Learn More: Mortal Online

[Uzik]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortal_Online


It has a pretty awesome wiki summarizing all the info.

I was interested to find out that the skill system is a combination of 3 things.


Active: Doing shit in game
Passive: Training shit regardless of in game (think EVE)
Deva: Some weird shit that links all characters on an account (Sounds like you get it from quests and shit)

[Capricious]

plant, imo.

"Full loot - Upon death, your corpse will be fully lootable. In order to retrieve your items, you must return to your corpse after resurrecting and loot your own corpse, provided no one else has done so already. However, looting innocent players will temporarily flag you as a criminal."


HMMM, i dunno how i feel about that. At first i was like "a full loot game that punishes you for looting?!" but now i think about it more it seems kinda cool. If you're already a murderer or what ever you wont give a damn and if you were the guy who killed the "innocent" then i suppose you would have to be, but it means less random vultures will loot rape your corpse. If you find a random corpse with no one around then you can still casually walk up to it and loot it., preferably whistling while you do it.

5 Mins after the player / mob has been killed it is it then a free for all, coming back to life is ment to be a big thing I guess, with an after life and all, so it would normally take longer than 5min.

[Cocer]

This game seem pretty cool... Atleast worth a try, I mean it can't be much worse than niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger, and even niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger was fun for a while... RIGHT?!?! :guns:

This is not a new concept. Classic UO.

so when can i play shit shit?

- Apparently there is a grind, in Mortal Online, just like there was, in niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger, except that in Mortal Online, the grind is unimportant, except for identifying items and suchlike, eg. Grinding tghe sword skill, does not increase the sword damage, but instead, increases your ability to identify more powerful swords; although you cna still use those more powerful swords, from the start.

That's a step in the right direction, I believe, to eliminate the pain of the grind, but still give long term players some sense of achievement.

You can always circumvent the identification process, by asking someone with a high skill level, to identify an item for you, although I bet that could get really fucking annoying.

[Uzik]

so when can i play shit shit?


Pre-order for beta is this weekend.


I think myself and a few other Anvils will try that and report back.

[Shaggy]

I guess they already planning for a dos attack. Lol, but yeah only people really planning to play should pre-order, seeing as you can't cancel, which should keep the server stable, everyone and there mom ordering for beta and going to cancel later.

[niccoli]

Yeah, pre-order = full amount, however much that is. Have they said yet? Or are they "waiting to tell us"?

[Thatcher]

Fuck it, im getting it. I havent bought anything in a while, and it cant be worse than DF.

[Capricious]

Fuck it, im getting it. I havent bought anything in a while, and it cant be worse than DF.

It may be, don't buy it.

[Thatcher]

They could mail me a MO box with a turd in it and it would still be better than DF.

[Capricious]

I'm in beta, you should trust me.

[Shaggy]

Yeah, pre-order = full amount, however much that is. Have they said yet? Or are they "waiting to tell us"?

I'm going to guess 50-60 USD, the 35-40 Euro conversion, first month free like allways, and beta players are getting anywhere from 1-3 months free depending when they get in.

[Durin]

I'm in beta, you should trust me.

But I like wasting my money on unplayable games...



Srsly I'm totally buying this shit! You cant stop me with your sage advice and first hand experience.

[Uzik]

It may be, don't buy it.
Since when are you in MO beta?


Fraps now mother fucker!

This is why I will most likely pick it up. Will depend on how fucked up things seem when they announce pricing. I don't like last minute shit like this.

It's this much, hurry and buy before they are gone! ACT NOW!

Speaking of last minute, have they said when on the 26th? Or anything else for that matter?

Is the 29th.

They said they will open shit up before then, so I would expect it this weekend.

[Atnas]

I'm in beta, you should trust me.

We can't because you're not saying anything!

[Omley Boozebeard]

Yes this is first i have heard about anyone in Anvil being in beta. Why didn't you say you mega-slag.

[Rains Torme]

He did in one of the other threads.

[Atnas]

All he's saying is "Don't get it" and that's all, which isn't nearly enough for me not to get it.

[Rains Torme]

It's your money, Atnas. Unless the thing turns out to be incredible I'm not going to bother even thinking about it.

