So far it's been a bit of an uphill struggle to get in but the 'Delete dnl.ini' tip worked
Not done much so far expect run around at 5fps (on a 3.2 gig P4 with a FX6800 Ultra!) Managed to get my pioneer dragon and did some flying before being unceremoniously kicked out. All I can say is WOW! The world is HUGE... Reading about it and seeing screenshots is one thing, but actually climbing aboard your dragon and launching off into the skies and climbing above the clouds is amazing.
Character creation options are very poor and the models are nowhere near up to the standards of current generation MMORPGs. The interface is clunky and needs a lot of work, and as mentioned above the performance is less than spectacular. However, once you get away from the noob zone to less crowded areas it picks up a bit.
Can't tell you what combat is like as I couldn't find anything to kill before it crashed!
That's all for now - gonna try and get back into the game for a bit before bed!
how did you get your dragon i was ingame about 15 mins and was completly lost, including the fact that my chats seemed to stop working about 2 mins in and when i did have chat none of it was in english...was there something you had to do to get your dragon?
Err well it seems very laggy and the UI at first glance is complicated but its starting to make sense now.
I think I need to play with my settings as graphics seem sluggish.
Atm it looks very much like a Beta, which as no surprise. Graphics look a bit dated, but tbh its hard to review something that youve played for 20mins and I dont really know what I am doing yet!

Remember to give us some impressions when you're done.
Stinks not having a pioneer or settler account.
Recommend turning down your initial video settings. A little crowded as people are entering the world.
Now where did I put that manual? Need to print it before proceeding in again.
Had to register to post my first impressions

You see...that would make me absolutely furious.

If you have questions fire away.
