well it looks shockingly bad. Graphics are out dated, user interface is shocking and it feel slike a heavily stripped down swg, Not what I was hopping for hope theres some massive updates before release.

Parts of The Shire look really nice, Ered Luin is a little bleak and basic looking to say the least, as are the Lone Lands. In my opinion the world is far too small.

I actually started a Kinship with the Idea of expanding The Godless into a few different games with SCM from these boards who is currently playing like a man demented :)

His IGN is Asker, when I left I handed the Kinship over to him, say hi if you see him.

Might be a good place for OcUKers to gather althiugh the name of the kinship might be changed come release. Up to you guys but you know where it is.

My reasons for stopping playing/testing:

It's not that bad, it just doesn't do anything new or outstanding.

meh, spose ill give it a spin though, gonna have to make it quick though, im not putting my system under load to much tonight, 2 of my fans for my 2 double 120mm radiators went down, and it was for my gpu loop :s so i got 1 120mm fan cooling both the gfx on the radiator and one on the cpu.

ummm, am i the only one who is stuck on the connecting to server part from the client?

cant get past it, it just says 'Connecting to Nortmoor' and doesnt do anything for ages...

ill try a restart of the pc and maybe that will help.

ags

EDIT. did the restart, and nothing... still stuck on connecting.

During the first stress test this screen could stay up for around 30 mins before finally letting you in.

Go make a cup of tea, drink it, walk the dog or go and buy a dog if you don't have one, feed it, make more tea then you should be in.

I'm pretty sure its OC who would get in trouble, as that's where the content is being published for the public to see :).

Whatever the case, he isn't meant to be taking screenies and posting them publicly :p

Ocuk haven't agreed to any nda, so they couldn't get in trouble even if they hosted them. They certainly wont get in trouble for a hotlink in any case.


Personally I'd edit your quote. ;)

The lighting is awful though, it looks like a nuclear explosion has happened in the background.

HAHA, classic :)

i got let in eventualy, then found out it was a cheap remake of WoW with some L2 graphics and a dash of HDR :) so i stopped, also, my hunter )got to lvl 6) was way to overpowered, there was no real sense of "oh **** i need to think" if you know what i mean.

I got bored very quickly, was nice chatting to you Hugogo and some other ocuk folk, after I tried some other classes I decided im prob not gona play any more, the game doesn't really offer anything new.
 
holy thread revival !!!
thought i was done with MMo's after Galaxies died, WoW just looks like teletubby land but was bored and dwnloaded the beta from fileplanet and well last two nights ive lost 3-6hrs kip !! idk what it is about it but i just kept saying to myself, yeah its ok, nothing special oooh whats that oh ok one more mission then bed ..
initially it had lots of problems and many were put off , anyone playing it atm ? views ?
 
I was wondering if anyone had a spare key? I'm already in the beta but I think a friend of mine would enjoy the game so I'm trying to get him in.

PM me if you got one lying around. If not he can wait till CVG give out a few more :)

Cheers
 
tbh, its hardly anything uber and as others have said, no PVP.

or has this changed? I've not played the beta since the last stress test tbh
 
ive not seen any PvP ingame but ive only had the latest beta for a few days and its something i wouldnt really be bothering with, i happy to wander around slaying stuff and exploring, altho i wish there was a waypoint maker instead of sketchy directions for missions (or maybe ive missed something)

if anyone has pre-ordered whats the cheapest it can be had for ? dont know whether to get this ;-
