I'd like to know this as well (iMac Core2Duo 2.66Ghz, 2GB RAM and HD2600PRO).
Why can't we even *read* the official forums without a game key? I just wanted to check some more impressions...

It's how I'm playing the game, since my PC is hooked up to my 37" 1080p panel and I sit on the couch. Works pretty well with a 360 pad, but you can't get all the functions mapped out since there are too many binds so I keep my wireless kb next to me to hit some keys for the odd spell. Using the left stick for WASD movement, right stick for the mouse, right trigger for Right click, right bumper for left click, left trigger for ALT, left bumper for TAB, XYB for 123 respectively, A for X(active guard) Dpad for shields, I have each direction macro'd to CTRL+1/2/3/4, Start for interact, select for Auto run.Proc said:
Been working great, though I'm sure I'll be improving the profile as I get more shit in the game.
Also, GMs are no fucking joke:

To ensure that 1) complainers are legit customers and 2) people who are thinking about buying the game don't get to read all the complaints (forums are always tilted more towards complaints, because happy people have less reason to post about their experience).

Ah well selling my 2600PRO and getting a Radeon 3870 for this game, found a 512MB Gigabyte 3870 for 160 bucks. It comes bundled with NWN2 too. Great deal IMO.

runs pretty good at medium quality on my HD 2600 XT. Willing to bet it would be quite playable on the pro if you're willing to play medium-low settings.

Gravity is a myth, the Earth SUCKS!
I'm a lvl 16 herald of Xotli and to be honest, I don't think the starting area is so bad. Perhaps if it's your 2nd character but for first timers it's good to have a friendlier environment to learn what it is you're doing. Unlike many other people, I enjoy playing at night a lot. Gives the game much more of a personal feeling where you can really get into the story of the game without distractions.

While that sucks, try to get help again in a week. I'm sure if you keep trying, you'll eventually get a working key. A few people reported getting broken serial keys and they managed to get replacements e-mailed to them.
As for European games, both STALKER and The Witcher are currently awesome. They had a few issues at release, but those are now fixed and they are great games.
New rig built this morning. Tracked down a copy of the game (sold out in 3 out of 4 shops i tried). Installed, patched and ready to go. Gonna be on Fury if i can get on. Been reading the official forums and seems like Fury is the PVP server that every euro guild has picked so is really busy. Apparantly there's already level 80s in the game which is gonna make FFA PVP server difficult lol.
Now to decide what class to play...

So I'm level 11 and making my way through Tortage. When I finish Tortage let's say I want to create a new character. Can I skip Tortage or do I have to do it all over again everytime?
...cause there are a lot of different types of characters to try out...

Tell me about it. I don't get the hate that some people reserve for Tortage, but I love the opening parts of the game.
Also, I always get chuckle over people that bitch that say: "I have to do Tortage AGAIN?! This will get boring! It's the same thing!" Like any other opening areas that other MMOs are vastly different from one other, save the environments. The quests are carbon copies of one another, so suck it up!

New environments, quests, story, and you gain access to class abilities from the get go. Oh, and you don't have to sit through the same cutscenes and dialogue trees over and over and over and over.

The interface is terrible. Every set of menus seem take over 70% of the screen, there is no simple button you can click on in the corner to close them, the item boxes are unnecessarily huge, the chat box is gray/white on gray, the comparison between equipped and what you've moused over rarely fits on the screen, and the there is no way to just click on somebody in your friends list to send a tell, like you can in most other MMOs. There's really a plethora of things wrong with it, but those are my current frustrations.
I dont get the complaints about tortage, IMO it was possibly the best starting zone in any mmo ive ever played. Might be bevause of the different questlines for the different archetypes, or we went through the quests in a different order, but for me it was easy and fast. I was level 13 3 hours after server up, probably less.
are people trying to level to to in night mode or something?
i mean it takes like 15 mins to hit level 5 and get to tortage, you can hit 7 or 8 on a couple of the easy quests, then you do like one or two thing in night mode and you are 11 or 12, go back to day, level to 19 the you can skip the last few night quests, or do them and hit 21 or so.
i hit 25 basically the first day, so its not like it takes a super long time or anything.
i guess people just enjoy different things about game, and nothing will please everyone

Like half the people even read that shit, especially when it's text based like a LotRO or WoW. And if you don't like the cut-scenes, just breeze right through them and click the top dialogue tree. It takes 5-10 seconds to get through them. You act as if 5-10 seconds is a fucking burden.

Not the greatest engine in the world then.
We just spent around 16 gold building the rest of the principal buildings for our city. Next up spend about 100 more gold building walls and towers and upgrading the buildings then it is onto the battlekeeps!.

Ok, I like the idea of a guild being able to create their own town. What sort of benefits are there? How does the building process work, do you have to gather materials or do you just pay to build a structure. Can anyone from the guild build or only the leader and what is a battle keep?
