MMO - Atlantica Online (sort of...)

This was going to be the point where i review Atlantica Online. Unfortunatly I couldn't because after spending 4 HOURS! Downloading and installing then going through the site signing up i finally clicked on play and i was presented with ANOTHER download screen. It seems in order to play you need a Game manager. In the past with games like Final Fantasy 11 all the online stuff was handled by PlayOnline (God i hated that program!) So i think "Fuck not again" but i wanted to play it to i clicked on it any way. NOTHING. It would connect to download. I tried everything; Wireless connection/LAN connetion, restting the computer and the router. Even tried downloading it from my desktop but still it wouldn't work. I asked around and apparantly a lot of people have had problems downloading this file, and have since moved on to another game. And i'm sorry to say i was one of them.

From what i've seen/read AO is an MMO with turn based combat like Final Fantasy. The games looked good, you could loads of characters to your party and have epic battles. What i also saw was that instead of classes like mage, hunter and rogue you have the choice of differant weapons; sword, mace, bow and even a guitar. How awesome would that have been to charge into battle with 7 or 8 friends and you twat the first ork with a banjo!

But alas its not for me. I might have another go later but untill then i guess its off to find a new game.


Man that looks good!!!
