very interested in the game, watch alot of reviews and it feels good, definitely has teh RO feelings of grinding, but since its very massive scale, they didnt have the complete open world like RO but instead many of the bosses are quest/party/dungeon but still has open world boss with each type of bosses dropping different types of loots.

there is also card system but its for collection, gems will be used to attached to equipment.

INT release will be same as KOR release, its very rare for Korean game, but it is happenning!

estimated time for open beta would be next year somewhere jan/feb if i guess correctly.

indon server will probably be locked to only indon players and wont be on steam.

the one on steam is international and they will use amazon web service which is based in united states, ping will still be manageable through different redirects of connecting all around the world.

the thing is, RO was out when we were all young, and it was the first mmo that most people have played, and the kind of grinding, with those monster cards as well as alot of attractive items, and all the mechanics like PVP and guild wars, kinda made many people playing for very long.

however, now as we have all grown up, you just cannot expect to have the feeling that RO gave you when we all first played in mRO or taiwan RO, we are all grown and more exposed to different genres and also all kinds of trash mmorpg. Most mmos now dont last very long, and most of us have very short attention span for the games (i basically play alot of mmorpgs but i quit most of them after 1/2/3/4 months (wildstar, guild wars 2, swordman online CN, etc).

I dont expect tree of saviors to provide me the feeling i had with RO (i played RO for good 3 years from 2003 to 2006), the day where you party with friends, hunting mvps, botting 24/7, attending guild wars weekly are simply nostalgic and sweet and no other games can ever replicate it, because RO was one of the first few mmos that came to Malaysia (before RO, many people played RYL, Shen Online TW, Jin Yong Online) but what was the best? RO for sure, due to its rewarding experience (open world, card drop, MVP monster, rare items, guild wars, fun pvp). No other games can replicate, even tree of saviour is going instance based and not following RO full open world concept due to most modern mmos now using channel system and also to increase the capacity [if open world like RO, each server can take only more or less 3500 players], and open world thrives on non-channel based server.

back then we all have lower expectations, and RO was really well made and not just some random clones. But after the mmo market bloomed, many clones came out, many different mmos invaded the market, giving us a luxury of choices and most of them don't last very long due to pay to win nature, and the free to play model.

i still wish ToS could go subscription based, but with cash shop (even cosmetics), the game is gonna hit hard by macro bots (macros aren't really detected, things like macrogoblin which you pay $20 per year could easily allow you to set up bot in every game and will go undetected. I heard the dev actually develops their own gameguard and I hope they can at least combat huge amount of bots due to the free to play nature.

Where to apply for the key?

thanks, its really "open" beta now

they didnt mention abt data wipe usually. they will only announce if they will wipe in the next beta if there is one.

for example, the icbt1 data wipe announcement was made few days ago when they announced icbt2.

but as this is just beta, they surely will wipe, as there is still a lot of balancing issue such as centurion being removed completely from the game due to the class being almost impossible to balance properly.

already installed, can launch but cannot enter server

any of you who want to play together u can join steam group, easier to invite party or group chat.

from what i heard, for most international server, amazon web service has different nodes in differnt location in the world which ultimate redirects back to the main ip, resulting in better ping if you are not from us east, which is whether their main server is located.

time broadband 283 ms.

all 3 servers ip address

http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/52.20.66.199
http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/54.88.25.242
http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/52.2.37.158

all hosted in virginia

serious? ahhaha, he has special access as part of imcgame promotional effort

they uses openid from google/fb so its all based on the country code of your google account / fb.

you can drop email to tos and tell them you are from malaysia and that they did some mistake for not issuing you the beta key.

of course they will join, there is no local release for phillipines.

US, china, south american, indonesia cannot join only.

use this to test ping.

US players can, only south american cannot as they hv local publisher, typed too fast, lol

anyone play in cbt1 can commend about 280ms? does it affect alot?

guess they wanna stress test one server and see how far it can be pushed, if cannot bear the amount of incoming data they will probably open up few more servers

both the servers were down right after the update.

now they are up again so we will see 3 servers instead of 1.

the patch is to ensure that people from prohibited countries cannot play even if they obtained their beta keys from other users or fake ip. "vpn"

again back to 1 server

i think your korean friend should be able to play with malaysia/sg vpn. unless the patch installs something on those restricted ips to blocks all connections when cbt2 starts, then even vpn would not help already

16 mins hype!!!!! spam connect!!!

server is up!
