Pretty sweet RPG so far, only a couple of hours in. Haven't quite seen why so many people have been fapping like porn monkeys over it yet but have been told by plenty you are no-where near scratching the surface of it yet (which I can believe by the sheer size of it so far).
Chose to be a Dwarf in the end, a Warrior Dwraf with possibly the ugliest face ever. Kicks ass in battle, spent ages at the opening of Dragonmaw fighting the wolves and troggs to level up a bit. One thing that is decent is that everyone who I have come across so far has been pretty helpful and not even slightly c*ck faced.
Interface is sweet, the layout was easy enough to get to grips with after the initial "this is just one area, wtf?!". The environments make Lisa Riley's mu*f saddle looking like a toddler's paddling pool.
Controls are easy, the magic areas aren't even slightly geeky from what I have come across so far, just drag it onto the bar and click it when you need it. Haven't really bought much yet but that too seems simple enough to use and from what I gather it nails other MMORPG's for its less geeky approach. For a first time MMORPG'er' I have founs it fack easy to get into and nothing like what I expected (only in a good way though).
Visually it is sweet, the soundtrack is awesome, the presentation is spot on etc etc *fap fap*
Wish I didn't have work tomorrow but life's a b*tch!
If you do ever meet someone called Troy, say "For Troy!" out loud to him. He'll understand.
(I have no idea who he is, but he's getting used to it quickly)
Me: I'm not hearing any sound fx, anyone else had similar problems?
Him: Turn your speakers on
Me: I can hear sound, just not sound fx
Him: Open dos prompt and type format c:
Me: Was that supposed to be funny?
Him: No, that's how you fix it
Me: I'm not an idiot
Him: Shutup
Me: Anyone with serious help please?
Him: SHUTUP
Me: Was I talking to you?
Him: Shutup n00b
It carried on for ages and everyone was calling him an idiot.
Anyway, turns out it was a bug with audigy 2. It's all fixed now.
But still, in most online games it's rare that you find a decent player :P
EDIT: And last night we had a geekish guild argument over the better browser.
Had my first experience of a Warcraft gimp the other day. I was sitting quietly on a boat when I get this:
Yuni: Nice equipment *not*. Noob.
[Admittedly I have a crap dagger because I can't find a better one, ditto for my boots, but the rest of my stuff is pretty damn good.]
Sunjata makes a rude gesture at Yuni.
Yuni: Sunjata #*@£ing noob equip!
Me: Get a life you frustrated little virgin.
Yuni: *&%$$ $£^£$% $%£$% n00b
Me: I bet you're the most popular kid in school
Yuni: I bet you suck your dad's &*^( after school
Yuni: You are 40 age &*^$
Me: Is english your 5th language?
Yuni: Does being abused rot your mind???!!
Me: I just reported you to a GM for abusive behaviour
Me: Are you dead yet?
*There is no such player online*
Ho hum, amazing that it took so long really, but it was admittedly quite fun.
