I see you had a similar experience to the one I had while playing in their closed beta. This is what I posted after playing. [quote]I got into the Arch lord beta (its 2 weeks from launch FYI), and its a piece of shit. Why am I posting it here? because I also played the GW preview event, and it looks like Arch Lord is just a half assed ripoff. I cant even believe their hyping this game up. Besides the fact that it doesn't look all that great, the controls are crap, the movement is delayed and choppy, its a complete gankfest after lvl 6. If this game came out 5 years ago, I would understand, but today, its just completely unacceptable. After playing games like WoW, GW or really any other decent online RPG I couldn't go back to playing a game like this. I wouldn't play this game for free, and there's no way in hell I would buy it and pay monthly for it. Unless they have made some serious changes in the past week, this game is garbage. I hope no one gets scammed into buying/pre-ordering Arch Lord. Its just horrible. [/quote] I guess they didn't make those serious changes and launched the game even though most of the people in the closed beta agreed that it was horrible.

I beta tested it....for around half an hour. All hopes i had that lasted that long vanished very soon. A completely craptastic grind with NO GMs during the beta testing and no answers to any support mails or bug reports or whatever. The worst run beta i've seen ever.
