But then I did a little research and from what I can see they took plotlines from "The Searchers" and "Unforgiven" but then threw in some aliens.

So now that books, comic books, and other movies are overdone and video game movies tend to suck, hollywood is resorting to using bord games as their muses but then someone pointed out that "Clue" already had a movie based on it so this bordgame movie phenomena isn't tha new either.

Yeah i mean next movie we are gona see is like a group of 6000 monkeys taking over a technological civilization of 3 billion people. Oh...wait....

Would like a key please.

To be honest i have gotten a Vanguard feel from this game including the original hype i just hope it doesnt turn out the same way in the end tired of game hate or crappy games just want a good mmo like the old days that made you feel like you were in a niche and not all this casual gamer wow bs.

actually interested in this more than TERA and SWTOR

I agree with OP it does not feel like im part of a world anymore

eh... that's what i get for going to work today.. no key   -_-

you spelled knight wrong

Do you have any experience making a game, let along a 3d game? If so, you've got a first step, but only a first step. Do you understand to make a decent game that can compete with commercial games you've got to be on the leading edge with regards to graphics at the start? Do you understand how to do distributed programming? After all game servers are clusters of computers networked by some networking medium. Do you know the details of databases (where all the in game items come from) ? Do you know how to synchronize the actions of X number of players doing X number of things all within each other so that player X sees what playing Y does around the same time as Z, B A? Do you know how to construct meshes and construct texture maps?  Do you know what a cube map is? Environment mapping? Shadow mapping? Bump mapping is (and how  it is done)? Do you know some NPR techniques? Do you know how to construct shaders? Do you know socket programming? Do you know how to construct and debug multi-threaded programs? The list goes on for what you need to know for a decent MMO. Note that I did not mention game mechanics or story requirements.

The game launched in 2004. Why is it just now being made available on the MAC?

What kind of answer is that? Error made by MMORPG maybe?

No offense meant to the MMORPG.com staff ( who do a great job, btw), but crafting in WAR requires a guide about as much as folding socks does.

 

haha same thing i was thinking

I really have been considering resubbing for this game too i enjoyed the trail island and it feels like the only well developed Mmorpg left thats not 8 years old despite its flaws at release. It seems like it has a strong community of old mmorpg fans that are trying to relive the glory days before the plague  (WoW). Not saying i didnt have fun for a year with the game but it seems like any game that started development after wow has miserably failed trying to be an action fps with swords -.-.

Im a little tired of people using the fact that since the game is based on war it shouldnt have a good economy/ crafting system or any significant amount of emotes its not like these guys sat in a room and decided "hey to make the game more like war lets make a shitty economy where a money inst worth a damn to anyone."

The developers didn't give more time into making a good crafting economy because they didn't want to. Not saying laziness but it doesn't feel like they gave any effort into it at all. So in defense they claimed that they wanted to focus on making an amazing combat experience.

That would be awesome if the combat was balanced and interesting ( maybe i'm just coming from my Chosen but i am not that impressed with the combat system).

Back to my original point war is not a valid excuse to get rid of a stable economy in the game. One of the main reasons people go to war is for economic reasons its not like as soon as *enter country name* goes to war they become a bunch of mindless killing zombies who show no tradeskills(crafting) emotion(emotes) or start using there money as ammunition for the battle(economy).

It seems like there is no Rpg left in the mmoRpg's anymore i feel more accomplished getting rupees in Zelda then getting gold in this game.

idk so many let downs...

Warhammer crafting lolol
no but ill have to agree on Vg crafting

After the first guy saw his friend get owned i cant believe he ran behind the horse to test his luck too.

hahahaha i lawled

One of the buildings i was able to jump into. Once i was inside it acted just like i had walked through the front door and i could talk to the man. But when i left the house  it took me straight to tortage city.

Well i was doing some exploring today and found my way out of the island. Tried to leave the island but i hit an invisible wall.

Only thing you can do is consider getting/building a PC for gaming. Laptops rock for thier portability, but suck because games out pace tech faster than anything.

Yeah your kinda fucked 8400 are deff not future proof not even for time they were made at.
