The more I hear about this game, the more my interest grows.  When I began following it, I had no idea it would turn out to be a 'modern day MMO'.

I like the initiation test...

Looks interesting to me.. So is it a MMO or is it just single player game that has cooperative parts with PVP?

Oh and if we are thinking about getting into it which way to we go Templars / Dragons / Illuminati

Go ahead, make my day.

A semi-modern/mythological/horror MMO.

FINALLY.

Templars would fit better with our name/persona.

I like it already.

It looks as if the Initiation Test is essentially a beta application; just completed it.

This actually looks really interesting.

Looking at all three, the Dragons seem to fit with us well.

"Manipulators and conspirators, the Dragon have survived for millennia by playing their enemies against each other. Since before the first empire, though the aggression of the Mongol Khans and the ebb and tide of political change, a whisper in the right ear, a strategic assassination, alliances careflly crafted and broken - and the world eventually bends to the patient will of the immortal Dragon.

With a spiritual and philosophical approach to the secret crafts, as an acolyte of the Dragon you are taught to listen, shown how to teach others, and expected to respect the balance of the universe and to be humble in the face of fate. Yours is not the path of force, though force is often needed to clear the path.

Few know of the Dragon and their long history, and that is how the Dragon want it. You are invisible but pervasive, silent but all-knowing, and when the other secret societies have decimated each other, you will rebuild the world from ruins of their arrogance.

The Dragon is too easily underestimated, but those who do so live to regret it - or die before they get the chance."

Looks very interesting.


...And we will strike down upon those of Darkness, with great vengeance and Furious Anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

Conan was a funcom game and I loved it (albeit that I did not enjoy the people!).

I dunno the Templars are the crusaders who rid the world of evil, yet the Dragon do sound very interesing... according to the Beta test I'm best suited for the Templars so I signed up as one.

This is my shit right there.  If they can accomplish what they are setting out to accomplish.....I will HAVE to be a part of this.  The setting is something I've been looking for, for a very long time.  The premise of the game is perfect IMO.

I think the Templars would fit us best.  The Dragons are portrayed to be very diabolical and malicious in their methods.  That is not us.  We don't support plunging the world into chaos as a means to order.  We are more the type who are not afraid to wade into the chaos that someone else has created to bring order and justice.

I will be keeping an eye on this one for damned sure.
