Yeah yeah Mark, I pwn. A half second later I was healing Chris, the SS was just taken at a bad time. :p

[extremeLEGEND999]

i think justin is just a leecher :P

[Rampid_Justin]

i think justin is just a leecher :P

Haha, actually, I pulled agro during that fight because I was healing everyone else so much, and ended up not paying enough attention to my own health and died. Everyone got credit for the kill but me.. :(

[extremeLEGEND999]

lol so doesn't that mean you have to kill him again?

[Rampid_Justin]

lol so doesn't that mean you have to kill him again?

Correct. So I've gotta get them all to get back in game so we can kill a mob they won't get credit for.. you can see why I was mad I died! LOL

[extremeLEGEND999]

dang man that sucks good luck with that

[madmuis]

Correct. So I've gotta get them all to get back in game so we can kill a mob they won't get credit for.. you can see why I was mad I died! LOL

[extremeLEGEND999]

the game will be out soon enough i can assure you that lol and then all of our waiting will be answered

[McEntire]

I can't wait for it to come out, looks awesome. Where can I find info on it, like do we have to pay to DL it and such? Cause I played WoW for many years and I can't wait to play CoP. Wish I had been around when beta first came out. :D

Edit: Nvm, I found everything I needed. :)

[ajbeat]

Send that Beta my way. kthanksdoll

[xscooby]

Hey Justin, lets get a opinion from you, since your one of the ones who played CoP recently, how good do you think, if it went in stores, or more advertised, how good do you think it'll hold up? Is it like a mini WoW, since it was definately in as much development longer than WoW, do you compare it to other similar games, any goodies and baddies about it. Please help us out! :D

[J4n1]

I'm not Justin but: cannot really say untill the next beta but the previous betas were really addicting and well designed. The game does't offer as much content as wow, but hey a nice job with so small a development team! The social system and guild system bring something new compared to WoW and other games out there. They have done a lot of developing and added more content so we'll see when the beta comes out. (any updates on that rampid guys?)

The combat system is totally changed now so looking forward to testing it. The previous combat system didn't leave almost any space for tactics, it was about doing the same things.

[RuffNecK]

sick never looked at cop before
im really gonna play cop when it`s get out

hope its soon !!

what kinda characters can you pick from in most screen shot all i see is normal ppl
but can you also pick from like monsters etc ?

[calard]

this looks so sweet. Are there limits to the size of parties?

[RuffNecK]

don't forget to answer my question above admins when ever you see this in lets say 1 year

[extremeLEGEND999]

don't forget to answer my question above admins when ever you see this in lets say 1 year

the admins read pretty much all the post they just don't have time to answer every single one and ones that are pointless to answer. they can't and probably wont give us an exact date becasue if they find more bugs and they say a certain day they dont want everyone jumpen on there backs for it. and no i do not believe you can choose monsters just humans as of right now

[Ferocity]

Right now just humans, its more of an art hurdle to get more "races" or "monsters" to play in any game. You would have to make each piece of armor for each model etc. it gets very expensive! We just had a great in office test this week though with no server crashes for the whole week ( or at all for that matter ). We've been really pleased with the direction the game is going in right now. With the addition of another programmer recently everything should be perfect for the large scale open beta that we've been itching to do. Look foward to more info this week!

[extremeLEGEND999]

theres an update for ya

[calard]

we wouldn't mind having limited classes/mobs as long as we can play. you could just add them in an update. also, will we download a patch from the site or will there be an auto updater?

[Ferocity]

When there is a new patch available, it will tell you when you goto connect to the servers then it will download the patch. you might have to double click on it after or something? but thats not really a part of the game we have focused on, if its a problem for people to patch, which it hasn't been so far it would be a really quick fix.

That sounds pretty easy.

[extremeLEGEND999]

we shall see when the game opens up.

[calard]

I guess it doesn't matter how good the update system is as long as the updates are kept down to one/maybe two a week. If it was daily updates then that would suck if the updating process was slow.

[extremeLEGEND999]

well the way i herd they are doing it is there getting the first 2 zones done for use to play and as we are playing them they are finishing up the other zone as we continue

[calard]

sounds like a good plan. Why bother delaying the whole thing for content we wont even see for a while.

