Yes thats right its a pretty bold statement but i honestly feel its true. First off let me tell you my background to review this game. I have had two lvl 50s in the beta one of which was the first after a wipe. I have had plenty of time to explore the majority of content in this game. First off let me say this game didnt start out great it became great . It became great because of the people who worked on it they listened to the beta community to release a fun and fair game. I have played and beta tested alot of MMOs anyone else who has will know that developers rarely listen to the player base like they did in mxo. Whats this have to do with anything? I have faith that they will take this game in the right direction. They did it in beta and they are going to do it in release. The astounding rate at which they release non buggy new content is pretty shocking. This game last September was was an absolute shell after watching it evolve to what it is today i still wonder how they could do all that in such a short time . Another strongpoint for mxo is the community staff. In my personal experiance most community staff have been harrasing inmature and unwilling to help on even the smallest of issues. I have experianced the exact oppisite from MxOs community staff. For example back in the beta i was targeted by groups that were trying to impersonate mods and get people to give out credit card info or in my case delete my charecter due to its hig hlvl. I had two mods spawn in on me and breif me on the whole situation than send out a annoucement to the whole server to warn people. You just dont get that from an MMO usally ESPECIALY in a beta. Now that were paying what can we expect if we were treated so well during beta. Now on to the actual gameplay. Mxos gameplay is revolutionary to the mmo system. The best way to describe it is as a mix of all the things that have worked in mmos while replacing the static stand there and click a button combat. Interlock is amazing. If you would like to see some example of what can be done in interlock download the free anti heroes video on radiofreezion.com i think you will see what im talking about. That was all gameplay footage that a good freind of mine filmed and gives a good overview of how fun and engageing interlock can really be. As far as exploits go i have never seen a game that released with so little. Storyline for the first time i have seen actual movie chars walking around in game talking to people. They are controlled by a skilled events team and it makes the game feel ALOT more alive. At times some people have been lucky enough to be contacted by morpheus niobe or seraph themselves in our case the merovingian, The events team did a very good job at this i cant wait to see what else is in store. All in all i feel this game is going to revolutionize the genre. It has its bugs but honestly at the rate that staff has been commited to fix them i would not worry about it. If worse comes to worse you have the free period to try this game im sure after doing so you will be hooked like i was. Psycidelicos