[Thatcher]

he's trolling

[Savant]

never pay for a beta.

it went south with dark and light and people were just as hyped for that game as they are for Mortal.

you gullible bastards voted for Hubert Humphrey, and you killed JESUS!

[Durin]

and you killed JESUS!

hey, that jew had it comin!


on topic, I find that the best way to help the gaming industry is to just throw money at shitty products and saturate the market. Reinforcing the conclusion that people don't know what they want and should all be exterminated Independence Day style.

[Atnas]

Damn right it is my money and it is going to honest, open swedish developers that probably wont be able to deliver on my crushed dreams but I'll be damned if I wont feed them my money. EAT IT.

[Omley Boozebeard]

Well considering he thinks the fact it wont have territory control and sieging at launch makes it an epic fail, he is going to have to say alot more than just "don't get it cause i say so".

[Capricious]

Believe me or dont. Still doesn't change the fact that I wont be sinking any money into it.

[Omley Boozebeard]

quit being fecking useless and tell us whats wrong with it.

[MrBlah]

Believe me or dont. Still doesn't change the fact that I wont be sinking any money into it.

its also 3-4 months from release... so wtf? we all sank money into niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger that wasnt even ready when it was released. We all knew it, and yet we still bought it and played for as long as this semi-public-open-beta is going to be. Regardless of how shitty it is right now, you apparently dont think what you are currently playing has the slightest chance of ever getting better.

SO! STFU or give me detailed reasoning for your actions.

[Rougie]

we all sank money into niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger that wasnt even ready when it was released. We all knew it, and yet we still bought it and played

- How much could it possibly be, anyway - £30-50 or so? People need to stop being so Jewish with their money, or stop spending it all, on dirty hookers :yank:

Hell, I probably only have £50 in the bank, for food this week, but you don't see me going around whining about the cost of Mortal Online.

[Kietharr]

Buy your copies, if the game sucks too badly before release sell them to some other chump, if they run out you might even mark them up 5-10 bucks and make a marginal profit.

[Villa]

OK, so how do you pre-order it then?

[Atnas]

On the 29th it will open up.

[Omley Boozebeard]

OK, so how do you pre-order it then?

I heard that due to it being so immersive and RP that you will have to wait for a dark figure with a horse drawn wagon to pull up in town and exchange it for either gold or other valuable commodities.

[Kietharr]

newsflash: Shop opening delayed two weeks from the original date. They realized that they wouldn't be completely prepared for the huge influx of traffic and different payment methods at that time and, get this, actually delayed the game in order to improve it. Should open on July 13th.

[Gromit]

I bet that has nothing to do with the niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger update, which no doubt has created a zerg of unhappy yanks arrive at MO's doorstep.

[Rains Torme]

Despite my negativity, I'm starting to get optimistic about Mortal again. At least the devs aren't idiots like Aventurine.

[Atnas]

The 13th? Aw man. Doesn't sound good they couldn't do it in time, but at least they aren't being assholes about it.

Nice to see they don't want to take any chances though, they cannot have avoided DFs release.

[ocoma]

If anyone really is in the beta atm and not likeing it I'm not to worried about that. The first round DF beta testers agreed that the earliest beta builds were complete crap but that especially after 1 particular new build the game was alot better(even if still crappy). Point is thats what beta is for. If the core is solid HOPEFULLY the gameplay will come around(DF to date has failed to do so, though it could). :yank:

However any of you fuckers who do get in beta sure as shiet better make new member accounts here so that you can post up beta leaks and keep us updated and Surly can ban that account for leaking beta infos!!!! :cuss:

[Capricious]

Ideally, not much should change from beta to release. If your product undergoes massive changes during "beta testing", it wasnt really in the beta stages.

Bug fixes, usability changes, etc.. = expected.

Non-implemented functions, new development = bad sign.


niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger was an example of the latter, and MO isn't too far off.

[Gromit]

niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger was never a paid beta. I don't know what you call the internal beta testing phase, possibly the artists showing their mothers the models they made in 3DSMax phase.

niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger was a Paid Alpha.

[Kietharr]

will always be a paid alpha.

[Surly]

it's just scamware, why make up new terms?

[Gromit]

is a Paid Alpha?

