    For all those wondering how this game is, it is very much like a 3D maple story.

    I played the EU version until about level 52 then stopped. If your idea of fun is running the same dungeon (with 4 rooms) forever then this is the game for you. The best place to level from 40-55 is one dungeon. If you have a good group it takes maybe 3 or 4 minutes to clear it. You have to run it something like 22 hours @3min a run to level from 52 to 53.

    It is a fun distraction but most players will probably leave around their 20s as that's when the grind really starts to pick up.

    To be fair, RO was 2d characters in a 3D world. This is more like 3D characters in a 2.5D world, akin to Maple Story more than Ragnarok. That being said, it's still pretty fun and you may catch me playing this week :)

    I played the demo and fell in love....then I saw the price. While it's a pretty sidescroller, it's not worth 30 dollars.

    Pre-ordered on Steam a few days ago, and just finished installing it now. The demo was literally the most fun I've had in a game in 2009. Absolutely worth $30 for me.


    Now if nobody minds, I'm going to go play it...

    I'd bite, if i wasn't holding out for the slim hope that it might come to XBLA as well at some point in the future. I must say, all the videos of Trine have looked fantastic. Shame about the price on Steam.

    Why is there not a XBLA version?!! These people have clearly shown they like money so what gives? It's not like Sony's paying them to make it a PS3-PC exclusive :(

    Have they fixed it for D-Link routers? I've had it crash two separate D-Link routers, and on the beta forums, I asked people with similar problems what router they used and it was always D-Link as well.


    The worst part is that it didn't use to do this. There was an update a while back that did something that ended up killing those routers, forcing them to be restarted.


    Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
