The virus might have been from somewhere else, but I just started experiencing the issue today right after I installed the game- was playing TF2 with no issue last night.

Maybe it was just my bad luck, but when I ran AntiVir I swear it thought everything wa a Virus. I must have had it give me 20 false warnings in a month. It was worse than Avast. Your TF2 crashes were due to a bad update from Valve. They fixed it promptly and it's working again now.

Yeah, I have noticed that
Antivir has been giving out false reports, but I did have a couple of real trojans and my icons were going screwy too, so I guess I had a little virus thrown in the mix too. Maybe it didnt come from the game, but who knows.

:confused: It definitely is unrelated to this game.

Anyway, to negative responses from people who have tried it, I have to agree somewhat. But because this is still BETA, and i've played this game before (non USA version) and know how good it is when running smoothly, i'm going to give them a chance to fix the issues (mainly the running bounceback which they say they are working on, and is the main source of complaints)

You want a very good decent free game try Runes of Magic ,its 1000x better IMHO.

Is this as hardcore as UO (ie: dropped items on death, player housing, etc)? Where's the appeal?

Their website blows.

No, not 200,000,000 (200m)... they have claimed somewhere between 200,000 and 250,000 simultaneous users back in 2003 (across all servers). Even if that's 10% of their subscriber base, that only puts 2 million users across the world.

Please don't say something you can't prove. It's unlikely yes, but being this is an Asian-based game, it's very possible the malware came from it.

Keep in mind/grain of salt, most Asian's "anticheat" methods involve installing a rootkit on your machine like GameGuard or HackShield. The latest popular tool is HackShield (Aeria and Nexon both use it).
