Katricia said that it might take up to one or two days to get your email so.. Be patient, I guess.


</p>

[Fatal]

Might be a little early to say that. Kat says the emails could take a couple days.



From the boards and stuff I generally visit, you'd think noone got it.





Don't hold your breath, but don't give up hope just yet.

I don't know about you guys, but for us Spring Break is coming up next monday. It same for you on the mainland?



I really really hope I get to play <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":(">

spring break here was last week and sounds like theres still alot of college kids here this week. (basically, spring break is over here <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("> )



they arent sending emails by hand are they?! j/k



maybe they want to avoid ISPs thinking theyre spamming or something?

In the time i've been able to play this game, I will be playing a Rogue.



Rogue's get Feign Death at level 30, their damage output is insane, and the combat system is to die for.

No NDA has to be the smartest move ever.



With no NDA from the start they're able to collect information faster and easier. Plus they get to see what kind of enviroment it'll be like when it launches. The way the community is now, it feels like it already went retail. It kind of sucks though that the non-beta people have to endure this <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":(">

I think ripping them a new one will be very therapeutic.

I took a photo of myself and added my thoughts on not being invited to the beta.

This opinion brought to you by the letter A and the number 3. It's given to you free, and probably worth every penny you paid for it.</p>

Great review, Tsarakien. Took me a while to work through it, long and my attention kept wandering (doing other RL things), but very well worth the read. Atm, yer guild page isn't loading. Was it moved/deleted?


</p>

Aye, nice review Tsar...



I do have one question about dying that you mentioned.



If you "eat a death, take 5% xp loss, and solidify at the soulstone" (option 3 <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> ), what happens to your equipment? Is it like in EQ when you're under level 10, and ya keep all your gear, or do ya lose it all?



Thanks again,



Fudo

In no instance is your equipment ever at risk.



If you get rezzed, you rez in with equipment. If you eat the death you're rezed back at your bind with your equipment, if you run back to your corpse you auto rez with your equipment.



The necessity of a CR is only there to retrieve your xp, your equipment is NEVER in danger...



IMO this is a good form of death penalty, it allows you to explore and "get yourself in deep" without worrying that you'll never get your body back and thus will end up spending hours or years getting your equipment back.



As to my guild page not loading...yea, they're having problems with the server from what I can tell...if it's a real problem i'll re-post the entirety here, but Given the length of it (it's Really really really long even for one of MY posts...i'd say 5 -8 pages in word) i'd prefer to have it posted only once.
