I met up with Joose today, his clown is scary.
I made a new guy called Dan. He's dirty and shoots things.

Then I went to eat, when I came back Joose had another dude. He appears to be an 80's robot.

We're prolific alters, this is Joose's Vicar.

Then I decided to breakdance on my ice board while jumping off a skyscraper :D

And then made some weird dual-swords lady, and met up with Berk's 'Red Wing'.

A frightening furry emoted at us :(

Then we met up with pete and had a lamp post party.

Pete is LARGE.

Looks like they're giving keys to non-fail planet subscribers now. I just asked for one but it says it's on hold or something. I'm downloading the client while I wait.

Presumably the early start program characters wont be wiped. Email says it starts on 28th.

I'm loving the ability to save costumes in the character creator. I can spend ages on it and not worry about having to finish, just load up the next time and finish it off. The creator is almost as good as the game. I meant to check but do the saved costumes appear as files you can share?

I think it's a reset and fettle post-beta so everyone who's pre-ordered gets a nice fresh set of character slots to start with on the 28th.

I doubt you can share the costume files, there's in-game unlockable and exclusive costume pieces, possibly they'll make an out of game char viewer that you can share your stuff on.

Sometimes the game is really quite pretty.

There are storyline supervillains dotted around the different areas, this one is a nasty big radioactive one thats' been fucking Canada over with mutants.

Yeah, it's capped unless you have a sub.

Still, you get to experience the joys of the starting areas for the first time when you play!