Alpha is the phase before Beta.

Alpha is clearly unfinished, completely unpolished and full of bugs.

That's niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger then.

Well i still don't pay attention to anything you say since you called it an epic fail just for not having territory control at launch.

"Huge influx of traffic", aka. niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger refugees :D

[Kietharr]

I really like the fact that they actually delayed sales when they realized that the traffic would be too much for them to handle. It'll probably be a clusterfuck of unimagined proportions though so the servers will still probably crash, but I like the gesture!

[Goobles]

I bet some that get in the beta will get sick as shit of it by the time it releases and wont play with the others

[arcturussage]

starting to read some of the alpha combat review shit. I like this part


At the moment, I see no reason to choose anything other than the tallest height, as the benefits gained from having a large character greatly outweigh the benefits of choosing a smaller character. Henrik has explained, however, that this is only because attribute points have not yet been unlocked. Increasing your character size will cost attribute points that could be used to increase your dexterity, for example. In addition, you will be able to create a smaller than normal size character to gain more than the default attribute points, which allows for even more variability when creating your character.

I say we make a bunch of 3 foot tall characters

[Omley Boozebeard]

I don't remember being able to choose your height outside of the race system or being larger giving you more health but less points to spend in other attributes. Infact didn't dwarves have the most HP?

[slugys]

cap, is the game anything like AoC?

[Capricious]

Yes, the combat is most similar to AoC. However, its in a poor state - ie: shitty hit detection and fucked up timing.


P.S: I AM A GIANT niggerniggerniggerniggernigger JEW FAGGOT WHO LOVES TO TROLL

No, that didn't happen, I just thought it sounded a bit similar to the niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger Promises.

[Omley Boozebeard]

at least things like that can be worked and improved on fairly easliy. niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger just fucked it up by getting the entire core of the game design wrong. Technical issues don't worry me so much.

This is fun, because that would mean that once your card had to be renewed you wouldn't be able to play the game ever again. I have to get a new card 09/09.
I sure hope I won't have linked my card to MO by then!

That depends on your card number and the code on the back. They are interlinked in some way.
Can you tell us what your details are, so I can prove the correlation between them?

and then in about 2 years when everyones CCs expire, they will lose all their business just like that.

I can foresee niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger 2.0 coming, just epic failures in other departments.

I can't get enough of these retards. Regardless of MO's awesomeness or even its playability, there is great potential. Every time I browse through the forums there's some topic about about housing. So many of them are beyond obsessed with their pixels to be, its hilarious. I don't care if it takes me a week strait grinding to get a siege engine made, I'm going to track down these kiddies houses and tear them to the ground. Oh how the tears will flow!

I'm of the idea that I will just buy a gift card type of CC with something generic for a name, pay with that, than if I do not like MO I'll sell the Gift Card that may or may not happen to coincidentally be linked to a MO beta account.

If those MO fucks do not allow payment by pre-paid cards than I'm not going to bother with the beta.

[Goobles]

Well I mean it's beta anyway. I like anyone else get bored of games, might as well wait till release so I don't burn myself out on something that gets reset anyway.

Plus this way I can hear what everyone hates about it beforehand and all that good stuff.

[Omley Boozebeard]

I probably wont pre order anymore, due to the fact i have no money :(

[Atnas]

I will be able to pre-order it on the 15th when I get my salary! Hopefully it wont have been sold out by then.

impossible, atnas will just keep eating the kisses as he tries to continue writing uzik, he'll try to moderate himself, putting two down then eating one, but right as he dots the i he'll lose all control and eat all of the chocolate. then he will begin to cry as he realizes his moment of weakness cost him sweet MO betacake. he will mourn his loss by eating more chocolates.

I will buy both you and Atnas copies if:

of corse he will buy it... he cant chance me having something he cant get.

Atnas takes a topless picture of himself, titties covered in chocolate, Uzik spelled out in Hershey's kisses on his belly.

Spinewire takes a photo of him in an American Flag speedo, with "UZIK RULES" written in Red, White and Blue on his chest.

