Discussing specialties within each skill would likely reduce redundancy, such as everybody making really good *swords*. Unless everybody likes swords and axes.

You forgot me!

[Nirur Torir]

Aren't you Rolf?

[Akura]

Looks like so many people are going for mining. But that's not all that surprising.

I notice that nobody is making a dedicated fighter, though. I guess we all could make alts for that.

[Carcanken]

Seems the server is down, same for you all, or is it just me?

[Hugehead]

"Furthermore, the beta servers will be down between March 7th and March 11th"

[Carcanken]

Oh,
*facepalm*

I don't really get why people get so happy from skill based games rather than lvl based games.
It doesn't really change anything? It seperates lvl'ing into multiple sections. The grind is still there.
If you are skill 20 swords and all a skill 60 swords guy will pwn your 4ss like theres no tomorrow.

Just posting it here since this is another game with skill based stuff.

_{Note: i do not think 1 of those is better, im saying its pretty much the same thing?}

Except with skill-based systems, you usually do not progress in skills by using completely unrelated skills. "My cooking gave me enough XP to level up, I shall now raise my masonry skill!". It's generally the more realistic of the two systems.

I like sandbox games because I get to build things and have a lot more of an impact on the world than say WoW, as the general comparison seems to be. We can group together, build a city, and have a presence in the world much more powerful than having a high level character and good endgame raid gear.

It isn't really about how levelling works, moreso about the general approach that the game takes to how much of a "virtual world" it really is, and how much of an impact I can have on it, be it in a team or as a single person.

any idea at what exact time they will put the servers back up?

[Akura]

Probably tomorrow morning EST. Or probably when the server time ticks over to 3/12/2011 12:00AM.

[Nirur Torir]

Update:

Due to more delays and some brand new problems that need resolving, downtime will be extended over the weekend. Server will remain down and come up at around 6pm GMT Monday March 14th.

We apologize for the extended downtime, and hope you will enjoy the content changes we've been hard at work implementing.

[Akura]

Dammit, I was looking forward to playing it this weekend.
