“I think your being rather harsh on Fallen earth, its actually a surprisingly good game, it wont get the mainstream success of WoW, but i beleive it will be a success”

“Was in the beta. It has the potential, but needs a serious overhaul of netcode first of all to even survive as serious MMO and should have a graphics overhaul too.”

“i dont see whats wrong with the graphics, they arent drowning in particle effects but the textures and models look good, that should be enough for an mmo. as for netcode.. thats not the problem, its more engine optimizaton... nobody's getting high pings (atleast i'm not and i should be as i'm european) its more a case of having the game freeze, low fps and raise your cpu temp to rival the sun itself... so yes, engine optimizaion is very necessery.. everything else, i dont really agree with.
about the graphics.. if runescape can be popular... ”

“Nice oveview, I still need to check out a lot of those that you reviewed.

One you forgot was Guild Wars 2...though I guess we don't really know how "upcoming" that is...hopefully soon enough.”

“@KrazyKain Yeah, IMO I'm far more likely to play an MMO with ho-hum graphics, but with a good community, and a nice skill system that allows you to take your character in any direction than one with outstanding graphics that's full of griefers and forces your character down only a hand-full of different paths.”

“@KrazyKain I thought about Guild Wars 2, but as you said, no idea how "upcoming" it is.
@dowekeller Me too, however good or at least decent "average" graphics will grow the player base in the beginning quicker than something like Fallen Earth has. An MMO that really does the community right, will cause many of their players to... well be better than your usual stereotypical WoW MMOers because they will come to respect the game and their fellow players.

“Here new news for beta testers from offcial site :

Game Servers now open 24/7

It’s our goal to make this game the best it can be. And since this is the first time the game servers are open 24/7, we’re keeping certain weekdays optional for temporary maintenance shutdowns if needed. The temporary close down periods will be announced here on the Beta Center, so stay tuned for relevant updates.

Also, the German Beta was released last week. So, if you want to go German, all you have to do is open the game launcher as usual, click the American flag at the bottom and choose “LEGO Universe Beta EU”. Es ist super klasse!”
