I had a lot of fun playing a year ago during the summer alpha, but I haven't really played since then. I enjoyed the pvp aspects of killing people who weren't necessarily ready to fight, but I hated how you couldn't 'stick' people and prevent them from running away even if you had multiple guys. Is this still a problem? Or was it never a problem and I'm just bad.

It was entertaining, but a lot of good was accomplished in many ways:

1) Forum Rules changed for the better, hopefully a reduction in slurs and other lovely posters
2) #1 racist put on final notice
3) CEO takes strong public stand for equality
4) lovely tryhard guild horrifically shamed
5) Moderator in said tryhard lovely guild publicly reprimanded

Today was a good day.

I want to say the the public demoralizing of the mod, who was really rather douchy was the best win of the night.

Yes, seriously. This.

Basically, if you enjoy making pubbies cry a lot and taking someones gear and inventory when you kill them then this is really the only game to get into right now besides EVE.

Goons still play UO....

I dont know if i can justify $50 for an alpha anymore -- been burned too many times but I am watching this thread closely and will most definitely get the game when it launches for real(probably bringing over 50+ UO men to fight for goon supremacy).

nice though, its refreshing to see actual discourse result in action after consideration. CEO is basically mugging me at this point, might as well sign up before the next wave.

2015 in the year of our lord and racism is spewed unironically and aggressively unfunny by spergs on the internet who are sheltered by the real world and pick it up on their dumb favorite edgy tv show. smdh

Thanks! But apparently, the war is not yet completely over, this guy is on a mission to get himself banned. I'm all for fun trolling and poo poo talking in the context of a game, but I don't understand people who let that spill over into the real world. And frankly I don't want to see an entire subset of people leave a game because of ham-fisted treatment by a couple of terribles.

Seriously I haven't even played the alpha yet but Albion Online Forums is the best game of 2015.

There's a lot of stuns and slows and even roots but if the enemy is prepared and has like speed pots and poo poo then, yeah, they can run from you but it shouldn't be too hard to catch a vast majority of pubbies tbh.

Yeah but it's always on these lovely shards and it's not the same as all those years ago. I still play on all these shards and have put in hundreds of hours into several of the ipy ones so... yeah.

Well I broke and bought the $50 package, it just sounds too fun. Since reading is :effort: how do I get the client pre Monday, and does this thing run windowed well enough to let me afktar my way trough fozziesov while playing?

Once I get in game details I'll slack up etc.

I was wanting a capitalism multiplayer game that isn't Eve Online, and this game seems to scratch this itch pretty well. Multiple auction houses, material trade and speculation between areas, and no vendors!
