Ah yes, the long past days of asherons call...damn I miss that game.

I can't really remember how many people would usually be in the AC world..around 2-5k per server or so? Well the devs kinda messed up by only opening 2 servers for the first week or so of PS so basically Emerald and Markov are severely overpopulated at the moment, usually they exceed 3-4 thousand during peak hours.

Besides being a very repetitive game (ie. find a base to hack, hack it, wait 15 minutes, repeat), its pretty fun...

Tribes 2 is a comparable game, minus the HORRIBLE HORRIBLE launch bugs Tribes 2 had....

This game is nothing like Asheron's Call. But I think that's a very, very good thing.

Thanks guys, honestly, this is one of the most classy boards I have seen in a while...

The physics? Gravity doesn't apply to bullets, but it does apply to everything else. The gravity on Auraxis is pretty low while you are falling, but you aren't able to jump much higher than knee level. You can slide down huge hills like Tribes, but you have no jumpjets that allow you to go up.

I heard it was something like Halo, but I don't even own an Xbox.

I think Markov, the prime west coast server, never really gets overloaded, but it does have a fair number of people on it. Emerald is the only overloaded server.

It's a bit like Halo when re: damage takes when falling.

However one can't jump as high and one can't flip vehicles that have tipped over. (Which'd be nice to do.)

Order it online and put the money saved towards a subscription.

Pay $10 more to get it a day early - or put that $10 saved towards a months' worth of play.
