Screenshots definitely have been looking better in the last few weeks... Is this thing really going to launch on the 13th anyone know? I like the concept of being able to change your profession/skills basically anytime you feel like it.. Should cut down on the # of people making more characters. |

Soooo..... What's the purpose of pvp in Irth? Is there one? Do we develop a character and then go running around killing each other for no reason? Is there control of resources or territories at stake? One last question... Why do developers even bother making new games if they don't offer anything new beyond what was made 4-5 years ago? |

I have read it and read it again, but there seems to be something "between the lines" that she would prefer saying. But as a writer she is doing her utmost at being objective. |

Yeah, after reading her review, I get a sense that she was trying very hard to be diplomatic. "Tweak" in this context seems to be a euphemism for "needs a lot of fixing". |

The Graphic card issue is a really bad one. Any Nvidia 4200, 5200, 5500, 5600 and 6200 have serious issues with this game. Showing FPS of 10 and lower in the most cases! I'm not sure about the Ati 9200, 9250, 9500, 9550 and 9600. Quite funny that the old Ti4600 have much less troubles than the newer FX 5600 card! Play My magic Tales |

This is not a beta. If this is a beta, give up on this game. It's a good effort, but it's so far behind that I'm far from impressed and I believe any experienced player who tries it will agree. |

FX cards basically are Nvidias worst product line since the MX series. FX cards are so noisy its not even funny and the Ti4xxx series line beats them all any day in all but dx9 rendering (what Ti4xxx cards doesnt have) |

May be technically your claims are true, but what if the series of graphics card companies you listed as "these are able to run Irth Online" would fail to run Irth, then you would call them as "worst products"? I know my card gets old, but I shouldn't get such an dreadful FPS in the game, there're other issues than blaming the video cards, literally. I know I'm able to run all the games around with a tolarable FPS, I'm pretty sure ... |

The preview is a good read - and the comments in the forums are partly very positive. Only thing is I seem to be excluded from the fun. The graphics are unbearable >> might be my graphic card Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4200 64 MB (?) and I felt very lonely on the server (pegasus).

Laura was very generous in her review. I received an email for the free Irth beta, downloaded the game, played it one evening and deleted it the next. Bottom line is the game is simply to buggy to play right now and the dev team made a mistake by sending it to open beta at this point. Given the state the game is in right now they would have been better served by staying in closed beta with friendly testers who have high tolorance for major game-play and performance bugs. BM |

Nice informative article. With a mid Sept release date proposed I was tempted to try this beta as a trial. Your review has made it clear IRTH is truely still in beta. Thanks, R

Be honest guys.. release that ? I tried play the beta.. I did force myself to pass the 90's style graphic somewhere before Baldur"s time. The game has nothing, it is buggy, it is empty.. it is horrible.. it is unfriendly.. I would say if it was released at the time of DAOC went out and compete against it.. yes .. keep it beta a bit, fix the bugs.. then polish (don't talk about polish when there is nothing).. why do they give a NDA... they have nothing new.. they do that just because they hope to attract poor chap by surprise.. God guys how can you decently say this is a good game with potential??? you must be running that game on a IBM 8080. ??? jaheira... player of Wow and .. open to all.. |
. Also the support is great (got a decent reply from helpdesk within 2 hours) and the community I met in the forums is quite cool.
