Originally posted by daylight01 Um, my point is that the demographics are changing, it's the last sentence of the paragraph. Do I need to spell out what that means? It means that there could be other changes too. And we don't know if the blocks are actually happening yet since the CB and OB didn't have IP blocking. It's all speculation at this point. My post wasn't to "make people feel better," merely to say that previous posts were crying about UK not having any EU players to play with when that is clearly false. Oh, and I'm sorry I forgot the Benelux, I thought I had typed it in.
We should have more information today as the Frogster release appears to be going off as originally scheduled. |

You dont have to spell anything out for me sunshine but maybe try reading the official forums....... As I have explained in the other thread: http://www.tcos.com/sbforum/viewtopic.php?p=233188#233188 people from the countries under Frogster/Mindscape will be not eligible (aka IP banned) from playing on Acclaim servers and Frogster/Mindscape will IP ban people from Acclaim territories. Also, since we have a couple of thread on the matter as it is and this one moves towards personal bickering, here comes the lock.
This is the way it will be so again,whats your point? |

Originally posted by daylight01 What? In that link, Banshee basically says he/she does not know how they will "block" other than through account registration. But that is besides the point. Can you not freaking read??? My points easily laid out for the freaking retarded!!!! The game release is dynamic. With every day the information about release changes. The distribution of TCoS is a goat screw. The statements made previously in the thread are now FALSE. Nobody, not even Banshee and Mirage, know how this release is going to happen with any certainty anymore. So, my recommendation to the Euros who have their panties in a bunch over this release: wait until after release and see for yourself.
And finally, you were an active member of TCoS forum who is stating he will not play. So why are you trolling me with vague questions about nothing and derailing a perfectly good thread? |

Yep, I think it's definitely worth a look. Seems like they're trying to be a bit different, so good on them. |

1st off try this link..I didnt give you a link in the previous post that was a quote from Banshee. http://tcos.com/sbforum/viewtopic.php?t=15296&start=45 Banshee as I quoted clearly states there will be IP blocking. 2nd yes I AM STILL a member of the TCoS forums and have posted alot of info about the game so I continue to post on this forum as well as others about the launch,I dont see that as trolling simplying finishing what I started. 3rd I came on this thread as you are giving out wrong information about the launch it is clear,cut and dry about the IP blocking but you keep telling people it isnt. Like I said read what I quoted from Banshee, there WILL be IP blocking. |

I've been following this game since mid summer and I've got to say that I've lost all interest in this game. At first it looked and seemed like a really cool idea. They owned the IP, the lore, etc. The gigantic schism from the industry standard with respect the class trinity (melee, arcanes, ranged). it all seemed pretty darn interesting. However, their PR/Advetisign is terrible. Were it not because I sub to MMORPG rss feed, I would've never know this game even existed. Their forums are pretty much dead; you see lots of posts but are from the same couple dozen people since last year. Then there's the combat system. Sure it's potentially uber cool; however, they should've learned from Tabula Rasa that reaction/twitch-based combat just does NOT mix well with MMOs at all. Disconn, network latency, client latency, etc. It will get a lot of people frustrated VERY fast. Skills will have little to do with it. It all will boil down to who's closer to the servers with the least numbers of hops and who has the quickest reflexes. It does nothing for strategy either. The fact that you can have a random long ping for couple hundred packets and you'll be pwned, should be deterrent enough for most people including what you call "hard-core gamers." Then there's the biz decisions ... pretty terrible. Knowing they *won't* have a big player base, instead of consolidating them, they're splitting them. Way to go Spellborn NV! I don't think I'll even waste my time downloading it and trying it out. There are just too many options in the MMO world nowadays to put up with subpar ideocyncracies.
Peace. |

I waited for about 3 years to get the opportunity to play this game and as some before me have stated TCoS have shot themselves in the foot. If they are focusing on elitist players with their quirky combat system and vague quest descriptions they will get just what they are aiming for; a very limited fan base. If they are hoping to survive, they should have designed a game based on something more familiar and readily player friendly. I spent the first hour or so in the game with a 'guide' who did his best to lead me but failed miserably. The very first quest left me with some fuzzy instructions to go somewhere in a northerly direction and do some training. (Prior to getting some assistance I had already wasted another 3/4 of an hour just wandering around in some maze of streets trying to find a path that led north.) When I got to the training area even with help I was unable to get the quest to work. When I voiced my concerns to the 'guide' he told me to give the game a chance! After spending more than an hour getting nowhere, I fealt I had given it more than a fair chance. My recommendation to potential players is instead of giving it a chance; give it a pass.
