Please be gentle...I admit I'm a noob.

Thanks,

But what I’m concerned about is that how am i going to understand the game itself and if I am able to progress at all. This concern of mine is actually answered because of the game's tutorials and their "Maritime Academy" (Newbie School System). The academy is long but its worth experiencing it. Having a school also lets you join a chat channel for students just like me and community is very informative and fun to talk with.



One major thing that most players don’t do in MMORPG games is READING! I myself was one of those players that just skip through all the conversation and just accept the quest and hunt bunch of these mobs or gather some these items. In UWO it is different, gathering information through reading is a must! Like for example i was able to make a huge profit by just having a drink with a bar girl attendant and afterwards giving me a tip that the production of Alcohol in Dover (South of London) is overflowing making the price lower. I bought lots of these then sell it to another port or town making a huge profit. Well anyways my point is reading will be your key to your success in the game. There is also a UWO wiki that the current community is making and everyday they are pitching in by giving information about the game.

Moving on, every time I play the game I always discover new things that you can actually do like having your own quarters (As you progress through the game you can even buy a house or a farm, maybe yet an island) and you can decorate it with object that you bought or discovered in your adventures (Example paintings, ornaments, etc...). You can also invest by giving money in some town or city to have new facilities and to be recognized by its people. You can also conquer ports to stop other countries' influence thus increasing your trade routes.





I started out as a Military student and currently still a student because there are 3 levels of schooling UWO and just graduated from the first one. Besides the school you can be hired by players, companies, or guild to do some errands for them. Besides the side quests, there is also a story mode that differs from which country you choose from in the beginning. There are other quests as well that is related to 15th century history that you can partake in.



Finally my absolute favorite part of the game is the sea battles, battling 2 to 3 pirate ship at the same is a rush for me. I feel like Luffy in One Piece (Anime Series), having powerful cannons or big ships is factor but without strategy this will end up in failing. Aiming and maneuvering of your ship are your elements of winning a sea battle, firing at a ships weak spot either behind it or in front of it deals great damage and your opponent cant fire back because the cannons are located at the side. You can even charge your ship into them initiating melee battles.

There are more other things to experience into this game and as you can see i have already said a lot about it. Therefore my conclusion is that this game very different from what I usually playing and I'm having fun.

Thanks for reading my massive wall of text...BTW CBT os from August 25 to September 25, 2010.

Surprisingly, I've been seeing quite a few people supporting this and saying "What's another $10?" but these are probably also kids who don't pay their own hard-earned money. Personally, I find the price raise incredibly unfair, largely because they claim that it is a result of new features, but these are features that we aren't asking for! I don't know about anyone else, but I don't even want half of these features!

Last.FM is a cool feature, but I never use it. I hate the Zune crap and I'm still mad that they forced it upon me, making it more difficult to view my downloaded videos. I really couldn't care less about Twitter and Facebook; I've never even used these web sites and I sure as hell don't need them on my gaming console. And I flat-out don't want ESPN because I hate sports. I might eventually get a Kinect, but the support they're adding shouldn't warrant an extra fee.

With all of these different features, I don't benefit in any way. Sure, I use Netflix, but that's free on PS3 and Wii, so I don't even need it. I really think they need to have Live packages of some sort. There should be a base price and then they can simply charge for each additional feature (like an extra $5/year for ESPN). This would be far more reasonable and it would give Microsoft an excuse to create a bunch of different features, add-ons, and Xbox "apps" that they could provide for a fee. I know there are tons of people who would be drawn in by stuff like this (and more people would be willing to get a basic Live Gold account for maybe $30), so in the end, Microsoft could potentially end up making more money than by hiking up the price. I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't even consider doing this, but it would certainly be nice.

At least Pachter was wrong about the $100 price...but when is he not wrong? ]]> XBox 360 Murgatroyd7 http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3563-XBL-price-gouging. http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3557-Microsoft-and-PS3-motion-control?goto=newpost Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:45:09 GMT Anyone else think both of these are going to flop?

