That looks great, but I am avoiding it like the plague. I like these type of games a bit too much ~D

[Kraellin]

thanks :)

You really are a sucker for freebies, aren't you, Krae? ~D

Could ya let me know your opinion once you've given it a whirl, please?

[Qilue]

Free software is cool. Some freeware is even better than so-called commercial software and shareware. The Gimp being a good example. :)

[Kraellin]

crand,

i've two nice large partitions full of the stuff, most of which has never been installed :)

funny you shld mention the gimp. i've got that too.... also never installed :)

this stuff sort of falls into the category of 'oh, that looks kinda cool. i'll download it and try it later.' later rolls around and i'm still downloading other stuff, so never have time to actually install :)

but yes, if i do install this, i'll write something up. i'm sort of obliged to try it at some point because i know this young lady who loves rgp's and she'd kill me if i didnt tell her about it, but i wont waste time telling her about it till i try it out myself.

Guilds are permanent parties your character can join or form. Once in a guild, you can communicate with your guild members globally via the guild chat channel. People form guilds for many reasons, in Rubies you are likely to find: crafter guilds, racial guilds, spellcaster guilds, role-playing guilds, non-english speaking guilds, and guilds for players who just like to party! To register a guild, you need to have at least 5 people (in a party together) and one larn of wealth to give to the Guild Registrar in the Kaj Blood Keep.

:charge:

So if it is a decent game we may see a Total War Guild ~:cheers:

300+ megs in about 40 mins!
I love broadband

[Ja'chyra]

I tried this game and didn't like it that much.

I thought the controls were a bit clumsy and zone loading took ages, and I do have broadband. All in all I don't think I will be playing it too often.

But then, it's free.

[Sjakihata]

from what I have seen, it reminds me a lot of Dark Age of Camelot, except, of course, this is free!

:balloon2:

Where is a good mirror site?

[ChaosLord]

Hmm. I had beta-tested this awhile back and wasn't that impressed. As someone else mentioned, the controls were a little clunky. But since they're offering a free account that doesn't seem to be that restricted I think i'll give it another try, thanks for the headsup. And Sjakihata, check www.filemirrors.com and search it if you know the installs filename.

[Sjakihata]

After searching for a download mirror, I think this file only exists as a torrent. Which is what I am using now.

[Sjakihata]

Ok, Im playing on Pheonix server currently, since there's some issues with payment on the only RPG server 'Fireopals'. If anyone wants to play the game, go play on pheonix and we can team up.

On controls, they are changeable you know?

[Ja'chyra]

Ok Sjakihata, I'll give it another go tonight, my character will either be called Jachyra or Aeil and I should be on around 1900 GMT if you're there

[Sjakihata]

im here, but i cant connect to phoenix server
