I bought the DVD, its got tons of funny extras.

As i said it could be a hacked client or they are using alot of the textures and resource from WoW.

 

But it is definatley suspicious.

 

My Reasons are.

From a couple of images it seems Textures are taken from World of Warcraft including Ground/Grass textures.

For a Free MMORPG, the engine seems to be constructed rather well compared from what i normally see on a Free MMORPG.

The Text in one of the videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1aA1QGmEhU) When he goes into a new location, is the Exact same Font, Size and Color of whats in World of Warcraft, its also displayed the same.

The User interface in this video is slightly modified to a different version i saw in another video, which Both are almost exact as what is in WoW - Its easy to Mod User interfaces, as Wow had many customisations.

The Mini Map and Interface bars(That comes up when you use a spell, the cast time) Is Exatly the same as world of Warcraft.

Another little thing is the Loot animation where its glowing lights streaming up from the corpse, is Exact.

Other Little parts seem to have similarities, like the floating Islands, they look pretty simlar (Apart from the buildings on them) to what appeared in a Patch last year for World of Warcraft.

Theres acouple of other things, like above, but so many little ones theres not much point in mentioning as its just little parts.

One part that stands out for me is the Panda Character and the Tiger Character, The Panda more than anything, anyone who plays World of Warcraft will know what i mean when i say Panda. Basically for ages there's been references to Pandas in world of Warcraft, you can have a baby pet panda, and in the origonal model database there is *Speculation* but a Model for a Panda Character, wether or not it made it into the game or not is beyond me as ive not played in about a year now.

 

Coming to think of it after writing that out....

There is a Program that you can get that lets you see any model thats in the world of warcraft game, all you need is the game itself. You use the external program you can put armour onto Characters, customize them, weapons, and also run animations, even at any speed. Also the Game is pretty loose as far as MMO's go, because ever since its been out there have been hacked servers for Wow, so its easy to manipulate the whole game.

Im not saying this game is a complete WoW rippoff, but theres definatley a Homage to Wow in this Game.

 

Even the websites look the same...well sorta :P

Maybe not then

Theres alot of portals on the map that go off into nowhere. Some obviously lead into outpost but others you can't tell. I'm guessing toughs ones go into one of the 18 dungeons they've been talking about. Which is cool, haven't done a dungeon run in while. :P

And do you recon you could map out your upcoming route using this map...nah its could  fork out like in nightfall and its too big you don't know where you might come out (dungeon wise).

Whats the tallest then, a male ele?

Any DX10 game will do. Theres only three I can think of that are. Crysis, Age of Conan and Spore.

No wonder I can't find the site, as you said the games canceled. Your post wasn't there when I hit reply.

For a moment there I thought this Africa game was the same Africa game coming out on the PS3. Turns out the PS3 one is spelled

Afrika not Africa.

Well any ways I can't find the web site so I can't really say much about the game. As far as the trailer goes, not bad graphics.

LOL! I knew it all along, why do you think they've got so many subscribers. :P

Does anyone have any news on whether or not they are doing a collectors edition with this expansion pack. I know they're doing a regular, pre-order and platinum (where prophecies comes with) edition. I would imagine that they wasn't seen as its not a full game but only an expansion but thats not really a good enough reason. I could see them doing one and having a norn mini pet coming with, like Varesh and Kuunavang in the previous two.

Paste that if you would rather stream than download

The grinding is bad but the awesome combat system balances it out. In my opinion it has one of the best "grinding experiences" plus it gets alot easier and funner after lvl 50.

You don't map your progress by level, you map it by what you've accomplished. Thats one of the reasons that makes Guild Wars different to other games. Having said that makes the levels in this game seem pointless. I think they're there to show that you've finished training, sort of like ranks. So saying that you've hit 20 means you've finished training/come out of the noob area. You've got much more to do before you can say you've hit end game / finished the primary bulk of the game.

I've Toriyama's work in the Dragon Quest games, and if this games anything like that it'll be awesome. I just know it will have a great story.

Is it possible for the developers to get rid of the auto attack. Why can't it be that the lead character clicks on a monster and the rest of the group follow. This auto attack thing has caused so many problems, one being afk levelers. Another is when your running along happily, then your group randomly runs of somewhere to kill something without your saying so, that gets really annoying.

So my two questions are :

Is it possible for the developers to get rid of the auto attack system? - Most likely no, since its already been designed.

What purpose does this system hold apart from making the gameplay easier inturn reducing the skill involved.

Yay, no more kiting.
