Pretty awsome price, but I fear this will be a fail anyway. I have to admit I know nothing about the game, but then again that's also what makes me think this way.

You know I've seen a bit of this game...I think it may find a nitch it falls into, I'm certainly interested.

That's an odd comment to make about a game you know nothing about.
The marketing on the game could have been done a lot better to give it more profile though. Especially as it isn't a bad game. Then again I might be biased as it's a Dutch company developing it

Curious, have you got to try it? I signed up for the beta but no go so far.

I'm not sure one is allowed to say he is playing in a beta version

I know it sounds arrogant. But over the past few years I developed a pretty good sense of what might or might not work. Of course that does not mean I could not be wrong on this one... after all it's just a feeling anyway. The game simply never really managed to catch my attention. Taking into account that rather prominent releases like AoC or WAR were not as successful as intended I'm not convinced that Spellborn will be able to get a lot of subscribers. The timing isn't overly brilliant either since WotLK was just released last week. Nonetheless I wish the team of Spellborn best of luck because more competition is exactly what the genre needs.

Well honestly I hope you are wrong.
