    I'm afraid I really have no idea what this means, are you sure you're from the UK?

    Think of it this way before you get your panties in a bunch.  There is a limitted number of people they want to have durring open beta.  So as a game developer who are you going to choose?  The people who have supported your game and pre-ordered it or some random person who has not supported your game?  Given that there are almost 200k pre-orders in North America alone I think they have plenty of people for the open beta.  Open does not mean everyone gets in.  Open means they will not restrict your access because of computer specs or associations (like being apart of the press or gaming industry).  Thats what open means.  Go to Target, spend the $1 to get the pre-order there and you are in.  If you can't even spend $1 for a week of open beta go cry somewhere else.  If you don't have a Target near you everywhere else is $5 for the pre-order, still dirt cheap.

     

    jesus who put your panties in a twist. why did you have a paddy at me? who said I was crying, demanding free beta access, etc. was just asking dude.

    anyway thanks to the helpful posts.

    The exact size of the entire AoC world is 42 Km2. But that is the size of the maps. The real land you can explore is about 50% to 60% of the mapped area giving it about 10 square miles of area for the entire world.

    WoWs base world before BC were 8 to 9 times bigger.

    DaoC is 11 times bigger if you count the TOA regions only once since they are reused in each realm.

     

    I agree that aoc zones are too smalla nd restricting but comparing them to wow is stupid. wows lands are all flat with no features PERIOD. plop me in conan and I know where I am, every inch is unique.

    they need to remove invisible walls and make the entire maps explorable. but I dont want them to make vast empty wow-eqse landscapes.

• • What girls be attracted to

  • Girls? Whats girls, precious??

     

     

     

    Come on now. stop pretending you all know bollocks about girls. this is a mmorpg forum for christs sake. if you want to attract girls unplug your computer.

     

    seriously where is the "I am not a girl and do not claim to speak for them" option?
