Okay, so I pretty much whored this in the lame-reply thread, but I'm going to do it again here, because I think I got ignored, and this game is too kickass to just let slip.
Here's the deal, it's an MMO set during the age of exploration, during the early colonization of a new continent. Craziness ensues here, because you can use guns and cannons all sorts of badassery, along with your more traditional magics and swords, etc. Furthermore, it's made by the main designer of RO, so you know it can't completely fail. To complete the weirdness of the game and setting, you don't control one player at a time, you control three. It reminds me a lot of some unholy offspring of Guild Wars-esque combat and micromanaging and the FF12 party system.
Here's the kicker though, K2 (the american distibutor) finally decided to not be an idiot, and just recently made the game free to play.
It weighs in at a pretty hefty 3.6gigs, just for the installer, but it's well mirrored, and I got it downloaded in about two hours. As a note, the graphics kick serious ass, without requiring the greatest computer known to man.
