Yes.  When you register an account, the key is sent to the email you input.

The website may have been optimized for other browsers since the game launched, but if not, use Internet Explorer to create a new account.

*grins*  I'm going to have to mention that I thought Laura would totally rock the demo, and she did.  I bumped into Fury people at one of the parties and was told that they thought it was Adam playing and were thinking... "C'mon, Adam, let the guest play!"  Adam later told them that it was Laura pwning their behinds all along.

Dana and I played it quite a bit at PAX.  I have to admit, that the 4 man team does make things more interesting.  I've always enjoyed a 4 person group in EQ.  It keeps you on your toes.

Confirming a few things that I encountered during PvP play.

The spells and abilities will be balanced for PvP in the PvP instances - similar to what was done for EverQuest, when you go into a PvP area, the spells and abilities will be different from what you are used to in PvE.

Yes, he dodged my magic missiles.  We ran through several scenarios as well as the tavern brawl area.  Unless I failed my roll *that* many times to hit, he succeeded in dodging my magic missiles.  Ran behind pillars, tumbled, dodged.  He even mentioned how it could be done because combat in DnD is "Real Time."  I'll talk to Dana about getting some "in writing" clarification from Turbine about PvP, but realise too that this is still in beta and things will change as needed prior to release.

Characters used were both level 6.  James chose a Warforged Ranger and I selected an Elven Sorceror.

As for "dodging" magic missles not being possible in DnD... well, isn't Enhancements also an DND Online thing?  ;)

The Y-axis is a horizontal direction...he meant the Z-axis for vertical.  Being a Computaer aided draftsman this little "oops" bugs me.

Being a 23 year D&D Veteran, and HUGE Eberron fan, DDO bugs me. I was in beta, there were too many inconsistences. Now with PvP, they better not change the spells for PvE, that will be lame, Magic missiles, are always supposed to hit, that's why they do less dmg than other spells!!!

Aye, I noticed that part in the article about one character's "dodging" the other's magic missiles. Tsk, tsk.

 Very nice, and good of Keith to reply so quickly.  That's one of the hazards of reporting from a convention floor. Apart from having to deal with the noise, sometimes there's "mis-speaks" sometimes' there's "mis-hears."  I report what is related to me, and being a writer that covers all MMORPGs do not have the in depth knowledge that many readers and fans have of a particular game.

However, James *was* pretty excited that their map of Stormreach was published or being published in the Pen n' Paper format.

They were official Eberron Playable race since the beginning and, definitely, Eberron is not a D&D Online creature.

To clarify the matter I wrote to Keith Baker.

{edit}  Oops.  James.

The difference is whether you want the Cinematic Trailer or not.  With Cinematic Trailer is of course a larger download.

First answer:  Yes.  Horses may be bought and ridden by any player with the gold.  Then there are class specific mounts which only can be ridden by players of that class.

Check the Feature & Previews here on MMORPG.com or any of the fan sites for specifics.

Second Answer:  This is medieval China.  You get to pick from... Humans.  2 male and 2 female characters.  Warrior, Assassin, Physician and Hunter.  However, at level 10, you can again select from those 4 professions and any character can be any class.  The starting stats and weapons are just more suited for each class.

/devil's advocate ON!

There actually still are services out there that will PL your toon while you are playing it - so you're not breakng the EULA, although most have been run out of business by the other types.

/did the research, got the tee-shirt. 

Some great discussion going on here folks.  Anyone want to debate on whether the Sony Exchange Servers service is a spawn of the debbil?

*ducks*

I think those that consider a power leveling service as cheating should have been around about 10 years ago, back in the day when Meridian59 and UO were around. People would hack the game so that your spells could not hurt them, while their spells would kill you in one hit.

 They had PKers that would hunt noobs in all the little noob areas, while useing cheats, just to get the response from them.



/shudder  I was around for M59.  These days in UO, you don't have to buy PL services.  You can just buy an "advanced character template" from the UO store.  ;)  Lookie!

Not picking on you Syllvenwood, but yours was the first of several posts that mentioned this... if you check the article, this is what I wrote:

To answer your other concern, I've never known any guilds not to require a trial period to see how well a recruit plays and interacts with the guild to know if it's a good fit. Most top guilds even require an application and an accounting of the character's skills, gear and raid experience. An unskilled player will be ousted very quickly.

In other words, all guilds I've known, require a trial period, especially top guilds.

Carolyn Koh made a very funny and imo a very ignorant statement.
She said that she did not know of any guilds that have a trial period, lol, She obviously doesn't play much of the end game content. From WoW alone i looked at 16 of the major end game raiding guilds and ALL have both an application to complete for review, a period before acceptance to play with other members and they all have a 1 to 2 week trial, rookie, initiate status where you are in the guild but have limited access to guild events or loot while you prove yourself. The 3 major EQ guilds i knew when i played were exactly the same way. To me it seems she just picked the other side to complete an argument without having any actual knowledge or experience in the issue, very funny.

I'd like to see mapping of hot slots to F-keys or number keys.  I've "heard" that it can be done but haven't found a "How to" yet.

I'm still hoping for a "real" users manual now that the game is actually released.

What are you putting your Stat points in?  Let us know your class and weapon specialization too!  If you've decided to specialize that is.

Hunter / Bow
DEX / INT

If not... then goodness, hunter is REALLY gimped...

The Hunter's Passive Skill is Defense.  So yeah, the Hunter is able to have the best defense if you put skill points in DEX and Defense.  If you are putting points in defense, you'll be going Bow, I hope.  ;P

Wow.  Lots of action on these forums.  The official forums and the fansite must still be down.  

Yeah, I like the Gamble boxes but the silly GM quizzes always seem to happen only when I've got 5 things beating on me, or when my niece is playing with my "Doggy"  - poor kid, she's been sent back to the Castle twice already.

Hi there,

Have you got the latest client and are you using Internet Explorer? 

When I started with closed beta, I had the same problem until I realised that I had not read and obeyed the most important part of the instructions at the time... that the Hero website (at the time) was not optimized for other browsers, and it sounds like it still is not.

Give that a try.

Pets do not level up with they lvl up over time


Or as I have discovered since... they level up if you let them "play"   as they gain xp killing critters as well.

I'll be doing a little more testing over the rest of beta although more information might already be posted on the http://www.heroonline.info/ fansite.  Which has proven to contain a wealth of information.

Where is your answer to most important question of E3 about Vanguard and SOE, I have read it in others places, why not here?

By the way, Vangurad still will be my game, even more after of what I read.

One word ... ODD


Maybe you missed it.  Here is the E3 Preview. Clicky.

Just a couple of corrections to my article.  The game is just named "Fury" and it's on the 2ne year of a 3 year development cycle.  So if Auran Games is successful in finding a US publisher, we may be seeing more of the game as early as E3 2007.
