had a go on it; it looks like it could be alot of fun, but since this is my first MMONG, it was a bit weird for me, and for some reason it LAGS LIKE AN UTTER BITCH. i turned down all the graphic options on the very lowest, but to no avail. it completely fails to run properly...

any advice?

:above: You could run this thing on a cray, but if the server end is throwing cogs because it's beta, there's nowt you can do, it'll get better.*

It has pirates and giant squids.. er.. well.. krakens.. but nearly the same. It can't be that bad! :)

Important news just in:

Apparently Paying for one subscription for this game is cheaper than paying for 3 Eve subscriptions.

Oh I follow you now, I thought you'd seen actual prices, hence the :?

I think about £10 is a sensible limit for a MMONG, I hope it's not over that, be cool if we can pay in $$ too as that always works out nicely for us.
