I've been following Ashes for a good few years and always intended to play it as my 'next' serious time invest MMO as I loved the design concepts. I particularly liked the zone concept with the associated city growth within each zone and the trading hubs and caravans. The combat seems fairly twitchy Korean style stuff and was slightly less appealing to me, but that's just what I've seen and watched, not played. The graphics look amazing as you would expect from a heavily tweaked Unreal engine.



These days I'm not so sure I will invest in it, certainly not before launch, as SOTA and Ashes have converged so much over the years, so as people say, its getting more difficult to set them apart.



Ashes is taking an age to develop, which I guess is good, its very well funded and seems to be forever in Alpha, fairly early stage development from an end users side so it could all change over time.
