stopped by Selavi's place on sunday for some coffee, and i had a look at Horizons. and it looked good. for someone who has played as many RPG games as Selavi (think we are talking hundreds), this game seems "right on target".
first impressions - all my personal opinions
good:
- the school-system (you can change "profession" as you go)
- the graphics was good
- macro editor in-game
- shop system (putting stuff in shops for sale at a price you determine, or just sell it to a vendor if you please)
- house/town building
- everyone can team up with everyone (no level requirements)
- very good chat system
not so good:
- way too much tradeskilling
- the way the game handles lag is very bad
- char movement looked weird
- no PVP
these are just my first impressions after looking at the game for 1 hour, so shouldnt be taken too seriously. just felt like sharing some thoughts.
