• • The Chronicles of Spellborn: In Talks with US Publisher

  • This is great news. I hope that with this extra time they have a smooth and relatively error free release.

    I have also read about beta testing from TCoS forums and it sounds like they are asking the beta testers to do specific things and all be in a specific area at the same time to test for lag and server load stuff. It makes me wonder how much "freeplay" they give the beta testers. That might be what they are looking for in a tester, the ability to follow directions and stay quiet. So my two cents is they are using the beta test phase much to the advantage of building a better game at release. I am sure this would impress a publisher after seeing a product working well but not quite there yet.

    I think a lot of TCoS fans are looking for three wishes. Published. Released. and a speedy next 6 months or so to Play.

    General Discussion
• • If open betas in Q2...

  • Martie, great question. I looked at Pyroxenite's original post and it does not seem to match the title to the thread and then things degenerated into a discussion on mmo's and what mmo reminds you of, or is better than X other mmo.  Perhaps the topic is there is no topic? maybe the OP has a better answer?

    I do agree tho. This is a very difficult thread to follow. My guess is that WAR being pushed back will help TCoS. Might if TCoS comes out first. I do not think that looks like it will happen, def not in the US. So? perhaps a post, like mine, is way off topic. Forgive me. I was more following a conversation rather than the point of the orginal post.

    The Chronicles of Spellborn
• • Only thing from letting me enjoy the game...

  • I had similar experiences and found that on a few occasions that. Since i did not come over to VG with a guild from a diff game it was real hard to get in and or fit in with a bunch of people that new each other for years in an diff mmo.

    Also, grouping could be done but some nights I just logged out after 30-45 mins of lfg. I really liked the game but was not in love with it. Might still be playing with more friendly feelings from encounters with others. My experience prompted me to roll several lower lvl toons and before I quit for good I had a cleric at 24, bard at 20 monk at 18 and a few others over 10. Maybe that was not what others experienced? I am think many that are still playing have many in game friends and came over with them via a guild of a different mmo? Seemed hard for some reason to make friends. i did make friends and even still talk to 1 of them who also quit. Only she went back to WoW. Not an option for me, lol.

    So it does not surprise me as I would think that there are less people now than in the first 4 months of the game. Same experience and less people = not good. Community, or lack there of can kill a game, even a good game that is really fun.

• • Any MUG's from HG server around?

  • I miss you guys. Just wondering and would think sombodys got to be around. I am Tiru from HG. Was sworn to Jynxed for a long long time. Was recently trying to reach her and I am sure she is deeply in to WoW.

    Say Hi and what are you playing now?

• • What MMO Was/Is Better Than AC1?

  • Burtzum, You are quite correct. I am lucky that I never got scammed in 6+ years. We seemed to learn about the scams like the trade window trick and tell everyone in the guild to not show strangers your gear in a trade window. I also knew most of the people I played with and could go knock on there door in person.

    There were griefers for sure. and thieves. Sorry your PPGSA was ripped. I can only imagine your anger.

    I loved the small little guild of MUG's. Most Unorganized Group. We ended up being a tight knit bunch and everyone in the guild really gave and helped with what ever was needed. sadly tho I do remember the spam and grief of thefts. also, there was some manipulation for vassals in the beginning that made for some uncomfortable relationships. That passed by in time though.

    Hopefully other games realized this and made better trade windows as that seemed to be the main way to steal. Also had a few FFA players that got a rep in game and we just let them bull in a china shop till they got there drop or we moved on to other areas. I still see peolpe loosing alot of sleep over others actions. Even last night on Skype my friend spent a good 30 minutes in game explaining the frustration of the hunters in her guild being asked to NEVER have pet on any other raid again. Oh the drama. I laughed at her and wondered if they would just get rid of hunters in that guild? I will hear more tonight.

    Thanks for the reminder that all was not perfect and pleasant. There was some A**holes that still did not ruin (for me) the best mmo so far.  Forgive my sentimental nonsense as I really miss and made some great friends in AC1. My Ex-wife (wife at the time) could not stand AC and I got her son hooked on it too :)

    I hope TCoS comes close. I might not even bother with anything else until maybe I can get in on a EU server.
