Oh well, Ryzom beta’s over, and it appears the developers/publishers are not sufficiently competent to get it released in the UK. This looks like a call for another MMO. Asheron’s Call(2), here I come.
Have also ascertained that it is indeed the lab that gives me headaches. Haven’t worked out what to do about it yet, although asking to be moved as Alex was seems to be an option.

Ok, and after deciding to give it one last try, I sat playing it for 6 hours. Seems it has *something* going for it. Another patch is being delivered about now, which is good I suppose. There’s not many people, presumably because it’s beta, but having found a couple of interesting people the game suddenly seemed more appealing. Perhaps it’s worth a go for a month or so, who knows.

Well, I got the SoR client, played it for about 24 hours. It has potential. The various things that frustrate me about City of Heroes seem to be better here for the most part. The big downfall though is that it’s still *so buggy*. A great many strings are just missing, some of the online help is still in French, items disappear from your inventory, and your keys are remapped every time you login to the quite retarded defaults. It’s supposedly better once you get to “the mainland” so I might have another attempt to enjoy it today, but this looks like an MMO I won’t be paying for. Bring on World of Warcraft.

Well, I’m getting a bit fed up of City of Heroes at the moment, so thought I’d try something different. Saga of Ryzom is in open beta for a couple of days until release, so I thought I’d try that. 700k/s download at work for the 1.1Gig client. Fine, I thought. Pre-patched client, neat touch. Then I try and log in (after the installer froze everything). 68 patches to download. Could be some time before I’ve tried the game

Right, the blog appears to be (fingers crossed) running. I don’t have much to say though, unfortunately.
Had a headache, came to work. Work’s not aiding matters as the lights in the lab give me headaches at the best of times. I suppose I should try and set cath up with a blog too at some point.
