[flumpy]

I was lucky enough to play in the closed beta for 4 or 5 months, (im in the uk) and im waiting now for the europe open beta to come up this week sometime so i can play again (evil forced servers)

I have loads of screenies from it, if u want a look let me know and i will post some.

I played the Closed Beta for a while, but I don't think I'm going to buy it. It's an amazing game, but I just don't have the time to play it and I don't want to deal with all the people I knew from Knight Online that will be playing it.

I'm thinking about running it, but to any of you who are already playing the game; will my 600 mhz run it? Video and the rest is no problem, my ram and card are maxed out as far as the motherboard can take.

Its usually more a case of your internet speed, ping, and packet loss.

Don't forget pocket.
I would have it by now if it wasn't for those dang monthly payments.

It would, but rather slowly, I think. It would definitely be better to update it -- 600 Mhz isn't really today's average (but that would mean upgrading nearly everything, which is... pricy ).

(The main bottleneck for me is my FX5700 graphics card... it sometimes slows to 5 fps when flying on a gryphon for a couple of seconds. More RAM would be good as well, though. A 2.8 Ghz CPU doesn't seem to be a problem -- but I'm not sure as to how that scales down)

(It's SO pretty )

I heard it was a decent game if you dont mind the PVP or the fast leveling.
And I do like the way the game looks.. very colorful.
But I prefer EQ2 right now.
