Comments
I'm signing up for this now. Looks pretty interesting.
ya im thinking bout it too
i couldnt play it with and ATI videcard since the game is powered by nvidia... tho i tried on a pc with nvidia videocard and the game is really buggy and needs serious improvements on gameplay mechanics..... it could be more polished. what i really like is that if you attack an npc in town you will have to kill him, let him kill you, or just log out of the game... otherwise it will be a never ending chase hehehe (i remember after 3 minutes of being chased by that npc i jumped to the ocean and waited a bit in there, and after i went out of the water the idiot appeared from nowhere and continued the chase) he really wanted to hunt me down......and NPC!! lol i liked that part. ALso i was alone, if i remember correctly i saw 1 player online the whole time i was on (a couple of weeks ago).
The games feels unfinished also
Wonder if that has anything to do with it being in Beta?
now that u mentioned beta, i hope thats why... to be honest i didnt even notice if it was a beta or what... i just jumped in to the game in a rush to find a good sandbox
edit: i hope they add support for ATI cards... if they do that + fix what i mentioned before, i would play it
anyone already in beta?
I tried it, was also unplayable for me, on nvidia.
dang oh really
dont feel sad.
I tried it half a yhear ago or more(dont remember), and well, it ran alright, BUT...
the game itself has almost nothing in it, combat is unresponsive and general lack of animation make you want to alt+f4 right away. Locations are big and barren.
The graphics is ok, but the game mechanics/animations make it unbearable. + its totally empty world(of players)
It's been in beta a long time. I played it about two years ago and it was quite awful. But was early beta, so I expected it. Came back a year later, and not a single bug had been fixed, and little to no content had been fixed. Finnaly I tried it one last time 2 months ago, same thing, it's a game that isn't really being worked on, 2 years and little to nothing had improved/changed/been added to.
It's basically someone's personal garage project with zero budget. Some people may have a little fun in it. (I did for about 2 weeks with a few friends.) Just don't expect the devs to make any real changes to the game in your lifetime. What you see now is likely all the game will ever be, minus some stat and item tweeks here and there.
To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.
lol
I think I'll check it out. Thanks for the info guys.
Been skirting along my radar's edge for quite a while now. Signed up for beta, never received an invite, but I still hope they make it through and move to Open Beta.
Better to be crazy, provided you know what sane is...
The game is in open beta. Go sign up or log in. Then hit the download link at the top...

I tried it over a year ago, i think it's been in open beta for years.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
really cool
I've been waiting for this one
Oh, my. Not worth the bugs, wait another 2 years or so. xD
Certainly rough around the edges. It is the pace of development that worries me the most. I had some fun though.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
The game has great potential, but it is really buggy. Combat is a mess right now. When you attack something, it takes about 10 seconds for anything to start. Then when it does react, the creature or goblin reacts really wierd by doing this Michael Jackson moonwalk thing away from you...it is really bad.
Not worth playing it if it's in OB for years and still not finished, in my opinion. Sit tight and wait for the release
