ill admit its not a simple game to get use to, the whole start of this game will be re-worked, very old game that needs some love :p but the mechanics and diversity in characters and builds is amazing, not one person is the best in this game, it takes a team to be the best having the variety of builds work as one

Hey OP, why would anyone want to play this instead of UO? Can you describe the game without using fluffy babby's first generic minmaxing like this:astoniareborn posted:ill admit its not a simple game to get use to, the whole start of this game will be re-worked, very old game that needs some love :p The March Hare posted:I lasted ~4 minutes.

The official wikia link has absolutely no content. Literally none. Just a sentence saying that we can help build this ultimate guide, and a few sentences of ad copy. I have written more in this post than there exists content on this wiki. The manual prioritises talking about how clan bonuses and maintenance fees work, with helpful things like "how to build your character" buried beneath — and even then, while it tells you what skills to invest in, it doesn't tell me why "bless" is the most important wizard spell, or if there are any other options for weapon skills as a warrior. It gives the impression that there is really only one way to build your character in this game which you've touted the build-your-own-class nature of at every opportunity, and that going for anything else is a dumb move. Again, I have no idea as a prospective player why I'd want to follow these instructions to the letter, beyond the general idea of fighterlyness or wizardlyness. Professions also appear a confusing design choice. The Mercenary's special power is getting paid for doing missions (isn't that what basically every other game does whenever you complete a quest?  ) and implementing a "trader" class that just gives you a bonus for buying/selling smacks of a lazy way to 'balance' doing trade runs between NPCs by adding a character skill tax/opportunity cost to doing so, instead of making trade something inherently challenging with a reward that goes with it. Also it means that anyone keeping an eye on their pocket book will probably keep an alt character around (or harass that one loser working as their group's fantasy accountant) to sell their poo poo.Plus, having to type a slash command to share stuff seems like a clumsy solution. E: Screw it. I'm going to continue. Your Steam Greenlight page doesn't actually tell me anything useful about the game as a prospective player. It's all dry descriptions of mechanics that tell me if I reach a certain level and clear all the dungeons and fight a boss, I can dump all my progress and become a "Seyan Du". I originally glazed over the phrase on the website, the paragraph mentioning them being an incredibly boring bit about shadows and other fantasy garbage that my eyes slide off, but apparently they're a warrior/mage multiclass instead of some kind of elf with a derivative fantasy name as I had originally assumed. Apparently this is "one of the most complex statistics building games ever made, with a very very wide range of different builds and statistics, if your into games that are actually a challange and makes you work your brain, this is for you", but all that I've seen so far (including a brief glance at the guides section on the forums) tells me that there's pretty strict classes with a whole lot of false choices and a few "right ways" to make your fighter/mage/elf. Following a recipe without any insight as to why a character should be built that way isn't exactly making me work my brain. The next three paragraphs are descriptions of game mechanics that tell me I can go and kill X demons and mine for X silver units. This is the kind of poo poo that people have mocked MMO design with as long as there have been fetch quests ("fetch me thirteen bear asses"), and completely fail to sell me on anything. Not only that, but it's poorly written too, containing a healthy mixture of grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors, and is, again, absolutely useless information for anyone who doesn't know what this game is and why they should play it. I cannot overstate enough how little of a drat I give about these terrible descriptions of semi-random quests, loot in "pentegram areas", and so on. They are clumsily and poorly introduced, tell me very little, and take up tons of space on what's essentially your sales pitch. The comments section on the Greenlight page is overwhelmingly negative too, with most people outright bashing it, and even the person who voted for it out of nostalgia for the original game doesn't think it should be on Steam. Ports of extremely derivative mobile phone games have made it on Steam free-to-play, along with a bunch of other trash that has been nearly universally panned. Voted 1, went hog wild.

okay but really this is a worse game than T4C (The Fourth Coming) which was like, my first mmo (after getting blown up by a lock box in UO), which was made in like 1998 or something and had some really cool statistical classing and choicing like you had to have stats to use gear and you could be a wizzard dagger man that would cast earthquakes or a platemail wearing fireball man (at like level 650). That was pretty cool. It also didn't ask me to go (DOWN AND RIGHT) to find a person to give a potion to or some poo poo. i think im going to go play the fourth coming again. thanks.

I'm a little bit busy at the moment with other games-related writing, but after the thread closed I regretted not doing this, so.. I will have the equivalent of an impressions article/light review posted by the end of the week!  astoniareborn, if you are still reading this thread and haven't vanished, I would like to invite you onto a Skype call (or any other free means of your choosing) so we can talk about your game as I stream and record my play session. Believe it or not, I work in games journalism, and while I've been groaning and making cracks about this thread, I am 100% prepared to give your game a fair shake. Anything I write is not going to be published outside this thread, and I'm not going in with a negative narrative in mind. Please, show me what makes your game good in your eyes. You've got until October 30 to respond. Anyone interested in joining the stream call is also welcome to sign up in this thread. If astoniareborn accepts the call and doesn't want to share it, I'll leave that up to him, but otherwise I'm keen to get some extra voices on board.

  Why do I have to log in using an account identifier (1781, presumably meaning that there are 1780 other accounts. It seems too small to be random) AND my email address, and a password, instead of just my email/username and a password? Edit: the installer has no option to change the target location. Edit 2: The developer has been contacted via the contact form ("Contact Game") on the website. You will be informed if this call is happening.
