Yes, it requires an account activation key, which should be printed on the instruction manual, or somewhere inside the package (and must not have been used already).

You can unequip your relics (and not lose them) by re-forging every 10th level (there are tick boxes for refunding lp and unslotting relics). At levels 10, 30, 50 one of the item's existing legacies are randomly given i higher quality (unless they all are at the highest quality, in which a new one will be acquired), and at levels 20 and 40 a new legacy will be revealed (a max of 8 legacies are possible) when you reforge. The legendary weapons from the volume 2 book 1 quests are capped at lvl 30 (and they have to be equipped for them to gain ixp (item experience points), all other legendary items don't need to be equipped to gain it), not all legendary items are. The highest level any legendary item can obtain is level 50.

Just thought I should dispel a few misconceptions in the article.

I can't say I'm impressed. Especially the first pic (which I guess is a Champion dual wielding a sword and axe).  A glowing purple ball on the top of each blade? And the others seem to have a glow in the middle.

I'd rather see the whole thing glow, if they must, not just one bit of it.

The "glow in the middle"  isn't the weapon glowing, it's the effect from the skill being used, has nothing to do with the weapon.

The dwarf's hammer had a red glow at the head of the hammer. And the captain's lance has a blue glow around the whole weapon.

I'm glad it was canned, Halo was nothing but unreal tournament reskinned and given a different story. Hello Kitty Online would be a better game than that.

Personally, i think they are trying to destroy humanity, 2 scum of the earth vainly preserving their dna in space....

I seriously think that all this is just a marketing ploy to get more players and viewers. Well you won't get me!!!

 WoW is not ranked number one for two reasons:

[*]MMORPG.com is full of angry, disgruntled players who tend to either be elitist/snobby or bitter, and vote against the status quo at every possible opportunity in an attempt to tear down success
The people who are enjoying WoW are either playing the game and not wasting time here slamming it, or are the casual type who do not lurk on MMORPG websites and post their opinions

If you polled every single MMORPG player, otherwise known as taking a census, and asked them what the best MMORPG is, WoW would win. The problem is the sample voting here is not representative of the MMORPG community as a whole. This is a niche community and WoW is not a niche game - it is actually a successful one.
Anyway, always take reviews, opinions, and rankings here with a grain of salt. They mean almost nothing at all.
By the way, I do not currently play WoW but if I were to vote, I would say right now it is the best MMORPG on the market. It is stable, it is full of content, it caters to casual and hardcore players, it has PvE and PvP, and it is polished to a diamond-like brilliance.
But it will still be bashed as the devil of MMORPGs, despite somehow managing to be the most successful MMORPG of all time. Go figure.

Completely wrong. They want to know why WoW isnt ranked #1 here. Its verry easy to figure out. It has nothing to do with being an eliteist, snobby or anything else. People here are dying for something new.  Most here are MMO vets who have played the classics and want something similar. They are also tired of seeing games come out that arent trying to improve on the industry but are just trying to copy WoW's sucess and they blame WoW for it.....and rightfully so.
Just because people here dont follow the masses like sheep doesnt make them snobby, disgruntled or eliteists. It makes them there own person. Sorry you cant handle that.

WRONG! no one from Blizzard is putting a gun on ANY of these companies heads and saying "DO IT MORE LIKE WOW!". Face it, the reason why the games YOU want to succeed aren't succeeding is, because they don't have the cojones to try something different and follow their own vision. They're sheep, they're followers, that's why they're not putting out the games you want to play with the game mechanics you want to play.

It's more like the publishers see wow's subscription numbers, and see all those pretty dollar signs. So they force the developers that they are paying, to make the game more like wow so they can make that kind of money. If Eve Online had that kind of subscriber base, and made that kind of money, instead of  wow, then every publisher would make the game more like Eve. Developers usually don't get the chance to make the game they want to make. He who controls the check book controls the world.

Michael Moorcock, the great author (creator of Elric of Melniboné, and many other fantastic characters), invented the term Multiverse back in the 60s and has been using it extensively in virtually all his books since. I wonder why these guys fail to mention that at least.

I would assume it is because they made the engine for the firefly mmorpg initially. And in firefly they call the universe, the multiverse(whether or not joss whedon pulled it from moorcock is unbeknownst to me.).

It's not malware. It's a hacking prevention application just like GameGuard. The reason certain mouse buttons and your g15 keys don't work is most likely because they are run by a software program. Xtrap sees these, and prevents them from being able to access the game executable to prevent macros and hacks from working in the game.

