The game is actually pretty f*****g fun. It is like Diablo 2 but with a better story and graphics.

i played the hell out of this game a couple months ago..
i have some level 50's (a couple of them i cheated at the zues level) but nevertheless love the hell out of that game. bought a multitap and a few friends and i had some fun.
if you want a review of the game by yours truely, head on over to the misc. games section i think it is and look up this game...i wrote a decent review.
i would highly recommend this to anyone who has a friend or three, it's fun out of the sun

I've got it. I haven't played it in a few months. It was pretty fun, then CoH came out and I've basically not touched my PS2 since. That will change when ESPN Hockey 2005 comes out.

I remember hearing something about how the online play will s***w up your single player character but I cannot seem to find the info about it. I did find this though:
| Quote: | The comparisons to PSO don't end there, though. Like Sonic Team's game, Champions of Norrath has an online component that will allow up to four players to quest together in pursuit of fame and fortune. Unfortunately, the game's online component has many of the same problems PSO has faced over the years-duping, connection issues, players stealing stuff, and so forth. In fact, Champions of Norrath is actually worse than PSO when it comes to online play for a number of reasons.
The first is that the title doesn't feature a lobby or a friend's list. Players simply log on and create or join a game. This makes meeting up with people incredibly difficult. Sure, you can take your chances in an open game, but if you're looking for specific players who you've quested with before, then good luck.
Another problem involves joining games. If the host quits a game before you manage to save, you lose all the progress you just made. To say that this sucks is a no-brainer...and while most hosts are good enough to give you warning, there are always going to be griefers who think it's funny to just bail and s***w everyone over. Needless to say, this was something of a boneheaded design decision.

In other news, right now I have a level 7 SK =)
