edit - anyone know when this is starting?

its already started

apparently the japanese version has been out for a year so you could watch it on youtube and avoid the NDA ><

Certainly permadeath sounds interesting but can people handle griefing these days?

Interview with the devs, must say, I am pretty excited. Is this the whole everquest team, or just a part of that team?

Edit: Watching that interview, it seems very UO - with the criminal status for people who PVP. Excitement level has just gone through the roof.

Whilst I love the sound of this game, I simply don't have the time to invest in a game like this any more, where a simple miscalculation could be the end of a lot of hard work.

Kutter · 22 Nov 2012 at 13:32

according to the forums there is already high level players griefing new players in a low level dungeon

Thats the beauty of it! Real Risk!

Yeah that is completely inevitable. It only take s a small bunch of *****. Still, be interesting to see how they handle it.

You would have to be flagged for PvP surely? Or do you mean they are pulling mobs and running off?

dear god !! this is very marmite

I have absolutely no idea how this all works, other than the permadeath aspect, which isnt really apparently... but I would be surprised if PvP is optional as it kind of removes that hardcore aspect.

Ah well, going to download tonight and go into it fresh. Anyeone know client size?

Kutter · 22 Nov 2012 at 14:13

about 2 gig waste of bandwidth.

Felt like i was playing a game from 1999.

Yeah I appreciate that, and when I had hours a week to dedicate to gaming, I'd have been more inclined to play Hardcore. But when I have a few hours at most to game, I don't want the additional worry of losing my time investment.

fair enough, I only have a couple of hours a night but dont mind that much. miss the old days of non stop day long sessions. Kids!

Really liking this game so far, though I wish the Character Creation was less random with the stats (sat there for about an hour rolling over and over until I got the highest I could, reminds me of Baldur's Gate)

Thanks again for the key Caz!

GamePot... YEA ok i will stay away...

JBod · 17 Feb 2013 at 08:08

This game is out now, why is it not receiving more love? I am gonna give it a go.

Devlish · 17 Feb 2013 at 09:27

Loaded it, felt like id timewarped back to the far distant past, everything was clunky and awkward. Just too much other good stuff to play right now to try and discover the game beneath the poor mechanics/visuals.

Yes exactly the griefing example should be allowed but then bounties should be put on the griefer's head and some kind of law enforcers should become involved.

Make it all player run. Make it profitable to hunt down and bring in griefers (dead or alive

)

Sounds interesting mmo though shall keep my eye on it.

MrJohnSherry · 17 Feb 2013 at 11:52

It was a good concept, but in my opinion very clunky and awkward to play. If you can get past that, I would say there would be a lot of fun to be had in this game!
