@merrua Just out of curiosity, why would you rather play with mainland Europeans than people in the UK?

I don’t see Ireland on the list. I hope they didn’t get our rights when they bought the UK rights (which weirdly some companys succeed in getting).

It’s actually a cracking little game, with good skillful fast combat and a good gear/ skill design philosophy. I also personally love the art style… Very atmospheric and immersive to me, which is helped by a great score. Worth a go, considering the download is free and you get to play until L7. Bugs me I havent been able to progress further tho due to the fact I am playing on EU servers via proxy (I am in Accliam land) as a pre launch trial and don’t wanna buy a full account. Definitly worth a go though.

They added the other countries to Acclaim territory maybe 3 weeks ago I think. They could not get into the running Frogster/Mindscape version anyway, only 11 countries are “allowed”. And of those 11 countires there are I think at least 4 countries were the game cannot be bought in the stores.

Assuming Acclaim gets its act together and open up the game for play there will potentially be more players that can access those servers given the number of countries that Acclaim is responsible for.
It may end up with people from the original 11 countries here in Europe trying to bypass the IP block to get to Acclaim servers, if that is were most English-speaking people will be. I will certainly consider that when the time comes.

But preferably I would see that they get rid of that stupid IP block entirely.

As for the patch:

The intro movie sequence is neat: when you create a new character where you fly in from the shard ship docks in Hawksmounth, through the forests and into the city, stopping at your character at the town square.

Some of the fixes here were certainly welcome; I have been hit with the double PeP loss although I did not even die before it crashed.
