Now you will simply get the choice of leveling by paying credit sellers who will kite your char up, which has been going on since 2003, or pay Funcom direct.
Interesting that you don't consider "leveling …
Just downloaded, and apparently they haven't fixed the installer after over a year...granted, i'm getting different error messages.
It used to be something completely cryptic that gave no hint why the client wouldn't install...now it tries to …
Usually that kind of thing goes through in about 15 minutes, assuming you're not logged in.
Does the account page say it's still pending, or does it say there was a problem?

Hate to break it to you, but the new graphics engine has been talked about by Funcom since 2005. They were even giving timelines and giving impressions that it was no more than 12 months away. There were even scree…
Actually what you can "do" in the game is...nothing, at least as long as the installer doesn't work.
I had the "black avatar" problem when I first installed 10.0, so I decided to uninstall and wait for a fix. A few weeks ago i decided to reinstal…
Well, you let people AFK while they level from 80-170 and they never learn how to play.

ok notum wars was on time i guess, but the game still had gamebreaker bugs in them at that point. i remember doing missions in 20k back in the day and we were still contending with falling thru the ground and mobs t…
Can't really call it vaporware, it just sounds like they've decided to standardize all their MMOs on the same engine.
Which, TBH, bodes well for future upgrades and bugfixes since it gives them combined testive players and devs from three game…
Case in point:
The previous poster clearly is one of those who "have to reach endgame by yesterday", and becomes a bitter burnout by grinding high-XP mobs 24/7 instead of trying to enjoy the game.
