Just found this cool online game that will come in the end of this year, you can see a very good art in all ways, remember me Dragon dogma but with better texture.

Looks like a JRPG set in a medieval western fantasy setting.
The graphics look nice, though I suspect it will cause the developers more problems than praise. As with all MMOs that chose to go for state-of-the-art graphics, the first months of release are being spent constantly keeping the performance of the game at manageable levels, especially for those with who do not have high-end gaming rigs. A good example of this would be PlanetSide 2 (MMO FPS), fun game but in the beginning the graphics combined with a high view distance made the game a lag fest even for us with high end rigs.

If it's free-to-play (as a lot of MMOs are nowadays) I might give it a download. However if it is subscription based, then this will be a no-go for me.

Thanks for sharing.

For the moment the game is near of the end of beta testing, and yes far view distance can decrease performance, i hope they optimized the game engine because normally the engine can handle 400 players vs 400 players to make siege attack, wait and see !

i have dragon dogma dark arisen on PS3 and it's fantastic game, you can see far without slowing framerate but when you are near of walls or others things you can see that the texture are in low res, you have real time day/night but one missing thing it's rain, wind is present.

If it's like World of Tanks then you can play with a basic free starter pack. People that get into the game more seriously can as an option upgrade to a premium account though it's not required to continue to play. I may give it a try myself eventually. Thanks for posting the links though. Leroy.
