Hi guys,

Came across a new MMO today which uses a version of the unreal engine but employing a new landscape engine to create an immense terrain.

Its been in beta for a while but officially launches in 11 days from me writing this post!

You could say it looks like Oblivion online but in actual fact its been developed stronly with Ultima Online in mind.

Just wondering if anyone on here has tried the beta and what their feelings on it were, second to that if it works on multi screens!

The trailer sure makes my mouth water however it's again one of those very expensive & well made MMORPG. Having played Dark Age Of Camelot in its time, I'm not sure it will be able to keep my interest long enough without being highly repetitive like all those games of this genre are.

plus as always, a large part of the game is tied to the maturity of its community which is not a given


PS: why is this in the "game solutions" subforum ?

I have a mate in the beta and he reckons this game is a bit of a mess and this guy is an Ultima vet so he knows the score. I'll quiz him some more when I'm talking to him.

A half-baked MMO? Who has ever heard of such a thing?

Indeed, I was on Conan during the 1st week, the horror. Bugs galore, never joining a fresh MMO again, let them mature or die.

The bugs in AoC were so hilarious though
Buttsliding was a way of life, me and my friends stopped playing after they fixed it ;_;

LOL, I did my share of butt sliding. Nearly suffered from epileptic seizures from all the flickering textures too. I'm an FPS'er at heart so all the tedious raiding didn't really sit well with me, I prefer to take the Leroy Jenkins approach.
