Yesterday I mucked around a bit trying different races, today I got serious and started to build a permanent character.
I am a Light Lutin called Oxbane, I made my character as small and cute as possible. Today I finished at lvl 5.
My first overall impression is good, the World looks beautiful, the server is stable, and the mob hunting to my liking. People have been friendly and helpful mostly. The FPS is not so good, but I'm adjusting. Lots of little bugs, and areas needing polish.
My in-game aim is to get involved in the politics and economics of Ganareth, which is basically Kingdom building. To get involved in this, I must now be on the look out for a strong guild.
This is all I'll say for now, but I'll drop in every now and then and give an update if I feel like it
Cheers

Wait a minute you been the strongest supporter of DnL on this forum and you never even owned the game till now
How do you expect us to take any review you make seriously?
"This is not a game to be tossed aside lightly.
It should be thrown with great force"
Its a shame there are people in the MMO community willing to sell out their fellow gamers for a bunch of deceitful devs. Blacksac wants to help Farlan scam the community, admits to just having bought the game, and now begins a new campaign of deceit.
There really shouldn't be anyone out there who can take a single syllable of Blacksacs posts seriously.
Hit the guild window, type in 'Juggernauts' and ask for enroll.
Look at it this way. Now that Blacksac is actually playing the game he won't be able to post here about "potential" and "promises". I see either of two things happening:
1) BS loses all dignity and begins to make posts that sound like IK, Soph, or Xanth (whatever happend to him anyway?).
2) BS hangs his head in shame and quietly fades away.
2) BS hangs his head in shame and quietly fades away.
But he/she is paid by the post aren't they?
Can't blame them for trying to make a living I guess!
Apparently.

I dont buy this one bit. this is probably just a move by nutsac to make it look like he knows what he is talking about now unlike before when he didnt own the game and now everyone that sees his/her messages should believe him/her. Still saying this guy/girl works for AD/Farlan somehow. Whether he/she gets paid with real $$ or just peanuts, dont listen to a word this guy/gal is going to say in future posts. This just looks like he/she is setting up to for some funny bullshit posts.
So why did you by this game again? You finally couldnt continue to believe yourself when making all these lame posts? If you did get the game why would you still post those obvious lies from your first post? That would be the dead give away right there. You could at least of said "ya ya i bought the game and finaly saw this game blows". Anyways cant wait to see what other BS posts you have to make You BLOODY SHILL

Server down for a patch, so I thought I'll post something
Again thx for all the flames/speculations/rumors/character attacks
I'm sure if it was in reverse... well you get the picture
This was no review, just my first impression, btw still early days. I am relieved that my first impression was good though. Will see how it pans out over the next few weeks.
later
you still dont know what is happening on dnl,right?
Well,those of us that were on Beta for a long time could tell you that there has not been any mayor improvement in development since later 2004/early 2005.What they got then its basically what they got now.
How is this possible? I mean,development(aside from initial production work) starts on half 2002...on half 2004 they got basically what they have released so....what were they doing on the mid2004-mid2006 period?
I tell you what.On August 2004 Vicent Poireux left Np3.The rest of the team werent able to understand or use the tools Poirex made for Mafate so they got to create new tools(finally that tools were made by Snailgame).The result of this issue is: reinventing the wheel that Poireux made for them.
So yeah,when i see ......"next few weeks" i could only laugh.They had 2 years to make what you say will be done on "few weeks".....two friggin years.
Use your reasoning man,nor your faith.I dont know if you believe me nor if you were a betatester nor since when but the fact that
Mid2002-Mid2004 ---- DnL ,Poireux left
Mid2004-Mid2006 -.. ¿¿??
Make the future of DnL very unstable.
Lol the cries screaming from the DnL forums can be heard for thousands of miles.
here are the headlines just taken from the titles of the new posts since the patch.
"healer/enchanter helpless afetr patch"
"Not getting crafting xp now"
"anyone else NOT getting TN increases since patch?"
"Crafting still/even more messed up...
"Druid problems"
"Agnar and his followers Gimped AD read pls"
"Anyone else getting there map wiped ?"
"Pls help me, i have problems with D&L"
As you can see everything is going as planned and all this potential is being all realized now in these huge content updates..... Are you not happy they patch the game "more than any mmo after release"?

