Embers Adrift, a "retro-style"(think Everquest, I suppose) MMORPG will be celebrating its 1 year anniversary with a free month starting tomorrow(Oct 13th), the game itself is buy2play.

I played it for less than an hour and got bored, sorry, don't really like survival-crafters.

What Rusty said unfortunately. I had fun dicking around with you the first day, but survival crafters just leave me dead for some reason. I've tried ARK, Minecraft, Terraria... none of them could keep my attn for longer than a couple hours.

I played conan exiles and it killed my interest in any of the others, they're all so similar that it's like playing the exact same game again.

Boontaker · Post by **Boontaker** » October 12th, 2023, 19:20

I'd give embers a try (because free), but there are probably better free MMOs we could try out as a group

asf · Post by **asf** » October 12th, 2023, 20:38

might take a look, as long as I don't need to download some rootkit to play

Could give it a try if you want asf.

I've been meaning to try Valheim again at some point, but you are right about the survival crafting aspects. The release version of the game lacked enough of a world for me, although I know people were modding it quit a bit. Like I saw somebody added treasure chests and other shit a while back. If the right mod comes around to "fix" the game, I might give it a go again.

Tweed · Post by **Tweed** » October 13th, 2023, 00:04

No one bought me a copy of Valheim so I couldn't play it.

GhostCow · Post by **GhostCow** » October 13th, 2023, 00:18

I checked this out and the classes on offer are kind of disappointing. What happened to games having nice crowd control classes? Anyway, this looks like shit, but I'm 100% down to play with other HQers. What are we going to use for voice chat?

Looks like absolute shit. Gameplay is ass and im not looking forward to mining stones for hours to make an item with higher numbers than the one my character holds. Im way past this shit.

See you ingame.

Boontaker · Post by **Boontaker** » October 13th, 2023, 06:09

Is it 1 mega server? Are there guilds? In game friends list? Should those of us who plan to play post our character names?

Tweed · Post by **Tweed** » October 13th, 2023, 06:22

Are there bears to fuck?

Kalarion · Post by **Kalarion** » October 13th, 2023, 13:45

I registered to the forum, just waiting until noon to see if they put their money where their mouth is.

GhostCow · Post by **GhostCow** » October 13th, 2023, 15:04

Someone who isn't me needs to set up a time and date for us to play. I'm free by 5pm central today, maybe earlier depending on work. Also free all weekend.

Is this thing worth playing, looks like some grindfest. I also went to that forum, and it has 'people' like this:

Yikes!
