This is the first free-to-play MMO ever to catch my eye! Actually looks decent... will give it a try, for sure!

...I was just gonna ask if you were gonna try this out.

Not everything has to be a derivative of something else, yanno. Borderlands didn't even have its cel-shaded look by the time this game's art style was decided upon. I'll grant you the StarCraft thing though, what with the former Blizzard dudes.

Lame. I was hoping for a proper FPS/RTS hybrid with role-playing elements. Way to let me down.

Actually, it's from some of the Tribes guys, so I'd say it more closely resembles those games (which is awesome, mind you).

Dood, the game is a cel-shaded shooter with inward moving HUD elements...just like Borderlands...and uses a font very similar to the Starcraft font for its logo as well as offer a world that looks very much like something from Starcraft.  If it's one thing I can't stand, it's when someone lists two amazing games as a source of "this is what this game is looking like" and people complain that they are talking down about it or something.  Dead Space is basically Resident Evil 4 and Event Horizon, and it's not a bad thing.  Borderlands is Diablo meets Call of Duty, and that's not a bad thing.  Monday Night Combat is Team Fortress 2 meets Defense of the Ancients, and that's not a bad thing.  What's the big deal with someone saying "hey, this game is like this and that"?  If anything, I wouldn't have known about this game at all if this thread saying it was like Borderlands meets Starcraft.  Now I'm super interested.  See how that "derivative" stuff can work out in a game's favor?

Game looks cool.

No worries and just express yourself openly. Just avoid a selected few touchy subjects if you don't want to get into arguments and you will be fine. I think that GB has fairly friendly forums compared to most of the internet.
