I was a little skeptical at first after having played so many mmos. I was playing WoW for a long time, but before that I missed the pvp gameplay from lineage 2. Castle sieges and open world pvp was the most fun I had in an MMO. Now there are castle sieges in Revelations online, but there are many other aspects to the game.
I got away from WoW because of the raiding grind for gear. Well in Revelations online the best gear you get is from crafting. YOu can still do daily quests, bgs, arenas, pve solo dungeons, pve trial dungeons, fishing, ect. But what grabs me the most is that the best gear comes from crafting. This game has endless amount of content. When I log in there is just so much to do you don't know where to begin. You can go at your own pace to which makes it more of a game then a rush to the finish. Playing this game I don't have to rush to max level to raid for gear. The game does have raid dungeons and regular dungeons but you run those to get materials to craft gear. In the end it all comes to crafted gear as being better.
I know a lot of people blast the game for being F2p and P2W etc. but for me the game is fun. Also if you join a guild it is for a sense of purpose other than for obtaining castles. In your guild you build a base with your guild, gather resources, give contribution, get skills etc. It makes joining a guild purposeful in a good way. I personally have only played the game for one week but thus far i'm having the time of my life. I'm proud to have found an MMO that has so much fun content that I enjoy logging in and it doesn't feel like a chore.

Once you hit level 20 everything starts to open up. The more you level more things to do just start to open up for you. Revelation Online gives you choices of things to do and that is really all I ask for in a mmo. Its not the next big thing but its a nice little game that should holdup unless the game goes pay to win or gets take over by cheaters.
To me its a mix of Age Of Wushu, Perfect World, Blade And Soul and Aion.
Coming from Lineage 2 my self I am looking foward to the pvp, castle sieges and guild drama.

You also say that joining a guild is purposeful. That's in contrast to most MMORPGs where a guild is a chat channel and little more. What exactly makes guilds purposeful in Revelation that you couldn't just as well do solo?
These are serious questions, and I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm merely trying to find out if I should look into the game more once it's out.

He is actually sort of right and sort of wrong, there is nothing required from dungeons to craft the gear that cannot be purchased from vendors with the correct standings to them.
The blueprints come from a weekly monster chain of 120 quests (you get a random gold blueprint every 40 quests), so 3 a week
these crafted then just require basic materials from the wild - ie gathered normal way.
What the dungeons offer is a stop gap gear (which again can be purchased,, but only purple and not gold)
All items that drop in dungeons so far and ive jsut hit 49.7 tonight, just mean you dont have to do the standings grind
Their crafting whilst it has flaws, it actually far better than your average themepark , its indepth, and actually encourages team work, no single toon can make what you would require because of the (dreaded) labour points, however, each toon on your account has its own seperate labour points and regenaration, so you could be an alto-holic and still manage to craft happily
This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game where of course you're welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online.

The more i read and talk to people,i get a real sense there are a lot of naive people in this world.
People that do not understand what the developer is up to or ripping them off,they do not understand the game design and just blind even to obvious advertising,thinking some website is legit claiming a game is good.
A LOT of people out there need to wake up,you'll get run over and exploited otherwise.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
So fabulous.
1. Open world without loading screens. Is it like Vanguard ?
2. Fun action combat. If its anything like Tera ?
1. I can say it's similar. I never played Vanguard but I can confirm the only time you are in a loading screen is during the entrance to an Instance or if you teleport somewhere. Loading isn't super long either.
2. The Combat in my opinion is very much like Tera.. IF YOU WANT IT TO BE. You can actually change control styles from Point and Click like Lineage 2, to Tab Targeting like traditional games, or to Action Mode which plays pretty much like Tera.
They just wish they could too.
