Well... Lessee... Played on the beta, but the performance issues and the somewhat counter intuitive controls scared me away.
Though the open sourced engine and such was a major attraction.
Been gameless since leaving world of warcraft. Been in rp guilds on just about every game out there. Saw a review of this somewhere... "The game sucks! all anyone wants to do is roleplay!".
I failed to see how this was a negative thing, so I thought I'd come back and check it out.
Of course, the game is down for a major update.

To be honest, your timing is perfect. Once the game comes back, the "new player zone" will be completely revamped and should be a much nicer place. Be patient, this update should be worth it. See you ingame.

*ROFLMAO*

Well, that´s a truly cool Review... *LOL*
Must´ve been an E-Sports Fanatik who wrote that. *giggle*

And yes, there are some truly great new things just behind the horizon.

And due to this, lots of old players will be making new characters to explore the new newbie island, so there should be plenty of people around to help you out!

Thanks.
The tools have me a little excited, actually. I'm a game developer by profession, mostly budget titles until recently.
Be nice to be able to play with the toys.

Can you do custom models, or just use assets to make a level?

For now, it's just pre-defined assets, as I understand it. What "phase 2" will bring depends on how much business it brings in, I suspect. If the demand is there and there's enough additional business, it could be worth their time to allow custom models. But not yet.

Welcome (nearly) to Atys!!! *huggles*

Good to know. I like what I'm reading so far.
Hopefully, the game is as fun as it seems.

I came here to get away from the Power levellers.....I see my choice was wise. *watches Powergamers walking the Hamster wheel of XP"


And welcome to your second look at this land.
