Was surprised to not see a post or link to this anywhere on this site or the forums, so thought I'd help get the word out. From a new stream, class reveal, and hashed out features all the way up to the climate system, it makes for an exciting read.

So what is it that they are walking on exactly? I wouldn't mind some sort of texture. It definitely is reminiscent of old-timey alphas, though. THAT is alpha people!! Sexy model on horribly stretched, low-res ground texture, lol.
To be honest, though, I still run WoW on Low settings because I simply don't care about them. I would like to see something maybe a little more high-res than this, but I don't need ultra-realistic. The biggest problem with ultra-realistic is that every little flaw jumps out at you. This could, literally, ruin the entire game for you, too.

I do like they are aiming for "what makes sense"however...
They use the example of the Ogre not playing the Lute.I would have rather seen limitations on each race and what they can achieve instead of 100% restricting ideas.
I feel the idea of exploration can be further enhanced by allowing races to explore other cultures/lore and learn from them.
I also hope to see them do a better job with skills.By that i mean a player picks up a sword for the first time,they should not be able to hit too often.It should be a passive learning trait and not some point number allotment system.I would also hope that skills are unlocked via the passive skill and not by your level.Reason if a level 50 player never having ever picked up an axe should not be able to achieve the highest skill with axe just because his level number says so.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
As far as the graphics, you can check out a bunch of other high res photos they have in game. It looks absolutely stunning; better than any other MMO on the market that I"ve seen.
This aspect was huge in EQ and VG. Learning weapon skills takes a MASSIVE amount of time. When I was max level, it took me weeks to get my 1hb skill up with my ranger to where I could even use the item in groups. Wisdom and Intelligence of a race/character also influences how quickly you will learn and improve on these skills. And EQ hosted more "skills" to learn than any other game to date. From begging, to kicking, to learning like 20 different languages (yes you need to learn dragonspeak and certain things for quests which takes so long), ripostes, parrys, dodge, offense, defense; there are sooooo many skills in this game and it is all time consuming. This all just adds to the quality and reward you feel when you see someone able to wield everything, speak different languages, etc.
Just buy the game and its $100 once for two digital copies, plus beta access and a couple other priviledges. And you can post in the official forums to your hearts content.
You can get into higher tiers though and then the devs are more likely to listen to what you have to say.
We charge a small fee to post on the official forums to help us out with development costs as it goes directly to supporting the team and the game while we are looking for further funding. Our angel investor and community have been awesome in helping us get this far and we are truly thankful, but you are not required to purchase anything or give us any money to read or interact on any platforms other than our official dev forums and that access comes included with all pledges.
I was under the impression that bards were a "maybe sometime in the future". Its good to see they are officially on the class chart.
Why not pay $100 ONCE and post in the official forum ever since ? Much, much cheaper in the long run.
Plus you get two game copies etc on top of it.
and I am equally grateful, your team isn't answering to one of the soulless big corporate "game" companies like Electronic Arts. Its one of the reasons I plan on playing this game.
you could always go play EA or blizzard games, that are funded by their shareholders. of course those games are made to please the shareholders and not the gamers. you really couldn't connect those dots on your own ?
Well, DMKano doesn't like this mmo for some odd reason. He's always subtle, never blunt. He will never come right out with say so, that's his style. In fact he adds that he plays EQ1 into the mix to pretend he's a supporter of old school games......But really he promotes Asian F2P games.....He just loves them.
He always seems to give little digs or just play the fence, but never something good.
