Greetings Friends and Enemies to Be!

My name is Vyr Vandalous and I welcome you!

I will once again make my name known to a new community and introduce those that are worthy to become members of The Shadow Empire!

About Me: I have Beta tested many games of mmorpg and rpg origin.

Guild Philosophy: We are family... we are brothers and sisters... those in our ranks we treat as such and those not amongst us are considered the weak and foolish for daring to oppose us.

History of Guild Leadership: I have led many guilds over many games. Ultima Online and Dungeons & Dragons Online. Age of Conan PvP Server where I had over +1000 Members. (Not multi toon accounts but separate accounts). I have played old school D&D and finished/beaten every D&D rpg game on PC that there is.

If you wish to join then make a posting here. This is an Elite Power Players Guild here. We work hard, we pull together as a team and we plunder and pillage and loot anyone that gets in our way.

We do have a Code of Honor but that is reserved only for our own Kin.

Have a good day! >=)

Good Day Folks!

For those of us who have upgraded our systems for the upcoming Alpha 1 test and beyond I would be curious to learn what types of systems this game is going to be tested on.

I myself used to be a Computer Engineer For Hewlett Packard so I went pretty crazy on my latest system build. Mind you that for what I had spent on this.... I could have done much better had I been American as we Canadian's pay much more for our parts than our neighbors do.

If you care to contribute or share your specs please do so!

Look forward to seeing you all in game!

My Specs:.......

Asus ROG Claymore Mechanical Keyboard Cherry Red with Optional Numberpad:

Asus ROG Spatha Mouse:

Asus Centurion 7.1 True Surround Headset:

Asus ROG Zenith Extreme Motherboard:

Asus PG258Q 240HZ Refresh Rate + G-Sync:

Asus Strix GTX 1080TI O/C Edition Card:

TridentZ Memory (16 Gigs Total)

AMD Threadripper 16 Core:

Cosmos II Case:

I do not have a camera but I have done alot of custom work to the system as well. I ordered the clear acrylic
panel from MNPCTECH and got some ROG Overkill Fan Grills for it. Plus some other RBG Lighting and front
panel compartments.. the usual dvd-r player and took kit box and such. Fan header extension cards, M.2 Drives,
SSD Drives.. so forth.

I would be interested in seeing what systems other people are running. I do also have a huge tv connected but I am waiting
for the BFGD Display from Asus to come out. It's like 65 inches of screen with G-Sync at 120 Hz which should be very cool to see.

@Meiki Then I best be careful lest I incur your wrath eh?

I am anything but lazy... I learn/research all of the time.. but this is not a court of law.

It was a generalization and there is nothing wrong with that. I used google.. yes.. then I replied in what I believed to be
a semi-humorous manner in reply.

Blame the Government!.. Blame Canada!.. that sorta thing.

Yes.. I am Canadian...

And you really do need to relax more.

It's not always what you say but how you say it. I myself am here for a fun time and to meet friends and I am not going to spend hours defending each of my posts which you seem to radically be following and consistently commenting negatively upon.

Relax.. lets have some beers and watch some Hockey eh?

Cheers Folks.

This game really does have some incredible possibilities. I know the devs are working hard and doing their best.

I cannot understand why the funding is not much higher than it already is. I myself have been working hard to pass
this game information onto my friends so they know about it.

The average person in the EU Lands makes 38k EU a year. 38k X 7 Staff Members = 266k. and they have only raised 145 EU thus far. I personally think they should be over the 2-3 million Euro point by now.

And that is only 1 year of wages let alone the following years to come needed to support this game. While I do appreciate how players here want to avoid the pay-to-win thing which does ruin alot of games I think the dev's should consider more broader means to generate funds to support the game and just let the community deal with it.

Someone Once Said: Your Honor has a price knight?... And the Knight Replied: Honor does not fill my belly nor shoe my horse.

We all live in the real world here and we all need to support ourselves. I think options such as Auctions and some more pay options should be included here in the game in order to ensure it's long term survival.

