Thanx for pointing me towards it! I think it\'s gonna be fun top play - but unfortunately it doesn\'t work under cedega, so I\'d have to reboot
my uptime! my uptime! a kingdom for uptime!
alright tried it, so here\'s a review.
firs thing you see in Kal are hoards of old (lo)users trying to earn game money by selling you game stuff for more than you\'d find it in the game for. I guess that compares evenly with the crowd of bored ilders on hydlaa plaza *g* - still think of ps where 30 out of 60 chars currently online keep offering map of the sewer to you all the time.
there are lots more folk in Kal, ratio of players to npc is well above 100. consider that you have 3 body types to choose from multiplied by 3 hair styles and 3 faces, that\'s more than the character choice you get in ps now, but really just as lame - whereever you go there are innumerable characters who look like you carry same weapon as you and.... one day when ps has all the races properly implemented, ps would rock in this part.
so far I\'ve seen only rather basic quests, like \"bring me this item\", and only weapon/magic skill progression, i.e. kill small monsters, get pp, train, kill larger monsters, get pp, train, etc. The Kal world is larger than Yliakim, much larger in fact, but a lot more repetitive and plain. a lot of npc don\'t interact at all (presumably until you get to a certain level doing certain quest where you need that npc).
to cut it short:
Kal - ready and playable and feels 5 years too old
Ps - not ready or playable and feels 2 years too old
I hope you enjoyed my review!
