my optus cap is 3 GB [even though its cable broadband], used to be unlimited. we paid for unlimited. now, later, its the same price, for a much lesser service. argh.
every1 else around is same
cos optus + telstra pretty much have the market in a lockdown, theres nothing anybody else can do.
theyre competing with eachother, but nobody is going to raise the bar.
I really hope I get this one, as I'm wetting my pance with excitement over this like I've never done w/ an MMORPG. It seems they've finally made one that can cater to my tastes!
Most of you guys here haven't really said WHY this one is gonna (hopefully) be so great, so I'll spill a bit. Keep in mind this is based on stuff a friend told me and so if he's wrong well then I'm just gonna look dumb again:
Basically, the world is ran by the players themselves, not just the makers. Say there's an island you want to explore, but there's no way to get to it. If players want to get there, they gotta build a bridge.
Also, via the player Property system, you can build your own towns and such. Even your own friggin CASTLE. You can build almost whatever you want on your property, including shops and other places of business. After seeing <a href='http://www.istaria.com/images/wallpapers/preview_group.jpg' target='_blank'>this shot</a> I've decided that I'll probably start some sort of brothel, as no doubt all the people living in their parent's basement will be more than willing to pawn their +24 Sword of Dragon Dexterity for a few minutes with "Elfira". I can already hear me playing a "cha ching" wav file in the background...
Perhaps the coolest prospect of the game is the fact that it is actually BEATABLE. The developer's have planned for scenarios for the community to actually rid the land of the menace and win the game. And then of course another, different menace shows up, but the one you've vanquished is gone and the storyline has progressed! Also I hear its possible to *LOSE* as well, as in the Undead may successfully take over the entire world and everyone loses, in which case I assume it all resets...
Not to mention they are funny peoples: <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The Horizons Stratics community speaks with Bowman and Snow <b>NelsonT - -[ Atma ]-</b> me and my friends really like pie. does the guild system support pie-related activities, such as eating and/or lighting them on fire? if so, when can we expect support for recipes such as rhubarb and coconut? are there any ways for the player to prevent the undead from stealing his or her pies when hes not looking?

[edit] I also just now noticed that the game is set for release on Dec 9th. Just a few weeks for those who don't get into the beta! woot! [/edit]
There are two really good previews on Gamespot <a href='http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/horizons/preview_6072286.html' target='_blank'>here</a> and <a href='http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/horizons/preview_2897487.html' target='_blank'>here</a> that give you a pretty broad overview of the game.
The more I keep hearing about this one, the more I like!
It supports user made models and allow players to import any model they wish. So for those like me who have a somewhat beast of a machine, the community can make hi-poly models of the monsters & characters and then release a model pack. :D w00t.
