Appears the game has been released for public consumption! [Source]
Here is to welcoming all the new players!
Grats to the Dev's as well! It was a long road and it appears you've succeeded! I used to play WoW and frankly, this game is more fun, in my opinion. I can pick it up, play, and put it back down when I need to without much hassle. I'm glad you didn't try to make a clone!
That picture made my day.
Now try to bring back some monsters.
Back on topic: I played a hand full of free MMOs before and even beta tested a couple of them but this is my favorite.
You can range from playing for five minutes to the whole day this game is fun and flexible.
You made the first MMOG that I simply love playing. Hell, you made the first MMOG that made me shed a tear. No, seriously.
It's not hard to see that you put a lot of effort and heart into your game, and I hope that you'll be rewarded for doing so.
at what point exactly did you shed a tear? when you ran out of CE for the day?? lol
First day and I'm already loving this. I've played on OOO's other game Y!PP for almost 6 years so now I am open to embrace change and try a new OOO game.
Now try to bring back some monsters.
We actually managed to do that with a couple of Phantoms from the Graveyard back when the shield-elevator glitch was still there. Unfortunately we were too busy laughing to screenshot it.
I wonder how you can tell the difference between a real new player and one of the betas, other than saying "hey do you have the groundbreaker stuff?" I kind of figured there wouldn't be too many new players this soon, but then I went on a tier 1 run earlier and someone opened a danger room... I said you might not want to go in there, and they asked why, then I knew it was on. The monsters had a lot of fun with them (and me too sadly >.>).
@Negima Sonic. I know what you mean. I'm new and my party went into one of the danger rooms not knowing how hard it actually was. xD We died like 2 or 3 times each. I managed to stay alive pretty well but it was hard. All in all I blame the non existent lag.
Thanks to all of those who helped shape the game we're playing today!
And a warm welcome to all new players!
@Xcommando , welcome to the game. I'm sure it was fun for you guys, at the very least my new people made me do something I usually wouldn't, so I think it was a win-win
1. Yeah, because that's such a good way to show how good the game is.
Actually, it may be, but I never bought CE directly and almost never used it anyway, so...
2. The moment where that happened to me was when I realised just how much effort has been put into this. Certainly more than most big budget games I've played recently... (coughDarkDawncough)
when i read nicks post about what games / experiences he wanted this to feel like (secret of mana / zelda / phatasy star) i was so happy because those are some of my favorites :)
is the pioneers medal a part of the groundbreaker set? still confused on why this stuff is in my inventory and was like WTF IS THIS
It is.
Think of it as an Achievement: that thing that makes your e-peen larger.
Well meaning note from the Notorious Troll Guild: Sbdajpplifrozk.
Always attempt to bring Artefacts down the Elevators with you.
For the sake of science and study, always try to rescue as many Ancient Artefacts as possible!
For SCIENCE! And CHALLENGE!
...though, for your safety. Do not carry the ones that revives zombies unless you really hate your friends and party members.
