Just picked up this game on the weekend. Gotta say I'm hooked.

It's kinda like Diablo in that it's a point and click issometric game. There are unique items, slotted items, potions, class specific items and monsters puke items out when you kill them. But that's about where the similarities end.

First the world is fixed but it's also populated with cities full of people that you can talk to just for the sake of talking to them. Plus your character walks around shouting things out that at times have made me laugh my ass off.

You kill things get exp level up improve stats, improve skills, learn combat techniques, can create your own combos. You can ride a horse which adds a new element to combat. It's just a lot of fun.

It's not Baldurs gate in depth or scope but I'm certainly enjoying this a lot more then Never Winter Nights.

    I had the same problem with Darkstone also. Got so far then got stuck that was frustraiting to no end.

    Sacred is better though so far.

    assuming i can pull myself away from lineage 2, i will set up a darkstone server tonite. i dont think it will require much bandwidth for just a few people . . .

    Any chance do you know what ports are needed to be open to host a game?