@VyrVandalous Taking average income of an EU citizen is real blasphemy. If you really wanted to compare and to calculate it, you should have at least taken an average salary of an Italian developer, which is around 25k€ a year, I really wonder where you got that 38k€, as even in Germany it is only slightly above 37k€ so the average for EU lands is much, much lower. Hell, if you ever went out of your way to make some information collecting before putting out such a blasphemous claims, you would have known that averages in salary in the EU are right-skewered, i.e. over 50% of people earn much less than the average.

Blasphemy?

Perhaps it is.. but blame Google.

I simply put in average EU yearly income and that is what it gave me

So blame not me for this mighty transgression but blame the corporations!.. Blame the media outlets!.. Blame the
Military Industrial Complex! =D

@Tuoni Ty Good Sir.

I am happy to see that idea's and concepts "Can" flow freely here on the forums without extreme overthinking
or criticality.

If you need a Guild look me up.. We would be honored to count you among us.

I agree

I love the program myself. I have been spreading word to my friends to join it as well. I get a new / old friend to join every few days as they are hard to track down from the old days but I am working at it. I got one to join just today as well.

I also have all the needed 'tech' to host a professional youtube channel myself on it when Alpha 1 comes out and I was seriously thinking of doing this.

Maybe they are running out of ideas for rewards? I'm not sure...

Good Day Folks!

My name is Vyr and I am the community leader here for The Shadow Empire Guild.

We here have high hopes for this upcoming game and wish to begin "Talks" with those here who may be interested in an Alliance.

Yes our profile does say "Human" but we are also covering all 3 of the realms as well. We would be interested in speaking with those who wish to open up a Diplomatic Dialogue with us here to secure treaties in Peace, Warfare, Trade and Various Non-Aggression Pacts for this upcoming game.

If you also feel you have an idea to offer up to better strengthen our mutual Alliances please bring your idea's to the table. You can reach us on Discord here: https://discord.gg/3Xn3FEc

Please message me: Vyr Vandalous and in your inital message state to me that it is regarding a potential Alliance and we can talk and work out a mutual agreement with all parties involved.

Thank-You

@VyrVandalous I blame your lack of cyberliteracy. Whatever is on the internet does ought to be truth. But in case of salaries you can for example use the Statistical Agencies of the countries you are interested in. Google also could provide the highest yearly income in the EU for you, which would be either Swiss or one of the nordic countries, where the salaries are pretty high, but so are also the costs of the living there. I am not sure whether you are from any of the EU, but if you were, common sense is also a pretty good lead. I would for example struggle with analyzing the data of the US or any american country, the same goes for Asia, as I have no experience living there, so I can only imagine whether the society there is really so right-skewered as it is here. But as capitalistic approach is pretty widespread I think the idea is basically the same. The poor are getting poorer each year and the rich richer and so the difference became from a simple line, through a hole into an abyss.

@Prometheus I would supp Jetah and Pluto on this, previews of the cosmetic items would be pretty neat. At the same time, if you were to either refund dynamight gold spent during the testing, or put a discount like 20% or even more and that everyone keeps the cosmetics they purchase during the testing phases, it should also bring in some more money to the project. And as promised, if I get my annual bonus and if it is high enough I am going for the Creator pledge, but I doubt that it will be enough Maybe only if my currency got extremely powerful and the conversation rate was more in favour

You are Over Reacting and being a Drama Queen.

I have a "Forum" Idea.. but it is something you have not considered.. to raise more money.. You have high tier packages for the 3 realms.. but what about the Asteroid? Create an even higher tier package for that to add to the Store. Some features could be: Special Star Metal Anvil...Name The Asteroid..... when that asteroid comes into formation with a constellation... and lines up perfectly... it opens a portal to the asteroid... the semantics of this might be silly on my part.. but hopefully the idea of it is relayed.

Just a thought/concept. Let me know what you think folks.

Vyr

Sure, why not? Daily Post.. but when is it going up to Chest level 400? as mentioned before? Need a reason here to keep coming back while waiting.

Cheers
