    I'll admit that it's much more than I'd expected or hoped for. I'm officially impressed.

    So, two points, I really can't say I have a need for a Western game. It's a genre that I have little interest in. Secondly, I generally hate PvP. 

    That being said, this looks pretty cool and I'd probably play it. Also, great way to integrate grouping mechanisms!

    Looks great. Hope it's an open/explorable world, and not linear.

    Looks like ESO.

    Looks like what ESOs Justice system should have looked like!

    Reminds me of WarZ but with a western theme.

    Not that that's a bad thing. I had fun playing WarZ when it was new, before hackers took over.

    Going to nitpick a bit:
    NPCs in town seem to be very static, no movement at all shown in the video.
    The sound is off when the horse was galloping, but fine when the horse is trotting.

    Overall though, not looking bad, and if it improves from this point on, could be a game to keep an eye on.

    What stands out to me is the refund policy. I sorta need a Wild West fix and cant wait until RDR2 to get it- so I might consider dropping something. My only question is how long will the first phase of alpha last? Looks good.

    It's looking good, alpha but something to look into :)

    faq says it will include community managed rp servers and server specific rulesets, also private servers but still online. So not necessarily pvp centric. Also includes housing. Looks promising.

    faq also states open world though with some instanced housing.

    Considering the most expensive package is £60 just now, and that refund policy, it is tempting.

    Refunds up until "alpha 2" starts isn't unconditional refunds. Just saying.

    Looks pretty good, guess I'll have to keep an eye on it.

    Not that PotBS was very historical, but it is still going.

    I found this on their FAQ page:  WWO is based on the old west of the late 1800s, early 1900s, but it's not historically correct and will not reference on any real world events.

    Hopefully they'll be dedicated to the version they develop and stick to it.   If they want mostly historical (and maybe niche) great.  Stick to your guns (no pun intended :)  ) and those of us that want to play will.  As a non-Pvper I'm even interested and would be willing to go out of my comfort zone to play a good western theme game.

    I am glad the Wild West Genre is getting some love but that game is not for me.

    I knew it as soon as icons showed up all over the place in the bar telling the user what is what and who is who.

    nope..

    Yes it is.

    There are no conditions for those refunds "up until ..."

    So you don't have to make any explanations, you don't have to fight with customer service, you can just "get a refund".

    There are no conditions during that time therefore it's "unconditional. Thereafter refunds will most likely have "conditions".

    Unconditional doesn't mean in perpetuity.

    From the beginning of the video, those are hidden unless you press a hotbutton key to see them.

    Just a word of precaution; Sergey Titov might be involved in some fashion. Much of the development so far reeks of his underhanded work. Before you throw your money at this game look him up and decide if you actually want him involved in any game you buy. Not saying he is definitely, but the chances are pretty high.

    Seems to me like someone had a massive brainfart and said let's make a Wild West MMO without having the slightest clue how to make a game fun.  Definitely a very niche product.

    Might be fun for a short time, but it obviously has no depth.

    Likely high focus on PvP.

    Doing that decently well does add longevity to the game, I don't see the direction here being on PvE, even if they will add stuff to tackle in PvE players.

    That's definitely a lot more than I expected to see, and it looks an awful lot better than anticipated.

    For a long time I've felt like the genre needs more variety, and not just themepark versus sandbox, or PvP versus PvE, rather games with different settings. Seeing WWO Online in this condition to me, is a breath of fresh air. While I don't expect it to revolutionize anything, I think it'll be something that people who want something different, will end up at least taking a look at.

    Still a lot to flesh out, and I'm not going to get up high hopes (nice not doing that much anymore, paying attention to pre-release hype) but something I'll probably keep track of, and likely give a chance come release.

    Sure...it looks like it'll have a ton of PvP, and could easily devolve into a game where if you see someone, you shoot them, but....still something to keep an eye on.
