To what level were you able to play in your previous betas? Was it past the tutorial areas?

---

Max (aka 80). Multiple times.

Arda asks: "Will there be player made addons, if so what script language will it be in and how much freedom will players have to create their own addons.?"

Athelan: "There is no support for player made addons. Opening up for player addon's opens up the code and game to exploitation and hacking security wise in a very big way. We decided to put all the hooks we could into the interface and allow full re-skinning in XML but no open language for the players to create their own modules.."

That screenshot seems to have been touched up.

Don't worry, that boat won't stay afloat for long ;)

So you're saying these huge lag spikes I get really frequently are just because of the servers and such? Oh thank god. For a second I thought my 8800 Ultra, duo core and 2GB RAM couldn't handle even low.

Any way to get rid of the DOS box? When I run through the patcher and click Play the game doesn't pop up.

Also, anyway to make the textures compressed so my computer isn't boiling to the point I can cook eggs?

There are no magic builds.

On the other hand, the gold version is not the released version.

Well I have never seen an open beta that restricted you to such a low lvl or seen a game not lift the NDA completely this close to release. Hell even vanguard had an unrestricted open beta and had npcs that would make you higher lvl so you could try out different lvl content.

If the game was in such great shape will all the features it promised why wouldn't they want people to be able to try them all and show off as much of the game as possible. I think it's pretty obvious they are scambling to get this game done it will be interesting to see what kind of shape it's in 2 weeks from now.

Not at all. Why would a company with any brains let you experience the full product for free? It doesn't make sense.

 

THink of it like the traditional cliche of the crack dealer who gives you a LITTLE for free....and then once your hooked...

"Keeping it wrapped up like a present", eh Warg0ul?

Sorry a little off topic here, but I think if the game didn't have EIGHTY levels, then a level 13 cap wouldn't seem so bad. But with EIGHTY levels, the level cap should be at LEAST 25. Come on, that's just a little more than 1/4 into the game. Throw us a bone. A bigger bone!

I don't recall a company lifting their CLOSED beta NDA. In fact, the majority besides perhaps the Asian based MMOs don't (even they don't, they are just more laxed).

Open beta NDA is already lifted. Yes, there is a level cap restriction. No, it's not the only company that had a level cap restriction for Open beta.

No need for panic. Stay tuned for the opinion of those who will play the open beta. If it's not enough for you and you are still interested in the game (interested in playing, not posting on some forum such as this), then wait for the free trial that is bound to come a couple months after release. Or maybe grab a buddy key from somebody.

If you're absolutely adamant that you need to be in the game from day -1 (without doing proper research), then you will need to realise that you're gambling. And those who gamble accept the risk.

I'm not sure what agenda Alanon is holding, but if you look beyond all the negativity, it seems that he's totally convinced that the 1-13 gameplay will be a first class experience, while what's not shown will not be. I say that because he's not touching at all what's about to be shown and only tackles what's hidden from the public eye.

It will be interesting to know the basis of this distinction between the two parts of the game. If the only distinction is what's shown and what is not, then I'm afraid that, as far as I'm concerned, it's not a very solid basis of an argument against the game.

With every bit of information released, those negatively biased seem to take a step back at a time. Right now we moved past the combat mechanics and moved to the 1-13 content. Soon enough it'll be the 1-80 content. Then end PvP or end PvE content and so on.

I wonder when people will find a real issue with the game (instead of the possibility that such a problem might exist). The coming weeks will be most interesting indeed.

This whole argument is a tad pointless unless we gather some information on how the game is perceived at levels 1-13. If the general consensus is positive, then we can start worrying about later levels and content in it (some of us anyway). If the general consensus is negative however, the whole argument about the level barrier is pointless.

LOTRO patched 1.07 live today. Guess what, they had a 2 hours extra delay to their scheduled maintenance. It's the nature of the beast and you'd better get used to it ;)

Here is a prime example of somebody who is not fit to beta test anything. And doesn't know what he's paying for and to who either. Way to go ;)

Only the 1-5 beach-to-Tortage outer gate part is single player. The rest of the game is multiplayer except for one quest chain line. The destiny quest line however is not optional, you can't get off the island unless you complete it.

I've made lots of good RL friends. Does that count?

The first hour(s) with everyone rushing to get in will be interesting indeed :)

Just in case you're not actually a troll, you will find the discussion below:

http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/176428/page/1

A freshly made account with a post that links to another thread, just so as to generate some negative spin. Smells troll to me.

Your concerns would be as valid posted in the original thread created for it.
