Unbelievably slow-paced awkward game. Great idea, and I remember liking it when I first tried it.. but on my next pass it just dragged on so badly I couldn’t even get through the first map.

A too-complex RTS game.

This is an aborted article, here to house some pictures I have. I misplaced the notes though. =/

I’ll find them eventually, but here are some screenshots in the meanwhile.

These are notes for the game. I attempted to play it during beta, but I was unable.

I was hoping that Ryzom would be good. They open sourced the client and they appreciate Linux. The game just doesn’t seem so hot.

For a while now, I’ve been playing the online game World of Warcraft (“WoW”). Come to think of it, I’ve been extremely unproductive in anything that’s important to me in life because of this game. Hmm.

But my habit of searching and reviewing has stayed with me. One of the things which attracted me to this game in the first place is the possibility to customize the game client (Forum: UI and Macros). Since it is impossible to create one interface which is universally acceptable, it is extremely good to allow developer customization.
