    Honored to be a part of this! SoTA R3 was the best Alpha I've ever played (of anything), I had fun hanging out with the Devs and our awesome community!

    Darkstarr,

    Although he (she) is now just a child, please remember that the child has to grow up fast! Its not fair but life is rarely fair. May need to skip all the tween stuff and jump straight to being a teenager pretty quickly!

    Would be interesting to see a list of features how "complete" you guys consider them; maybe give us a glimpse into the future that way.

    I'm not sure he played R3. That was NotChrisSpears down at the dock.

    he's two steps lower on the steps (with one foot clipping through the stairs, so I smell a bug report).

    *giggles* Oopsie, that character named "Not ChrisSpears" was actually ME! (That is, if you are referring to the screenshot I posted in this thread.) Bahaha. Chris' name was "Chris Thedev" in R3.

    What impressed me most was that there was an actual fun factor in a pre-alpha release 3. To feel a tangible connection to a game this early, the Darkstarr analogy being spot on, was intriguing. Perhaps it's the UO connection. Perhaps it's the game itself.

    Hey there Se'an! Nice to see you here too! (I'm CescoAiel on UOF)
    Perhaps a bit of both, with a great community as 3rd factor?...

    Nay, Lass! It was your haunting vocals that provided the stirring passions of musical artistry to which my ears perked up and took notice!

    It's too bad that I haven't been able to play since release 1. The last two have not been working for me in Windows or Linux and I don't know why. I can play my other games just fine, even some shooters on Steam. Horrible lag on both clients and I wasn't able to do anything but just give up. Sucks, since I've been paying a lot of money and haven't even been able to see the game. Glad you all had fun though. When release 4 comes out, I'm gonna need someone to help me if it isn't working either.

    I have a decent gaming rig and I had some serious lag/performance issues in R3. I think that is why they're prioritizing fixing client performance and pushing a lot of the combat features back to R5.

    I think most of the development in the R2/R3 phase was getting the server backend ready for multiplayer, and now the client is going to get some love.

    They've said they think they've identified the reason of the lag, and it wasn't serverside, as those didn't even break a sweat!...

    Let's hope they're right!

    I have a 6core CPU at 3.6GHz and a GTX 650 Ti card and was stuttering and glitching at times!...
