I didn't vote because I've been playing since block A, but I can tell you its been horrible. The lag has been too severe for me to do much of anything, I still can't manage to bank half my inventory. I can't imagine that anyone who's tried it has managed to explore any of the content with this lag. Still, since the servers are still packed solid, I have to assume people still want to try it. That must mean they're at least a little interested in what it has to offer. |

6/10 gameplay is good fun and the world is amazing. The lag issues almost make it unplayable and it is frustrating to see issues in the OB that should really have been sorted in the CB (i understand that they are a small team though so i will give them some slack). The Patching issues took the score down a notch or two as they really should have been handled better than they where.
here is hoping it all becomes stable soon or at least by the launch so we can enjoy the fun elements of the game. MMO wish list: -Changeable worlds |

Someone honestly voted a 10/10? ROFL.... I give it 2/10 and here is why.. the gave is not complete.. not even close. Skill books introduced are totally borked.. I cant see the books I need to buy for harvesting... just blank spaces on vendors. If there were no issues getting into the game the best it could get would be a 6/10 or MAYBE a 7/10 if it was perfect (which is itsn't even close). With the patcher issues, the nowgame.exe errors.. and the lag... how could it be higher than a 2? 1/2 the people can't get in.. and the ones that get it working have 10 second lag.... they struggle to overcome it to find invisible walls, placeholder skills and guards... etc...

I voted 4. I've never been in a buggier beta, but I've seen crappier games. Most people are just miffed for some selfish reason or another, this game ain't breaking my heart like some of you. Writer / Musician / Game Designer Now Playing: Skyrim, Wurm Online, Tropico 4 |

This is an alpha, and I give it a score of 3 even as such... |

Correct, this game is in alpha state at best.

I voted a 7/10. This may seem a little high to some people, but my standards are significantly lower since I did the Vanguard beta. At least when I get into this game I can manage to play with out CTD every 10 mins, and CPU shutdown every hour due to massive memory leaks (that were still present launch day for VG BTW) Yeah its rough, and there are still patcher issues that can make it take litteraly days to get into the game. But on the other side of that, this dev team is the best I have ever seen for keeping the community informed of the status of the game, and they have been very straight forward with what they expect the game to be like at release. Still missing a few of the promised things, but hey, it is still beta after all. *raises flame shield* |

I honestly think they have the worst communication of any recent beta or released game I have been a part of. Where are the big update posts? We are entering the second week of Open Beta and they haven't even given an estimate of it's length. We don't know if they are looking at another week.. month.... no idea... They may be talkative on IRC... but that's really no substitute for regularly posting in the Announcement section on their Forums or updating their News section on the webpage. When they do post (in my experience) it is usually either a response buried on page 12 of a thread or a ninja edit of a post. They need to simply post an UPDATE every few days. Perferable a new thread in the announcements section.. or a thread that is LOCKED so they can add posts to it and not be buried under 1000 responses. That's what a Community Manager (which they have) should be doing.

They should limit access to open beta until lag issues are resolved. There was constant bitching about Darkfall and Aion how they limit access to buying accounts / logging in - but it was the thing that Aventurine and NCSoft had to do to avoid lag making game unplayable for 95% of those who logged in. Yes, it's beta. But it doesn't mean that those potential customers who showed interest in MO should be treated like that. Implementing limited access to the server would take max 2 days for average programmer - and it would improve testing process and game experience 100x times. |

Beta hehe-sounds like moving from pre-alpha to alpha. |

2/10 is my vote.
I understand it's a small team with limited resources, however 3 days to dl is pathetic, then it finally finishes and I have to try to log in a minimum of 10 times before it stops telling me it can't connect to the remote server. THEN I get in game and can barely do anything because of the lag. The graphics are nice which is why it got a 2 as opposed to a 1. |

Yeah the lag and bugs should be fixed and I hope more content will be added at launch but otherwise it's great game.And it took 3 hours from me to patch and download the game though I used torrent files not that ****ing launcher. And btw this game is in real beta not like LOTROs beta which wasn't real beta. Voted 7/10 |

Ill give it a 4/10.
2 points for concept of the game. I like the ideas. 2 points for scenary etc. I am well dissapointed with this game tbh. Ill probably check back in 6 months but for me now ive gone onto FE for the time being. The lag is absolutely ridiculous...actually fix that for me and your going in the right direction. |

3 / 10. Needs a solid 6 months more work before maybe launching. As I posted on a different forum, they've made a very nice big wooden frame but they couldn't afford to get the sand delivered, so they are asking you sit inside the empty box and play with the dirt instead. |
