Ok so I gave Archlord a bit more of a try. There aren't a lot of class options or race combos but the pvp ain't half bad. It's not full pvp looting ala Darkfall and it's not even as big a pvp looting as Shadowbane but the fact you can randomly drop something you are wearing or anything in your inventory, kind of meets them both in the middle. Granted pvp doesn't start till lvl 30... At that point you are fair game FOR ANYONE. At least on my server you are o_O.

I like the pvp from what I've seen. Sure, people with item shop items are going to do a little better, there aren't a ton of people who are fully twinked in cash gear, most just have an item or two here or there from what I've seen. I like the guild system, simple and to the point. I think there should be player controlled towns..but thats just me.

The fail is the slow leveling. Its taken weeks for me to even break the 40's, and real endgame stuff doesn't start till what, 80+? O_O. Grinding can be alright when done well but damn..

I'll stick with it, see how it goes. If the pvp holds out at higher levels, it could be awesome. Or it could be more FAIL. We shall see..
