Open beta for A Tale in the Desert IV starts tomorrow

I played ATITD 1. It's endless crafting, which is good or bad depending on who you are.

lol... this looks like something that was on the N64... It looks terrible, who would waste their time playing a game that looked this bad?

Hmmm well after reading obscure game information, on their website, it sounds a bit intriguing. I don't need swords and kills and levels to be interested in a game, however with a game as complex (or open) as this one appears on the surface I don't think giving me a 24 hour period to try it out and then charging me $13.95 a month to play is even close to generating enough of my interest to even bother with downloading and setting up the client.

When you consider how much content Wrath of the Lich King delivers for $15 a month (sure after you buy the game) and how many well made F2P games there are out there, it really is completely out of touch with reality to expect a large market to even try out your game, yet along subscribe.

These devs have been under a rock for the past 7 years I think. Well, maybe after 8 months or so when they have to reconsider their revenue model and either substantially lower their sub rate or convert to F2P I might give it a whirl then...
