Wonder how many care bears cried when he killed that guy with low HP.. lol
No, he would be thrown out of the pvp community if he hadn't done that.
It's one of the basic test criteria for a "hardcore" pvper.
The others are:
- Playing a stealth character - he gets a pass on that too
- Ganking / Zerging - preferably at least 10 v 1 just to make sure of the win. Jury's out on RipperX here as we haven't seen that in this video.
- Camping in low level areas - at least 20 levels below your own character. Again not seen that in this video, so RipperX needs to make sure it's in his next one - otherwise hardcore pvp membership is in jeopardy here.

As soon as I get my new house with more room to store heads, I'm going to gank anyone and everyone. Just you wait. MUHAHAHAHAA!
How is movement controlled? WASD? Click to move? Holding down a mouse button and scrolling in a direction to move is insta carpal tunnel for me so I hope they offer some choices and keymapping if thats the case.
Flizzer, there will be different servers with different rulesets. There is definitely options for players who don't want to be ganked by Thugs like me.
BeBop - Yes, you can control movement by using WASD or also Left Mouse, Right Mouse rotates the camera. There's an options menu as well where you can customize to your liking.
Thanks

All MMO's have grinds. If you don't like to Grind then MMO's are not for you.

It's not about carebear at all,i simply look at an idea objectively and decide if i would want to be EITHER player and the answer is no from BOTH sides.
Being able to kill someone with almost no risk at all is not something i consider fun or exciting or challenging.I would look at it basically like saying ok i am going to join a sports league with 10 year olds,gee i wonder if i 'll be the superstar.
The game itself and the idea is imo a good one,i might end up playing this eventually in my spare time.
I have noticed that we are always clicking through a wasted click to get to these articles then i realized they are click counting for money reasons,always wondered why we didn't just go directly to the article.So in essence seems shotty on the delivering of these reviews.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
last ? re: movement....is there an autorun feature? (fingers crossed it's numlock, or again, the ability to keymap it as so)..
Thanks
Yes there's an option to toggle between walk, run, and sprint( sprinting costs stamina).
Not sure if I want to play on player created servers. I don't trust some random guy to efficiently run a server and just get kicked if I do something he decides he doesn't like. I would prefer to play on an official PvE server to avoid gankers like RipperX, but I don't know if there will be official PvE servers. If not, I'll probably pass on this.
Official servers will run multiple rulesets, including PvE, PvP, and depending on demand the HardCore/PermaDeath ruleset.(That ruleset will be made available to server admins regardless if there is enough demand for us to maintain a cluster dedicated to it)
Shards have a lot of potential. One thing that didn't impress me what was I saw when he modified his character though, the customization options seemed pretty small. Lets hope that Ripper either only showed us a little or that more will be added before launch.
The graphics certainly isn't cutting edge but it is at least acceptable and I will pick this game up on release. After all, if it was graphics that was the most important thing with MMOs Korean games would do far better here in the west.
Great intro video, reminds me of ultima. Could be quite fun :)
Good stuff.
