Haven't yet played this game for even 5 seconds due to errors.. or because I'm a newb to all you DnL fanbois who won't admit to there being any problems at all with your perfect game.
The last is a log-in error after I delete the Dnl.ini and other 1k text document in the SOG folder.
This is pathetic.
Atleast Mourning ran when it was released to the public...
...This game won't even run on tons of peoples computers from what I am seeing.
No fixes on the DnL forums, all they do is lock any threads asking for answers in these errors and say that they will answer such questions by email.. which ofcourse doesn't ever really happen. I've had a tech support email regarding this issue now for 3 days with no response.
Hey, but in their defense, I bet they are hard at work making us a great new snowboarding video to watch.

Have you ever beta tested a game before? My guess is no... since you are sitting here whining about how SoG sucks and being unplayable. Yes, there are issues that need to be addressed by the DnL team but this is still a new game. I am amazed at how many people were expecting SoG to be a polished game... it's an alpha people. It's buggy and the game play will be rough for a while until the code is refined.
If this is not your style, then might I suggest WoW, EVE or SWG...

i don't think it is to much to ask that a game that has been claimed by np3 not not be a beta, to at least work and be playable. it is not alpha, and if it was why even release it?
quit making up excuses for why some people cant even get the freaking game to work, that is ridiculous....i understand its not a polished game but it is not in alpha......np3 are the idiots that came out and said that sog is a complete game not alpha or even beta.
like the game all you want that is fine by me, but if the op really hasn't been able to get the game to work after all this time, that is truly pathetic and he does have a reason to complain IMO.
read this http://www.vanguardsoh.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1044304#post1044304 then come back and talk to me about the vanguard/soe fiasco.....
I haven't been able to play either due to errors. I guess you are, like me, trying to play Settlers of Garaneth. SoG is a limited version of Dark and Light and it is said not to be a beta version.
I have played beta versions of Star Wars Galaxies, Everquest 2 and World of Warcraft without any major problems. SoG version of Dark and Light crashes every time I try to log in and there are no support.
Well, time to find another game
So is this a beta? Or an alpha? Coz it's a significant difference. The fact is, that after the quite long period of CLOSED BETA (where I miserably failed to qualify 4 times) this game looks more like an ALPHA. What was this closed beta for then? Was there any at all? Or was it only a circle of self-adoration? I won't really mention the 10FPS-EQ1Quality-DevelopedForSeveralYears gfx engine (I know students who created better ones), the pathethic user interface and the really poor content. I simply have the hunch that these guys from Farlan/NPCube/Whateverelse barely ever saw even a mediocre 3D MOG, are complete programming amateurs who , might have great amibtions, unfortunately the skills rather to write a 'Hello world' program. Summarizing, I barely trust anyone developing some soft (a game or not) for that long period of time, having a closed group of volunteers to test it, and in effect bringing such crap to the world. Absolutely unproffesional
Dude, I mean seriously... Do ya think it might be possible to just try and get up off your knees and stretch them out long enough to take a look at reality. By "reality", I mean looking at the promises made for this SOG release. IT IS NOT BETA! And that is per NPCube, not me. Again, it is not beta. Get it? Okay again, SOG is not beta. Refer to NPCube for further repeatings on this.
Granted, this game shows tons of potential, especially with all the promises made about this game over the past 4 years. And here it is...
I simply cannot fathom the lengths at which fanboys will cause serious grave damage to their knees in blind faith and support of a game.. even when all the facts and reality are 100% against what they profess and claim they believe.
{Shakes head sadly...}
Enjoy the game Ilipah... enjoy the game bro.

altough np3 claim it isnt BETA, its the exact same build as the DnL beta client so who the hell are they kidding?

I am the flipside of the coin on which the troll and the fanboy are but one side.
The stupidity of the fanbois of this game is unbelievable. SOG was described as a pre-game but its clearly a beta. Faced with the frequent disconnects, server crashes and getting kicked out so that chinese people can have the server to themselves - still they make excuses for a game that many of them paid 60 bucks for.
Clearly this game sucks in a major way but the warning signs have been obvious. Clearly there are some people who want a game to succeed so much that they block out reality.
I will put this warning here - DO NOT PAY FOR A BETA EVER - no matter what features the game promises. If a beta is not free - DO NOT PLAY IT.
Any company that needs to charge for a game that they havent finished is a sign of a dodgy company. Any fan who pays for a game that is not finished is a fool
Zaxtor, you just love you be involved in games of questionable conduct, don't you? Did we learn our lesson with Mourning?
And no, Mourning did not run for a few weeks after the "pre-order" release, and when it did, it was about 30 min a day.
Here is the lesson, kids, don't pre-order questionable foreign games online. Those that are charging in full are probaly not exactly an ethical business. Especially without any reviews/previews by other people in the beta or word from others. Don't line up to get ripped off!
The only major differences between the beta and SoG is that the beta testers were given a 36pg manual
while those in SoG got an 8pg one. Likewise the beta testers play in a different and larger part of the world.
The game features are at most one version apart from one another.
