slackjaw · 11-13-2002, 01:19 AM

So, for shits and giggles I put my name in for beta testing, second phase, should have my copy any day now. Anyone heard anything about it? I am pretty stoked for it.... I'll report in when I check it out for the first time.

Alot of games often have an open beta...When Everquest first came out for PC they had like 6 Beta tests, I got into phase 3, phase 6 was an open beta for anyone that signed up

I got the everquest dvd last week. The only good thing I can say so far is I figured out how to kill a garder snake before getting killed. a few times.

the servers frustrate the shit out of me!!!!
i'll play for a while and i'll get disconnected often! WTF?!?!?!? it's not like i'm using dial-up or sony wasn't expecting a huge amount of activity on their servers.

Personally, I like it. They have seriously fixed the servers and I rarely disconnect anymore. What is making it rough is that there are no real instructions, so if you haven't really played EverQuest before, you will struggle at the beginning. I am sure the official release will have plenty of instructions, so there goes that. Gameplay is pretty damned smooth, I've never experienced any real lag, except maybe when connecting, it does seem to take forever to finally get into actually playing. Graphics are solid. Manipulating the chat modes takes some getting used to, but at this point I have become pretty proficient. All in all, I think it will be a big success..... unless they decide to rape us for subscription fees, that could be the demise.

I'll check in later with more, but at least the gag order has been lifted Smile

LZMF1 · 11-21-2002, 01:13 AM

yup, i have no fucking clue what i'm doing in it or how to play it. eventually i'll figure it out.

QuickStop · 11-21-2002, 01:51 AM

Keyser Soze · 11-21-2002, 04:32 AM

keyser, you know that you need a modchip to play a burned game on a ps2 right?

if you ps2 is modded i'd be more than happy to burn you a copy.

Keyser Soze · 12-09-2002, 09:49 PM

Damn, i wonder if its worth having my ps2 mod'ed. how much will it run me?

LyricalGomez · 12-09-2002, 09:56 PM

probablly between 50 and 100 bucks, just remember that you void your warranty, and if you ever need the ps2 fixed don't even think of calling sony, they will blame the mod chip, blame you, and basically say fuck you buy a new one.
