BTW
If ye's are up for an NTSC-UK guild please post yer ingame names ftw.
I know some of ya have done so already, the more the merrier though

Ooooh 6800GT is pretty old now, not sure what your performance will be like with that.

The game is easy to get started with, you lvl up pretty quickly to begin with as well.

Oh and the Servers have just gone down for maintenance.

I meant 8800GT. I mistyped lol, its how i reckon they come up with the new numbers for their cards.

[Ian(not Ian)]

8800GT should be fine Zero9x
with yer 21.GHz CPU you'll be looking at a solid 'Medium' settings I reckon.

It's jolly noob friendly, combat is super-clicky buttons, hard to go wrong. Quests and thier locations are clearly marked on the map. X marks the spot.

I just picked it up. I should be online later today, what server are you guys on?

Also any tips for a beginner? just before i start.

EDIT: Installing it now. Which is taking awhile, because of this i checked the back of the case to find out how much it takes up. It takes up a whopping 32gb?!?! My head was blown, ive never installed a game of that size before. Its madness, the different lands must be huuuuge.

[Orgun]

We're on Dagon server, time to run home and log on Weeeeee

[Ian(not Ian)]

Aye Dagon server lads.
I've created a guild called "The Crew of the Tigress" (Belit's ship) (Belit's Crew not allowed as they wont allow ' characters, the numpties )

Orgun is now a Warchief and can invite you all, as I can (darkjinxter)

All NTSCers will be Warchiefs btw. Come and get stuck in :P

[SuperBeatBoy]

I would get online. As soon as i finished installing, its downloading the latest update. Which is taking forever. >_<

Bah, it's a big un, 600MB + what with the added patches the last couiple of days. I wish ya luck and hope to see you online this very evening.

So what kind of classes does this guild of ours require? I ordered the game today so even if my new PC isn't ready for the weekend I'll still be able to put it on the old one to get me started!

[Ian(not Ian)]

No preference on classes Pete.
The obvious usual suspects will be in demand, Tank (orgun), ranged (Mikewl), prolly not my barbarian and healers.
You'll love it whatever class you choose

[Orgun]

Make whatever you think you'll enjoy Pete The only classes we're lacking at the moment are priests/mages...actually we pretty much lack everything as there is only like 6 of us hehe

Started harvesting resources tonight, make sure you are ready for combat before you start harvesting, "Jealous prospectors" abound Scared the hell outta me.

Check out mah Kerazy Helmet hehe


Does this NPC have the stupidest face or what! I even caught him while he was blinking LOL

[Tobal]

Not been on in 2 days, thanks to combo of yesterdays patch and today being on ffxi(salvage rocks), maybe the exceitment of the big patch notes today made me stay on longer than normal. I'll try to get on tomorrow after another salvage run.

Not really looking to rush this game, from reading the forums the quest content past 50 dries up and its just a exp grind from then on in instances.

[mikewl]

There's an early screen of me and Orgun in Tortage.

I'm really curious as to how this would run on my laptop at home, I wonder if there's any kind of auto checker that you can download and run so that I can see before making the purchase...

[Ian(not Ian)]

Here's what ol' Funcom says...

Recommended configuration:
(Up to 1280X960, most features on)

*
OS: Windows XP SP 2 or Windows Vista
*
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz or equivalent
*
RAM: 2048MB Dual Channel DDR2
*
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX or equivalent
*
Video memory: 512MB
*
DVD-ROM: Quad-speed (4x) DVD-ROM drive
*
HARD DRIVE SPACE: 30GB

I'd go along with that. It compares with LotRO's requirement, so if you have ran LotRO on yer laptop and it's acceptable then AoC should be ok.