Also, I want to get little pewter dice, but can't find any for less than $20 per a dice, which is fucking ridiculous since you can get mass produced pewter detailed figurines for $2-$6.
I want to put some pewter things in someone's beer or wine cup and see them puke all over the place, and what better way to say you accidentally dropped it than if it was in dice form and your a known geek?

Also, metal dice are cool.

Yes well, their goal is to sell 10000 copies.

However, if they do sell that many they have promised to set up another server before launch and release another 10000 copies.

But only the 10000 first to preorder will get into beta (which will be up for months)

I have faith in these guys... At least they speak and care what their fans says. And they live in the same country as me, so if they fuck up I can just go to their office and smack them.

I will pre-order because it can not be any worse than blowing cash on a console game. Gears of War II was the worst i spent money on. Great game sure, but i freaking finished it in two days.

Even if I were to only get two months out of the game at release, its still on par with the rest of the crap.

The Mortal Online shop will open on Monday 13th of July 20:00 GMT+1
We have separated the initial shop page from the Mortal Online main site for better performance. On Monday you can go directly to the shop on www.account.mortalonline.com (http://www.account.mortalonline.com/) should the main site be slow or unresponsive. Save the link and keep it in handy.

On Monday before the shop opens we will post more information about the first beta phase as well as the current system requirements for Mortal Online.
Hope to see you on Monday!

I'm sick of doing my own laundry

[Villa]

I don't understand the thing about a bag and limited edition copies and so forth?

[Jolle Poker]

I don't understand the thing about a bag and limited edition copies and so forth?

They had a "mortal for life" limited edition bag with free play time for life up on ebay some time ago, it sold for some $5000 or something like that. There was only one of these though so you can't get this now.

Then we have the limited edition, which basically is the same thing but without the life time free play thing (it includes some small figurines, a nice bag and some other stuff). 999 of these exists and those who buy this has a safe spot in the first beta phase (A).

Box edition is basically what you would've got if you bought the game in your local store (CD, box, perhaps a manual). You will also be able to download the game from their web if you buy this so there really isn't any point in buying this other than getting a early spot in the beta (or if you want to put your dick in the box). Also you probably have to pay around $10 extra for shipping.

Digital download is the same as you bought when you bought niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger, but they'll sell this at a later date after they've sold all LE and some box versions. Which means these will get a later spot in the beta, if they get into beta at all.

The earlier you buy the game, the earlier you get into beta.

[arcturussage]

wait, they aren't selling the digital download right away?

[Helgeran]

Lifetime means lifetime of the game, lol.

[Jolle Poker]

wait, they aren't selling the digital download right away?

From what I've heard, no.

[Omley Boozebeard]

I didn't know you couldn't buy dd straight away. And from what i have read you only gotta pay postage if you are buying from the states but it may just have been that the post I read was specifically directed at someone from the states (i swear i read it somewhere on the website too though).

[arcturussage]

if you go to the store page, the DD says it comes with beta access. So I'm guessing it still counts unless there is a new post saying otherwise

I don't understand; are you saying the boxed version will be available to buy in stores while the game is still in beta?

[Jolle Poker]

I don't understand; are you saying the boxed version will be available to buy in stores while the game is still in beta?

No, I said if you preorder the box version (which will arrive at your doorstep sometime in August), you'll get the same content as if you would've bought any other game in a store.

That is:

Box
CD
CD/Activation-KEY (probably)

And perhaps a manual.

Also, you get 1 month free (of the non-beta) with whichever version you buy.

The box version will probably never be available in stores (for a long time at least).

[Jolle Poker]

if you go to the store page, the DD says it comes with beta access. So I'm guessing it still counts unless there is a new post saying otherwise

Only if they sell less than 10000 box version, since there's only 10000 spots in beta (Or maybe it's 8000, I don't really know).

I read just now that you'll be able to buy the DD a week after the others been on sale.

I think the postage is for all countries (even Sweden).

[Omley Boozebeard]

http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/15603-all-beta-info-you-need.html

well that says that the box'ed and DD will be available at the same time. Seems kinda odd to sticky it if its wrong. Where did you get your information from? And it says it will be about $10 shipping to US so i guess it will be cheaper for europeans?

Oh never mind it says further down the DD will be a week later. My bad.

