[Review] Sevencore: Tread with Caution

Sevencore is the latest entry into the gPotato stable of MMOs. It is a game that has promised a lot as technology meets fantasy and more. How well does it live up to these promises? Find out in our latest review. Played Sevencore? Tell us about it in the comments.
Unlike some of the more recent games out there, Sevencore doesn't make use of fancy graphical tricks like normal maps or ambient occlusion. The game still looks decent though, with characters and environments sporting detailed textures. I didn't have any issues running it with everything maxed out (and anti-aliasing turned off) so most of you folks out there with decent rigs shouldn't have any problems too.

gPotato
Potato potato, what's the difference? (That only works when speaking though...) All their games are of the same blend
"We need men who can dream of things that never were." - John F. Kennedy
And for MMORPGs ever so true...
Potato Potatoe. Tomato Tomatoe. By adding the e you change the inflection on the a. This has been your english lesson for the day.
Oh and this game seems kind of lacking in the graphics department, even for f2p standards.
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.

It is rare to see them hand out such a bad score. I will stay far far away from this game.
It's gPotato. What did you expect? They are the most horrible MMO company in existence to date.
I thought that after the whole Allods Online debacle people would have gotten the message to stay far far away from this company.
'heartbreak'? Really? A bit dramatic surely?
That aside... people actually play gPotato games? I guess they must do... probably the same people on the forums telling how super awesome for me F2P is.
I was thinking of giving this a shot a bit ago, primarily because I'm a glutton for punishment and I want to give as many different MMO's a shot as possible. Yeah, spent a bit of time looking into it in some depth (beyond the normal news blurb) and knew exactly how this game would play out.
Lo and behold, I read this and it confirms everything I thought. A shallow, half baked Asian import that's half functional and not worth the download. I can't wait until the remainder of this generation of Asian imports die off and go away so we can get into to importing some of the next-gen games.
Bless, Kingdom Under Fire II, Black Desert, all look awesome, and hopefully have the gameplay to backup the impressive visuals. Here's to hoping that we can end this era of terrible Asian imports that plague the MMO scene, those leftover remnants from when F2P MMO's were almost all shitty and companies could get away with releasing shitty games.
LMFAO, I had to read about 70% of the article, until I saw "gPotato"... then I quit
Never again!
The problem with Allods was not gPotato it was the Russian developer, Astrum Nival, enforcing the FOD and cursed weapon systems that players went nuts about and rightly so, they went out of business because of this. The game was then picked up by Mail.ru and has since recovered its playerbase in Russia by sorting out the initial problems. It gets regular updates now and is not so CS dependent.
