Re: [Arianne-devel] [gentoo-user] NEW LINUX GAME: NEEDS AN EMERGE!!!!! (fwd)

[Steve <st...@ro...>]

I had a look at the game last night and today. My first thoughts were: the
initial load time of the client and the connection process is extremely slow
(if you have anything else running, such as Seti@HOME). The in game play was
very nice, the first thing I noticed was a gentle swaying of the long
grasses around me. After a while running around, I actually found a
building, the University of Architecture, there was nothing else around,
very strange. In order to learn Carpentry, I needed 1 Stone Blade (what's
that I said) so, off I went to find a Stone Blade.

At last, I see someone in the distance, their name is "Sombody" I thoght
this to be very silly. When he got right next to me and started talking to
me about signing some petition (apperently a quest) his name changed to his
real name, and that made me feel better about distances and regognition of
things in game. So, I try to sign this petition and the game tells me I need
to have a paid account, I suppose I should have tried to find out if this
was a free game before hand.

Overall, I thought the gameplay and the graphics were quite nice, and
smooth. I'm not sure if there was any audio. I didn't like the fact that
there was very little around me when I started, and I didn't have the
opportunity to customize my character before startinf the game (I think you
change some colours in game). For US$13.95 per month, I don't think I will
be playing this game much more.

The system specs I ran the game on are:
  P3 1.8 GHz
  512 Mb RAM
  MSI GeForece 4 440 MX 64 Mb video
  Onboard 6-channel sound
  Windows 2000 w/ all updates
  Cable internet
