Any of you guys giving it a go?

I played the BETA, it was funny when it did not lag.

I was going to buy until I heard they are going for "pay to play"

you can pay per hour or you can do typical mmo and do it monthly or yearly etc

i will be waiting for Brink. i dont think APB will last that long - it will be another mxo in a overcrowded mmorpg scene.

Im playing it atm, on patriot

Not sure how the add freinds stuff works atm or if ill end up playing criminal or enforcer, been playing for the last 2 days on both, I gotta say I LOVE how quick and easy it is to get into a group, do player vs player missions and how microphones are easily incorporated in the game so theres no need for vent etc.

Spent hours customizing shit as well like tattoos and symbols and cars and tshirts.

The game also runs pretty well on my system (3.2 gb ram) its got some contraints but looks better than alot of games ive played even recently, so its not high end machines only.

When ive decided which side i prefer ill throw up my toons names

1st genuinely interesting game for ages imo. gonna hang back for now and see if getting sucked into a monthly fee will be worth it, but... exciting stuff!

I love the big battles, but its quite infuriating sometimes because the districts are so busy, 40v40 might not seem alot but when your playing say 6v6 missions and some dick drives into you with a car and isn't part of your mission and thus stops you, making the other team catch you and rape your faces... argh !

But still, part and parcel of an inner city mmo i guess, really has that busy city feel, which I think makes it better - rather that than the odd pedestrian and car every now and then.
