What's that about then? Ok, well read this then. My Prince Of Persia - The Sands Of Time review. http://stri.no-ip.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=176  Signaturewww.stri.tk "Ahh! Something's got me!"

Yep, another import copy. >I've just read a review by Eurogamer. I'm sold. I'll be speaking to you >in game soon (hopefully) Okay, a couple of things first. Here's the official site, http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/index.shtml You don't get too choose your server when you create your character. The game automatically selects one for you (to avoid some servers overcrowding). To end up on the same server as a friend, said friend will have to buy an in-game world pass (basically an invitation) and send you an access code. You then use this code when you create your character. Myself and a bunch of others from the GameSpy forums are all on the Unicorn server (around San D'Oria), so if you're interested, let me know when you have the game and I'll get a world pass for you. The game itself and the PlayOnline interface are insanely polished and the graphics are gorgeous. The servers are in Japan, I'm in Sweden (no, not Norway) on a low-end ADSL connection and despite this, the game is smooth and lag-free. No obvious bugs, shitloads of content, an actual storyline (that feels like a proper single-player game), cutscenes, and friendly players. It's big bugger, though, 5+ gigs, but well worth it. ----- Anders "Roshin" Simonsson http://hemsida.semera.se/xav2557 "Beware the past. Fight the present. Fear the future."

Ok, I'll be back in touch when I get the game. > The game itself and the PlayOnline interface are insanely polished and > the graphics are gorgeous. Yeah the review did mention that. Strange and significant that they should mention that considering it's not actually part of the game but a method of connecting to it. > The servers are in Japan, I'm in Sweden > (no, not Norway) I wasn't going to say a thing. > on a low-end ADSL connection and despite this, the > game is smooth and lag-free. Well I was playing SWG on an East-coast American server with little ill effects which didn't surprise me. However I remember trying to connect to quite a few Asian servers when playing counter-strike and it was unplayable. However RPG is often more strategy than reactions and reflects that to an extent. > No obvious bugs, shitloads of content, an > actual storyline (that feels like a proper single-player game), > cutscenes, and friendly players. I think one of the turning points in me buying it was one of the turning points in you ending your play of Star Wars Galaxies, namely the lack of actual 'missions' to go on. I tried to look beyond it naively and only accepted I was wrong when you quit the game. It's a crafters game ultimately. Mind, my mate George plays a crafting class and I think he's getting sick of it now. I might bring up FFXI with him. > It's big bugger, though, 5+ gigs, but well worth it. Well that's hardly a problem is it? After all I remember being impressed when I first saw a game spread across two floppy disks on the Amiga or having turn the cassette over on the spect...

Ah, the good old days. Ah ha... you used to have a spect... too did ya!!? Join the club. ;-) Dunno about the good old days bit tho...can't remember HL on the Amiga/spect.../c64 et al ;-) I mean what's good about anything that can't play HL? But Civilisation was good on the Amiga... first game (of three) I ever finished! Oh wait..make that four... it's just come flooding back that I completed Kings's Quest on something or other. ;-) rat proclaimed... > Ah ha... you used to have a spect... too did ya!!? Join the club. ;-) First computer for me. I went from 128 to 48k. Oddly. I had simple consoles like the Atari before that but Spectrum is where it began. Or more probably the Amiga. > Dunno about the good old days bit tho...can't remember HL on the > Amiga/spect.../c64 et al ;-) I mean what's good about anything that can't > play HL? Yes.

Join the club. ;-) I still have a speccy. It's up in the attic, a zx-81. I tried it out last year, and it still works great, jetpac and all :) It left me wondering why they had to go and make joypads so damn confusing :) It also reminded me about load times tho....
