I just want to steal his guild's stuff again, but there's no way they'll ally with us a second time. Are we going with a new name or is it still going to be Space Violence?

We should always have a new name, it's funny. Roman House of Tacos could be funny, or terrible. I just came up with it, we can do better.

I assume you're talking about organization; we've got a new OP being written, and plans being made to facilitate the most fun for all of our newbies coming into this. This stress test you should feel free to explore whatever you'd like to do in the game, get used to games flow, whatever really.

Alpha only. It's going to get wiped anyway. You can't get much done in two days I doubt any "good fights" will happen. I mean being a huge dick during it would be kind of silly (we will be).

He'll be back. As much of his ego as he has wrapped up in a game that isn't even released yet I don't see him giving up.

Gotta be butthurt about something. Multiboxing can be annoying I guess if you're lazy as hell like me and can't ever be bothered to take advantage of boring poo poo like that. On the other hand, "no multiple accounts from the same IP allowed ever" rules can be frustrating when you play with family or roommates. I remember years ago when I still lived at home I ended up having to buy hosting and play an Ultima Online private server through a proxy because my brother and I played the same server and it wasn't allowed.

With IPv6 its really easy to get multiple IPs too! I get 6 of them and 1 IPv4! There's also apparently places that to make the internet cheaper share IPs behind a NAT and the same IP is in use by multiple homes in an area.

We are about 12 days away from the closed beta test (CBT). Founders will be able to participate (1 or 2 days ahead of others, depending on package) in this test, which is likely to last a couple, or three, months. As far as has been intoned, this will lead straight into release (with a wipe).

If you have a some spare cash that you want to waste, get involved in this now. During the CBT it would be nice to build up some good relationships with goons that aren't too terrible and enjoy playing games based around progression.

Having a bunch of goons that understand the basic principles of the game and how the gear progression works and want to help build beginner armor/weapon sets to help the real newbies, would be pretty neat, when the game is released as free to play.

The current active goons lead by #guildleader Eonwe (it's really Suz) are putting in a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure the infrastructure is in place. If you want to grab a Founders package, read the OP, use one of the referral links (you can have mine if you ask for it) and join us for some killing of mans and eating of goats.

Thank you for reading my :effortpost: I know it wont have made a blind bit of difference in drumming up interest.

I just hope the combat rework is going to make some of the melee weapons considered useless and terrible better. I wanted to go with scythe last alpha and was told by so many people it was bad because it was nerfed into oblivion.

A quote from the October update:

"Splinter - Will there be new abilities added to the new armor sub types to allow for more varied builds or will it be the same as before and will the armor differences only be about resistances?

The combat system and the items have been entirely overhauled and reworked and you should see characteristic abilities for each armor sub-type, as well as a vast array of new ones. For example we have now a total of nine helmet abilities, compared to three in the previous Summer Alpha. Thus more and entirely new combinations are possible."

I spoke to Bercilak the other day and he said that they had scrapped all the old weapons and abilities and started again from scratch.

Bercilak hangs out in various places with various players and guilds. He's often in the unofficial official general use albion online discord server for instance. He's a lot less aloof than most game company ceos.
