A lot of gameplay vids on the tube if you want to check it out.

It's basically the western adaptation of the F2P Korean Mabinogi Heroes.  Uses the source engine.  Your typical combo hacker/slasher like 'Divine Souls' but likely with more polish, physics, and features with a slight touch of reality and better graphics.

You can scrape keys off of massively or mmorpg.com or I have two extra that came with mine.  PM me for them.
Havent seen an NDA yet but "OB" opens on the 15th of Sept.  Maybe one will pop up then, but doubtful.  So likely we may speak freely.

Enjoy!

Looks interesting, I'll check it out.

I've already given my two keys away to the SA keychain, but I'm sure a key chain can get started here. For each person that gets into the beta that launches on the 15th, they receive two keys to give to others. Those two people each receive two keys to give away.

I have a key sitting in a PM box in another forum for later.  I'm gonna get this up and running tonight.  If I get additional keys I'll let you guys know.

[Mrbloodworth]

I would be interested, that combat looks fun, the rest. who knows.

[AutomaticZen]

Rock out.  First come, first served.

[Nonentity]

It's basically Dungeon Fighter Online, but with third-person hack and slash combat. I played in Closed Beta and at E3.

YMMV, but it's kind of fun. Very polished UI, but playing alone is kind of lonely. Netcode was not great in closed beta.

[Ghambit]

I have one key left

Scroll up/down for perhaps more keys from others.
Additional thoughts on this:
I played quite a bit of "Warrior Epic" and I always thought that a strong studio with a better vision could take a similar type game much further, which was pretty much the sentiment for every single other WarriorEpic player in that game. i.e. they were ALL waiting for Vindictus and those who were testing it verified it was a much better game.

Sooo, I'm looking forward to this.  BUT, much like WarriorEpic - the game blows ass w/o a good party.  And when I say good I dont just mean skillwise.  You need people who are good at breaking the monotony of repeated quest runs, as this whole game is centered around gear churn.  Essentially a dollhouse game.

Thank you Ghambit.

To return the favour to others,  here are two more keys:

[Chinchilla]

What are those codes for?  I just setup an account w/o one.

[Draegan]

Some sort of beta starting tomorrow ont he 15th.

[UnSub]

You can set up a Nexon account, but need to the code to register for the beta afaik.

Extra key for anyone who wants it.

/Spoiler it so lurkers and key-googlers dont grab it.

[Draegan]

Edit: 

[Dtrain]

I have one for the folks who need it:

[Chinchilla]

Gonna need one. I'll see if I can log a key from work. Just not sure where to log it in my account. I'll check after lunch.

[NiX]

1 to give away.

[Ghambit]

Servers are up... patching now

I'll be on TS3

[Chinchilla]

1 to give away.

Got that key registered!  Thank you!  Where do I get the free ones to give away so I can hand it out to whoever here needs one?

[NiX]

Once you register, you should get an e-mail with 2 more keys in it.

[Draegan]

This game is fun.  I like it.

[Ratadm]

I grabbed somebody's key in here so here are mine:

[Trippy]

/Spoiler it so lurkers and key-googlers dont grab it.

That doesn't help

[Tearofsoul]

This game is fun.  I like it.

For how long tho?

[waffel]

Used this one. Thanks.

[Draegan]

I played for an hour.  Then I made dinner.  Grouping with people turns the game into a slideshow kinda.  You can still play decently though.

[FatuousTwat]

The crafting and the combat are the only compelling things about this game, but they are enough, and I'm having a lot of fun.

+1 to more than 2 people making the game a slideshow.

Which is why I will be giving my keys to the first two people to PM me.

Probably won't be until later today that I send them out (Unless I hear from people in 15 mins), because I'm headed out and was setting this to download while I was gone.

Apparently grouping uses peer to peer so other people can lag you out.     Except for you're the host/party leader of course.

[Shatter]

That combat is way too exciting and fun.  They really need to tone it down to FFXIV speeds so I can get my ironing done while I MMO

[taolurker]

I only received on PM<<<< so I still have a single code available... If I haven't received a PM overnight (again with possible delayed response from me) I will drop the code into the thread here for the google spammers and lurkers to possibly take.

Probably won't get to fire it up until tomorrow, but the download size was relatively small, and averaged a pretty decent speed for the install.

[Ghambit]

Do not forget to list your screename so you can y'know, be found in the damned game.

[Chinchilla]

I got 2 keys in my email. Just PM me for them.
