This game is already being played in South Korea, and soon will be unveiled in the U.S. You can read more about it in Wikipedia.
I have seen this game played in Beta, and I am impressed. The graphics are exceptional, from armor and character models to beasts and monsters to water effects and buildings and landscape. I haven't yet seen the higher character levels and zones of the game world, so I can't say if the "end game" is robust.
Character creation allows for a huge variety in your avatar's appearance. I made a rather convincing halfling, while my friend created a tall muscled warrior and then a dwarf-like cleric.
I found the storyline's beginning to be mildly interesting, although a bit narrow as all characters begin as one of two races; this could be an issue for immersive roleplayers. I am pleased so far with the crafting system; later on, the crafting system should allow players to choose (within limits) the style and color of the items they create.
Kind of hard to get exited about a game when you try to go to their website and get a "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable" error... just saying. ;-)
Also, I'm not paying 50 Euro just to try the game, and I couldn't find any info about a trial version of the game.
Yeah, there's no trial yet, though there was an open beta period before release. I believe the trials should be starting in the next 3-4 weeks, though.
I'm also playing with a few people on Lumiel as Elyos. Our 'Legion' is Eternal Flame. Most of us are in the 20's now, but I tend to play a lot of alts so I don't advance as quickly as some can.
I'll have to look out for you guys. We run a small little guild of our own, Empyreal. We only have like 6 or 7 active members and several alts. 4 of us stay in the same level range. Highest is 33 while my wife and I are 32 and our cleric is 31.
I'm currently playing an assassin. It's pretty fun.
