Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent - Open Beta is live.

It's pretty cool, I would say slightly less "refined" than Runes of Magic, but also a different setting. It's a (WoW-like) cartoon steampunk style game, with two factions that end up doing PvP. Tons of classes to choose from, and there's guns.

For the price, it's worth a try.

I should point out - last night they were having some issues with glitched spawns. There were two quests I ran into with several people camping out waiting for said spawn for hours. I think one of them was the specialization quest too, which rather sucked, but it was already late and I decided to go to bed anyway.

Yeah, I think I ended up re-sending to a different email account than I normally use. I believe sending to Yahoo took like 3 days, whereas my personal domain account (hosted by gmail) was within minutes.

Quest mobs were up last night, at least when I was running back to the town I stumbled on both the mobs I needed in the same spot.

Played this for a few hours today... its ok so far

Character movement is starting to get annoying though, especially while mounted. Characters/mounts seem to constantly get stuck (or warp) while trying to walk around corners or anything that isn't a completely level surface

I agree... I've gotten my character stuck inside a wall in the city once. But yeah, it seems like the character can move to places it's not really supposed to if you try hard enough. And it gets stuck on things that it doesn't apparently have collided with. Also, keep in mind walking through water hits you with a speed debuff... I noticed anything that alters your movement speed will stop you while the speed change is applied, and you have to manually start moving again (sucks with autorun).

And turning is funny too... as you run in a straight line and any directional change doesn't update immediately and does so in "steps".

Still, it's a nice diversion.
