Title: The game in general
Post by: Yunalesca on January 12, 2005, 04:53:15 pm

Hey... just wondering... but how\'s this game in general.... I would download it and try it myself but I got limited bandwidth so I can\'t download as I wish... the thing is I remember trying this game LONG time ago (like maybe even close to a year.. but don\'t quote me for that)... back then it was still very new and in beta.... I thought the graphics were cool, the movement hard... but you know there wasn\'t much happening \'cause it was new... now it\'s well a lot more developed and it\'s free so that\'s great :P  But how\'s the gameplay like... just wanna hear opinions of those who are playing it :P

at first......its still alfa(if i have understood the devs right...), and that time it was pre alfa....And, i can say to you, its lot more better than that time....since now theres combat, magic, mining.....and progres points.... The world is bigger to explore...Well, since its free, its worth of playing....but one thing is litle strange, people in this game aren\'t freely communating....if you go and say for example, Hi to some one you dont know yet, he/she prolly just runs away, or wont say a word......well, thats what happens to me at least....But in general, its a good game combared to that its just an alfa.

Fortunately not everyone runs away but yes some are like that!

I believe the game is worth keeping your eyes on, though still beta at this point many things aren\'t implemented yet but that will most likely change the coming months.

Already there are many members who enjoy role playing so i expect things will work out well for this one!

What can be done at this point, well not that much but you can meet people have conversations if they feel like it. Mine for stuff and sell it, pick up some quests from NPC characters (haven\'t really tried that one yet) and there is some combat. You can try and earn some tria (the games currency) and i believe that can be taken with you after the (hopefully) final database sweep which will eventually come after all the problems of this beta version have been sorted out. Just keep your eye on the website for the latest news or check these forums from time to time as i do!

Have fun! :)

A few things

A: The game is not yet an Alpha. It is an Beta-Tech-Demo, a little strange to understand but just think of it as what you get screene shoots from for E3 when the game is still a year away from completion.
B: It is a fare bit of fun to play if you can find a group of people to \'hang\' with.
C: There are a lot of RPers on, we are just being drownd in a \'sea of shouting newbies/noobs\'.
and 4: about a year ago eh? *points to his signup date :)

I don\'t believe it to be very fair to always point at people who are new to a game!

I have met many new players that were not at all shouting and/or messing things up so please choose your words more carefull next time!

I appologize. The truth is that the sentance works properly though. I am refering to a select group of players who are both new and OOC/L337 all the time. I understand that there are plenty of new RPers on. I said nothing against them. However, you must realize that most of the players that have been around for any respectable period of time are RolePlaying.
My terming the problem people as Newbies/n00bs is, infact a proper statement based on the above grounds.

No need for that ranger, i understand now that you are actually reffering to a select few people who display inappropriate behaviour!

Unfortunately that is the case in most games today, but perhaps it will stop after most features are implemented but i wouldn\'t hold my breath for too long!

ok from my opinion this game is great.

im a long time player of planeshift and i have beeeen playing alot just on mb just chating and talking.  there was nothing to do besides this yet i still played for hours on end.

the game is beautifull, the devs know what they are doing and what they want, the players are great and so is the community.

its easily (in my opinion) my favourite mmorpg and is for many other loyal fans,

excellent :D

cheers
