Gatheryn invites all to open beta

I'm extremely interested in this game, but I'm wondering if they actually have even a vague release date for it? Or if it's going to be f2p?

Well, I just installed, logged in, made my guy.

For those that have long wanted a character with a fat belly? This is the game for you. Might not be next-gen graphics but you can make a fat belly so there's that going for it.

It's definitely beta, though. The "options" are a "feature coming soon" which I found hysterical. If I had a complaint from the first five minutes it's that since there are no options there's no way to invert the mouse to something similar to every other MMO I've ever played.

That said, it does look kinda cool in a "this looks like the steampunk area of Second Life" sort of way.

It appears to be a unique setting compared to many other games I've played.

Don't know why but despite the lackluster graphical horsepower I'm still keen to play. Oddly, there's no NPC waiting for you on login which more than most games invites the player to just explore on their own.