In order to get them to work, you'd probrably need to contact the company that made Xtrap and get them to add support for the software that you are running for those components.

Personally, i want rohan.

Slide, I think the point that air was trolling to make was that all of these features have been found in MMOs that long predate EVE.

You claiming that EarthRise is borrowing things from EVE puts you right in the same camp as people who claim that WAR is borrowing from WoW.

QFT. The only thing on the list that I can say with 90% confidence, that earthrise has borrowed from eve is offline skilling (which is retarded btw, game breaker for me personally, even if i have the chance to get in at the beginning, making me more powerful than someone who starts late and can't catch up).

Astounded? no.

Laughing? yes.

If you really want an answer, it'd be much better to post this on

http://forums.auran.com/fury/forum/

If it's you taking a crack at fury/trolling...forget i said anything.

Yeah, Perfect world is probrably the closest f2p to your requirements you'll find. I personally say it's probrably the best f2p out there right now.

nvm

 All in all over the course of a week I repeated the quest around 10 times total.  I repeated it before contacting customer service, then +Irnold+ (a CSR) had me repeat it multiple times as well.  Geneva (GM) moved me from the n00b instance (your own instance) to the regular n00b area where there were 3 gates surrounding me, which I couldn't get through any of them.

 

I remember being put into a seemingly gated off area after leaving the elf intro instance. There was a way out, i don't remember how(i haven't been there in a looong time). It sounds like the gm put you where you were supposed to go after finishing the intro instance.

p.s. i'm not ripping on you, i'm not trying to say your lying or anything of the sort. Just what it seems like to me from what you've said so far. It's easy to become disoriented and overlook things when you start a new game, even for genre vets.

In issue 177(january 2008) of game informer, they reviewed fury, and gave it terrible scores, and said guildwars was better, lol. And that the network performance is weak, and "even the smallest amounts of latency can change the outcome of a match". Honestly, i don't think they played the game for more than 20 minutes. The reviewer had also said "it's just a mess, and it doesn't get any better as you become familiar with the game", which is just retarded.

Here's a link to the review:

www.gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/EB3257CC-5624-4EC6-B61D-44BBFD67A8DA.htm

I personally think it's complete bs aside from the ui isn't very good(and that the reviewers are furries).

Firefoot (USA) has plenty of ppl of all levels. No matter where i go, i always run into someone i haven't met before. It doesn't feel dead to me at all. If i do a who search, yes, it usually comes up pretty empty, but that's due to most of the population are anonymous.

Whether in different countries or different stages of life, males are undoubtedly drawn to gameplay. men can step into development and create games for new generations, but diversity is essential as well.

look I can write too.  I truely fail to get why a girl gamer is any different than male(except the the few that want to be applauded for it, they likely make life harder for the rest).

I think the problem is that most of these feminist women want to be treated special. They don't want true equality. I don't care whether your a chick or a dude, if your a cool person, and we play well together, i'll continue to play with you, but you won't get any special treatment from me if your a girl. I don't ooo and aww when i find out that the person that's playing that female avatar is actually a female avatar. I've played plenty of games with females in my 10 years of mmo gaming. I've actually had someone get pissed off at me because i wasn't giving items away to a female avatar for free.

 

In summation, you want true equality? Then accept to be treated just as men do.

 

I think they DO want true equality in the way that they wont be benefitted or not benefitted for being a woman...I do however think they would like to be talked to a little different.... I mean talking about how hot your girlfriend isnt interesting for many females. And despite people calling "mate/m8 and dude etc" gender neutral it does ring a little masculine..and not all women like that ;)

I sit through listening to women talk about things that i'm not interested about, and many men aren't interested in, but i don't go on a crusade trying to make them stop. I can easily ignore it, or if they are talking directly to me, i tell them just like i would tell a guy who's talking to me about something i really don't care for. Which is "I don't much care" or "I don't really want to talk about this" and leave it at that.

only wing elf's get to fly from lvl 1, human and beasts get to fly at lvl 30. but beasts do get to transform into animals, which i believe does give a ground speed boost.

It definitely is a good game though. The only problems for me is that i have to translate english to english cause of the localization is pretty bad, and that they allow kanji characters for names and  chat (which means a) i have no idea what's being said, and b) can't put those people on friends/ignore list (unless i make a copy of the name and use the windows character map to cross compare and find the ascii numbers of the symbols)
