I've been hoping for a while to get in on the "ground floor" of a MMORPG.

I stumbled across an Interesting game on Sept 19th (after the SWG disaster I stopped looking that hard). It was supposed to go live the next day, and pre-ording crossed my mind. I'm glad I did'nt now after reading some of the posts. I bought it at EB today a mile from my house.

Now, to my point.

I wanted to be here in the begining (or atleast very close after beta). It took me about hour to create an account. The account creation page laaaggged so bad I was getting scared the game would too. Finally I create an account and start to play.

First thing I did was accept a trade. Thought wow just logged in got new boots a magic focus staff thingy a dagger thingy +10 for the boots and dagger. Thanks Elianddra or something like that

Then the game froze!!!!! Then it took like 5 minutes to log back on. (cable internet,2.4 gig processor 1gig ram and 256mb video). It shouldnt take that long.

Then they shut down the sever within 15 minutes.

I got in on the ground floor LOL Got what I wished for.

I'm not complaining I'm rambling.

Finally to my point, Most of the forum suggestion for patching the game are wonderful a few will just be ignored for their lameness.

But if they add too many features that are standard to MMORPGs without adding some kind of unique SoR tweeks I fear the game will become a clone of all the sad, tired, and boring MMORPGs that are out there.

Oh dear!! Be glad you weren't on the ground floor for Anarchy Online!! HA! Make that Basement level 20 Yeah there's some work to be done, but this game rocks - the CS is awesome, and the community is top-notch.

I wouldn't trade that combination for ANY "This game is cool because we devs are uber" MMO coming out soon (EQII, WoW).

I dont think this game will be a clone ... It reminds me of UO in its early days. There are some things missing from this game that are badly needed (chat system needs work, splitting stacks on items, small UI changes, small skill tweaks, fix some bugs) but other than that there is a really amazing base of a MMOG here. We have not seen the RAID system in action yet, and if they can pull off what they claim, then that should be a huge plus for this game. I am waiting to see what they do from here.

Bad luck perhaps. I've played a week now and there haven't been any lag or other server issues. They did a patch yesterday and it created some lag problem. It was lagging all day today. Finally they took the server down to put in a patch to fix the lag problem.
