New patch, today...Yay

Well  have fun in WoW, I guess. I love AoC though, so I will be playing it as well. Right now i play Lotro, which I like alot, too.

i am subscribing.

I'll be playing then, too. Doesn't seem half finished to me, it has it's share of bugs, but until the last patch I didn't really have much of a problem, so I'm sure they've got it under control for the most part.

The game has more depth than most other MMORPG's out there. And I don't agree with the EQ2 plastic-like character models. I love these models, and the attention to detail.

Give your beta account to somebody who is goin to test the game and give constructive feedback to Funcom :)

I love it so far.

It's a good review, it's fair on his experience, but I have not ever crashed, locked up, or anything. Every new MMOG is going to have problems at launch, but I don't foresee too many compared to other launch experiences I have had.

Pretty much all the servers have a stable number of players, but Brandywine is the most populated, and Landroval is the 2nd most.

I always say...if you're curious and want to try it, just do it :D

Yeah I know it would, but I remember playing this a long time ago and I liked it. But not all that many people even know about Ryzom...

The women are capable of looking dainty and attractive, or butch and harsh, fat and ugly...Whatever you want, you just need to play around with the features more ;D

Well the 1st set of levels are played out in an instanced area, but after that the game opens up, so the limitations are only there at the begining.

I never did crash or hit any big bugs, so weather or not you disagree with me on my experience,  I don't care.

 

I am starting to think people were expecting "Oblivion" style landscapes or Vanguard proportioned worlds...

 

And most games cannot handle it...

Look at Vanguard...lol...

Same with LOTRO...you know when you enter another zone..(switching servers, etc...)...they also have invisible walls...

WoW is pretty seamless...but still has some loads...

So...really...I am unsure of what people thought?

I don't know, but there has been alot of confusion about the game being fully instanced and ridiculously linear, which is not the case. I think the closest thing I can compare it to is EQ2, except the zones are generally much larger with more to them, except in the beginning.  Every game has the "invisible wall" problem, here and there, but people are thinkin this game is going to be riddled with them and that's just not the case.

It was in late response to the OP, sorry :)

URFUBAR - The beginning levels of the game are played out like a single player RPG to an extent, because that's when they really try to bring your character into the story and get you used to the game before letting you out into the big picture.  They don't give much in terms of exploration and freedom until after you're done with that part.

Yeah, kind of strange they didn't sell it to another developer, though.

Isn't ST:O being developed by another company now?

I don't know what game you're testing but it sure as hell isn't what I am.

All of your disappointments have very little truth to them

Instances are not everywhere.

5 minute load times...Welcome to the beta test

Invisible walls everywhere - Nope

Combat system  - All I have to say is No.

I've never crashed or hit any big bugs in this game.

I've never lagged around other people.

Skill Customization...No.

I don't know what it is you're seeing, to be honest...It's almost like they gave you an entirely different version of the game than they gave me and most other people on here.

Yep, the 8800 series is going to run hotter than others, it's designed to withstand it.  If you're that uncomfortable with it take off the side of your comp case

That actually good do a lot more harm than good.  Well-designed cases are laid out such that a constant flow of air runs over the components to pull hot air out -- opening up the case can disrupt that flow, allowing hot air to linger around the components.

On my old card, before I had my 8800gts, it would run really hot with the case closed and I had no clue why, when I opened the side of the case it went back down to normal. And this is a new computer.
