Drindin said : Fantastic News :cool: Opening Embers Adrift up to a large audience, and EA is not EA - but a full game, ready to go. The established friendly community should mean a happy experience for newbies. Totally pumped for Steam hordes... "The spirit of the people was rekindled when...

DeepSeek R1 chat is astonishing - https://www.deepseekr1.org/en (A little out of date here on Embers.) Very useful for a 2-page summary of things (not controversial topics though.) Even a sense of humour - I asked about the civil war with Sulla and Marius and it included this wry comment : "...

Gday Drifters :) DeepSeek is the thing this week - here is what it think of Embers Adrift - Embers Adrift is a community-focused MMORPG developed by Stormhaven Studios (formerly Saga of Lucimia team). It emphasizes old-school RPG mechanics, group dependency, and immersive exploration over...

Yup, I think Steam will be a success simply because of the numbers. E.g. Pantheon managed 78,000+ sales and 6,000+ online during the honeymoon. Embers may not have that cosmic level of hype, but it's largely complete - not an alpha filled with temporary place-holders in a cartoon world. While...

Great news, From the Ashes of DR, Embers Adrift will rise like the Phoenix. (Being sold down the Digital River has perhaps helped bring in players who heard the story. Quite a few newbies lately.) Steam should be a great boost for the game - and hopefully the established friendly community...

Sure, Pax Dei has some great points - perhaps I was a bit harsh : * the most beautiful huge open world I've ever explored - grassy fields, rocky outcrops, nooks and crannies, misty forests, lakes and rivers, mysterious ruins - and totally real plants and shrooms, superb; (but not the metal nodes...

Yes, I realise it's Early Access - I just think they did it too early, it's just too incomplete. But that's not really my main point is it ? It's about the quality of the game, the smart design, the thoughtful planning; and the team, especially communication with the community. So the tone in...

Gday Drifters, Here's some positive feedback with comparison for you - Large open worlds to explore and gather and adventure is my thing - played Embers till it hurt (literally). I've tried so many games - oft quickly forgotten. (Mask something?) One new big game is Pax Dei, now under Early...

Six hours looking for a group ? Why ? I can solo 1/3 of level 24 in that time, with some gathering along the way. Sometimes I solo, sometimes I group. Having a great time.

The Stuff-Ups are important to the fun - 1. Risk/Reward. Well discussed. 2. Personalisation. The stuff-ups are personal. I did Eye of Ibax first part with Nathan's public raid. Coming back to complete it with a wonderfully vague clue about an object in ruins. So I knew some ruins, went off and...

Hey all :) Embers means discovering things for oneself, with your own time & effort. (Whereas following a mini-map to a quest marker is following a track to someone else's previous discovery. Boring.) That means striving to find it yourself, using eyes and brain, maybe a lil help from...

... there's nowhere else to go. Great work Marcus. That was so much fun.

Wow, great work. Did you know there is an Embers wiki now - this would fit right in there : https://embers-adrift.wiki/wiki/Main_Page And a Bees of Knowledge page similarly : https://beesofknowledge.com/ Only just found out after taking a break. "Jeez, I'm out of it for a while, everyone gets...

Wow Marcus, you are a true gamer :) A few memories of mostly early games that you may recall - Arctic Fox Late 80s IIRC. Very crude 4 colour 3D world on an Amiga (a what?) - ice and snow, exploring and hunting in a tank. My very first 3D world to explore freely. Ultima Underworld 2 - Labyrinth...

Heya Marcus :) Telegraph Road - fantastic work, remember it well. Will check out Bowie ...

Looking forward to Alchemy. Interesting topic, back on earth Alchemy became a big thing in the 1600s, a roller coaster time of powerful bankers and warring Kings and secret societys like the Rosicrucians. In the 1400s the Hermetic documents escaping from fallen Roman Byzantium have inspired...

Oh, super :) I have a Rat Smasher already !

Hey all, Some suggestions - I use BIG mouse pointer, but it looks horrible, and the active point is weirdly out of place so it can be hard to just click the right spot. Also, the 'tooltip' that appears on mouse-over appears mouse-under so it can't be seen. Random loot boxes (stashes and...

Yup, it's a great game :) I'm having fun in between breaks, enjoying new features each time I return. (I like exploring, gathering, crafting, hunting, chatting - usually solo - just 'Being There'.) But the population has faded - chat is quiet, trade is rare, town is dead :( Peaked at about 50...

If you liked EQ style games, you would likely enjoy Embers Adrift. Graphics / interface etc. are modern, will look and play great on a new PC (and you'll be ready for Pantheon when it comes out in the 2030s :) Great fun for a couple of months, up to maybe level 15-20 as mentioned, but it gets...
