What was your first thought when you played Regnum?

haloboydeath · 07-21-2009, 10:49 AM

Mine was "ZOMG! This game is like epic n stuff!"

Brother-brian · 07-21-2009, 07:10 PM

I had heard so much about WoW, have been told how awesome it is, it is the phenomenon sweeping the globe, Ozzy advertizes for em, along with Capt Kirk, lol.... and its FREE? Open source ROCKS!

Something like that.

Pretty much stayed like that, till quests disappeared and i got into the WZ.

Now I think quite seriously about nuinstalling completely, and diggind out my old pencil/paper and dungeon dice.

(most of y'all dont even know what dungeon dice are, rofl)

Wow, a huge world where I can have wars with loads of other people and can advance my character.(Regnum Online is the only MMORPG I ever played, except for some hours of Perfect World) In my imagination the WarZone was much bigger than it really is.

Myxir · 07-21-2009, 08:49 PM

I read about the game in the ubuntuusers.de forum like 3 years ago.
When I started I was totally amazed by the whole game. Of course the linux client gave bonus points.
I never thought that I actually will like mmorpgs. But the game proved me wrong

Despite all my complaining about Regnum and NGD it's still a game I love to play.

OT: The world was so big...
No map, getting to explore it all and then finding WZ and getting killed as soon as I put my first step out there.
It was all so magical.

I was constantly getting lost in initiation zone cos my sense for orientation in virtual-3d is practically nonexistant.
I liked the idea of playing and getting back to some spanish practice.

Oh and i thought that gfx doesnt really matter, though actually my fps used to be better back then...with more details.

But what kept me playing was that i liked the pace of the game: its not stress to play and usually gives you some seconds to consider not just to react. Except when theres lag ofc.

lvl 1: meh

lvl 6: There are quests? (yeah... go figure, the NPCs were actually there for something ^^)

lvl 10:

me: Mmm, hunter or marks?
friend: I need a hunter...
me: Are they good?
friend: They rule.
me: Nice.
friend thinking: (Yay, go for it noob, I only need your damned track!)

lvl 11: Where am I? Why is this guy shooting at me? Feck!... I'm dead.

lvl 12, 13, 14 and so on: Where am I? (yeah, quite recursive in those days, hence the location ^^)

lvl 17: Wtf, how does a midget barb looking like a block of metal (epic fail) runs more then me on fur t-shirts? (who never had moments of epic noobness throw the first stone)

lvl 25: Menirah beach rules... pets suck.

lvl 27: On realm chat - Kronta en Mednet!!!

lvl 31:

me: Woot! 3 RP!
barb friend at end 20s: I got 5! jijijiji
lock friend at mid 30s: I got 10... ^^
me: MOVE! We have 3 impossible archers behind us! (This game is epic fun!)

lvl 32:

me: 2a, 3m SW 250m
Night Twix: let's do it
Z: Ready.
Tia: I want blood!

(they were a 18 player's Syrtis lvling party)

back at save

NT: wtf, 2a and 3m?
me: Don't you have a bugged/disabled spell somewhere? I have plenty! :P
NT: got get some lvls :P
me: I really don't think this will improve with lvl...

(I was right)

lvl 35: I still look awesome on my Yoroy (certainly I'm misspelling) outfit... ninja style! (c'mon, DM was still grinding his lock...

)

lvl 37: I'm OP!

me going IC: "Observe my mighty punch you smelly demi goat God!"

Pelicauthgar: Crushing 3067 dmg.
You have been defeated by Pelicauthgar.

me: O.o
Hollowpoint: You know your bow fires arrows from range right?
me: :P

All in all, it was about to be the best free game ever... sometimes I still believe in it... lately I don't (and it's not for the graphics).

I remember that from your posts in role play topics. Do you still have links to them?

True - Regnum is not open source.

I only run Linux. I was considering WoW, but refuse to run Windows anywhere and didn't want to run another application under Wine. If companies can't produce a native Linux client, then I'll not bother with them. Simple as that. My hatred for all things microsoft is far greater than my desire for any other software (I also hate Apple, but less)!

First impressions:

August 2008 - Wow, this is really in-depth and involving! Killing a few dumb monsters is obviously leading on to something far more complex and exciting.

The map is massive and its really scary venturing into the unknown with so many 'impossible' mobs, that seem to attack you for no apparent reason, other than you've strayed too close to them!

Oh... nice - monsters don't follow you for ever!

Pay attention to the quests, write everything down, because it might be important! (I have about 10 A4 pages of notes, character positions, etc, from when I first started playing!)! Hahah - what a dumbass! lol!

September 2008 - bumped into AwD, who explained the benefit of using staff mastery - I always wondered how some mages managed to killl mobs quicker than I did!

September/October 2008 - Second impresion: (Attacking Herb @ L27) This is really exciting, almost like a real fight in the street.... adrenaline pumping and all that, but OMG! WTF is going on!?

Discovered group grinding! Wow - you really can level a LOT faster when there's a few of you!

October 2008: Third impresisons: Grinding sucks the ball-rot off dead mans underpants

...totally boring, but I wanted to get my mage to 50, so I carried on.

October/November 2008: I felt it necessary to buy some scrolls to reward NGD, as I really liked the game and because each time I went into the wz with a higher level, it became so much more fun and playable!

November 2008: Finallt graduated. Well worth it in the end!

Ulmanyar · 07-22-2009, 12:42 AM

My first thoughts was in the line of:

What? Only Spanish? And why is 80% of NPC chat-boxes a bugged quest like:

Quote:

No habla español, muerta [err_some_item], embes, wtf. [err_something_else] somos pocos.

No, I still can't speak spanish.. and yes, when I started playing it was "only" Spanish - at least 90% - and most things were bugged. Apart from that, it was a lot like Znurre's experiences: the world was so big and confusing (no map), and I just had to see it all!
