I never really understood this need for "community" in MMOs.  Isn't it really about the group of people you directly play with? (guild,squad,clan)  As in life, like minded people will group together.

 

The "community" is what is a new player will have first contact with.  Say a new player jumps into a game, knowing no one else, none of his/her other gaming friends are playing this game, and everyone in said already established game community treats this new player like crap.  If people are complete jerks to this new player, he/she probably will not stay in the game long, which in turn hurts the game.  On the contrary if people are helpful, friendly and at least act like they want this new player to continue playing this game, the chances are, as long as the game fun, they will stick around.  That's at least how I look at it.

 

A lot of my "online" friends are still stuck in the other games, so often times I am trying games out completely on my own.  If the community seems like a bunch of asshats, I usually don't stick around long.  Yes you are correct, it is more about the direct people you play with (clan, guild, corp, alliance, etc).  But if your first contact with a game is dealing with awful people, why even bother looking for like-minded people.

I do see your point regarding community, but I've made some of the longest lasting friendships in what many would consider the "worst community" type games.  UO pre-tram, Shadowbane...

There are plenty of helpful people, prepubescent jerk offs, randoms, "old schools" , "new schools",  in ER

While the game has some major  issues,  the "community" isnt one of them.

Good review in my ears, but for the rest of the response, ill start today and i don't listen to mass of negative ppl here.

I get my own opinion of the games i play, i can even put a paper over the chat to ignore all until they fix it.

 

The game looks like Beta of Project Entropia but without RCE, can't wait, i really hope they

do same mining structure as in old PE. That would be stunning.

This is a recent thread made by the guy who posted this Preview. You might wanna look into it before buying.

The thing where he wrote AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA is hysterical rofl.

 

As I have said, the pvp psychopaths take over this type of game with no penalty for pk's. Now were going to get an avalanch of DF types, not to say everyone who plays DF is like that, but alot are.

There is a penalty for PK'ing. The criminal system. If you continuously PK someone you become overt to everyone on the server, you become a criminal and can be killed freely by other players without any repercussions, potentially losing all your loot/insurance. Granted it need's tweaking to last longer and decay slower but its better than 'nothing' as you claim.

Thx for the link but i got it and logging in tonight.

I think and what i can find out about the game is that release is to early but anyway.

i played AO at release it was way to early and same with  AoC etc etc. the bugs and

If i look back and think about it, i quited to ealy because of ALL negative posts/chat etc.

I Will get a paper to cover the chat window in this game and get my own opinion about the game

and the progress.

I have been playing lots of MMo's over the years in early Alphas, and that is an exerience in it self.

 Hey as long as you know full well what you are getting into, it's all fine. Hope you have an enjoyable experience... or alternatively i hope you have the patience to go through with it this time.

It's funny, prior to it's release, I was fairly active amongst these forums expressing my opinions on the developers, state of the game and Masthead in general. I was branded a "troll" for claiming the game wasn't ready for release, my opinion wasn't valid simply due to the fact I wasn't a huge fan of what Masthead had produced. I spent a vast fraction of my spare time testing their game well before the majority of you even knew closed-beta was in progress, largely due to the fact I wanted it to succeed - it was different afterall.

It's highly amusing to see a majority of the 'fan bois' that were here, defending the game, blasting the critics and the naysayers, have now drastically changed their opinion and can't talk enough shit about the game if they tried.

Anyway, i love it so far,

Fist day

• many bugs that i can live with and still play
• world is stunning IMO!!!
• Server lag is less than start what i have heard ingame but i don't know if they still run debugger on the server/client ?
• FPS lag is more hard to tell, have beween 15 - 60 fps jumping up and down with same camera angle.

Thanks folks. I appreciate the remarks, good or bad. Oh and my grammar is not that bad.. jeez, besides thats why i have an editor.
