potential new player

[ROK099]

im considering getting the full game, i play the live demo and throughly enjoy it. but im wondering if the extra subscription money is worth it? and if i will get more content.

[beatrixkiddo]

You'll get a LOT more content than the demo has. If you download the expansion, you'll get even more.

[bertha]

Plus no porn! :D

[Elley]

Definitely get the game! It's the best MMORPG on a console at the moment. $19.99 for the disc and another $20 for the expansion. Best $40 you can spend on 360 software. You'll get sooooo many hours of playtime on this puppy.

Get it!

what about population? how mny people play roughly, and what universe

[Vent]

Since you're on the 360 server, the population will be pretty healthy. As for the universe people play in. There's an indicator in-game that says how many people (in number of stars) are in every universe.

[Maskim]

Look around and you'll find the game for less money. Circuit City's got it sealed in the clearance bin for either 8.99 or 9.99.

[ROK099]

but what about the monthly fee? $10 is a bit steep when stacked on my gold membership. do i have to have a gold membership to play online aswell?

[Coldbrand]

You mean those moronic people spamming about nude pictures aren't around in the full version? I just purchased PSU myself, waiting for my tax refund to become available funds and I'll soon be online.

When I was playing the Beta myself I despised the damn idiots in lobby 2 spamming. Are those people from the real servers or are those far more populated?

[BMA]

You do not need gold membership to play this online.

[ROK099]

cool, i dont play many live games anyway. i think im gonna go pick it up

In the demo you only see demo players, and no, those kind of people are not in the full game.

playing with 10 year olds will be fun...or so I heard.

[Maskim]

Even if you keep your gold subscription to LIVE, total cost is $15 a month comparable to the majority of pay to play games on the market. However, instead of getting to play WOW for your 15/month, you get PSU and all the benefits of gold LIVE membership.

Bottom line, it's a fun game, and it's pretty cheap. Low cost to buy the game, plus low monthly cost compared to the competition. It's also a lot more casual playing friendly than most mmo's.

[Shinko]

why not. like i said to the other guy it can't hurt to try and if u dont like it then stop.... its only 10 dollars wasted it u don't like it

[ROK099]

true, how accepting of the community of new members? ive played the demo an all but ive tried games like WoW and they aremt to accepting of newbs

[Maskim]

I've not noticed any problems in groups I've been in, nor have I ever kicked someone for being a noob. As long as you either bring scapedolls, or wait patiently for me to finish clearing a room before you expect me to drop a moon on you if you die, I don't care if you've been playing since launch or just started yesterday.

[landman]

Meh, it is not very difficult to lvl now, just lvl a little and then go to White Beast, plenty of parties of all ranks to join

[ROK099]

Yeah i think ill buy the game, maybe the expansion, any advice on race/class or equipment. my demo char. is a cast hunter

[Maskim]

I play a cast fighgunner, and plan to go fighmaster when it's released, so my opinion may be a little influenced in favor of the choice you've already made. Really, though, it doesn't matter at all. You'll see these 'Beast are best' threads, and 'Humans suck' and the like, but as long as you are a capable player, can dodge, etc, race choice is negligible. All races can do all jobs, so pick the one you think looks best, or has the abilities you like. I like the cast's SUV weapon, some people prefer the beasts' 'HULK SMASH' transformation.

What's going to affect you is your choice of class. Not that any are bad or unplayable, but that depending on how you like to play, you need to pick your class accordingly.
