AC2 works quite well with windows7 - and even 8, only some minor issues like graphics glitches remain. But as said, this is beta and our job is weed those out
Sadly Ryzom severely lack differing content, even compared to the mos basic quest based MMOs. And neat as the stanza system seems to be at the start, it actually just add almost unneeded layer of complexity. - In the end players end up with similar…
More variation, less repetition. Once player hits lvl50, everything Ryzom has to offer gameplaywise has been seen. Oh well, except that the options for hunting and whatnot get less with advancing.
Seems like the possibilities of the engine are som…

Originally posted by gxgunny Hmm... one way trip for me is 119 ms. I can't exactly time the reverse route, but I am thinking it would be similar. Assuming it is the same, that is only a little over 2 seconds round trip. More than enough time to …

It would help EVE devs if people could prove that EVE servers are reachable during those timeouts by using traceroute, pingplotter or similar tool - and at least it would show the point of failure in trunk, which could be addressed, probably by EVE …
Internet routes have funny habit of converging, especially if talking about intercontinental traffic. And of course one router going even temporarily bonkers can have nice cascade effects netwide.
Internet isn't reliable transport mechanism - it w…
Originally posted by Rocketeer 2. Offer us RP servers, this is more work, extra GMs and just to please a relatively small part of their customers. RP server = Good. Landroval in the US isn't really the same, you won't even know its the unofficial RP…
Originally posted by Philby Between MOM and F2p more than a few people left the game. Mirkwood brought back some player for awhile but the game lost subs. Stagnattion is one word for it I guess but the fact is the game had nowhere near the populati…
Java is still a remnant of old Sun programming problem solving paradigm, why solve problems with style, when we just can throw it more memory? And of course now that Oracle owns Java things are even more interesting as future is concerned.

In one respect VG housing is the best I've seen in any MMO so far - the housing items are all freely placeable inside the house, no hooks or grid like in the other games I've played. Other great thinkg from my point of view is that houses are almost…
Some settings that give additional speed or extra client stability are in the settings of the game itself:
Disable volumetric clouds from the video tab if on
From the performance tab, disable both occlusions and the 'Use provided shaders' settin…
