Had an epic hour or so ingame. Made 3 blue shards, 250 planarite and 1 epic shard. 

Basically the Aelfwar started life rifts and invasions all over Silverwood and the Wardstones in Quicksilver College % Sanctum became Sanctified which gave them an npc army to defend them.

Players had to defeat all the rifts and lots of invasions before heading up to Overwatch Keep to kill Aelfwar Idols and the 3 Giant treants defending them - each had 140k hp, and took multiple raid groups to kill.  Was great fun, especially getting some coordination going.

Necros have a skeleton rogue (melee dps), tank, and skeleton mage (ranged dps).

Mage is pretty similar, Water pet is ranged dps with an interrupt I think.

Rangers get a boar (tank pet), dire wolf (dps), blood raptor (AE melee dps).

Beastmaster only gets one pet, but you can buff it to change it into tank or dps.

All pets have greater versions after ~20-24 points spent in the soul that scale past level 30 and have additional abilities.

Looks like the ports issue for BT has been sorted, thank fook for that! Hope it works.

Ped, had a right zone wide battle lastnight like the one you posted above. Was about 20 mins or so after you'd logged i think. Made me a load of planarite and an epic shard, despite being 10 levels below the epic mobs, dying over and over again and barely being able to hit them.

Also, I think the time may have come where Rift may need it's own section by the looks of it. Loads and lods of info for different stuff over 8 pages on this thread ;)

I'll wait till release.

Would be handy at that stage, even if we are off playing with another group, I do feel this MMO may stand the test of time, but we shall see ;)

The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

that would be about the time the game became unplayable for me, couldnt get logged infor more than 30secs, skill lag, vendor lag and just general unresponsiveness, will try again today.
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)
