Works fine for me, and I must say it's more fun than most Corean games I've tried. The graphics are pretty neat and the whole asian setting feels real. Although don't expect any other quest than "Kill x amount of x monster"...

Anyway it'll get you amused a while, at least it did for me today tongue.gif

I'm still working on setting everything up, DierextX 9.0 right now, but I downloaded and installed everything else this morning. The server was busy and I had forgotten to instal DirectX, so I was pretty much screwed.

Huh, I have an idea for what can keep me busy untill Oblivion comes out. I wonder of the people making this would have any use for a volunteer who can work on helping them out with their English for no charge. I'm good at editing and correcting spelling and grammar mistakes, and it's something to do, right?

Or maybe I could volunteer to help think of better quests. That could be fun.

I know they probably won't want/accept/be able to accept my help, but hey, it's worth a shot, right?

I've gotten it to work but it was so slow on my pc that I got out of it... I might try it on my dad's pc.

So what would it take to get another server for the game?

seeker if they are anything like priston tale was, and they probably are, they will not create another server until the current one crashes for an extended period of time. Priston tale did not make a new server until the other ones all crashed for a period of over 3 weeks.

Shogun, just let the loading screen continue, don't click until it asked you to select a server.

Wasn't expecting an actual chance, but hey, I'm hoping. Won't hurt to ask, right?

From a combination of that and seeing their site. And I finally got it to work, and I saw the automatic guide messages, which also have bad grammar.

Hopefully, they will realize that getting help, for no price, usually isn't a bad thing.

I got it to work fairly well. It's a bit laggy from time to time, but it's pretty fun. I had it up and running twice earlier. Got it going for a while, learned how to move and play and stuff, and then my computer crashed. Not from the game, my computer just dissconnected itself from the internet, like it often does. Then I got it up and running for a couple hours, got a character to level three or four.

Oh, I found some item I can't use, it's for female characters only. Nothing great, just some fancy gloves. If someone wants them, tell me here, and we can arrange a place to meet up. I don't see any point in selling them, money isn't that important.

My overall impression of the game is that it is pretty awsome. I tried a few other free MMORPGs, and this one's graphics are better than any of them by a couple of miles. The game is pretty cool so far, no real plot or anything, but cool enough anyways.

I'll detail a couple of the things about it. These are spoilers, only read ahead if you want to know.

Character Creation System- There are a couple of characters, I believe 13, for each gender. These each have original names and stories for them, including a couple who are undead, demons, and other such things. Each character has a paragraph or so to explain their past, and why they are on the Silk Road. Each character is good at different things. From there, your character can be modified by altering the height, build, starting clothing, and starting weapon.

Fighting system- There is a skill for each type of weapon, although your character might or might not have the skill for a particular weapon, depending on which you pick. The weapon types are sword, dagger, big sword (similar Seung Mina's weapon on Soul Calibur) spear, and axe. (I thik that's it, not completely sure.)

Magic System- Not sure of much about this one. I know there is a different skill for different types of elemental damage, haven't really used magic yet.

Level Up- When you level up, you get a certain ammount of points, which can be used to increase any skills you choose, as long as your character has that skill. One point is automatically added to magic power and health, although more can be added to them instead of increasing your skills.

Battle System- You click on the enemy, it shows how the two of you fight, doing all the dice rolls and such behind the scenes. There are several different attack animations.

Enemies- So far I have encountered two types of enemies. I can't remember what their called. sad.gif Three types if you count variations of the same kind. There are these little bad guys, big bad guys, and a champion form of the little bad guys. That's all I've run into so far.

Healing System- There is healing magic, you regain health when not in battle, and you can sit down and rest. While sitting, you regain health much faster than normally.

I got pretty far this time, managed to get all the way through the first stage of character creation before it froze.

I would say it's a bit laggy ALL the time, you should expect at least ½ a second delay on every action you make. But I learned to live with it and it's still a fun game.

Well, maybe a bit laggy all the time. What I meant was like a five second lag, sometimes more, on my computer, although, as you said, I learned to live with it. I'm used to choppy games. And if it gets really laggy, I go and eat breakfast, then come back down and wait for it to unfreeze. smile.gif (Nah, the most lag I've had was maybe twelve seconds.)
