the "game quickjump" doesn't work very well

you can scroll forward nicely but just one click back takes you right back to the top of the list - makes it very annoying as you glide past the game you were looking for and as you try to back up to it you have to start over

Finally

Should have ended after Mr Anderson decided to make just a casual appearance on the show

Has been mostly a dud since moving over to the Sci-Fi Channel anyway

Ryzom is really great for crafting

Looks like Vanguard is gonna be the spot for crafting in the near future

Of course there is always the possibility that they simply don’t want to run the risk of their player base finding out WoW isn’t the only MMO in existence.

That simple sentence is probably not only true but speaks volumes

i still have my fingers crossed but the videos that are released really are for purposes of advertising but they don't seem exactly top notch - and they really should be

it sounds - from the last part of the article - that the clueless are trying to get a clue on how to build an MMO

i doubt that there are intentions to improve Horizons however - but to build a new one (like everyone and their grandmother) without the bad associations that Horizons has

of course i am wearing my tinfoil hat as usual

Anything about a free trial?

As in stand-alone games where i don't buy unless i can download a demo i would like to see a trial before i commit that 50 bucks

REMEMBER DARK AND LIGHT - among others

maybe a month after release

will be reading forums here and there

too many times do games come out with less than half of their promise fulfilled

The game does not provide a good experience for a new player. With the latest advertising push I went ahead and downloaded the game to check it out. While there may be fun to be had later in the game, the newbie experience is unintuitive and more importantly - not fun. There are plenty of MMO's that are fun from the moment you step into the game. Ryzom is not one of them.

strange

i thought this game provided the best experience for new players compared to other MMOs I've tried

Played the endless free trial and was quite saddened when the newbie island quests had been completed

Would have continued to the mainland but at that time EVE was taking up all my free time but now that i'm no longer playing that...................  looking forward to collecting my win from MMORPG and getting back to it

OP, thanks for the review

the slight temptation i had for purchasing the game has vaporized

wish i had paid more attention to the forums for the last couple of games i did buy (none MMO)

or did i not find it

could only find fansites from there

prefer arrow keys really

left-handed mouse user

fortunately, there is usually that option

The most perfunctory of investigations would have revealed well before launch that DnL was a train wreck.  With the amount of information we have at our fingertips these days, one who feels duped or deceived by the makers of DnL only has oneself to blame.  There are plenty of expressions detailing the separation of stupid people from their money.  I'll leave you to choose one that suits your fancy.

 

thanks

you stated the problem perfectly

thanks

didn't actually read all the posts in the forums - just the actual heading in the forums for dev communication

good news anyway

Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of it - though it is a pretty busy time for them i'm sure

Last communication according to the forums was April

Just one thing among many that i use to judge whether a game is worth getting into - usually good communication from/with devs bodes well for the player where little or none does not (D&L)

devs that constantly screw with a good game in the name of balancing

usually it just becomes a nerf-fest cause it is easier to take something you already can do out of a game than to add something to it

prior to the drone nerf (was suppose to cure lag problems - didn't) this would have been a good choice

wouldn't bother now

missiles are still cool despite the nerf that hit them too

most of this - like all past interviews

pie in the sky
