I created a character, got the game to log me in. Great looking graphics but after about 10 minutes of wandering around the game started gobbling up 1+ GB of my ram and I had to kill it.

Using over 1 GB for gaming isnt rare.
especially when you have 4GB RAM, GeForce 8800, and Q4 processors ;D Nothing lags on my rig

I have the same setup but a 9800 and by todays standards it's probably middle of the road.. nothing wonderful. I definately get some occassional stutter in game (non-lag related). Many of the SB.exe errors.. oh I mean nowgame.exe seem to have been related to memory and/or video for me. I noticed that whenI got the error my memory usage (with 4 GB) was maxed out... so I lowered the settings down from defaults.. shut off shadows.. bloom.. medium textures etc. Almost all of the nowgame.exe crashes have gone away. It feel like they have a severe memory leak somewhere.

Concept is interesting but realisation is catastrophic. I can't even launch the launcher... and connect to the server for updates. Think about Vanguard, think about Age of Conan. Mo' s open beta/release is worst than those.
NB i'm not a hater, i only play indie games/open worlds ... but this one needs months and months of improvements... another mmo on the ground... SV must wait ... don't launch the game please...
We had to download the launcher many many many times and it's not working. Sometimes you can't even update the game, sometimes you can create a char but you can't play, sometimes you can play but the game crashes few min after... That' s MO.

get the new launcher it fixes the launcher issue run updater.exe to get it it tiems out once in a while but when the launcher doesnt launch its on your end. only thing really bad about it is some times the speed is lil slow

It kept going up until the game froze.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
I am not a hater, I bought the game a long time ago. I hope the game does well in the end.
Right now it's a disaster, it really, really doesn't need anymore people trying out the beta, I don't know how many are currently on, but it's not thats it's unplayable, more that it's un-anything. I can't give much indication on the gameplay and it's impossible to tell through a lag that took me back to the 90's.

Possibly the worst game I have ever played in my life. I actually want the 2 hours of my life back that I wasted on it.
Let me explain; Firstly the problem I had with actually downloading the game, I had to find an update to the patcher before the installer would download the game. How poor is that?
Secondly when I do get into the game, I have to create a character, theres nothing there to explain why I would want to pick one race over another, very confusing specially the bloodline thing, at first I thought if I put all ancestors as males then I would be part of some homosexual bloodline.
Thirdly when I did finally get into the game, it was like I had been beamed down by the starship enterprise. No explanation of what i am here for, what i need to do, where i need to go, who do i speak to, where do i fight, is there a quest for me? I walked around, saw a bunch of people wasn't sure if they were NPC's or fellow players. It took me 10 minutes to figure out how to interact with someone. The interface was abysmal, mainly because i didn't know how to use it. After 30 minutes i worked out how to chop a tree, which involved my standing next to it staring at the trunk, pressing a couple of buttons and then seeing no interaction with the tree whatsoever.
I was actually embarrassed by this game, I was embarrassed for the devs, I've played some poor beta's in my time but at least they were playable. I'm pretty sure EQ beta which was one of the first MMO's was 100x better than this game 11 years on. Vanguard was a duff beta, but again it was still functional and moderately fun.
I cant say a good word about this game, even the graphics were poor. Vanguard, AoC or EQ2 graphics are far more impressive in my opinion.

Ive had mostly the same experience. While I dont expect it to be the same as other MMOs with quests and all the hand holding, the interface is so poorly designed as to be unplayable. They basically took everything that works in other games, and threw it out, trying to reinvent the wheel. They failed.

Probably the 3 best graphics games in mmo's, what an odd benchmark.
Not really, considering all 3 of those games have been out for 2+ years. I'd expect this game to look at least as good as one of those 3 games, but it looked a hell of a lot worse.

Fair enough critique. But seeing as how the same could be said for pretty much all other mmo's released in those 2 years surely that's an issue with the industry or a recognition that having those level of graphics limits the design options you will have, such as 1 seemless game world with no instancing or zoning at all. There are sooooo many reason to be crticize MO, it's graphincs in comparison to nearly all other mmo's just doesn't seem to be one. But looks and appearance are a personal thing I guess.

If they are releasing this game in a month or 2 it has to be cause they have run out of money. No developer in their right mind would release such an unpolished mmo in todays climate unless they have no choice. I just can't see how they will get enough subscribers to stay afloat as a lot of the hardcore ffa pvp crowd seems to have settled in Darkfall for now and it seems to be on the up.
DF is the same as its always been.. No more and no less. It certainly isnt on the " up ". It will probably gain some players once MO flops though.
I have no clue what I am talking about? I have played Aion and been in battles with 50 people on screen and it runs flawlessly and the PvP zone in that game is NOT instanced and I have heard of battles with houndreds of people running with little lag.
The reason that I quit after a month (and many others did) was that despite running pretty well It would crash when you had massed battles. Good ole memory leak. It was bad, really bad. Have they fixed that? I would guess they have by now.
I love ultima online type of MMO's, i hope more and more will come out and provide such a multi-layered gameplay. But i'd like one that doesn't taste like dead mutt.
