This game makes Lineage 2 look good... does that tell you anything?

We're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I.

How is the game as far as T&A? Anymore the only thing distinguishing MMORPGrinds is the level of distraction offered by checking out my female avatar jiggle in inappropriately unprotective outfits. Lineage 2 might not have been good at being a game, but so far it's the acme of distracting T&A.
Anything less than the copious panty flashes and the jiggling run animations of L2 is the genre marching backwards.

Well, this is the only screen shot I was able to find of anything remotely resembling female. No jiggle there. Maybe it's just that Bruce linked to the corporate site, but any game that puts corporate investment and careers on the page, and has a game site with less information on it than MUDs I've played just tells me to stay away. |

Another danger signal: the game is available on download.com.

Another danger signal: the game is available on download.com. That doesn't mean much. I remember a time when I'd go to download.com to find everything. I think it's just the fact that it's the product of another asian 'me too' company who wants to cash in on their inability to not play an MMOG. It's a crappy game with a crappier title. That's all that needs to be said. Though I would like to know why the hell Bruce even posted about it. |

Come on, Bruce. You have better taste than that. RYL is steaming pile of doo-doo.

Having looked at the screenshots, which BTW contain copious amounts of fiery death particle animations and not much else, I'm trying to figure out just what is supposed to separate this game from any other game. Since there isn't even a goddamn FAQ link (I've now found it on the message boards), could someone tell me why I should waste the time to download, install and play this?

I got a beta invite to Irth Online the other day. I have no memory of the game and can't remember signing up to test it... but I have a crappy memory, anyway, so I probably did. This is probably the bit from the website that caught my eye: Irth Online doesn’t limit players to choose a class: any race of character may learn any skill in the game, in any skill tree available. While some races will be significantly better at certain racially weighted skills than others and will have substantially better opportunities to learn racially weighted skills for their race and civilizations, players are not limited in their ability to learn and change their skillset.
Many forms of battle and fighting are offered our players: player vs. environment (fighting non-player characters, humanoid, monster and animal), player vs. player (players fighting each other), and civilization vs. civilization (large scale warfare and siege, both organized and unregimented.) Players may explore, travel or wage war on the ground, on the sea and in the air. Players may travel or combat on foot, on boat or by horseback – or by wings in the case of some non-human races. I have a soft spot for games that allow you to fight from a boat. Yar! Anyway, if there is any interest... http://www.betairth.com/ |

Maybe I was drunk! At least it's not as bad as waking up in a patch of poison ivy and seeing your knickers hanging off a tree branch 15 feet above you. Not that it's ever happened to me. Honest.
In ANY case... why didn't anyone warn me about Saga of Ryzom? Eh?
Oh right... everyone did. :(
I cancelled it today. It has the strangest bug I've ever encountered. It seems that when you train in n00bville, you may get stuck in that room. If you relog to resolve it, as suggested, you may end up in a totally different area of the game. The GMs (who are extremely responsive) can and will relocate you. Unfortunately, they say they are unable to return you to the n00bie area. The mainland is very, very difficult and most people don't even leave until they are level 30 or more. This, along with the lag, rubberbanding, Linksys incompatibilities, constant "please wait" messages, not being able to 'return to character selection'... I've given up. It is unplayable for me.
I will miss my pirate hat, however.

They fixed the rubberbanding with a patch yesterday and the Linksys problems were resolved quite a few months back in beta, at least for my Linksys router they were. It sucks to hear that you were still having problems with it. Ah well. Can I have your stuff? ;) |

I did check the game before I cancelled and I was still having rubberband problems. I'll check it out when it's baked a bit longer. Righ, even on his laptop, doesn't seem to have the amount of difficulity I have. As you said... oh well.
And yes, you can have my q20 sword and armour and my 167 dappers. I have a couple of low quality animal innards, too. :)
Unfortunately, the pirate hat seems to be stuck on my head.

I posted it because they email-spammed me so I thought I would spam everyone else.
Oh, and since WoW Beta got its own thread, I thought I might as well start a thread for RYL.
Also, some people enjoy trying out sucky stuff for free, even if it sucks.

Bruce By your logic above: st0ck profile Market undervalued Breaking News: UACP uAuthorize Corporation Announces Global VOIP Development- This will be hot issue Significant short term trading benefits in UACP are being expected. set to explode next Monday and Tuesday Watch out for it . Jump on board while this stock is below $1 10 days target price : $1.25 3 Months target price : $1.66 The company released Ground Breaking news about its VOIP division!! Although some would argue that VoIP is still maturing, corporate users are extremely interested in implementing the technology, creating exponential growth. Within the last four years, VoIP minutes increased from less than 0.5 to 2 percent of outbound international calls, according to research from TeleGeography. Additionally, predictions as to the size of the market itself vary, with Allied Business Intelligence projecting the VoIP market to grow from $3.7 billion in 2000 to $12.3 billion in 2006 and Synergy Research projecting the VoIP equipment market to grow to $13.3 billion by 2005. uAuthorize Corporation Don't be an idiot, Bruce. You knew no one would give a crap about RyL. |

Except my post was actually, you know, relevant to PC/Console Gaming & Hardware.
Serisouly, I know nothing about RYL. For all I know you guys would think it was totally kick ass; after all a bunch of you liked ShadowBane.
