Here are screenshots of the town and surrounding which i have visited inside the game:
 

Love the water fountain!

Look at the building, it looks so cool

Sunset or Sunrise

This the Empire nation base which i am in,it remind me of a historic site...

In term of graphics, i will give it to 8/10. This is because i love the scenary like the towns and the battlefield, it is sort of like in those kind of ancient era. Even if i set it to the lowest required of certain effect, it still looking good.I turned off the effect during the epic war because of the lag, so i think you will see the difference between them.

In term of gameplay, i give it to a 7/10. This is because i just got into the game, and i have no idea what to do in the first place. And when i am trying to find a specific NPC in the town, i have a tough time. One example will be the Warp Npc, i ran through the whole town and finally found him at where i am standing in the first place. He is just in front of me. It can be improved by at least defining that person as a Warp Keeper. And the quests' descriptions is not very detailed but i managed to completed them somehow while i went on my exploring.

In term of content and features, i give it a 9/10. I prefer RvR, Pvp types of games and this one have 3 nations fighting agaisnt each other. It is a pretty great game if you love RvR. Realm vs. Realm is always the best and fun.

My cute innocent elf (oh well, because the customization of the elf have this eyes section and it wrote shy)

After much battle and defending, our nation Empire finally win! It is all thank to the players of Empire nation, and my damage really cmi during the battlefield as i am still wearing my level 18 equipments.But it all went successfully of our victory.

Alexiellous waved good bye and awaited for Open Beta to come, meanwhile i will do some research on this game, still lacking a lot of knowledges and sense of direction.
