See ya back here after 30 minutes of playing when you ask yourself why you thought this would be a good idea. Nostalgia sounds great, and last 30 minutes, but wains fast when you see the graphics.

Yeah...I'm sorta downscoping my expectations in prep for this 8bit graphics world.
Might be fun for a night to build a wholly new guy, and start from scratch. No help. Pick up apples and crap, and buy some beginner armor. Work my way up, go get a green mire cuirass. I'm sorta excited actually.
Otherwise, it's just 12 dollaz for a brief trip back in time, and I now have a downloaded and patched AC client on my new PC for the next time I get nostalgic a couple years hence.

I have tried this on a few games and then always ask myself wtf I was thinking. At least I become spoiled with new graphics and engines and going back is like playing minecraft.

I know. I mean, I never played Minecraft but I gotcha. I stuck around AC for a lot longer than most, so maybe my tolerance for lesser graphics is in play.

Ok, managed to remember way to the bottom of Hub. No portals, wtf? 
Started clicking through my portals, went to Monkey Island. There was a portal there to some town place. That took me to Hebian. That was nice.
So far, I really hate not being able to change my view using my mouse. Des told me the view can be changed using the center mouse button, but I tried that and it is really clumsy.

I went to make a noob, and made an olthoi instead. That was retarded, so waiting on him to tiem out so I can make another newbie (no other open slots).
I did manage to find the change mouse look axis, so that helps some in making my camera point of view a bit better.

the portal town network thing is super cool.
I stood around like a moron trying to figure out why I couldn't buy tapers with my trade notes. Then I remembered I had to unstack them, and coulnd't figure out how to do that. The only assistance I have used is a stack of like 10 M notes so my guy could buy a foci and get port recall. Got him to 22 doing those quests in that quest dungeon...Portal House or whatever it is.

Enjoy the boring! Its great starting out again as a noob, but how many times is enough? Then, when you hit the maximum level and cap out, there's really no good end-content. Just more grind. Newer content is absolutely boring and nothing challenging.

yeah but its fun right now and that's all the 13 bucks was meant to do so money well spent. Especially if they are going to change the game drastically.
I did LOL when I set the graphics to "very high" and it had the balls to warn me that I was going to be using the "high-res" texture pack.

I agree. Retro is very chic right now. Hell, look at Minecraft. I am starting to run into some hurdles. Was pretty challenging doing some of those dungeons last night. I mean, I was buffed by a bot, so that wasn't an issue. I mean without www.acmaps.com up and running, navigation was hard. The AC Wiki says stuff like, "Take ramp 6 on the AC Maps map # 'x'", and you're like going wtf. The dungeons that require multiple levers take some time.
I did end up training Item magic so I can at least portal recall. Saved some additional running.
My minor problems have included:
Took over an hour for me to figure out how to split a stack of anything. How embarrassing.
I'd forgotten that trade notes have to be exchanged for pyreals to buy stuff. That is dumb and could be upgraded without a tech change.
No mail. Gah....8 years or so after leaving AC, and still drop muling, sweating bullets someone will steal my l33t gear while I'm logging in and out.
Mini maps or dungeon maps. C'mon turbine...throw up a friggin map of a dungeon already.
I think my swordie is getting high enough sword skill to merit an imbued weapon. Do those still exist? Is an AR still the best for solo play over all weapon? Is it worth the money to begin resubbing my other accounts until I can either off-load an already imbued sword, or enough MMDs to buy one in the market place?
Does the market place still exist?
Friends list. Ok Turbine...really....this should span an account.
Thanks for the fun AC!! I'll be back tonight!

Also, isn't there some sort of anti-aliasing or something? I cranked all my graphics settings to max and it made my landscape turn grey. No roads...no paths....no grass.....just grey featureless moonscape.

Yeah. Gonna drop it all back to zero tonight and then slowly bring it back up. My PC is a Dell, and is 8 months old. I forget what video card it has, but it was the best they offered at the time.
