Horizons Poll and a Self Intro
Tuesday, December 9th, 2003 - 2:36pm
Hello all, new to the community so this is an intro and a poll to see who is playing Horizons.
Myself, I've been a gamer for 20+ years. I've been an exclusive PC gamer for the past 5 years. I love MMO's, fantasy RP, and FPS game types. I'm wanting to get into a console system but as of yet have been too engrossed in my PC games. 
I'm getting ready to go purchase Horizons. Myself and about 17 others have been anxiously awaiting the full release of this for a while now. I just hope the promises of added content and features are upheld or we may be disappointed.
Is anyone else playing Horizons. We've got a good following from our player association in SWG and some people from DaOC and Evercrack that are going to be playing on the Shadow Shard. If anyone is playing and wants to group up with some mature fun players give myself a tell. Character name will be Sydhart, a surly, gruff, but good natured fun loving dwarf.

"Toss me! But don't tell the elf."
I''m thinking about picking it up myself

Looks like ""wait and see"" is a popular (and wise) decision. We may be getting a review copy of it but I just can''t swing buying it myself right now so close to Christmas.
Certis beat me to it. - Elysium
I''d just like to point out that launch is going well.
For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. ~Ron Shelton, Bull Durham, 1988
Played beta, and was distinctly unimpressed by it. Don''t have the time, money or inclination to play it, honestly.
MMO''s had better be top notch for me to play. I''m not wasting my time (usually takes alot) or money (usually costs quite a lot) otherwise.
I''m playing it. Not bad so far. Nice crafting system, although
I''m only level 4 in it, so it''s still ""new"". Seems busy, though.

Oh, forgot to say, I''m on Life shard. Drop a post if you want
to get together.
As Ulairi notes, performance is pretty good, and a nice lack
of bugs compared to some other starts I''ve seen. Still some
around, but manageable when they pop up. I''ve not seen
any gamekillers yet.

I couldn''t live with the textures not loading fast enough. Really bumbed me out and made it ugly.
Is that fixed yet?

That was fixed before the end of beta.
