haha funny you ask, I've just gotten back into it the other day - fantastic combat engine with a seemingly pointless trade system etc etc.

basically my impression is that the game is the combat engine with a bunch of stuff tacked on - but its incredibly fun non the less!

the Combat is sooo rad, when do you reckon they will take it out of Beta testing?
The last time i played it there were no castles, what is with them?