[Omley Boozebeard]

Yes, you can definitely block arrows with your shield, but it does require a bit of skill. It is also possible to block arrows with your sword (as it's a mesh that is included in the calculations of the arrow) but you have to be very lucky. Or extremely skilled, and lucky http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

I demand somone forms a Jedi sub clan whos sole purpose is to practise and master deflecting arrows with their sword (they would wear robes too). The enemy would be so dumbfounded by the pure awesomeness of it that the rest of our force could simply march in and slaughter them as they gawp or possibly their heads would just explode with disbelief.

So they uploaded the shop to their game server, which means it will have massive backup (if you try refresh it now, you get the error message instantly, before you had to wait around 20 secs).

The Mortal Online Game Store is opening anytime now. This update targets some of the questions regarding the release, the shop, and the Beta. It is also a disclaimer to protect both you and ourselves. We want you to join our Beta and support the development of the game, but we also want you to know what you are up for!


Shop and Game Version information

Mortal Online will be sold in 10.000 copies to start with. This is because we want to be able to better control the Beta-phase by administering only one (or two) servers.


Prices will be stated in the shop. They are subject to change.

The shop will accept American Express, JCB, Mastercard, Visa, Visa Electron, Direct Debits (in Germanym Netherlands, Spain and Austria), EPS Austria (Austria), Giropay, ING Homepay (Belgium) Paypal, Ukash, Wallie, iDeal (Netherlands), Paysafecard, Sofortuberweisung (Germany, Austria, Switzerland.


Only one (1) purchase is allowed per account. You are free to register several accounts. Please remember though, that if a credit card is used more than 5 times in the same week for the same payment, the banks Fraud scanning will ban the card for 2 weeks. The details of this vary between cards and should be checked with the bank issuing the card. It has nothing to do with the MO shop.


Important! When you enter the shop, you will see the prices and have the option to choose one of the versions. When clicking “checkout”, that version will be temporarily “reserved” for you for a couple of hours. As you may only buy one version per account, this means that you cannot go back and choose another version during those hours. This is a technical safety-line; if something goes wrong during your purchase you still have some time to get everything right, but it also means it’s important that you choose the right version from start.

Please remember that you are not buying anything until you fill in your payment options. If you choose one version and then change your mind before paying, you don’t have to buy it. It simply means you cannot change to another version during this time.


The monthly subscription cost of Mortal Online will be €14.25 for Europeans and $14.25 for everybody else. This cost is subject to change.

The monthly subscription cost includes all future updates and expansions for Mortal Online. No additional costs will be charged for future expansions.

The Beta server is located in Stockholm, Sweden. It's fully possible to access the server from all countries; however we obviously can't guarantee the speed and performance over long distances. Earlier Beta-testing has shown good, playable ping from the U.S. for instance, but please remember that the speed of your local network provider in U.S. is an important factor as well.

Additional game servers, including servers in other countries, are considered for the near future. There will be no extra costs involved in starting a character on one of those servers if and when they are up. However, character transfers will not be possible, at least not to begin with, not even between servers in the same country. This has to do with each server and character lore being unique - i.e. your character obviously cannot have slain a certain Dragon if the Dragon never existed on the other server.

The Beta is divided into Blocks of 2.000 players each, depending on buying-order. Every second week 2.000 additional players will be able to enter the Beta. The full schedule is as follows:

July 20 Block A (including 999 Limited Editions)
August 3 Block B
August 17 Block C
August 31 Block D
September 14 Block E


The Digital Download only version will go on sale a week later than the Boxed Version and The Full Loot Bag as previously stated in the shop. This is because we hope to sell the physical products first, as they are a big cost to us if they sit on our shelves.

Shipping is not included in the price for the physical products. Shipping will be an additional €7 (flat rate for all countries).

The physical products will be shipped from Sweden around September. Further updates before the launch of the full game will be shipped free of charge in connection to the launch. When buying a physical version you are also allowed to download the game, and play it in your corresponding Beta block.

The launch of Mortal Online is planned for Q4 2009 (Oct-Dec). This is not set in stone however, as we want all core features to be in place and properly tested before charging monthly subscriptions. We do not guarantee a specific release date for Mortal Online.

At this point Mortal Online is M rated 18+, a final rating will come closer to release but is very likely to be the same.

