But Mullet, could you elaborate? Is Gunbound becoming pay to play? The frontpage doesn't mention anything.

It would appear it's still free to play, but you have to use real money to buy avatar clothing and such.....
It's quite a cool little scheme. Us cheapskates can still play the game, and people with too much money than sense can get the items they want. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

From now on, in AC2, i shall be talking engrish only. That reminds me, are you still playing it gem?
I felt that if I'd been given the post of beta tester I should really do it so I've been testing Horizons. Now that it's closed I feel the hankering for more MMORPGing but with something I've not tried before. I'll probably hit AC2 again though if anyone wants to play with me ^^
In the meantime I've applied for the betas in <a href='http://www.realmsoftorment.net' target='_blank'>Realms of Torment</a> and <a href='http://www.darkandlight.com' target='_blank'>Dark and Light</a> =3
RoT is very, very different from the usual MMORPG stuff and includes such things as having children, lifespans, perma-death, players teaching other players and a shedload of other things that differ drastically from the usual grind of levelling-based games.
Dark and Light is pretty ambitious though they're already in beta with it. It features some of the largest maps you'll ever find in MMORPGing, a weather system so dynamic and complex it's almost real and Kingdom vs Kindgom (light vs dark) action on a scale that makes DAoC look dinky XD
The weather thing is quite impressive as it even goes so far as to effect your player; heavy snow makes moving about hard and rain makes the ground wet 'n slippery which can effect fights and stuff. The terrain is procedurally generated and there's a heavy emphasis on exploration as well as finding/conquering new towns and stuff. For those less combat-orientated it's possible to help your kingdom win through economic or political means too ^^
It apears to be almost identical to Neocron, event he music.
They started looking at the beta aplicants yesterday, and are starting to selected testers, unselected players will be put forward to the next phase of testing.

Yeah sorry for not elaborating more....I was in a hurry because I posted this during my econ. class and I had to do it with great speed and espionage. Sorry for not explaing everything in detail, but I admit that I was having trouble reading the gunbound engrish.....sorry about that! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
"Stupid American go lost!"
Is it acctually like Scorched Earth, napalm and all, or is it that crazy Japenese stuff with moon beams and star blasts?
If it isn't anime/rpgish I think I'll get it. Scorched Earth was an awesome game, I fondly remeber being blasted off cliffs only to have my little parachute pop out and save the day while my friend would yell out... obscenities.
Gun bound is still free and all it is now is the ability to give that great team some money.
about the game, it's perked my interest, now where can I download it without needing to wait 6 hours? (Does a better download site have it?)

woah, you need to tell me where you find such jobs... =x
$10 may not be awesome, but I don't think anyone would complain if they were paid $10/hr to play gunbound =P
edit: where do I find such jobs? The one I got was for a medical group, but you can get them from any group that doesn't have technical talent onsite.
You'd think such a popular game would have had some good translaters by now. The manual is less than helpful, and I hope my old Scorched Earth skills can pull me through.
Reading the "avatar" screen, seems people can send items. So....if anyone has any items lieing around, send them to BF22 (shocking how all my other names were taken, and they were obscure as it is). Thank you in advance, as I know you're all dieing to give stuff away. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
P.S. Any tips?
BTW, what is "bunge"?
And these powers (force, hurricane, etc) do you start with them or are they part of the avatars?

practice, practice =P
a. sate and grub seem to be good for newbies... stay away from boomer... dragshot is harder to get used to, but is speedier and more accurate in the long run I think... keep an eye on your delay... umm... I dunno, read the faqs on www.gamefaqs.com ? hehe
as for satellite, Gwahir, are you referring to a. sate? he doesn't shoot directly at his enemies, but rather he fires a tracer, and where it lands, his satellite shoots...
oh, now I notice neither of you has even played the game before so I have to get very basic =P each mobile has 3 different attacks, tab switches between em. the first is generally weak and fast, the second is generally a little slower but more powerful, and the third (SS) is really slow, is generally hard to use, and is very rarely worth it. all the bots are very different, though. hmm. just practice and watch how everyone plays. and stay in the newbie zones as long as possible!
a couple things that aren't obvious to a beginner: the items you select at the beginning of a match don't cost money -- the number is how much delay they add to your turn. I generally pick a dual, a thunder, and a teleport if I'm doing random, or 2 duals and a teleport if I'm using a power bot (nak, turtle, etc). thunder is good for digging holes under people (which is what bunging is btw -- knocking someone into a hole or off the map to kill them), duals are good for doing hella damage, and teleport is for escaping nasty situations =>
force, hurricane, etc are weather -- there's a bar in the upper-left corner that shows the current weather, and what weather is coming up... most weather shows up as something on the screen. force and lightning add power to your shot if your shot travels through it. hurricane spins your shot around, usually making it land slightly farther than it would have. Thor is the best -- he's a big thing in the sky that shoots down at wherever your shot lands, and he gets more powerful as the game progresses.
plop in some more specific questions if you have em <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> mostly you just gotta play to get used to it...
