So now black prophecy is live what do people think? I have played a fair amount and like it quite a bit. think they made the right choice going subscription free however as the level of polish isn't there yet.
If anyone isn't aware of black prophecy I've made a short gameplay video at the link below. Apologies for the lack of hyperlink, I'm posting from mobile.

Its for U.S servers. If you still want it I can give it to ya but I am heading to bed." @The_Laughing_Man said:
I'll take one! :D "" I have two beta codes for this game. "
I tried it as well and while it is anything but a bad game, I'm just not feeling it. To be fair, I only played about an hour or 2, but what I did play was just 'meh.' If anyone out there is looking for a space MMO that's not Eve then by all means, give this a shot, but IMO it's just not anything special.
" Well i'm in the beta now, so far I like it, its closer to freelancer than I thought, simple controls, quick movements, fast paced combat. Everything Eve Online is not, it seems. And its really beautiful to look at for a space sim game, lots of colors and shades. "Eve online has quick movement and ships.

" @The_Laughing_Man said:It is not. Not at all dude. I played long enough to get a carrier. And I had lots of super small and super fast ships. You need to get used to the controls but they can be very quick movements. And Yahtzee is more or less popular because he slams on games and says stuff like that (Im the one who updates his page with new videos!)" @demonbear said:Like Yahtzee said once, EVE Online is an Excel Spreadsheet in space, nothing more.

Graphics look real nice, when you're flying in a frozen asteroid field and you shoot your lasers, as the laser passes a frozen asteroid you can see heat reflection(?) on that asteroid. Black Prophecy seems to have a slow start but thankfully it speeds up a bit after the training. I know it's an MMO, but god damn it, there's a lot of grinding in that game. "Go kill 20 specific enemies" OK Done "Go kill 50 more" *Phew* Done, what now? "Go kill 100 more of that same type of enemy" FUUUU.....
