One positive was the grpahics were better than i initially expected:



Although the starting area isn't particularly impressive.

Yes looked quite nice and ran _really_ smooth on my pc (which sports an HD 5770@1920x1080).
Not too impressed with faces of NPCs tho, looked a bit bland or just plain outdated.

I just made one of those tiger people, awesome.

BMP screenshots ftw!

New Beta session this weekend, and many new invites going out, including 500k through Curse

Didnt think i'd get another invite after ignoring the way-too-superlong survey last beta.

Played some more this weekend, games still quite buggy but i did manage to level a bit higher.

I don't thnik my opinion's chnaged to much, it bascially is just Skyrim, which means the questing is very good, the landscapes/buildings look very nice, but the animations/combat's a bit clunky.

I didn't get to the point at which you can do the 100vs100 pvp, but all the stuff i heard about it is that its actually very good. Apart from that though there's apprently no other "end game".

The mmo aspect is still also pretty hidden, i mean by default chat is hidden and other playes don't have names above their heads so it can feel like you're playing a single player game at times.

Probably worth checking out if it ever goes free to play but considering the current model is £30+ to buy the game + a monthly sub i'll be giving the launch a miss.
