I picked this up again. Havnt played since they introduced the Direct X 10 stuff. I was surprised to see that I could max it out and still hit about 40+ FPS.
Its not bad, I am starting to have fun. Have a kickass guild (From several other games.
I am polaying a Dwarf Guardian named Animii, level 23. Has a full set of nice epic crafted armor. He looks great in it. I also have Kikaro, a level 11 Dwarf Minstrel. He looks like crap in his newbie gear so I found that you can get costumes. I decked him out in explorer type cosutmes and a huge brimmed hat. I will have to get my pictures uploaded cause he looks fantastic now!
I will see if the game can hold my interest this time. I just wish I had more time to play.
I am on the Landroval server and it is very populated. I see people wherever I go and lots of friendly people as well. Its a great server.

I'm gonna play soon, but I have to update it. Updating will take days for me it seems, I only got about 1/4 of the files downloaded in 2 days before the crash.
From what I saw it was OK, but then again I don't really know the series. I was just playing it because Caller was.
When I do get back into the game I'm only staying as long as my month long trial, then I'm quitting. I've heard the game ends in 2010, so I don't think I wanna cling to something I know won't be around much longer.

The license ends in 2010 and unless they renew it the game will have to end. It's all rumors but it makes sense. Either that or they won't be able to add new content and just continue to support the game as is. Seems like they're offering 9.99/mo permanently now.
The DirectX update made the game look gorgeous on my computer. I was able to pump that sucker up to near maximum with no slowdown (except with Shadows pumped up, those really hurt my system...).
I haven't really put any serious effort into the game recently. I log on occasionally to craft here and there because that makes me money, though not as much as it used to. When they introduced Warden spears and javelins finally became mainstream weapons so I was making a killing off of it.

I'm on Brandywine, picked it because I knew the name. I love the water reflections in this game just because of the mirror like effect. You don't really see that in many games, not even in seventh generation.

That interface looks exactly like WoW's. But thats not to say WoW's is unique either. There were Korean MMO's that used that same look and feel long before WoW existed.
I like your hat. The forests look nice too.

Nice graphics. You know I am a firm believer in the idea that graphics don't make a game good.....but when it comes to MMOs you can't have shitty graphics. Its just not acceptable.

The graphics are really nice. I'm trying to hold interest in the game, but... I just can't stay focused on any MMO right now.
The game is fun, and I enjoy it, but I'm just having a "meh" stage, and can't get very interested in anything. Gonna let me current free trial expire, and start a new one, I suppose.

It's just that I've never played a game that had water effects that looked like water and not jello or a sheet of plastic wrap or a mix of both. >.> And it even realtime reflects!
This game looked godawful when I started playing but I'm glad they did that DirectX10 update because wow...

I've only noticed Bloom doing that when I'm under Dread but I don't spend a lot of time in that area, but I guess Rhindas could, he's 26. I'm questing in the Lone-lands right now for Mr Brown Wizard. I gotta group for the next one because he wants me to kill those Wights that are pretty much necromancers and have tons of friends.
Though it shouldn't be hard to find people to do it.

Spent a lot of time playing the past few days... Had to adjust my graphics again, some areas make me lag very, very badly. Horse rides seem to lag no matter what I do... My new account (that's not trial) and Elf Champion, Kelayiel. Pretty scenery... Obligatory dramatic shot Who's yer daddy? Obviously, I'm adopted! Alt, Elf Hunter Yvariell
