Sorry guys. If I get an extra code, I will let you all know.

I never tried to run the bench mark to see if my PC would run it.

Check out the recomended specs on this game. You are needing a beefy machine to run the recomended stuff. Although, some are saying this runs ok and still looks good with some of the stuff turned down.

The people saying they run at max settings are using at least a GTX660ti 3g or GTX670. Some people are still reporting frame rate issues even though they have a GTX680.

An i7-3770k clubs this score out of the park.

Well the open beta runs from 8/17-8/19. Early access will get you another 3 days. If you made it into phase 3 you get to log in on 8/16.

6-7 days does not supprise me given that they are not wiping.

Ok, I am into the early release and my first report is mixed. The game has great sound, story, graphics and gameplay. Everything you want in a high fantasy MMO is what you get. It combines alot of great mechanics. The interface works smoothly. Using a controler is a snap but you still need a KB. Questing is made easy with a dungeon/mission/quest finder tool. You can solo in this game unlike FFXI.

 

It is a really good game, when you can actually log in and play. The launch, of course, is plauged with errors. One prevents you from getting to the boot up queue. Another knocks you out of the game and leaves your toon "logged in" so you get the "you are already logged in error" when you try to log back in. Another error prevents you from accessing the American/EU servers. I can think one of crashes the client when you access the dungeon/quest/mission finder thingy. Oh, yes then there is the one that crashes the client when you zone or trigger a cut scene(my personal favorite). That last one got me 2 times for the rest of the day each time. I got a patch from M$ but was unable to try it out. See the first error I listed...

 

I am sure they will hammer out these problems. It may take them a month to stabilize the issues. Once you are in though, the game runs smoothly. Just don't zone or try to find your next quest.^^
