Roma Victor: New MMORPG to be Released

This may be the game I have been waiting for: an MMo based on the Roman Empire, in the year 180 CE. They have already started commercial testing, and release is slated for Christmas 2005:

Roma Victor

Guilds have already been forming since 2002 (ahh!!), and we have just started a Celtic guild, for those who want to be part of the barbarian horde that will one day rise to power!

The Gaesatae

We welcome all ATS/BTS'ers who are interested in getting in early on this game to apply to our guild.

Is this free or pay to play ?

there will be no monthly charge. All you need to do is buy the game CD's to begin playing.

You know it be 2005 and all, I hope those just alpha graphics or something, cause thats no way NEAR todays standards for top of the line MMORPGS

I also learned that they tolerate no flaming on their message board.

In any game with PvP, their is going to be some smack talking. Those peep's are just way to anal for me. I plan on pk'ing every single one of them

This sounds like the perfect game! I have watching ROME on channel 4 and I play Shadow of Rome! I'm definitely gonna get this!!
