Is the guild planning on having a division in this game? I know Roo is playing it and wondering how many others play. I may purchase it in a couple months and was wondering about the game if you can post info.

Thanks,

Sauk

if it floats, thats all that matters.. ive been looking at videos on youtube of the game.. it just looks so slow.. is there a hotbar for attacks.. or do you use mouse1/mouse2... i saw somebody with a 2handed glavie... and then he switched to a sceptor to cast things.. what the hell is going on...

yes its click to swing , and yes u have to have a staff in your hand to cast magic ,makes it a little harder to do both put if your weapon and staff on your hotbar its just a sec to switch , doesnt seem slow to me ,mount combat is cool ,archery probly best weapon in game until u get to the higher magic ,elem magics kick ass takes alot of work to get that far though,but over all pvp is alot of fun in this game , and u will get mad bcause u just spent alotof time to get that nice shiny gear and poof its all gone but then again u may be running with an exter set that i nice fellow just fell down and gave u

I am in, xiede is in , roo is in...


everything I expected and more... it is the modern UO (pre-trammel)... gettin ganked in newbieland by a group of reds, only to res with nothing but my newbie weapon, Fishing on a boat, skills going up from useage and no exp for kills.

I love it, I love it, I love it.

Now for the "down sides" that everyone is going to comment on. It is slightly less polished than corperate games. THere is currently only one server because they do not have the flow to do the major startup that big corps can do.

On the bright side, even in europe i ping about 140, people west coast ping 200ish, always get in pretty much right away and only occasional short lags even with tons of people around.

gimme a good gui and life is grand. Hally swingin mage is back on track

and the graphics, while not "super" are definitely on par with most of what you see today. AI is pretty good, but you can kite if you use the line of site and edges properly.

I started up Saturday morning and am having fun. I am moderately concerned by a couple of things. First the company that has it has left a very bad impression with me as they are without a doubt the most naziest of nazis on their forums with anything critical of their little project. I've had posts removed on there and I was even being nice. Secondly, the game interface is pretty second rate. It's getting 'failed to connect' their generic error for who knows what, when trying to connect sporadically and thus for the recommended solution it to 'just keep trying'. That's fine, I'll just keep trying if they just keep trying to fix the code. The other part of the interface that I actually fo real concerned about is how easy it is to hack. I was searching for some info on the game, because nothing is really published, knowledge of the game is a currency the EU server and beta testers are hoarding for the most part.. and half the shit I find on the net is for DFOMate and other programs which are;
1 - ingame radar so EVERYONE shows up on your mini map
2 - auto aimer - because FPS aim on a MMO is too hard
3 - instant teleporter

There are probably more not to mention that there just the benign problems inherent in any poorly implemented game.. i.e., you can swim 'under the world' at a zone border and get stuck under the map so you can travel safely. Don't even get me started on the mapping issues. In addition to all of this, apparently the EU players can transfer over in three months with the characters they got to increase ability on through exploits that have now been fixed, i.e., we gotta do it the hard way.

I'm still going to play but it will not much to make me cancel my sub.
