Night Moon. It was all so new then.

[catarou]

I can certainly understand why. The first time is generally a very special thing, no?

[insinning]

[ Sir that wording ]

I think so. Not that I disliked any other runs, but that sticks out to me the most, still.

pvp is fun!!!!

[catarou]

I've not had the opportunity just yet, but I may need to indulge very soon. It sounds far too exciting to pass up.

[dissimulative]

thats right!!
it gets even better when you hit level cap
so you have more skills to choose from!
whats your class?

[catarou]

Now you've gotten me even more excited, as I don't plan on holding back.

Shadow Warlock, wood element. And yours?

[dissimulative]

steam gunner!
thunder!
if you ever wanna party up
let me know!
when you reach the level cap
we can have a match too!

[catarou]

What a wonderful offer. I shall certainly have to take you up on both offers.

Though, I'm terribly curious now: Is everyone here this generous?

[dissimulative]

like everywhere else
we have the helpful ones
and the trolls
but id like to think im being helpful
so feel free to fact check with me

All of it! I love seeing what new things that lie ahead of us.
There have been some things that have been pretty scary for some people but I'm still excited to see where it all will lead us.

[catarou]

Scary, you say?

Might I inquire about those? I'd rather not be unprepared if such things happen.

[tot]

They weren't necessarily stuff that happened within the game, but something that happened to another beta tester.
She wasn't able to log out on her own.
Then there was someone who passed out as a result of something that happened within the game itself.

[catarou]

[ .... ]

That's incredibly serious.

Have the developers been made aware? If these things go unchecked, no doubt it will become more serious.

[tot]

I'm not sure about the developers themselves but we've certainly reported it to the moderators.
Their usefulness of it all has been dissatisfactory for some.

So far, I would say that it's been meeting so many interesting people to talk to here, and the immersion that comes with doing so in a game like this. It really feels like we're all in the same room together sometimes even though so many of us are currently in different parts of the world, you know?

[catarou]

I believe I know what you mean. It fosters deeper connections than those of the usual online relationships, doesn't it?

Meeting others, exploring together, seeing each other and interacting... It is wonderful.

[fatalitea]

Yes, exactly! I've been having a lot of fun with getting to interact with others here because of it.

What about you? What's your favorite thing about this game so far?
