    Okay, I have realized that I most likely deleted the email. So it would appear that Manitou will not be participating in the beta. :cry:

    *Cough*So I was only able to play for a few hours today, but that game seems interesting. The introduction instance quest is really well done and allows the player to immerse himself/herself into the game. One thing I like is that I don't have the feeling of emptiness like I do in a lot of the MMOs I have played before. Most of the time it is just "here is how to use the controls, now go and randomly kill 50 rabbits and I will give you a pair of shoes" until the end of the game. The quests (of which I have done so far) all have some sort of story behind them, which gives the feeling of progression.

    I also like how there is always some type of music playing, it is much better than having to listen to nothing but the footsteps and the grunts from my character.

    So far I am liking it, but I definitely need more time to see just how good it is.
    *Cough*

    Wow, that was a bad coughing fit right there.
     
  15. so i got my *problems* figured out :) is there a way to hook up with people?
    like that we know? :) (uhmm.. you guys) :)

    Well my name is Hamma in the game (creative, I know) I also formed Dragon Wolves hehe.

    So far the game is ok - I am not too impressed but I am going to play it some more, see how I like it. I am an Elf Hunter - level 6 I think. :D *more coughing* Another thing thats cool is that as you advance through quests some of them affect the actual persistant world for you. For example, we did a quest that was a small instance - after we got through it the main city we started at was burnt to the ground - for all the newbs around us though it was the same town. *cough*

    That is kind of a weird concept..... so the the town is burned on your screen.... but noobs are still running around seeing the regular town asking stuff like "Where iz da leatherwerker!11!1?!?" ?

    Interesting.....
     
  18. I started an Elf Minstrel named Brumskii

    Indeed :lol:

    Essentially it seems all the same NPC's are there - but there is the addition of a few, some of the buildings are burnt down and some are smoking. Also - somehow the NPC mobs outside of the town changed to higher level aggro mobs. Dunno how they do it.. but it is interesting. Then, a farm we were questing at was all of a sudden infested with spiders..

    Kind of different.
     
  20. actually you advanced in the game and left the "newby" zone i believe.. i participated in that same quest and people i saw before were not there after. It's an interesting game i'll give it that. i think the hunters are a little over powered. i have a level 8 hunter and i can kill things 2 levels above me easy