MO System Requirements (an estimation)

Please note that all options and scaling are not yet in the game, meaning the requirements will change over time.

Minimum configuration (1024x768, detail reduced)
OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz or equivalent
RAM: 1GB
Video card: ATI Radeon 9800/nVidia GeForce 6600
Video memory 256MB
Hard drive space: 5-25GB

Recommended configuration (1680x1050)
OS: Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz or equivalent
RAM: 2048MB Dual Channel DDR2
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or equivalent
Video memory: 512MB
Hard drive space: 30GB


Beta testing and gameplay

The Beta is starting July 20 with the features from Combat Beta active, as well as a few new ones. The very first steps have to do with architecture, back-end and network-performance. To begin with, we are aiming to test:

MO Updater (auto-patching system)
Account System, Login, Logout
Character Creation (The “human family” only, like Tindremenes, Khurites etc, male and female)
General Network and Server stability and speed
Crowd congestion tests
Seamless World-streaming
Updated Prediction System
Sound
Client System Performance

This is not very fun from a gameplay-perspective, although crucial from a technical standpoint. To make you run around in the world and have some feeling of purpose in this crude beginning, we are also testing:

Attribute balancing, basic Skill gain (a few example skills)
Further real time PvP, Melee and Archery Combat testing and balancing
"Vendor-crafting" (you bring resources to a vendor, who then crafts stuff for you according to your instructions, like in Combat Beta). The Skills and GUI (Graphical User Interface) for the "real" crafting is still in development
Very basic resource-gathering (refining, prospecting etc will be in together with crafting later on, meaning at the moment you will get magically pre-refined resources when mining, etc)

Fundamental AI-behavior, a few creatures
World traversing, Swimming and Combat Swimming
Around 32km^2 of the Myrland continent
Basic banking (global at first, local if we manage to get it in before this weekend)
Local chat (no languages)
The Flagging System (complete with temporary insta-guards in guard zones)

That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. These first important steps will be the foundation of the game, and updates will come quickly and at a regular basis once we are confident most of the above is working in the new massive environment.

Please also remember that both your possessions and your Characters can be wiped from the server at any moment, and that this may happen several times during the Beta.

You're in for a rough ride, but we are excited for those of you who want to embark on this journey with us!

Nah, not really... These guys actually had a valid reason. And they speak with the forums/irc with constant updates.

Not niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger.

[Riddle]

Store opening within the hour.

[Omley Boozebeard]

Are you guys in the irc? Not you jolle, you don't count because anime makes me throw up.

[brezick]

When clicking “checkout”, that version will be temporarily “reserved” for you for a couple of hours

This is one of the benefits of seeing niggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggerniggernigger crash and burn. So no anxiety attacks for the idiots cry about crashing or timing out.

i think i keep getting disconnected. fuck it... it was boring me anyways :(

I'd almost forgotten about this.

Still no pricing. Seriously, why. That update should have included it, so you could make a slightly more informed decision.

Then the store isn't up yet?? Sure, valid reason, uh huh. Curious to hear what the "valid reason" is. EDIT: I went back and time I saw the reason, meh.

Also, who all is going to actually buy this?

I will (depending on price).

[brezick]

I am going to preorder. I am responsible for administrating the IT security at my job so I actually enjoy beta testing and finding exploits/holes in the code.

[Omley Boozebeard]

I'm very sorry to keep you waiting. Things are crazy here, really. Feel free to blame us, because ultimately it is our fault, butwe have one of the best services available in Europe. At least, that was what we payed for We'd been toast if it wasn't for our Game Hostingprovider who came to the rescue, realizing our need and offering their help for free! Love to you guys.

I wont go into the bandwidth issues or the numerous "attacks" from a certain site (they actually managed to stir up some realtrouble, which we naïvely didn't excpect). The shop will be online any minute now (really).

All in all, we will get the shop running tonight, no matter how many people press F5 at the same time. Refresh the main siteonce in a while. When you see the big sign in the middle (Enter the shop Now!), it's time.

Thank you for your patience.


I dunno but I just think these guys handle their PR so much better than AV. I feel sorry for them instead of thinking that they are huge fallaces.

[losinglife]

lol at AV crashing thre site :guns:
