When I came back, I see an argument over whether steam is good, and almost no answers for my question @ - @
i think they are twsting the steam in this CBT, we dont have a answer yetâŚ
i think its time you use your mini gun on your penguinâŚ
seriously for now it will be exclusive for steam but my gut tell there will be stand-alone client that can be downloaded from this site too⌠imo
no official statement for your answer yet from IMCgames, just wait for it tho

stand alone client > steam

As much as I love steam, I prefer not to play any MMOs on it unless it uses a separate account system. Part of the reason is due to family sharing. I will like to continue playing the game while my family are playing my other steam games (mainly JRPGs) using family sharing.
There are other reason, but family sharing is the biggest reason for me.
Exactly, I donât really remember the last time I had an issue with Steam, plus the fact that if there happens to be some sort of cash shop built within Steam (basically that accepts steam money) I can trade useless skins that I have from other games into actual usefull stuff for the game.
Going back to your question, MOST MMORPGs on Steam can be downloaded from either the main site or Steam, so maybe theyâll add that option later on.
Wrong, at least for this CBT. The game client uses the steam API for retrieving the credentials of your Steam account ; Have you noticed there was no login/password form when you start the game?
So, you need Steam up for playing the ToS CBT - We donât know yet for the final game.

Pretty much. Iâm definitely waiting for the stand-alone client once the game goes gold. For now, my sibling will have to bare not playing my steam library game when I"m BT the game =p heh
I didnât say that lol.

Steam = China
China = Everything made in China
You understand now? Without steam, there wonât even be PC gaming in this world.

Only 897? Thats quite little donât you think? about 7.7 million players are on as of now and only for those who are online as of now http://store.steampowered.com/about/ and only received 900 reports while over half of them are because they canât log in due to their lack of internet/comp specs? while ToS received over 20,000 bugs reports in their CB with limited players? What a joke youâre trying to point out. I really do hope they donât make a separate login so some fools like you can leave the steam community.
The only thing I hate about Steam is when the server suddenly down for a few hours in my region, especially when I was playing multiplayer games such as Dota 2. But this rarely occurs, so I guess itâs not much of a problem.
You meant Dota 2 server. Steam server is never down.
Just give steam a try first, itâs actually pretty nice 
Oh, so that was Dota 2 server. My bad then.
Players shouldnât be uneasy with steam.
It might seem scary at first being that you are not familiar. But its quite nice to have as a gamer.
Only thing I didnât like as a new user was the ninja updates on Dota 2, but that could be easily changed.

Steam is great. I donât care if the game is exclusive to Steam or not, but if it is, fine by me. I like having all of my computer games on my Steam account.

Steam is literally never down for maintenance, sure the community might be but that will never prevent you from playing non-steam games such as TOS.
Going by the fact that ToS uses xml files and we can simply take a look. It seems so far it doesnât have any steamworks integration. Both the server list and patcher connect to the Amazon servers. So that will probably mean you will have to make a ToS account instead of using the Steam one since they haven o Steamworks then theyâll link them via steam so loging into steam logs you into your account.
The downside of not using steam works, it seems there will be no steam market so as far as itâs in now. You wonât be able to buy or sell your items via steam like you would for say Dota 2 or TF2

It could also be so that it wonât be the same as the first Ragnarok.
Because it would be pretty hard to bot in a game connected to steam, right?
Botters in Ragnarok always ticked me off back then.
