so, with all the giant bombheads that are going to this game, I was wondering what peoples opinions of the game are. for me so far I've discovered that you can indeed take off all your cloths and dance on things, so it is an MMO in the truest since of the word. however the dances seem to not be that good. also you can roll on the floor.

First Impressions on Runes of Magic
" Seems pretty fun,so far..really want to see GiantBombers everywhere though, seen 3 or 4 of us. "Yeah, I pretty much just saw you; I was Suffra. It will be better once we get a guild going though, the guild chat will keep us all connected
You know what we should do? We should send a chat message to everyone in the guild, to meet up in a crowded place in the game, remove our clothes, and DANCE! Imagine, 30-40 duders dancing naked in the marketplace! :)
I'm digging it. The UI is a little crazy, but I am getting used to it and having fun. I can't wait to roll with the GB masses!
I like that they let you learn the basic level of all the crafting type skills. it's great that I can get a feel for them before deciding on which to commit to. I also like how they have so far only given my char practical clothing to wear, not be given a leather bra and pantie set yet.
Yeah, I've had a load of fun so far. It's one of the only f2p mmo's I've ever played that seems... playable. ;D
I'm looking forward to getting the guild started. There are like... 40/50 people signed up and you need 100k to start one, so if everyone gets 2k/3k (some people have 20k+ already!) we can probably start the guild up this weekend. :)
You need 100k to start up? No, as far as I remember from the last time I'd played it, we had started the guild with about only 6 -10 members!
Maybe they changed it?
Shouldn't be a problem anyway, I already have about 10 and some people have around 25/30!
You need 100,000 gold to start a guild.
How much have you downloaded so far?
Then suddenly in my firefox some ISP message came which asked me to confirm my password and username. Along with that, my first file download went to 36% and then both files suddenly became html files called ppp_password of 2kbs and the download of those files got completed.
My download of the setup files disappeared, and now I HAVE TO START DOWNLOADING AGAIN!! :'(
I'll have to wait ANOTHER TWO DAYS! This is so unfair :(
But at least we're waiting until the weekend for the big meetup, so you won' t miss that :)
Maybe try doing the single download. It uses torrenting, so it might be quicker?
Also, since it's its own program, it can't crash.
But I can't resume if the connection somehow fails. With the download manager I can resume whenever I want, what happened today was a rare thing, only has happened once before (It HAD to happen today)
Also, with the download manager, I'm getting an average speed of 58 kbps with occasional spikes of 100-200kbps, compared to the usual speed of 21 kbps with torrents.
Usually, it would take me about 6 days to download a 6gb file, but this is going to get completed in about 35hrs.
So all I can do is wait :(
We'll be here when you finally get on though, we're still hanging out near the starting zone :D
The big meetup will be on a saturday or sunday? My download (or atleast updating) will not be completed by saturday.
Also, I might ask a friend of mine t download the 2nd part to help me out. :) (though he's probably gonna have an excuse to not do it :( )
@Demyx: okay cool, we can sort that out when we get to that level. we have quite a few players, so should be fine :)
Also, I just installed Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. Gonna play that until then :)
I have had it installed for a few days now but i probably won't be able to play until Friday or so.
Does anyone have any time and day that everyone could meet on?
It's okay, interface is a bit iffy but for something free to play on the side it ain't half bad!
Being a Britfag though I am experiencing some lag from time to time, I did say in party chat last night that I was lagging like a whore in church but it got filtered!
The game killed my funny.
" @Ygg: We discovered you can say "fucking", but not "fuck". The censorship in this game is baaad. Also, we Brit's ain't fags, 4channer :3 "Arse allowed but ass isn't too! I am proud that I've not been on 4chan in like a year, too bad that crap stays in your head though! D:
Either I'm not funny, or I'm way too funny for it.
Or were you on /y/? :D
(kidding, of course!)
There is some comedy gold to be found on there but after I inadvertently saw CP I decided to avoid it. ;-;" @Ygg: I don't get how people get addicted to /b/. Either I'm not funny, or I'm way too funny for it. Or were you on /y/? :D (kidding, of course!) "
and no I wasn't. :P
It's a terrible website. In some ways I'm thankful for it, because it keeps all the Internet douchebags occupied with their memes, spam, raids, and trolling. Sometimes their shit leaks through, but a good beating always does the trick :)
Also, the design is pretty crap. On faster boards like /a/ or /v/, threads run off the board and get deleted within about 40 minutes. This only encourages people to type out one liners because any decent discussion will be deleted if you don't reply in a half hour.
To bring the conversation back from the chan...
I got to level 10 today with my Priest. Wow is this game WoW! I've even fallen into my old habits of (a) never letting a gathering node go unharvested and (b) skipping the lore of the quests and just looking at how much I need to kill or collect. It's fun though and it scratches the WoW bug I had. After playing this I am certain I won't bother with Cataclysm when it drops this fall. It's interesting to see other characters and their wild mounts. I'm still figuring stuff out but coming along. I wish I had more bag space already, but I'm not spending real-world money on any part of this game. If I wanted to do that, I would go back and play WoW.
