I was really wanting to try this but just that it's on cryengine is pulling me away. Why use the same garbage single player engine that chris roberts is for an mmo

Is there a demo? I really want to try

Out of curiosity where is the 2000 number coming from? I keep seeing it but couldn't find any reason why.

Bought this on a whim, and had a good first 15 minutes or so on one of the queueless servers on US East. Trying to decide whether or not to try and sell the wife on it. Is this going to have any sort of player housing? Interior design is definitely her ESO endgame.

I didn't try it in the beta but yeah you can buy houses in the settlements and decorate them all up. Supposedly it'll even be visible to other players based on how much you put in compared to the other owners? IDK exactly how that works but yeah suffice to say there's houses and decorating!

A revolution of beats
Server info

I spoke with a friend who is a GM for this game. Currently, there are 2 queues for each server right now. One for new players and one for people who have made it to their first settlement.

After a server has been live for 24 hours the population cap will be doubled. This is done to spread out the population.


I am loving the game. My aussie group donated every gold we made to the company and bought Winward in around 3 hours. The game has run smooth as butter so far.

Territory control and influence is also handled via PvP missions and stopping your opponents from finishing their PvP missions. Can't really do that if you're in different shards.

This is the theory, but even in the two weeks of beta it did not bear out in practice. No.

So, uh, I was looking forward to this but have been working all day and won’t be able to log on until late tonight or tomorrow.

My friends in another discord are already complaining that the people who got in early already have a huge advantage, bought all the good poo poo out the gate, and are just roaming in packs pubstomping everyone whose just logging in already.

Is that actually happening or are they being way overly dramatic.

I mean it's a billionaire's mmo and they're using a single player engine for it.

Don't lose internet for even a few seconds while waiting in the queue. It'll kick you out and restart your queue. Lol

The average wait to get into Royllo right now is about 2 hours. Amazing.

I joined the queue at 630 EST. It’s now 850 EST. In those 2 hours I went from 1500 to 715. The time to get in is closer to 4-5 hours. This is WoW at launch levels of bad and it’s completely self-imposed.

I saw the extremely low population cap announced before launch and thought it was a joke/would certainly be changed. Why is there a 2k person cap on each server?

Yeah, I didn't complain. I got in early, got an invite to the company, and left for lunch because I work for a living. Came back and got in the queue for 5 hours and I was kicked from the company. No explanation. Just how it is according to discord chat.

If you want to play with good people play FF14 or ESO. I'd advise against the Tesla of MMOs

The company limit is 100 so the leader has been kicking people who have been logged off for 7-8hrs to invite people who are logged in. Not sure how that is a good idea at all. But also not sure how you handle such low company limits... are there alliances?
