To begin I would like to start by saying "day two" does not mean actual physical days, just when I get a chance to make a write up, I have actually been playing for 3-4 days, and have spent about 15 hours in game so far, so not too bad.
So I was on a quest for a Hobbit, to go collect something like pipe-weed or some such. When I arrived on the scene there was another person standing next to the quest NPC. I went up to the NPC and did my usual RP deal and started speaking to the NPC saying responses to the NPC as it it were a real person. In the past this has engaged some interesting and humerous responses from people, making for some good roleplaying. This time however was different, because the approach to the speach with the NPC was serious and not humerous. The person standing next to me turns and say's "Are you talking to the NPC like its a real person?" and I replied "O cut the odd talk, Elf! What is an NPC?". The man then said to me...
"Dont even try to play this off, that is just wierd!" and walked away. So lesson one folks: choose your roleplaying wisely, and do not make bad roleplaying by making situations akward for those around you.
Another Fallacy of todays roleplaying experiance for me was when I was engaged in a conversation with an obviously better and more skilled RPer in disagreement. I spoke as if I were a bandit, brigand, what have you, because in game I am a Buglar. Well at the end of our long arguement I said to him "Well good sir, you certainly have the same honor and are as venerable as I". Then in front of the crowd he said in OOC: "Honor? Your class is Brigand, all you do is Steal shit! and stab people in the back!". Of course the OOC laughed, so did I, it was funny!, Also it was a further sign that my roleplaying was simply not what it should be, and that I was not getting deep into my character, and showed that most of my RP was actually Forced, and did not flow right.
-------------------------------------------
Being an actor myself I took this to heart as a time to start back at the beginning of my character and kind of look as his small beginning and try and see where he was at now development wise. I say this because in theatre you must often make up a backround or a destination for your character to further his motivation. Today I had no motivation, I was simply doing some "Bad Acting" or "Roleplaying" in this instance.

I don't see how being able to solo a game would be game breaking, every game out there gives you the choice to bypass group content if you so wish.
And that's the problem with alot of them games out atm, some games are too easy.
I miss the great interaction with other players from games like EQ and FFXI but nowadays people barely even speak unless they absolutely have too which upsets me in a way.
Being a huge grouping fan in the MMORPG I can honestly tell you right now grouping in my opinion makes things easier than soloing alot of content. It is not the fact that grouping is better because it is harder. Grouping is better than soloing because it is more engaging! You get to work together and that takes more thought than working by yourself in most cases.

The only problem I have with it is the horrible character models.
I agree, the models are still far too cartoony. The bodies are disproportional, their legs are way to big compared to the rest of their body.
I think the graphics look slightly better than before, with the tone downed lightsabers, but a few things still bother me.
Like I already said, the character models are out of proportion and look cartoony. Their clothes, even though they are wearing robes, still look like spandex(The pants are perfect tight fit, there is no loosness at all which adds to the cartoony look and makes it look like spandex still). There seems to be too much shine on things that shouldn't have any shine, like the cloak hood or their pants. And the terrain looks far more like a drawing than it does a world. These all add up to look incredibly cartoony and immature and I still don't like their art direction in the least, they should have just stuck with KotOR graphics.
I have to disagree with you 100% to me the graphics do not look cartoony at all. People will go on here and say "The Grass looks just like WoW!" or "The Spandex is so City of Heroes!". Get over it guys.

What are the chances Clan Naked can be viable?
Clan Naked will be a guild that doesn't wear clothes, or armor, and only uses weapons scavenged on the battlefield from fallen victims. We will engage in unarmed combat primarily, spells, and hand to hand.
There are 300-500 skills, so...
I think the weapons shouldn't be a problem. There are probably unarmed combat skills, like Kung Fu, or Boxing, or something like that, for melee. Plus, there are combat spells, so we should be able to fight without swords or bows and arrows.
The big problem is probably the armor. We don't want to be to squishy. But, maybe there are armor spells, like Stone Skin. That's a classic. Or maybe there are protective spells that deflect damage, like Warp Arrows, resistance to flame, and so on.
We concentrate on these sorts of defensive spells, instead of wearing Plate Mail, or other types of armor.
But can we be competitive with players that use defensive spells, AND wear Plate Mail?
Or, even worse, what if gear gives really great bonuses, like wizard robes that stop damage, amulets, and so forth.
Maybe we could compromise, and jewelry and amulets would be ok, but no robes. It' hard to say without seeing the list of gear, but perhaps it's possible.
Dare to Bare! Clan Naked!
Where do I sign up?
People think that Mount and Blade has bad graphics but I think that game is beutiful. It is all personal Preferance, for example I love the Darkfall Graphics and style but I hate most of the animations. Will it stop me from playing the game? Damn you got to be kidding me, no of course it wont. Anyone here remember the running animations in SWG. Even look at UO the graphics were just fair for the time but I loved the art style.

Within 60 days huh? People should be held more accountable if they falsify something like this. Charges should be filled aginst people that make/tamper with this type of stuff. I am not saying that the OP did, and only he knows (for now). I would venture a guess that even the hardcore DF fans atleast have to raise a small question at this info. In all seriousness who else gives a time frame on when a game is released beside the game DEV'S? Maybe GNI is under the impression that it was going to release in 08 and adventurine has not informed them that its not, it still might 08 is not over? Even some of the most vocal fans say theres a good chance it wont be out in 08. I know 60 days covers 09 now. But come on guys stop reaching into bags of tricks trying to get something. Let Adventurine say a release date and make strides to show its fans that its going as planned. That will be the only time to trust it. Plain and simple. Not this gimmick crap from some off the wall source.
You are pathetic dude. I get news straight from GNi which is working directly with Aventurine to host the game. How is that a bag of tricks e-mailing a company? That is how you get truthful information by talking to the business partners of the game. I am an adult, not some little kid like you on here talkin out of your ass.
What more reputable source do you want? E-mail the guy yourself, you see his e-mail address on here right?
Instead of sitting here talkin crap, e-mail him and ask if you don't believe me.
Yes majority of the posters here are cringe worthy I agree. I find nothing wrong with your post and IF people would like to say its photoshopped why do they not just get it under a magnifying glass and look?
Do you plan on buying an MMO related gift during the holiday season?