To mean motion control is for casual gaming and both Xbox and PS have always been hardcore gamer consoles. I feel like casual gamers aren't going to buy those system because of the hardcore stigma they have and hardcore games that have the systems arent going to get the motion control because they've been ripping on the Wii for the last 3 years.

I feel theres a very small percentage of users that like both. ]]> General Gaming Mike http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3557-Microsoft-and-PS3-motion-control http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3556-Warhammer-40K-Dark-Millennium-MMO?goto=newpost Sun, 29 Aug 2010 00:51:27 GMT Is it just me or does the IGN release date say this game is dropping in two days?

I almost had a heart attack when I saw that as I am totally unprepared for this... can anyone confirm the dates as this year, 2011 or 2012?

I'll start off:

"My mother used to say to me, she'd say "In this world, Elwood, you must be"...she always called me Elwood, "In this world Elwood; you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well for years I was smart, I recommend pleasant: you may quote me."


Its James Stewart from "Harvey" a brilliant movie btw.

What are some quotes that you fellas like? ]]> Anything Goes Raymo http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3537-favorite-movie-quotes http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3526-Can-starcraft-2-support-SLI?goto=newpost Mon, 16 Aug 2010 10:27:31 GMT The thing is...i did a test on the beta 'with' and 'without SLI' enabled and found NO DIFFERENCE IN FRAMERATE. I used fraps and found that the average FPS for both SLI and non SLI was 51.2 and 51.0 respectively. Ive turned off vsync and even physically removed the other card and still get the same performance.

On another, unrelated note, im extremely dissapointed that starcraft 2 is not optimised for quad core. They've spent 4 years developing this game and yet have been SLACK enough? Sure starcraft 2 still runs like butter on my powerful rig but you go into the map editor and put two big armies in a fight (i.e 200 vs 200 on one screen) and then try out the map. If it had been optimised for quad core im confident that the 'big army' vs 'big army' scenarios will not slow. ]]> Starcraft 2 SueWen http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3526-Can-starcraft-2-support-SLI http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3525-I-m-a-dad!?goto=newpost Sun, 15 Aug 2010 17:22:10 GMT I don't have time to chat at the moment, but I wanted to share this with you guys real quick:



August Walter Meichtry
Born 8/14/2010
8 pounds, 1 ounce
20.5 inches long


It was a very long and stressful labor that ultimately ended up with Cathy having to get a C-section. But the baby is perfect and healthy, and Cathy is recovering very nicely. And before you ask, no, we did not name him August because he was born this month. We actually had the name picked out before we decided to have a baby. It's just a coincidence.

And now I'm going to head back over to the hospital to visit my wife and son. ]]> Anything Goes Murgatroyd7 http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3525-I-m-a-dad! http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3520-BioShock-Infinite?goto=newpost Fri, 13 Aug 2010 02:25:56 GMT In case any of you missed the announcement, here's a bit of info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioShock_Infinite

So, what do you guys think? I do like that they are trying a completely different direction and I also like the idea of a steampunk sky city, but I don't think it works for the BioShock world. This is supposed to be a well-known and popular city, yet there is no mention of it in either of the previous games? And are we now to expect all sorts of different failed utopians? What's next, a volcano city? Space station? City made of ice? I think it could work as a standalone game, but I feel like it is really being forced into the BioShock world. I'm fine with leaving Rapture for a little while, but they have to make it work and make sense.

Does anyone else agree or am I just too picky? ]]> General Gaming Murgatroyd7 http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3520-BioShock-Infinite http://www.fanboyism.com/threads/3517-Noob-need-help-with-Starcraft?goto=newpost Wed, 11 Aug 2010 09:53:45 GMT I just recently got BroodWar, been tryin real hard to get it ^_^, have looked up faqs about help, they just don't seem to cover on how to get quicker, that's my problem getting up to speed with fastest, anyone have any advice.
