Tell me, Aldo, if I were sitting where you're sitting, would you show me mercy?

Indeed, I can now login on the forum as well. Hopefully they enable account creation again this weekend..

You guys aren't missing much, they are fixing bugs and stabilizing server last few days since it just started so its down half the time.

Seems Account Creation has been disabled for a while. Apparently the (goon)rush was bigger than expected.

So Midgard it is, gonna play either Healer or Shaman, I usually played casters or healers, but I never liked the Midgard Casters much.

Today was bad but late US TZ has been pretty stable. They just got their new server equipment as well so that should help a lot once they get it running.

Looks like Uthgard is closing up shop to work on completing their work without any distractions and relaunching later on. :(

Only took their server completely tanking to finally come to terms with what was wrong with their server after completely ignoring that fact and continuously implementing changes to the opposite for years.

Origins main page mentions a brand new server. Server only as in machine to run the thing, or will there be a 2nd parallel server like Ywain and Mordred (but not mordred rules ofc.)

I hope and believe it will only be a single shard.

"we have to do a LOT of work before we can get our two servers working together"

To me this sounds like they want to cluster both servers, or use the new beefy one as main server and maybe the older one as a front end for other services? Don't know if they currently host their forum and frontpage on the same server as the game, but separating those would be a good thing now they have the hardware to do so.

Hopefully they'll re-open account creation before the second server goes live ;)

Do we have some sort of guildroster or such? I'm not sure what i'm going to play but it will probably a dorf healer, since that is one class I never got to play last decade.

At 50 in Mid we have:
Wrex (Me) - 50 Warrior
Tanreall - 50 Savage
Sersly - 50 Savage
A couple of other goons that were doing a healer/warrior duo. Not sure what level they're up to.
Hit any of us up and we'd be happy to get you in to the guild we're in. (and should be staying in, this time) Buris Kinder.

Healers/shamans/runies are definitely the least played in the entire realm, as you'd expect.

I used to have a "gimmick" augmentation troll shaman swinging a big hammer in the assist train. In Midgard. Yes on paper kobolds are a better choice, but they were definately the very first target the Choo choo assist train went for, to kill the End Regen buff (and other buffs) on the whole team.
Troll swinging a big hammer was definately far down the list of prime targets. I would only switch to healing mode when one of our healers was getting pummeled too much.

Server's repeatedly making GBS threads all over itself, they broke something fierce, and per the usual haven't issued a statement. They just kind of let it roll. Main zones immediately lock up after server reboots. Atleast for Mid.

I'm making a healer too but it's confusing as gently caress to level. Should I stick to the SI zone or main zone?

Just stick to main zone until you get OF groups.

Pretty much just stick to wherever you can get a full group and kill things.

Frontiers is going to be the best exp, but the mobs are like 15-20? to start.

Any suggestion on starting class for this game as Mid? I haven't played before, and I usually like tanky melee. Is this possible?

Well, hopefully this code rollback will allow the server to be stable until they get the second server up and running. Last few days have been rough :(

It takes me probably 10 attempts to get onto the server then I seem to get disconnected after about 15 minutes. I guess everyone else is having the same problem or is it my end?

It's the server. It's severely hosed at the moment. Constant reboots, zones freezing, etc. It's being worked on.

So I just started, I haven't played before so I can see how dated this game is, but I do want to like it so does anyone have any tips to make this nicer? I had the resolution up and all the menus were super small and unreadable, so I turned the resolution down. Can you not resize the map? Or make it fullscreen? Also is there any way to enable strafing while holding the right mouse button?

Maps aren't really super important in this game. They're mostly dumb maps without much interaction. Just learn to use your strafe keys. You miss melee hits if you're strafing. It's part of the combat system.

Account Registration seems to be back up.

Created an account, created a Healer on Midgard, but when pressing "play" the screen went black and back to character select. So I guess the server is down (or something like that).

Made a shaman last night and managed to get him to 13. The server seems to freeze for about 10 seconds whenever a keep changes hands, but other than that it was pretty smooth last night.

How early can you do PVP? Right from the start? Or would it be basically impossible considering how low level you might be
