I do not see where we can go as a family with everyone able to play by themselves.

It does have the makings to be a very anti-social game which turned me off of it right out the gate, but I have been playing it in pre-alpha and it's not terribly bad. Feels like stepping into an old school MMO however with a huge learning curve and information overload. It was like trying to learn DAOC all over again. It's core mode is a MMO approach. I was playing with dozens of people at the same time. It's just if you want to turn off the outside world you can start the game as a solo game or an invite mode. The main game however is open.

The last scene shown was a character galloping like a horse and striking together 2-halves of a coconut. I've always wanted to do that.

I was pledge on this during kickstarter. I installed the game few months ago and I only logged twice to play the game and deleting it after that.

Now I'm back to ESO TU

Grimgryphon,

 

$800 is no small chunk of change, and I haven't heard many good things regarding Richard Garriot. The fact that they treat their backers so poorly is pretty telling that he's as, "I'm right and you're wrong because I'm Lord British!" as he usually has been.

 

I played "Richard Garriot's Tabula Rasa" only for the game to shut down a couple of months later. This game literally had his name right on the cover. So of course I already felt this his, "Lordship" ripped me off.

 

I'm already going to avoid this game and any other game with his name on it like the plague.

I backed this game at the $25 level or something; whatever the lowest backing entry was for a digital copy of the game.  This was much the same as Pathfinder Online, it had a lot of potential as a sandbox MMO but due to the way they get their funding they are missing a lot of the guts that make an MMO fun to play. One of my biggest pet hates is poor character animations; You can have the best mechanics and the most amazing content in the world, but if it's missing smooth character animations I may as well be playing a MUD.

Moving to the StreamTeam forum as it is no longer in the running for possible chapter. We will however have a Guild Setup for use in our livestreams that yyou're welcome to gather in and hang out if you like under the understanding that it's not a formal guild and we wont be organizing it at all. It will be purely for use during our visits with the Streams of Epic Adventure and Fog's Side Quests.
