First, JoG, your post was really well writen, and feel free to blast away at anything I post... I can take it. (people on power trips are the only thing that up-set me on boards).
Well, I waited almost 2 years to get the Beta code... Now I know they had to have something to get funding before that. That being said, Yesterday, after most players were off, was the FIRST time I was able to see the graphics for attacks work right- I was in the jail (not any combat), but I got to see every frame of the attacks...
I'm on cable, with Win XP, 2.8 GHz processor, and G force FX 5000 graphics card. Seeing what the game could be like is the only reason I haven't deleted it yet. I'm sure they don't just say "Let's get somebody to test this thing now". I understand load is going to mess with things a little, but 2 + years...

For me... I press an arrow key, and let go- nothing will happen, OR I will move 2 or 3 turns... The only place in the game I can move where I want to is in shops, or the jail.

You say we are in the game for feed back... I got to ask (still waiting for reply to feed back link I had to search for), I run IE 7, but I can't get the game web pages to load- I get the graphics for link menus, the header/logo, and a nice light blue gradient BG where the page content should be (logged-in or not).
Do you know how many companies will give you space, and codes to make Message Boards FREE... If they really wanted to know what we think, why are we posting here (agaist the rules of the game, & could cost you your beta key)..?

The 5yr old (that was really a cop) is just a thing I have about stuff they do, like VMK filter, to a chat game. Is a kid that boots, logs-on, reads, and types SMART or not..? How hard is it to understand that there no real way to know who you are talking to on the internet. For some reason, the 5yr old sting story didn't go into where on line it took place.

I'm not a preditor... Could I set-up a meeting even with a VMK filter..? Sooo risky, but you bet I could... Like I say, I'm not a predator, but I do go outside, and to think the internet is the best way to do that... Well, you should get busted, and a lot worse.

Messing up a chat game so you don't get a "My Space" rep. when this "really smart" kid, can get like 5 or 6 free Instant Message programs... Hmm...
