"Right now, almost all of the major systems are in the game, playable and working, and we're mostly just iterating on things like how skills unlock. That's something that we've been play testing a lot - we're close to alpha and we're looking for feedback."

Great i especially like the mention of other competitive maps and games, that's really great they are not stopping it at one map and game type. And i liked the way they talked about dungeons, D&D dungeons

I'm really looking forward to the PvP in this game. It could all turn out to be candy-coated lies, but I hunger for PvP in an MMO that doesn't require:

a) The ability to mash buttons at the speed of light

b) A faster internet connection than your opponent

and c) An overpowered paladin on your team

Skill should be at the core of PvP. I look back at Roman times, when gladiators fought in the arena. They sure didn't have healing spells or "purples" to help them out;

it was all about the skill.

The World v World PvP is something I'll definitely participate in; Three Servers competing sounds absolutely epic on a massive scale, and will be something that everyone can have fun within.

But if the competetive and tournament-based PvP actually gives players an equal chance of winning, then this game will have my loyalty until the MMO industry burns down.
