what do the Prestiege Powers do? (like actualy description style)? <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> Ahh those prestige power was nothing more than a gimmick, alas. It's just sprint with a slightly better graphics.
The "10 things I take for granted" was written by a beta player named "Innovations".
The way the "loot" works is that the enhancements and influences dropped are circled around the team. Player1 get the first loot, then player2... after player8 it's back to player1. So everyone is guarantee to get something. The drop is anonymous, it appears on your inventory by itself.
Enhancement includes 1. Higher damage 2. Lower Endurance cost (mana basically) 3. Lower recharge time 4. Range increase (for range attack) 5. Healing ability increase. 6. Flight speed increase 7. Run speed increase. etc...
Certain power can slot certain enhancements. Usually every character can find a use of most enhancers (Same types can be combined for a higher enhancement level.)

How about system requirements? Any complaints about specific hardware? I realize it's still in beta but I'm wondering if you've had/heard any complaints regarding graphics or system performance.
And more screenies plz <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Ok, I have $760 in my bank acocunt. I get about $100 every 2 weeks from work (god it sucks) I have to pay 2 more months of rent+bills them I am gone (thats about $700)
That leaves me with about $460, from there I have to pay for food, GF's BDay, Mom's BDady.....
I can buy CoH
Should I?
Oh, and how many months 'free' do you get with purchase?

You know, costs....
In truth, they have to do monthly charging (and don't even think that things like WON or even Battle.net compare to the costs of running an MMORPG). The actual prices? Yah, they make a nice chunk of change... Then again, this game has been indevelopment for a few years, they probably still have debts/loans that need to be payed.
I'm kind of curious if guildwars's method will work plus there are some MMORPGs out there with interesting methods like project entropy =o I think a monthly fee is gonna be the primarily accepted method for quite some time though ^^ ...not that I'd mind if I thought there was an MMO worth the fees.

once you have an honest to god job, $15 a month is realy not that much (amusingly enugh)
As for PE? Their meathod is great for casual gamers. For people who realy like to go out and level up? Forget it!
And for those who want to do absoloutly nothing but stand around and talk? ITS PERFECT!
Oh, for those who don't know: PE simply converts real $$ into Peds (the curency) You have to buy everything. And all of it degrades and eventualy becomes unusable.
There used to be one way to get free $$ and that was to camp in the midle of a PvP Zone and wait for the oil rig to spue out a barel of oil every min or so..... then again, PK Guilds camped that spot also. The game ran like crap on my comp, thus I wasted money firing shots that didn't hit b/c of lag. And then getting killed b/c of lag (loosing more peds b/c of my degraded armour, and the shots on the mob I was trying to kill, that I didn't.....)
I don't like PE <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Works quite well in habbo hotel though =3 ~blinks~ I should really go play that again sometime just for the heck of it ^^
like I said though, I don't mind monthly fees if I could find an MMO I felt was worth it =/ Who knows... maybe I might end up liking City of Heroes or something.

hehe, train of thought for habbo
Only reason I actuly knew about it was from when I was hanging out on the mag0t forums (this was so I could find out about what hacks were in use atm, so I knew what to watch for, they were great for that <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->, well that and have rather intelegent arguments.... was sorta scary). They realy enjoyed griefing on habbo (as all you had to do was block a door and every one freaked)
I finaly figgured I should look at it just to see wth it was....
my god, its a bunch of prepubecent british teens trying to hook up....
dear god save me. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

And it's so fine. I didn't expect this game to run this smooth on Gforce2.
Same with world of warcraft. They try to take you for the long haul.
