well of course its just a feature people can finally see what they've earnt for all their gaming up tll now.

Steam sale on GW: eye of the north http://store.steampowered.com/app/29700/

Finally instanced or not its still going to have a massive community in the towns and guilds, aren't i correct in thinking final fantasy 14/11 are the same way. combat at least boils down togroups of small numbers.

Probably. Both games are steaming piles though. FF14 devs for some reason refuse to listen to feedback.

Instancing makes the game feel smaller.

No it doesn't. The game is just as big but without people griefing you whilst rying to do a quest or massivly overloadng their servers. It's just another way of doing it .

It's true that instancing makes the game feel smaller. It doesn't make it smaller but because you see less people, it feels smaller. Well known fact!

Anybody else notice that they removed this from their Game FAQ page?

I also had a friend from EQ2 tell me they are going more open zone instead of instancing. It suddenly became 100% more appealing!

I just watched all of this:

This game is looking so much better it used to. Very polished. Nice animations. Nice interface. RIFTy and Guild Warsy at the same time. Nice.

After watching these two videos (one, two), I must say I am quite interested in this game. If there's a lot of good co-oping and it stays the buy-once plus expansions model I may get it.

I also put Techious down as my "current guild" - might help us get in if a few people set it.

Or I didn't server went down before I could finish

Hivemind.

Already done and with Techious as guild

Preordered the digital edition for £50.

Play has it for £40, and AFAIK it's exactly the same (they send you a code in a box).

Cool. Does it give you access to all the betas too?

Yup, it's listed as pre-purchase with standard shipping time (rather than pre-order with a release date). I've heard you get sent a DVD case with a code in it that makes it essentially the same.

Nice but too late for me now.

Yeah, I'm gonna wait until after my exams are all finished anyway, so I'm keeping an eye on the deals.

Did I just miss the beta weekend?

There was one this past weekend.

Yeah I completely missed it! Oops!

Trailer - has date 28/8/12, presumably the release date.


Watch this video on Youtube.
