The Chronicles of Spellborn recently went into open beta. Normally, I would want to try it out but with this game I just cannot gather any interest. Am I missing something? From their webpage, the game does not look like anything special.
The primary feature seems to be a 'progressive' combat system that uses a reticule (ala Oblivion). More about that combat system can be read here. That is nice and all, but what is the overall gameplay about? It seems like you kill, quest and do instances. There is crafting, but it looks like nothing new. They separated powers/item stats from the items, so you can look how you want. That is nice, but doesn't make a game for me.
These days I need something more from a new game. WAR gave us RvR, Star trek Online will give us Star Trek, Exploration , ship crews and more, Champions Online will give us unparalleled customization and a nemesis system.
Spellborn just seems to be a slight modification on the traditional MMO. If I wanted to play a WoW type game, I'd go play WoW. Oh, and Spellborn is RMT which isn't helping its case.
I like to try out new MMO's, but can't think of a reason to try Spellborn. Am I missing something?
