No way thats going to be an Australian place, or a city, as its clearly an island in some foreign country.

You have too many [quote] bars in your text. A single bar of quote only needs to be encapsulated by [.quote.="Username"] and then [/.quote.], ignoring the extra dots.

^ i'm guessing that in your profile, you've unchecked a few boxes.
"Always allow BBCode:"
and
"Always enable Smilies:"
to be specific.
otherwise, nfi.
EDIT: actually, on Editing it, i saw that underneath the text box when you're writing a post, you had 2 boxes checked:
"Disable BBCode in this post"
"Disable Smilies in this post"
un-check these next time you post.

i didn't actually change any of the text, so while this is often the case, it wasn't here.

It really is a shame, I stand by the game having massive potential. If only the 'Age of the Chosen' content had been available from the get-go, it may have reviewed better and therefore sold more...
I don't know what their strategy is, but hopefully it works out for them... it's never good to see an Aussie developer clutching at straws.

Especially a game that truly did not deserve to flop like this.
I really, really like Fury. I might not play it much due to time constraints, but what's there is fun and a purely enjoyable experience. Auran deserved at least some form of success.

Wow.
That's terrible news.
To put so much time money and effort into something, and to get to a point where it's deemed worthless.
That's not good at all

I feel really bad for them  .
That has to be a killing blow for a company - no profit made at all.
They should of just made Dark Reign 3.

well, from what i understand, the retail version will now be how to be an "Immortal" where all the freeloaders will be the "Heroes".
so buying the physical game offers benefits in-game.

Actually, my understanding from the above report...
| Quote: | | "Most importantly, the content patch will include a new player category called "Chosen" alongside the existing "Hero" and "Immortal" subscription types. The new "Chosen" player type will be free to download from the developer's Web site and play, and gives access to all game modes and weapons as well as 400 abilities that can be unlocked by playing. Gamers will be able to upgrade their account status to one of the higher levels by purchasing a box copy of the game from Australian retailers"] |
So I guess freeloaders are 'Chosen', and then retail copies are 'Hero' as usual, and then people that subscribe are 'Immortal'. That's how I interpret it, anyway.

Just received my copy. I am not a PC Gamer and am not sure if my specs are up to it. When I try to install it crashes every time. Could anyone tell me is this because My specs may not be up to task?
Regardless thanks Palgn and Auron, if the game doesn't work for me I have a friend who would love it so it would make a good present.

What are your specs teashades? The game uses UE3, but lists an ATI Radeon 9600 (non XT or Pro) as the minimum GPU needed.

It is the graphics card yeah. As I said I am not very computer literate and I just found out what my graphics card is. Its and 9250 model, so not good enough.
Thanks anyway, I guess i will give the game to my friend....