Pix (pourieux) has posted on the jeuxonline boards:
http://forums.jeuxonline.info/showpost.php?p=12137014&postcount=51
Here's the translation:
>>>The fact is that if Farlan had not hidden (or even transformed and taken advantage of ) the truth about the departure of the original 2002-2004 dev team (the one that have actually imagined and developped the main technical?and artistic aspects of DnL) the community would have been more careful about all the lies that are now the foundation on which DnL "fanhood" has been built.
What you have to understand is that it is the very base of the development team that left the project in 2003, 10 persons out of 15.
-Technical Director
-Art Director
-Computer Graphics Designers (among them the one that created the giant dragons, but also animators)
-Satellite Database Engineer
-Shader Programmer
-UI development and tools Programmer
-Other Programmers
....
As of today the bleeding has not stopped and new recruits are leaving as we speak.
Even the Beta Testers have been manipulated through false promises and announcements on the Beta forums.
And today Farlan/NP3 requires that they remain silent under the pretext of the ongoing NDA.
Some say today: "We don't care about the How and the Why DnL is in the state it is today", and that baffles me.
Becaue in the end, everyone will be treated the same way we've been: clients, fans, journalists, companies that supported the project, inside and outside developpers...
And there's another question that remains unanswered:
today, why is all the communication about the game based on old 2002-2004 screenshots (like these ones ,where we can see the Vworld 2002 landscape and the Dragon attacking skeleton army which was not an ingame screenshot but a pre calculated, pre recorded script)?
A simple google search will proove that today's DnL marketing is mainly based on old screenshots and videos.<<<
It really is something how some people will not only like to pay for a broken game, but then are willing to sacrifice any credibility and dignity defending said broken game.
i mean, this Blacksac person and XytX or whatever his name is must be worth their weight in gold for sheister develpers
Blacksac would have been a great information minister for Saddam
"The game is going great. There have been no problems so far. As my illustus leader, Vuaar says, the launch went off without a hitch!
The people that claim the game is in shambles are just hateboys! The game is perfect!!11"
Lol!
You've obviously never played or at least recently. Level 5 takes several hours, level 8 takes like 20.
All you hatebois need to disprove anything Blacksac said in his mini review instead of just saying the same shit you say in every other one of your posts. Everything he said was true: beautiful world, too much lag, satisfying mob hunting if only in the low levels that we've tried and many bugs.
They really only have to fix a few things to make this puppy much more intriguing than most of the crap out there including WoW. Fix the balloons, invert mouse and other obvious bugs, put some more mobs in game and reduce the lag. Bing, done deal. Definitely would be a great game.
Some people are just happier bitching though.

Its amazing that its so simple to fix, yet none of these things occured to the devs in the last 6 years
Beautiful world? Um, no. Blurry textures, blocky low poly models, scenery that looks ok, as long as you are miles from it. Boring combat, almost every system broken.
Then the fact that the devs don't read the boards, the mods continually flame their own customers, patches which break more than they fix. Even when they were just trying to fix what they broke with the last patch.
Some are happy bitching? Some are happy spreading lies and closing their eyes rather than admit they are dead wrong.

Maybe you should go back to the OP and read what it says. According to him, nothing is wrong, everything is sun shine and lolipops. This was the first post that he made after actually buying the game. So calm down fanny, learn to read and you won't embaras yourself anymore.
Ppl on here who keep saying the same negative flaming comments are starting to sound like a broken record.. Its funny to see ppl read all the bad comments on this game,,then go out and buy it only to write and repeat the same flaming negative comments based on what other ppl said.. Why? lol.. U guys already heard from everyone else exactly what is wrong with DnL,so why waste the time and repeat what other ppl say?
I'll give a honest review and first impression of DnL..But I'll attempt to do what most ppl haven't,actually list the positives and good aspects of the game.. If its really as atrocious as everyone says,I'll be sure to list the worst features of the game..
BTW,thanks for the honest first impression Black..

Your obviously new here because you are the one that has no idea what they are talking about. Firstly, anachyart is not a fanboy in my book or most peoples. Secondly, if Blacksac wants to wait through the 2 weeks that are awful in nearly every MMO(even if he may be a fanboy), then why do we have a problem with him being an smart/informed consumer, exactly? Thirldy, Blacksac definitely stated there were several "bugs" in the game.
His post came across as completely honest, yet everyone flamed him anyway, as he knew he would be. I hate this game as much as the next person, but I find peoples reactions to this particualr thread to be completely uncalled for. Flaming a bad game is one thing, but flaming someone giving an honest review(even if you've grown tired of his previous statements) is crossing the line in my book.
