Is Alpha just a server name?

[QUOTE=Orangecircle;45649968]Basically my thoughts. I placed my order with kinguin, took a pic of my license and am waiting for them to contact me back.[/QUOTE] Ah, mind informing me wether it was any trouble or not, afterwards? [editline]10th August 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Simples;45650015]Is Alpha just a server name?[/QUOTE] It's the name of one of the Alpha servers.

[QUOTE=Simples;45650034]Ah so if I buy the cheapest pack I can't play on it?[/QUOTE] No. You'll have to purchase the Archaeum Pack for 150$ (or cheaper by one of the previously mentioned ways). If you get one of the cheaper packs, you'll get access to all Beta-tests though.

[QUOTE=jonoPorter;45649850][IMG_thumb]http://a.pomf.se/jonbyh.jpg[/IMG_thumb] I witnessed the Kraken attack Sanddeep. Sorry for the terrible screenshot.[/QUOTE] Woah shit I didn't know it roamed around like [i]that[/i]

I didn't have any problems buying the pack from kinguin. I just sent an image of my passport with the note with my order number over the picture and edited in a black box over half my personal identification number using MS paint and I got the gift sent to me through steam within the same day. I also haven't noticed any Russians emptying my bank account by the way, apart from the ~800 NOK I spent on this game, of course.

[QUOTE=Killdozer;45650267]Woah shit I didn't know it roamed around like [i]that[/i][/QUOTE] It's there for a quest, not the actual kraken.

So, I guess Kinguin it is then. By the end of the month I should be onboard, hopefully the Alpha-access will still be available by then.

Well, they ask for photo ID and prove of address. Sent em the info and they told me half of its cut off. So i sent like 9 more pictures to be obnoxious and am waiting for them to reply. So I will let you know. Update: They confirmed and sent me the key. Installing now! Look forward to hooking up with you guys. Will probably have the character name Orangecircle.

I will make sure to keep posting in here but by the end of this month I expect to be ready to join you guys. Will most likely roll under the name Yunero.

Fell off my glider, managed to survive and find a farm at the same time! Unfortunately the owner was there so I had to spend some time pushing...

So I harpooned my guildies clipper to the floor and reeled us in. Once you reach the bottom you launch out of the water: [thumb] http://i.imgur.com/Voh8lPj.png [/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/TCTmCq0.jpg [/thumb] and heres what happens when you slam into a boat above you [thumb] http://i.imgur.com/MlX9Ecp.jpg[/thumb]

Let me tell you a tale, of The Great Wizard Gildart, and his captain, Paddeh The Flatulent. Everything started nice and quiet, I came online thinking I'd just level a bit, maybe do some crafting. I was contacted by Paddeh The Flatulent, he had found a lovely spot in Riverspan, naturally I decided to pay him a visit. Thinking it would only be a small detour. I was wrong... Embarking on a glorious adventure, we decided to do some land sailing, using our mighty harpoon to pull us up a cliff. [t]http://i.imgur.com/9sAafY8.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/7t8dlWS.jpg[/t] Things went along smoothly, and we decided to head for Windshade. On the way we picked up a low level passenger, who seemed to find the experience quite enjoyable. Apparently it was a young child, whose father had set up a character for him to run around and explore. [t]http://i.imgur.com/Sd2EoMY.jpg[/t] Onwards for Windshade! [t]http://i.imgur.com/4vU7Vf6.jpg[/t] The Nuian guards made the usual incompetent observation. [t]http://i.imgur.com/4MqzNe5.jpg[/t] We then conquered the public farms of Windshade. [t]http://i.imgur.com/F6MRUTJ.jpg[/t] Trying to escape proved a bit more difficult [t]http://i.imgur.com/nIYKBv2.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/eXqKH9E.jpg[/t] Some lowly peasants questioned our competence [t]http://i.imgur.com/ddqB4gY.jpg[/t] Then it happened. We had found our goal [t]http://i.imgur.com/1n7FRJ7.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/vIYrmwK.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/KmYzjhb.jpg[/t] We found a mountain to climb [t]http://i.imgur.com/KvzeOJr.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/RCEsHpy.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/dVgO0do.jpg[/t] A close up of our heroes. [t]http://i.imgur.com/gBJ50mF.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/BIVeZVv.jpg[/t] Then we saw it....

