i agree to both replies

played swg and eq2 since beta     well i quitted swg quite a while ago

imo   the trial of teh isle   http://www.trialoftheisle.com/en/

reflects the gameplay of eq2 pretty good   

if u r not sure  just give it a try

no you dont

register a forum account

and download the game

use forum account as login data

but trust me ITS A WASTE OF TIME !!!!!!!!

well regarding the community  i cant agree

i had a female alt  and got harassed nonstop

besides that its a fun game imo  but thats reason enough for me not to play it

again sad news

i have been playing ryzom in beta and just won the 1 month free (cough) here on mmorpg

i also tried the new Ring feature   and its an awesome idea  if i wasnt busy with building gameworlds for living   i would definately have liked creating some nice areas with this tool.

nevertheless   i always disliked  the look of the pc models

but well we will see what happens    sounds like they have some kind of backup plan

gonna try if my account works

thats really sad news

i followed the progress of this game since a very early stage - i even got into beta - unfortunately i had bad timing  and the beta was over exactly that day i wanted to play it for the first time

also it was kinda hard to get info what this game was about

besides that the graphics are definately a matter of taste

if there had been some kind of trial i had tried it and who knows  maybe i would have liked it

but yah its sad to see the hard work of some ppl go down like this

all the best to you guys

Thank you for that feedback max. As for the grass movement etc, all variables can be tweaked to greater or lesser extent. I believe we decided to just boost most effects in this one to give you an overall feel of what the engine is capable of. In our next one it will be a bit more "mainstream" and give you a more realistic standpoint to base things off of. One thing that is important that we need to get across in our next video is that everything in Kaos is rampant with energy and life. From vegetation to the little insect crawling at your feet.

one thing is for sure

that you keep contact to the community here is absolutely great

one of the most important things for mmorpgs is the community  but i assume u know that

"mainstream"  bad word    :P    u see what happened with soe games  being transformed to mainstream

well maybe its the wrong place here    and i m sure you have a great team    but if needed i offer any help    for example with ideas for the video

6 years of online gaming (yah im a nerd) and being a comercial artist and all that stuff might deliver an independent view

just a suggestion

first of all

i think its really great that you guys from SRI post in here. im developing maps  (as a hobby)  myself , so i feel how important it is to get direct feedback. i wont criticize much cause its mostly a matter of taste and its tough to judge a whole game from a tech demo.

i really like what i see. not the usual "unreal" stuff , which is nice  but u get fed up with it.

for my taste its a touch too colorful       besides that im wondering how resource consuming your engine is. what you show is a pretty small area   so all the grass movement doesnt matter that much.

id suggest bit less grass movement and some tree movement instead.

btw  nice usage of emitters    adds alot of atmosphere.

i ll definately keep an eye on Kaos War

keep on the nice work

lol

well yah no big loss

they should get a new pr manager
