Okay, well. Yeah. Here's some screenshots.

I remade Painguish, one of my old COV characters, and gave him a pirate based overhaul.

Berk made.. Miss Teak. She's special.

Painguish can fly on an ice platform, which allows him to dive onto people faster than other flight powers. Teak chose tunneling.

As I raised my strength, I was able to pick up larger and larger objects..

And then I saw a furry and logged off :(

Goddammit! I can't afford 2 MMONGS at the moment, and I'm not done with wow yet as I'm too close to the top levels to give up now. :shakefist:

You CAN afford two mongs!

Give up [insert non-essential item here] and save [insert pounds sterling figure here] then you can play both!

I can't really either, but I'll still get champeens and pay/play that and wow. Possibly huxley too. Although my next shooter fix will possibly be covered by section8 until I receive future cod.

I'm somewhat tempted to dive into a MMONG myself, but I only want one that that's really worth it's money. Is this what I'm looking for? Or should I wait for the space one?

Any of them are worth the money if you play them for more than a few hours a week. Better to go for one with 5punkers, obviously, but if you enjoy it then you're getting your money (see my article on the price of gaming). Problem comes when you're trying to chose one which you want to be the next 5punky trend, which could be anything.

Do it Mr. J!

Most places are offering 30 days free gametime with purchase of the game, plus access to the beta phase right now, and a week's headstart over people who aren't pre-ordering.

The character customisation is VAST, and if you like tweaking your dudes in every which way as much as I do, it's a game in itself. Berk and I were on teamspeak pissing ourselves laughing at the different slider combinations last night.

It's also fairly simple compared to a lot of the other MMO's I've played, a good one to start with!

I done gone paid for a lifetime subscription. Now I just hope it doesn't die within a year, which it shouldn't.

I logged on briefly the other day and I notice with the final polish on the presentation it's looking great now.

I'll probably get LT for this, haven't looked at it yet, but that's because I don't want to put time into a character that gets wiped.

I assume I can just download the client.

How much are they asking for LT? I looked the other day but the brain it fails almost as much as their site does.

If you've pre-ordered you should have a beta code you can use to create an account on their website and download the beta client.

Lifetime subscription is £120. That might be excluding VAT. You get some extra in-game toys for that and guaranteed closed beta access for Star Trek Online, which was a draw for me. Although I think I'm starting to get sick of playing unfinished games.

I haven't preordered, I thought they might waive that cost in light of one buying an LT sub. Guess I'll see when I sign up.

Possibly, but having to buy the game is usually a pre-requisite for any subscription.

For those joining us in the beta fuckabout, we've gone to the desert mostly, and have people at 7-ish, and whatever level it is when you just get there.

Shall do so tonight.

After about five hours of making my char. :lol:

I briefly (5 minutes) tried the gadgeteer out last night.
His guns are weak and puny, but I have some sort of undead nazi costume thing going on, so I'll be keeping him.

LT sub also needs a retail key.

Ah well. At least you'll have infinity+1 months subscription.

I've got a character going and on the way to the dessert. Mmmmm dessert.

Yes, I shall enjoy that extra month after infinity runs out. Are play supposed to send me a beta key sometime?