[t]http://i.imgur.com/gToWZdd.jpg[/t]

Went on an ill conceived voyage and got ganked, leading to 7 hours and 13 minutes in prison. Proceeded to break out and then noticed that I had accrued an additional 51 crime points, so I went to a war zone, got killed, and showed up in trial again! Threw the jury for a loop, but they powered through their confusion to give me 24 more minutes of jail time.

[QUOTE=Xavith;45653939]Let me tell you a tale, of The Great Wizard Gildart, and his captain, Paddeh The Flatulent. [t]http://i.imgur.com/UamALNY.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Can you try harpooning the bottom of the air ship itself and see if the harpoon stays? If possible land a good angle.

Well I am in, took a lot longer to load than I expected so I want be able to make much gain on levels tonight. Character name Orangecircle.

This is how you do trade runs. ( and maybe transport illegal aliens to Nuia ) [URL=http://imgur.com/fQIEgwf][img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/fQIEgwf.jpg[/img_thumb][/URL]

Roughly what point am I likely to make my ship? And a glider? I'm only up to level 13 right now.

So apparently you can't use print screen to take pictures when you're in DX9 mode, but if you use DX11 there's a memory leak :tinfoil: What's a good way to take screenshots?

I'm only up to level 13 right now.[/QUOTE] By the end of the story you will have enough Gilda stars, and probably more than 3 gold. From there you're only limited by the resources you can get, probably lumber for the most part.

So, just to be sure. Anyone who is on alpha and is not in the guild, yet wants to be in the guild, can you please post your name?

[QUOTE=Usernameztaken;45654624]So, just to be sure. Anyone who is on alpha and is not in the guild, yet wants to be in the guild, can you please post your name?[/QUOTE] Could use an invite, IGN same as FP name.

In regards to the harpoon on airship, it snaps almost immediately, we had to hit it several times mid air to get the air time we did.

[B]Killdozer's guide to enjoying jail:[/B] 1:Get yo stripey clothes and bobbleheads, then gtfo 2:You can still plant things, so go make a secret farm or maybe take that farm blueprint you've been sitting on and find a spot to put it 3: Go on a friend's ship, you won't be able to do shit, but at least you can tag along for fun And finally, do your crimes on a dedicated character. This way you can rack up tons of points, delete the character, and just spend a couple hours levelling a new one to 15. (This kind of hinges on getting a boost equipped glider easily, maybe you can mail one? I will have to investigate it)

This thread needs less pics & more videos. Especially for builds you enjoyed (both pve & pvp).

Do they wipe the beta characters before every session?

[QUOTE=Mislum;45656321]Do they wipe the beta characters before every session?[/QUOTE] Beta characters stay and will carry over to the next Beta phase. [editline]11th August 2014[/editline] I also tried fighting the Kraken at Sanddeep. [IMG_thumb]http://a.pomf.se/gwevah.jpg[/IMG_thumb] [IMG_thumb]http://a.pomf.se/tgrkzg.jpg[/IMG_thumb] [IMG_thumb]http://a.pomf.se/gladmx.jpg[/IMG_thumb] [editline]11th August 2014[/editline] In the last picture he just respawned immediatly after vanishing.

Do any of you guys know any easy way to gain leather and pelts? With cotton growing wildly and ore being in every cave and mountain, I seem to be kind of limited in ways to make leather armor.

Get a farm and raise goats.

Holy shit guys. I started with 45g I made last night from a lucky Moonpearl drop, and after three and a half straight hours of auction house trading now have 133 gold plus around 144 gold worth of items listed (all drastically undercut). I think I'm going to buy a nice farm with this if it all pans out well and get a reliable source of income to supplement my day trading. I've also broken 10k proficiency in both Mining and Masonry.

Hah, I legitimately haven't the faintest clue what I'm doing when it comes to crafting. Crafting is just never a thing I get in to in MMOs, but there is a much greater emphasis on it in this one.
