Its on the right side...man it looks really good. The background graphics, the pace, everything looks really good.

They noted that the Rclick makes you dodge...that is a new mmorpg thing, havent heard that yet.

Anyway, go check it out, and the screenshots...they enviornments are really amazing...

I dig the graphics. This was the route I was going to go before I found mythica.

Yes, graphics are good indeed. Man, there are just way too many good games coming in 2004. There needs to be 48 hours in a day and 12 of them should be dedicated to gaming. I can't say for sure, but I don't think this game will make my cut...too far off to tell though.

THe thing i dont like about ultima X is that you have to press the left button everytime you attack. That seems like it would annoy me.

[Bograt]

far too many good ones being developed, the ones i am most interested and will probably try are

Mythica
UXO
EQ2
WoW

[Leageth]

same with me bograt....i'll give EQ2 a try, but i don't think it will be as good as the first

For me, I think I'm interested in:

Mythica
DnDO
MEO
WoW
Guild Wars

But due to time and cost I'll probably only play Mythica and Guild Wars. But I'll be checking them all out, my mind could change at anytime.

CRIPES!! you mean, everytime you want to swing your sword you have to click? That'll give a few thousand more people RSI for sure.

People complaining that autoattack is boring. Then they complain when you take it out. Whats a dev to do?

[esion]

^^Hehe so true...

[Bograt]

lol scarne, so true. personally i am happy with autoattack and u click for ur spells/special moves

It also seems you won't be swinging 100 times a mob to hit enough to kill. Seems more fast paced and more actual damage when you hit. And right click was to put you in defensive mode and you can always dodge by moving around and strafing. I'm afraid to try it as I can't play two I LIVE in one. First great game out is going to get me though, after a few years in EQ I havent had a fulltime game to pay to play for since my 3 months in daoc, have just been beta testing since, and some of the ones released recently are pay to betas anyway cough swg cough.

I'll watch EQ2 why I dunno and I doubt I really would buy another sony online game.

I'll check out WoW just cause everyone says they make great games, me I dunno but everyone and their mother are pinning their hopes on this one.

Hopefully Mythica beta will start before UXO or else trying this may be my first and last thing I do for oh years.

And of course betaing Mythica and paying for a great game is my number one choice and hope.

However with the exception of Mythica which I expect I'll be betaing so will know right away, I will not ever be buying a mmorpg again in it's first month of release.

Release quality is a issue that has not improved over time as the industry gains experience as you would expect, but has instead gotton worse over time. To the point that games release with a shell of what they planned and promised and what is released doesn't even work in many many areas. Whole classes or professions broken in some games and some even still that way 6 months down the road. If you preorder a mmorpg you are saying I don't care what is in that nice box just get me one first. I will pay for anything you make no matter how bad it may be or that it doesn't even have half the things in game it said it would have. Oh and by the way, if you make up another pretty box 6 months later with those things that should have been in at release, I'll take two.
