Just thought I'd drop a line about APB coming out tomorrow if anyone caught wind of it. I have played in closed beta, the open beta, and now the pre-buy weekend. This game has been the most fun I have had gaming with friends on line in a long time.
Its a GTA style casual MMO. Group with friends as a criminal or enforcer and go out and try to stop the opposing side from completing objectives all over the city. It is the most in depth customization in any game. Choose the color of all your clothes, the stitching, design logos for clothes, your cars, Import your own mp3's, create your own music with the in game music editor, its insane!
Also their payment plan is better than any other MMO imo. With purchase you get 50 hours of play ,then you either purchase 20 more hours for $6.99 or unlimited monthly play for $9.99. Also, you can earn money from the in game auction house by selling designs or music creations, etc. and you can turn that into points you can trade in for hours as well. Finally, the "Social District" of the game, where you can do all the customizations and sell items, and hang out, is always free to play.
If interested checkout the info at their site
http://na.apb.com or go to youtube and search "APB" and watch countless videos.
We have a small criminal clan right now the "Chaos Kings" and my in game name is Dismal. Shoot me a message in game if you join up or I will check your forums as well.
