I've also learned that you can buy some in-game assests using credit cards, but that is to be expected.

According to what I've read on the the game forums, after the beta phase is over, you will lose a ton of stuff that you gathered but you will retain your account and character stats.

It runs great on my iMac! I played for like 10 minutes last night, briefly saw crackdude. I'll have to play more this weekend!

In the suggestion box, I requested that they do holiday events and SEGA inspired items. I'd happily buy an Eggman sword or a Space Channel 5 gun. They have the SEGA connection, might as well milk it for some nostalgia.

Wow, having quite a bit of fun with it.  Some lag on my end, and I don't know if having a Mac differs from a PC some, but all-in-all, it's great.  ...You can kind of feel the addiction creeping in.  :!:

Works flawlessly on my 2 macs.. It only fails to open up Firefox to buy Energy but wtv.

Saw Barry and Sharky there last night. Really fun game.
I find the whole Energy <=> Crowns trading thing very interesting. Too bad I don't have credit card or paypal. I don't want to pay by phone.. It's 4(!!!) times the price.

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011 ... -early.ars arstechnica is giving away spots, they are a pretty popular site though, so you'll need to act fast.

Edit: they have 500 spots, lol

Thanks for the signup link!  I like it so far.  Really cool art direction and music... I would like it to support a controller though.

There are Suggestion boxes littered around the game world, make a suggestion about it. It's a good idea!

I'd like to use my USB xbox360 controller!

In an e-mail I received yesterday from the developers, there is written that the game supports gamepad controls and the gamepad may be configured in the options menu, a mouse is however necessary for the user interface. Not yet tested by me.

The last night I played few hours and with my new SEGAbits nick "Deefy", in the game deefy, (I'm the old F-D_M), I encountered crackdude and Centrale.

I played about 10 minutes at work on a macbook pro, then on my TV on the mac mini.  On the Mac Mini the text was too small to play effectively on my TV.  I couldn't read the messages on the left or the guide messages on the signposts.

If anyone sees a Knight called "Cheeseburger" that would be me...

I really have been wanting to play this, but every time I try to sign in I get a screen with my character slots and some text on the bottom of my screen that says "Heading into town...". Any idea as to what I should do?

[crackdude]

Sanus, that happened to me before I opened up the firewall on my other computer.

[max_cady]

Got your invite. Accepted.

Been playing off and on since yesterday. A lot to figure out still, but I love it so far.

Now I'm using my X360 controller on my Macbook Pro! Hah!!!

I've already gone through the early training dungeons. I've recorded a ton of footage using FRAPS, I know they lifted the NDA restrictions, but I'm still coy about uploading it.

[Barry the Nomad]

Wait, is it possible to use a USB Saturn pad...

(goes to test it out)

I hope so, I just ordered one from ebay.

I've been able to move with the D-pad, but don't know how to map to the buttons. Wonder if its somewhere in system prefs rather than in the game itself.
