You can't blame me for this one, Haemish spotted it first. I hadn't heard of it or, at least, took no notice until they sent me an invite today. I am "betatester_0"... how about that! (I just replied to the beta invite email: "FIRST!" I couldn't help it. http://www.cabalonline.com/Play it. You know you want to. It'll be... umm... fun?

Dear Signe:
You are evil. Or I am bored. Either way, I applied too. We'll see what happens :P

Nah, I looked and it appears to be more rubbish from Asia. They sure like everyone to look the same, too, don't they? As usual, nearly no character customisation, although it's not as bad as Lineage.

check out what else ESTCorp does. Yes, this seems to be their first game. But they have a catalogue of other widgets.

It seems that to kill the bunnies right outside the warrior town, you must die several time and then make sure you attack the same bunny as it's hps will get lower and lower. Sheesh... I made a warrior so I could insta-kill bunnies! I lasted 15 minutes.

They should have named this one: Pretty boys with swords.
I'll just never understand the association of cute with hack-someone-apart-with-a-pointy-weapon. Avatars should be grizzled... they should look like they've actually had blood on their hands without rushing to wash it off. Noone should wear puffy shirts! EVER!

I scored a six, to be fair I can't imagine that anyone would be able to score better on a similar quiz with white people asking if they were French/German/English/Russian ok perhaps a tiny bit better who knows... I thought the NA beta hadn't started yet everyone is already getting ahead of me in the grind?!! OH NOES!

I think I got a 9 on the asian quiz...though when I got the answers, some of my mistakes were glaringly obvious ofr some reason, when I looked back over the pictures and connected the people with their "real" ethnicity.

Asian insecurity about all looking alike for the win. I can't tell a German from a Frenchman either, unless I can hear them talk.

I got the Japanese people right. Except for one. I mean really, I can't tell Africans (as in actual people from africa) apart from eachother either. Or people from the pile of countries in eastern Europe. What's it prove? Lack of Exposure. Or perhaps a rack of exposure.

Or perhaps people from the same geographic region don't somehow magically look different just because they drew a border somewhere and took up different languages.

As a matter of fact I swallowed one of these about two hours ago and the explanation is that it is, in fact, my hand.

The picture on the synopsis page has Yuna, Lulu, some guy from FFTA, The Crow, a hobbit, the bad guy from FFXII, a tall dwarf, Sephiroth, an angel, Saruman, and someone from Shadowhearts. They are apparently not going to be niche.

Maybe they stopped at a certain point? I don't know... you are literally the first person I've seen who hasn't received one. Try again with a different email or something? Anyway, this game is SO much like Lineage it gives me ancient flashbacks. I am very nearly almost sort of enjoying myself. Tons of loot, lotsa money, so many monsters that no one has to fight for them... at least early on. If it continues to mimic Lineage, there will be camping special mobs at some point. It's so Lineagey that I'm tempted to call the mobs, mops.
