Just go to that site. Read about it. Look at the screenshots. Do the very complicated install(you download 5 smaller parts[each 20 mb], then a reassembler). Start playing.

I haven't played yet, but reading about it and looking at the screens...it just looks amazing. And from what I can find, you don't have to give up any personal info, either!

    Downloading now. I haven't even played and I already like the game simply for their intelligence of splitting the installer instead of the typical "we figure EVERYONE in the whole world has a T1 line so we'll make the 'patch' as big as we possibly can and include the most useless crap evar" which we get from big gaming companies.

    Might be due to my firewall but I'm running into a problem where it says "You are link dead" on character creation then complains it cant connect to server.

    I solved the character creation problem but now I can't get into the game itself <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Too good to be true?

    Nay. I haven't played it yet, but looking at the website it is in a REALLY early stage of development.

    I.E, pre-alpha. That is the official name for the state it's in.

    There are currently no shops, and there is one dungeon containing no monsters, as there is no combat system <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Well, worth dloading and looking at in a couple of months.

    2-3 YEARS?<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->? AAAAAARGH!!!

    It's like waiting for 2.0 all over again!

    If anyone knows whatever language this game is coded in, for god's sake help them out! I can't wait 3 years for this!

    Well.... there is, if you just want to see what this game COULD be.

    From the looks of it it will be at least 1/2 a year until this becomes a 'game'.

    Right now from the sound of it all you can do is explore, and do quests which don't involve combat.

    Yay.

    Time to put this to one side, foget about it, then find it again in a year <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The Dilemma - Only time to play <b>1</b> game.

    MMORPG will eventually turn me into an atrophied, smelly lump
    NS lets me play when I want without getting addicted.

    NS is winnar!

    If you see me playing this, kick me in the face, please.

    Must...hold out...for...D&D Online...

    Looks good though, I remember a few years ago reading in PC Gamer about how future MMORPGs would be free but would have advertising. Like in a futuristic space MMORPG you might see a floating billboard for Pepsi or something, as long as they don't start naming items commercially ("The RCA Robot drops a Nike Ring of Speed +3!") I don't mind.

    Sounds like the dot-com mentality is alive and well...

    "We don't have a product yet. We don't have any concrete plan that involves money changing hands between our target audience and us. But we have SPONSORS! And... a WEBSITE!"

    Any product thats free is usually A) of quality that it can not be sold B) Not really free C) As this is a cheap ploy for free labor and donations.

    what in the holy flying fjuck was the point, relevance, or vague relatedness of that reply?

    anyway... does anyone know exactly what they're working on implementing currently? like... monsters... killing... quests in which you retrieve items from monsters you killed...

    mm?

    I've played it, and I'm happy to say...

    HOLY CRAP! THE DAMNED GRAPHICS! MY SPLEEN....MUST SELL! WOOOHOOOO!

    Ok, now, notice that for me good graphics is Q3, being my vc suxorz. But on to what I actually think...

    The architecture is...amazing. I'm telling you, you may just wanna look at some of the buildings for a long time.

    Character creation is deep and involving, while not seeming...overwhelming.

    Its easy to be immersed as a person.

    It was fun for while I was playing.

    Now, on to the issue of combat...

    Their planning on having it in by December, and HIGHLY RECCOMMEND exploring before then, because they are pretty sure most won't be able to venture far outside town at that point, because it gets hard fast.

    Their also planning on having 3 more races available, and another 200 items.

    I really am liking this, can't wait till combats in.
