Was anyone able to register without getting the error of "Username already exists"? And hows the CB? Is it better then the GnG CB?

Looks like I'm in... Server is down a lot but I got to play, the game has less bugs now~ It's a lot better than what it used to be...
The main bugs I see now are text mistakes, typos, and bugged quests... Looks like running is fixed, as well as fighting... They need to add more game settings though, you can only change sound options and you're forced to play in window mode~

The game is doing well for a closed BETA,

I preferred the old rates to the new ones, but whatever.

Hmm is it worth trying again then?

Its hard to say...:-/
Since, Reality Gap is a new online company they're still figuring things out. They don't even have a forums yet.

This was from the Monato Esprit fansite; an open letter from the CEO of Reality Gap to his team.

We need to continue the process of learning to how to be an online game company. We need to create Policies and Procedures with capital letters and everything. Things like taking the servers down and putting them back up all need to be done according to Policies with specific people responsible for specific things.

We also need to pay attention to the community and keep them fat and happy. Above all we need to be pro.

Let me lay out some thoughts:

1. The game has too many INCOMPLETE features to be public. This is NOT open beta.
2. Most significantly METATIX don't work at all the way they are planned to work yet.
3. We lose credibility if players think our close beta is fake or easily gamed.
4. We need to STOP letting newbs into the game. Only seniors from MEO should have gotten in.
5. It is reasonable to let the remaining MEO seniors in.
6. We need to learn who the community leaders are and pay attention to who's who.
7. We need to create community automatic regulating features: like ebay's seller's ratings.
8. We need to have a PERSONAL relationship with EVERY SINGLE closed beta player.
9. We want about 500 players maximum. More than that is too much this early.
10. Although knowledge spreads amongst the players like wildfire, we need to provide the official info centrally.
11. In particular, we should have told them how to switch from full screen to windowed!
12. We need to practice being up CONTINUOUSLY.
13. We have about 90 days before we expect up to 100,000 open beta players.
14. We need BetaTIX working by then.
15. We need Rides, Consignment Stores, Quests working with BetaTIX by then.
16. We have about 180 days before we expect up to 1,000,000 golden launch players.
17. We need credit card processing bullet-proof by then.
18. We need customer service for cc processing bullet-proof by then.
19. We need to remember that this is a worldwide launch, not an America-only launch.
20. We need a user-accessible bug-reporting system tied to a bug-correcting policy.
21. We need to understand why posting this publicly was appropriate.
22. We need to engage the community in what we're doing. This is their game, not ours. We're just the host.
23. We need to remember that the community is ready and willing to provide a wide variety of help, not just gm'ing.
23. We need to provide fun community features on our home page.
24. We need to create IR and PR hooks.
25. We need to create the public face of Reality Gap.

There's probably another hundred thoughts I could put on there, but I need to go to a conference now. To those of you seeing this on MEO, your input is valued. To those of your who work for the company, your input is mandatory... ;-)

Thanks,
MikeW


I highly suggest to wait till they sort things out.

what are the rates? are they easier to lvl now? is running faster?

I do know for a fact that the running is fixed. The rates are slightly lower...although Reality Gap specifically stated that they weren't dealing with unbalance and issues of that genre for the time being. They don't care how fast you level at the moment; that will come later =).

They're probably going to ask for CB tester imput on the rates.

game blows

This game is bad. Just DON'T play it.

You could be a bit more respectful about it. I dislike Mabinogi, but I wouldn't go about rudely in a mabinogi thread. It's just not for me. You're just asking for flames by posting a message that has no use in this thread. If you offered reasons perhaps... People come to this thread to discuss monato esprit, and not to bad mouth it.

Anyways, the closed beta is going to last just about three months, and the open beta for another 3... for those don't know.

edit: that was directed to the post above Koga.. :P

Wow thats the first open letter i've seen in a while. Looks they really care about the game and the players. Nice.

:)

willing to give the game another chance, but i will wait till open beta~

can someone plz link the website i know (lazy kid) thank u

Is there a way for me to play now how can i get in Cb? or can anyone give me ur CB account if their not playing anymore?
Thank you

It is too early to judge the game. Letting people into the private beta who werent even old Monato players was an oversight.
The game needs fixing, thats why they have us private beta testers. When the game is officially open other people can go play and judge it, but don't open your traps just yet, still a lot of work to be done before the game is presentable.

It keeps saying my account doesn't exist even though I got accepted.

This game is bad. Just DON'T play it.

Hey I like this game >.> For some reason I have the most fun in grinders xD

Just wondering, throwing rocks at dead bodies still gives exp? xD

lol, sadly no. That glitch was fixed even before I got on the first day of CB beta launch.

How sad =(. Waiting for it anyway.

Nice sig
On a serious note I'll give the game a chance before saying it sucks.

It could be very nice but i cant stand the grind in that game wich actually starts at lvl 4. Right now i am lvl 7 and need to kill mobs 2 lvls above me to get close to 1%XP per kill.

Anyways if you like massive grinding then you like this game

Does anyone have an account they they don't want to use that's acctivated ;x!
Mine are activated they just won't let me onnn

HONESTLY COMPADRE...

Its not about playing the game. The game is really incomplete, they are testing certain things before they add more content. They want to do this in a process. First kill the bugs that are currently in the game, than add more content and fix those new content bugs.

So unless you're serious about being a cb tester, and understand that the reasons behind cb testing is to help with bug findings and not worry about grind at this point in time, then I would suggest you wait until OB.

Which is only 3 months away :). (well said)
