Is this going to be as good as Skyrim, but multiplayer?

We can only hope. Otherwise, it's just yet another fantasy MMO in a market they've glutted.

So, lets hope!

[Arsenault 1st MRB]

The Beta is now open guys!

Sign-up here!

[Viktor]

Ill let you all know how it's like after the weekend.

[Marsden 1st MRB]

Didn't say anything new on there from when I went on months ago. more developer content but that's it T.T I needs beta access!

[Marsden 1st MRB]

I have come to the decision that I shall be playing as an Aielman. Tall red/blonde hair, only kills with their faces veiled and will not ever touch a sword or they have dishonored themselves and have toh to all other Aiel. Who's with me? Their is much ji in this path and we shall dance the spears until the last sunset. This is the way of the algai'd'siswai, failure or defeat is met, only the da'shain fear it. Death comes to us all.

Now bear in mind this wonderful nerdgasm above has nothing to do with The Elder Scrolls lore directly and in fact is pulled from the Wheel of Time. The Aiel culturally most closely relate to the Redguard though they are pale and fair-haired with light eyes. The homeland of the aiel was a massive ass desert of doom so it fit's with the alik'r desert. I seek brothers and sisters with which to dance the Spear with, who is with me?

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

Yeah! I got invited for this weekend's Beta Test too!

[Viktor]

Yeah! I got invited for this weekend's Beta Test too!

Let me know what character name that you are gonna choose so that if you want to team up and test stuff, we can do that. I should be Vikkturr. I will be an Argonian.

[Perrone]

I've got into this weekend's beta too, can't wait.

[Viktor]

Tell them to give you a raise for it.

[Steiner]

I signed up for it a few days after it was announced and did not get invited. This is like a bad comedy.

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

Which platform did you choose? They're currently testing on the PC only.

[Palemire]

Tell them to give you a raise for it.

Good idea haha. Hopefully I'll get selected for it.

[Barry 1st MRB]

they sent me an email today ( i registered three nights ago) telling me that they have my info and to look out for the invite

I cant tell you how annoyed i am

[Viktor]

Game keeps crashing on me and won't let me log back in. I think I will call it quits for the night. So far, the character creation is awesome! lol

[Marsden 1st MRB]

I WANT CHARACTER CREATE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[White 1st MRB]

How was the beta. I'm pretty interested in this game and would love to hear more info about it.

[Quarterman 1st MRB]

Will it be broken like all the rest of the games?

[Kirkendall 1st MRB]

I was not terribly impressed with the beta. The servers were shit for most of it, always randomly dropping me out of the game. I realize they had a heavy load, but they know just how many beta keys they sent out, and they've done stress test betas before. Still, I was interested enough to keep attempting connection and play. Character creation was strangely reminiscent of Age of Conan although there were plenty of differences. I couldn't get a feel for the combat. It's supposed to be more like the Elder Scrolls combat from the single-player RPGs, but it was odd and clunky feeling. This could be refined by the time the game is ready for release. Same with the graphics I assume. I wasn't terribly impressed by those either, the art style didn't bother me, it's just that they didn't seem to embrace it. I did like the general starter questing, it was never "kill 5 oogleboogles and bring me their stirgetburrs." There was always a defined objective behind each mission, and that was generally refreshing.

Overall, I'd rate it at a 6.5/10. Problems are definitely there, but it's entertaining enough for me that I'll come back for at least another round. That's a beta scale coincidentally, I'm not comparing it to finished product.

[Arsenault 1st MRB]

Just got my Beta invite for this weekend! I'm looking forward to that.

[Willow 1st MRB]

i got one too! woot!

[Peters]

I got another invite for this weekend as well. Hopefully it will go better than last time!

[Barry 1st MRB]

registered for the beta a while ago and they never got back to me im very pissed

[Kirkendall 1st MRB]

Everyone point and laugh at Barry, he didn't get a beta invite!

[Viktor]

I had an invite for the weekend but passed it up since the last Beta experience was horrible. All I was able to do was create a character and move about 10 feet. I got moving stuff to do the next 2 days anyways.
