What program do you mean ? I can not find this program on the game list ?

ok sould not be that hard to find the url for a beta program. 

http://piratechronicles.f2pmmo.com/ < ---- here

Downloading  a full mmog program say 10 gigabytes for a install file  vs 1 or 2 dvd-rom discs yes that has started to change.  I would like the program in a dvd iso file so i could burn my own install dvds or the full install file or even both.  A server farm usage  or peer to peer downloading  software costs less than the box and booklets right  ?

Can the eu client be used in the US ? And if so what is the server name and port so i can edit the server file ?

Or is that not a good idea ? 

Here is the Announcement.

Closed beta 4 will start on October 25 2009.  This will be the stress testing phase.  That means seeing how many can fit on a server before it crashes.  Come help crash i mean test the server heeh

This is their first test and they fail.  Many other programs do not make you use java and activex to sign up.   Get a better website maker this is not good coding and very ant-user get a clue :-(

Stop drinking the java/flash/activex dope.  If this is how you allow your team to code web page not so sure i even want to allow your program code on my computer.

Says the member who has no av heeh. I used gimp to make that simple icon file.

This program has hardcore PvP.  But some of the players are given the task of protecting the other players.

There is not a mmorpg prgram.  I used this program back when it was in beta and past the beta  Yes this program cost money it is not free if you want to do much of anything. Think of it as a online theme park or even a 3-d facebook program.  If you want a program to play in this works ok too.  Most of the users were  nice and much fun was had but i got bored.  I moved on to other programs.

Only a few objects sell well.  To get  to the point were you can get them to sell on your own will take more time then you say you have.  My view the economy is the weak link  in the program.  And was made that way on purpose. You can with real money buy the buffing objects.  Most of the other objects in the shop are time savers like xp pots, mounts at lvl 1.  So in short play rom have fun but trying to level  with selling  with not be much fun.

I think the closed beta testers back in 2004 failed on one part of fom.  It took 1 real time week to get paid for missons.  Know what that sounds like ? yes a job and i pay for fun not a second job heeh And yes that was fixed in open beta back in 2005.

Face of mankind did go gold/ retail  but than got closed down. The most recent data it was reopened reworked Dec. 2008  It is in the closed beta phase July 2009 Yes it is a bit confusing someone needs to clear out all the stuff before dec 2008 off the listing here on mmorg. The most recent data is at the face od mankind fourms.

If you are running any type of windows software the following tools are made by MS to  keep eye on the os.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx Process Monitor even better than the default task manager.

And finaly the whole package

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062.aspx many of those tools are useful.

And this only works in XP but still helpful for tweaking XP

I did give EU a try and i found it to be  very boring and annoying.  If you like hunting i guess it would be fun.  The boring part a massive world that at first you only can run around it and not have much to do.  Than the annoying parts for me.  First the guys makes werid random sounds i can not mute.  when it says you start as a newbie you show up with only the cloths on your back and not much else.  And yes you can use real money so what ? They take themself too real it is annoying.  A power tripping rich persons program no poor ppl allowed sould be their motto.

I looked up the video card and it might not work so good.  But i could be wrong maybe in lower settings rom will still run ok. press ctrl x in the rom program in check ping and framerate. At the patcher screen there is a button that says settings turn them to the far left for the lower settings.

In runes of magic at   the start box goto settings turn them way down press apply.  And from what you say yes the hardware sounds like it is part of the lag not the network.  Even i get a bit of network lag in town on the NA server not much but a little bit.
