the game's great, i suppose. It looks like it will provide some fun for the hardcore gamers at last. I thought that AoC would do this, but the sooner the release was, the more casual it became.

Not to sound sceptic....but I'm starting to have some bad feelings about this game. They pushed it again from the 22th of jan to the 25th of feb. I some early statment they said the game was practicly finished and the 22th would be the release date, then they changed it in the last minute...

They also stated that on the 22th we would get a free trial, open beta or whatever. Nearly the whole day went without anything happening...then they said they had released the "first beta keys". I didn't get one, but neither did the 10 of my friends who have been with the community nearly from the begining?

There is said to be people playing and leaking, but if you ask, no one actually "knows" anyone that has been in the beta...

Yes, I know there could be reasons with the NDA and all that. And really, I see no reason why they would scam so many people, it's not like they would get money of the preordering...but I getting some wierd vibes now from the project.

If anyone remember Tim and the "knights of the force - mod", I'm getting the same feeling about this one now because it follows nearly the same pattern.

BUT I still have some hopes, and IF they game will be as huge and advanced as they say. It will be a huges leap in the MMORPG genre. I really hope for it to be true too because we would need such a game.

We'll see after the 25th of feb, and I hope and keep my fingers crossed Smile

Oh but they would. There were a few polls recently asking if you'd preorder the game without having tried it, or with nothing more being revealed about the game itself - they were something of a landslide with people voting yes.

A lot of people have built this game up in their heads to be the second coming of christ and they don't believe it could be anything less than perfection - with this kind of blind faith, Aventurine could make a lot of money with even the shittiest alpha product.

Don't get me wrong, I'd really like to the game to live up to the hype, but I can't be anything less than realistic and right now this whole fiasco is looking dodgy as hell.

This that game which was given funds by the Greek government?

If it is, then I doubt they're looking into scamming people because the Greek government knows who they are.

With all the expectations it seem they can't live up too it all. I also, as I said, get a bad feeling about this. Like how it will end up as the biggest scam in the MMORPG genre. But I'll be the first one to crawl to the cross and admit that I'm wrong if this game now will be released on the 25th.

I guess they don't want to become the second aoc.

I'm not sure what to think of this game, but i do know that i wait for some reviews and i will read many forums before i buy it.

No more wasting money on a crappy game

Just wondering, are you in the beta? If not, how do you know?

And if you are in the beta, then why is it shitty?

No I didn't play the beta of this game, but I played betas and/or final versions of pretty much every MMO out there to make an educated guess.

the russian testers (from goha.ru) find the game very good, even "fuckin' wonderfull", cause it reminds them of UO. it is not very user(carebear)-friendly and it's its' strength - the mobs are quite good at kicking ass, they provide a challenge, which is unusual in MMOs.

Blast me, i want a key)

My message to the devs: Please don't release this too early. I think Feb 25th is fairly unrealistic. The devs should just flat out say they aren't going with that launch date, and take all the time they need to perfect this. Who cares about upsetting those who are waiting. If its a solid product they will buy it anyways.


LOL, this sounds more like the developers talking than some dude in the beta test Razz


I also think fisk should be unbanned.

And oh, here's a map showing the world of Darkfall Online, where they've pasted Kalimdor in the middle, to show how big the world is:

In this case it's quality that matters, not quantity. I'd rather have smaller, unique looking, carefully crafted zones than a huge copy paste environment.

2 Glottis, can't agree with that. AoC has "smaller unique looking zones", but.. i feel a bit claustrophobic there.

Dark and Light had a huge, and I mean HUGE gaming world. It was dreadfully empty and ill-designed. It was a clean slate, but the devs never took the time to take advantage of it.

One viable solution to the huge-game-world concept would be to use some sort of randomizer that can create beleivable and lush environments (Oblivion for example) with some primitive eco-system (NOT Oblivion for example Razz).

If this creates a huge, content-less world that is easy to navigate, then it's the perfect playground for players and developers alike.

For one, the players could build cities without fear of overpopulation like it happened in SWG, and the devs would have a huge open world and given that they have some easy to use content creation mechanism in place, they could fill that up with ease. Using that randomizer they could even create new areas without any hardship if they happen to run out of space.

Gonna crawl to the cross (maybe). One of my friends actually got a key to the beta yesterday...I'll be damned Razz However, the client are only downloading in 2kb/s...and in that speed it will take about 3 month before it's finished. It's not my friends internet connection either, he has a fast one. But maybe the servers are kind of bogged down right now?

I'll get back when I can actually see something myself with my "own" two eyes.
