How would that be possible then? sure the servers have been online for some time for a very restricted group of people. But until they're available to many people and the game is actually popular, people won't begin to figure out what the packets does and what calls are expected when.
Creating a server for a game of which you don't have the source code is a thing of trial and error and it takes a very long time and a lot of effort.
In short: No |

Yeah I tried the stress test & there were moments before they stressed it that it ran really smooth. Got about 10 min of gameplay out of it spent alot of time customizing different characters which is alot of fun. I got my key for open beta so i'm looking forward to that & I pre ordered the collectors edition a while back.

There is a lot of debate on the official forums about whether this game is going to be 'instanced' like guild wars. Apparently, its not instanced, but the major outdoor areas are 'zoned.' So after too many players enter the zone, a duplicate zone is created. How will this affect PvP? You could have people chasing gankers around through different zones. Lame.

Well, first I didn't say "I KNOW THIS IS THE WAY IT IS." I said 'apparently' from the debate that I have seen on the official forums.
This is really disappointing. How do you know its instanced as hell? Beta? Here an official dev claims that some areas are not instanced: http://forums.tentonhammer.com/showthread.php?t=25636

yeah im in the beta and have been some for a good time, and i can tell you currently every zone is instanced i have no clue tho at what number of people in a zone opens another one, but i havent seen alot of peeps online even tho its been primetime so it feels like a quite LOW number required to open another instance

I am becoming disillusioned with this game very fast. How does this 'zoning' affect pvp? That was what got me interested in the game in the first place. The pvp was supposed to be hardcore. You could gank anyone at any time, even of the same race. However, these zones could screw everything up. Gankers could just run and hide in a new zone, and you would have people chasing each other around through these zones...
P.S. why the hell is the game 25 gigs? Is the world really that large or are there a ton of HD movies?

yeah well you are correct if someone is griefing you you can just change instance and stay in the zone, and ciúrrently the ffa server is PANTS cause you will get fuckin spawn camped 24/7 by peeps 20 levels above you. the game is about 21-22 gigs with compressed DB but thats with uncompressed textures we have been promised a 15gb launch client

Well if its possible to camp someone, then the zoning/instancing might not affect pvp in the way that I thought. I was under the impression that camping was impossible because the poor sap who was being camped could just re-zone. Personally, I like the idea of being able to camp someone's corpse.
15gig download? or a smaller dl that expands into 15 gigs?

well of course he can change instance IF theres enough people around to have 2 instances open, if there arent he cant start a new
its prolly gonna be smaller than 15 and expand to 15, but then theres gonna be a patch and i really think its gonna be in the 500ish mb rangecause the game is broken as fuck right now and teh client went gold last week

Guys no point in speculating till you actually play the game for yourselves & make your own opinion of the game.

I've been in beta for a while and don't disagree with what asscobra says.
Too heavily instanced, especially the first 20 levels, but gets better after. The fact you will never get all the population in one place at one time sucks tho
Still the best MMO since wow in my opinion, but would only give it 8.5.
Also don't like the way UK players will have to pay more to play..

people bitch about "too instanced" probably never played outside the starter island. Which btw is/was supposed to be singleplayer (and free).
when i read through all this garbage , its "play 5 minutes, uninstall, rant and bitch without being the least informed ..."
i rather try the game myself ... in a couple months ...