[Rampid_Justin]

You guys pretty much nailed it on the head. Although there is TONS of content in the game, the majority of the work is making sure the first two zones are working 100% and have a good amount of "polish" to them.

The game is really turning out fun. Can't wait to play with everyone!

[madmuis]

I can't wait to pwn justin in CoP :D

[extremeLEGEND999]

i just can't wait till i pwn anything lmao :D

[calard]

AHHH ITS GONNA BE SO SWEET. plz just come out...

[calard]

How many servers will be up at launch? and also, how man characters can you have on one server? or on all servers?

[ajbeat]

One server.

5-6 characters (Guess)

[calard]

One server.

5-6 characters (Guess)

you think 5-6 people on one server or on all servers combined?

[J4n1]

Its about 100-300 per server according to last info I heard.. It's not 5-6 people per server lol. That doesnt make any sense :D.

edit: Any change that the 2 first zones are up and running this week? Rampid guys? :)

[Rampid_Justin]

He didn't mean the amount that the server can handle, but the amount we're going to restrict you too.

I'd guess it would be somewhere around 5, but who knows.

In terms of releasing it this week; no chance. We've still got a lot of work to be done before we release the beta and things have been popping up (ideas, bugs, etc) that weren't expected. Better to get them now than later though! :D

[madmuis]

Justin who is Schwein anyway? I bet it is PureMisery :p

[Rampid_Misery]

Justin who is Schwein anyway? I bet it is PureMisery :p Why do you act mentally challenged on the forums?

[Fabar]

Hey everyone, just hopping in to try and answer a few of the questions mentioned in this thread and give you some updates.

There are currently only humans available to choose from, male or female. Adding additional races into the game is something that we'd most likely do in future content updates/expansions.

We haven't discussed yet how many characters we'll allow per account, however the way it is currently you can have I believe up to 8 characters on 1 account. This could change at any time.

As far as updates are concerned, although we haven't laid out the exact time line and schedule for maintenance and content updates, I'd imagine it'd be done on at least a weekly basis. Obviously if we find a critical bug that is detrimental to the balance and game play and felt it necessary to do so, we'd bring the servers down to fix it and have them back up as soon as possible.

We're very close to reaching a comfortable level where we feel we're ready to open the public beta and have everyone start exploring the game world. Some bugs have popped up in a few places that are currently being fixed and we're enhancing some areas of content that we feel will improve the game play in those zones. Just a lot of last minute details and loose ends that we're trying to tie up before we get this thing rolling live.

Crowns of Power will be an ever evolving world with content updates and new features being added in during the life of the game, much the same way that Outwar works. We'll be counting on the users to provide feedback that can help us continue to enhance and add additional content to the game that will promote PvP as well as PvE. We have many exciting things planned already that will be implemented over time and will always be looking for ways to improve the experience everyone has in CoP.

[madmuis]

Why do you act mentally challenged on the forums?
I'm sorry didn't mean it like that, but who are you on cop then? :)

[calard]

Do you guys have a release date estimate?

[Trauma~]

Delorean powah FTW~!

Care to do this some more?

Its been over 2 years. What do you consider the future for this game?

Based on recent admins activity. It is hard to believe that weekly updates and maintence was even in the staffs consideration. What the hell changed?

Well, you have left evolution at a stand still it seems.
And users feedback? Seems the feedback gets ignored and the ignorance gets answered.
Promote pvp and pve? I'm waiting.
Based on the recent quitting rate, the experience obviously has not improved.


Way to drop the bar fabar. Post filled with false hopes and promises it seems. Its a shame you were unable to actually follow through with your claims. This game may have been something.


Yay trauma for resurrecting the dead. I wish I had a cookie for you.

i lol'd at this one. recent admin activity? ive never seen weekly updates. although when i first started playing the updates were much faster. and by faster i mean done.

[Vigor]

Lmao..

Torax was perhaps the ONLY admin this game ever had that knew what they were doing.. these were the good old days before he abandoned cop and left it up to *******es who had no clue.

[xShinOrochix]

just seeing this makes me wanna cry :(
