I had to switch over to Internet Explorer. There's not really a button visible but there's a really really compressed image maybe 2 pixels high 30 pixels wide that you can click on to submit the form.

edit: actually it's like 1 pixel high maybe 8 pixels wide. I'll try to ss it.

I have low expectations, but thanks for keeping us informed.

fixed ;)

Still loads of players in the game and no problems getting in a group ,the end bosses in instances at later levels are tough which makes it more fun and challenging.

I love my rogue,got to love duel weapons and stealth cloak plus high DPS.

Pretty fun game, I'm having just as much fun as WoW. The 2 classes per character thing is very novel, that makes for 30 different combinations. It would rock if you could add a THIRD class! Maybe they'll do that in the future but it would really diversify the game.

Holy Cow! Thanx man.

This game is actually not as bad as I thought and got a lot of depth..... Well that and tons of mindless grinding. ;) Gfx not too good, but for a free game, Runes is still VERY good overall... Auction house, mounts, alchemy, carpentry, dual classing.... you name it!

Yep quite fun and still a lot of players in the game ,everyday quite a few new guilds being formed too(only 100,000 gold to form a guild).

I'm not power leveling since I really want to try Druid once its in the game so quite happy to single class right now with my rogue.
Some interesting duel classes I have seen like scout/mage ,Knight/mage,rogue/priest to name a few.

They're going to put a druid in the game? Awesome.

Anyone know where I can get a talent calculator for Warrior? I'm on Osha btw, name = Zandur drop me a line. So far level 10 Warr/1 Knight, haven't spent any talent points because I want to do some more research first.

I wonder what's in it for the developers. Alot of work went into this and it ain't bad at all. Just hit level 10 with a mage and I chose another caster as a second class (sheesh, I can't remember what it was and it was just a couple of days ago). I wonder if that is a good idea.

So how is the cash shop in this game?

I stay away from most games that has these since usually you end up spending more then a normal monthly fee game in a cash shop game just to keep up with other players and to be able to level up at a normal speed.

Also are you able to sell the items you get in the cash shop in their auction house?

I usually see games like this that the only way to reset your skills and such are with cash items and if you cannot get them any other way it leads to a issue when finding people to party with.

Also I see this is one of those games where in order to pvp even on a pvp server you have to activate it unless on some sort of battleground and when you get pked you have a change of dropping items.

So I assume only when manually activating the pvp you can loose the items you have equipped or in your bags so does this still happen when you go to battlegrounds or does this only happen when you pvp in the open world and find people that have the pvp flag activated.

I never really cared for these types of games where you have to manually enter pvp, other then going in a battleground, whenever you feel like it and was wondering if they did it somewhat decent.

And finally is there a way to keep one or two items safe or are only cash shop items safe from being dropped since loosing your main weapon or such could suck?

You have PVE servers as well,you have a house where you can put stuff in even a bank vault,auction house anybody can use for buying and selling,some items are only available in diamond currency so you need to have real cash to buy those from main homepage (there is a link),however there is plenty of items in gold currency,some players will exchange diamonds for gold.


Why not try it?..its free nothing to lose.

Wonder what they're gonna do with the blue cards we're getting. Running out of bag space to hold that crap.

so what sort of casting classes are in this game? Being at work I cant look at the website to check it. Thought I would be able to find out through yalls posts but it seems like the majority of you guys are playing tanks/dps/and healer style classes. At least thats what the mmo mindset is teeling me based on the class names shown by you guys.
