Game update.
It was released, bombed as a P2p / subscription game and is now B2p until / if they ever go to a F2p model. They still have the 7 day trial for people to check it out.
As far as buying goes, you can pick it up for $9.95 (got mine at GameTap with a bonus item included) and can play without a subscription for as long as you want.
I was one of the Beta / Stress testers way back before launch; it had bugs, not alot of quests and your estate (kind of like housing) looked like tract housing in R/L.
Since launch; they've added a bunch more quests, your estate actually looks like a villa (which needs repair, but some of the quests you get are one's that fix the place up), and it still has some bugs and is a bit laggy. Think AoC for the spec's and your pretty close.
For what you get for $9.95, it is more cost effective than alot of offline SPG's. The fantasy element is better described as a mythological element with faun's, centaurs and your choosen God talking to you and giving you some quests.
The starter island is on rails for quests, but once out of there it goes more sandbox style with quests scattered all over and exploration points. Best part is the minion system which allows you to build up a squad of troops to command.
Not alot of people play now a days. Saw a high of 4 the other day and 1 player was questing in the same area I was today. Best way to play would be for you and a few of your friends to get together and all play together.
For those that might wander that way I'm Alolos on the Bacchus server.
