Well, im part of the beta now, so I will be playing sometime tonight. The only problem I ran into with this game so far is that it has been updated so many times, it takes a long time to update it to the current level. Other then that, once its done updating, I will be able to take my first look into the game!
Oh, and more reasons to play Archlord: Everyone can fight for the oppurtunity to become the Archlord of the game for a month. When you do become Archlord, you get a sweet suit of armor and a sweet weapon, as well as the fact you get your own castle and a dragon mount that you can control and fly all over the place raining death down upon the people below you. Now that is something worth fighting for in my opinion. I will update this more when I get into the game later tonight or friday. |

Wow's min specs are as follows:
Intel Pentium III 800 MHz or AMD Athlon 800 MHz 256 MB RAM 32 MB 3D graphics card with Hardwar Transform and Lighting, such as an NVIDIA GeForce 2 class card or above DirectX 9.0c and latest video drivers 5.0 GB available HD space 4x DVD-ROM drive 56k or better internet connection Here's what I have: Intel Pentium4 2 GHz 256 MB RAM Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller (which sux BIGTIME, btw...) DirectX 9.0c with the latest drivers 2 30 GB hard drives 32x CdROM Drive 56k internet connection I have no idea what it takes to run guild wars, but its probably more than what I have... Mostly the graphics card, lol! I really need to get rid of that and get a new NVIDIA... I can run WoW okay, but I really needed to tweek it to do so. 
Luckily, the program is VERY lenient if your specs suck, so I was able to do it. I'm gonna need a RAM upgrade and a new video card if I plan on playing Archlord... |

You need a upgrade to play it? The min specs I can cover with my E-Machine with a 128 graphic card, 512 ram, and a 2.8 ghz processor. Its about the same as the requiments for WoW and Guild Wars.
But damn, I like this system the game has. 1 person can become the Archlord of the game for 21 days before he can beccome challenged by someone else for the spot. If you get really good, you could hold it forever. Anyway, I hope by the time I can enter the beta test, they have almost all the issues workd out of the game so its all cool. So yay for Archlord!!! and btw, my comp on second thought covers the min to max specs. Mostly the max spec , but whatever. |

I've been looking forward for this one, but I need a serious upgrade to play it :/
I don't actually think that it'll be a WoW killer, though. In my opinion at least! |
| Jedi Master Desroth Posts: 428/569 |
Yeah, I said it. A possible WoW killer is on its way to PC's early next month yall! Archlord, the first MMORPG made by Codemasters (to my knowledge) will be hitting shelves in the first or second week of October.
Taking the best aspects of both WoW and Guild Wars, Archlord is building up to be a final true rival to WoW (not that Guild Wars isnt awsome, but I want a game in between WoW and Guild Wars...) The basic plot line of the game is that Humans, orcs, and Moon Elfs (they look more like Nekos, but whatever) have lived together in Chantra for thousands of years. In a surprising turn of events, Orcs enslaved humans and the Moon Elf's remained basically to themselves. Humans fought for and won their freedom from the orcs and both sides built new civilizations. Just when things are looking up, a meteor hits the planet and destroys much of the continet the 3 people lived on, forcing them to flee to the last inhabital land available. A mysterious leader took power over the orcs and united them into one clan (think Thrall from Warcraft in a way). Now that all 3 people have lost all they had, they are rebuilding and vieing for control of what is left. You enter into this confilct on any of the 3 sides, each having male and female sides. Also, they made the class system for each class dependent on gender you want to be. Females have access to mages, while males have access to Sorcerors, etc etc. So if you want to be a mage, you willl automatically be a female. Weird, but easy to look past. Now, Codemasters also took a leaf out the book of other rpgs, like FF. The level cap is 100. I dont know why they made it 100, but they did. With this level 100 cap, there must be something added to it to make it easier to level? Of course there is! You get special tokens each month that you can spend on enhancment items outside the game for enhancement items for your character for a short time. These items have been said to not give someone who is 20 levels lower then you the ability to run up and kill you in 2 hits (unlike in WoW where a level 19 twink can take a level 30 down in a instant). Also, you can outright buy more tokens to spend on these enhancments, which brings me to another point... The monthly fee... The fee is 10 dollars a month, a whole 5 dollars cheaper then WoW. For all you cheap people out there who dont want to dish out 15 bucks, but you can part with 10 (but you people make no sense to me) this game can fill that need. You can find more about this game by looking up Archlord on google and go to the main site. If you preorder the game, you can join the beta when it comes to the preorder beta testing, as well as recieve 1 free item of your choosing (the items permanetly boost some attribute of your character). Go check it out, I cant wait to get this game early next month!! |
