hehe.. aww dear did i break into your world of ONLY DIVINE DIVINITY..?

lol.

Horizons is an Online only game. Similar to Everquest, Asherons Call or Dark Age of Camelot.

You create a character and then over a period of several months or even years with manys fights and quests, build him or her upto a hero of epic proportions.

Its usually seen as a group social based game ideal. So if you prefer single player games or dont get online alot ie have 56k pay per minute or something it wouldnt be a good idea. But, and i sincerely mean this, BUT, if you like playing DD then you'll love playing Horizons or any of the others. To give you an idea.. i've just played Horizons for 84 hours continuous. Before collapsing into bed because they brought the server down for a patch. Other than Civilization, Diablo 1 and 2, Ufo and DD no game has had me like this. Not even AC or EQ or Daoc.

As it really puts you into the world of rpg.

Horizons is currently still in beta3 and i am one of the few open beta testers privilaged to test it. I cant show screenshots or give much info on the game, as i am bound by a Non Disclosure Agreement not to do so.

The game has i think to date the best economy system and manufacture system available. Looks gorgeous and plays well. Combat and Quests are actually fun. Theres still alot of work to be done on background and group combat and theres some very serious bugs which need to be fixed, but overall i think this game will steal alot of ex Ultima Online, Everquest, Asherons Call and Daoc players.

I'd suggest it to anyone with some free time and who are bored of playing on their own.
