First time out of the vault
yeah great... joined in, looked around and got killed by some dude after i tried stealing (didnt even steal anything, just took a look at the inventory) from a junkie... great.
but the game itself is hollywood, great job!

I tried it out this morning and I must say I'm impressed by the effort.
World map travelling was waay, and I mean waaaay to slow. I only left the town to end combat, and come back. One good thing with it was that I was afraid of dying for when I died I ended up miles away making me have to travel back to the town. Seriously, dying twice would probably lead to deleting the game. Going for "realism"? I say go for "game".
Apart from that it was pretty fun. After my first futile attempt of robbing a fellow player of his stuff I teamed up with some random fellow. We managed to kill a npc just in time for the rest of the village people to show up, and it was about that time my companion died. I managed to grab the loot and ran out of town. I sold the loot and bought myself some armor. A bit later my companion is back wondering how I got hold of all that stuff, and off we were on another robbing spree.
The main goal for me was to get ahold of some stuff since I had none. I think I had some kind of radio when I started but I lost it the first time I got killed. Stealing and killing became my primary objective since I don't know any russian and almost every time I tried to start a conversation with a npc it ended in combat and me having to run out of town.
It was one or two hours of fun. Looking forward to the english translation.

did you ever noticed how the time goes in the original game? you spent weeks in travelling. So there's nothing wrong with the travelling speed.
About travelling back to town... There are improvements planned. First of all - different replication centers locations - not just one. Second - different start positions, so newbies won't appear in the same town. And the most important - we're looking for ways to prevent players die so easily.

Hey monsharen, that was me! Awful!
I gotta say, the game runs smooth and it's quite impressive. Though I really see the traveling speed (in this open test) as a huge flaw. It takes what, 10 minutes to get from the respawn point to the Den (with a bunch of Timed Out errors in between)? But if you guys have different locations not-so-far from one another, it's probably going to be okay.
I really like some the ideas I'm reading. The players should be able to create the world themselves, make their own gangs and organizations, have routes to run goods from city A to city B - but everything with restrictions and with a strong sense of roleplaying. Nothing wrong with a bunch of NPC quests, though.
Now, since I don't understand russian, the world was confusing to me. And I really didn't know where to begin, or what to do in general. Though it was fun running around with monsharen up there, trying to stick up people and get some cash.
If you manage to translate the whole world into english, and fix the flaws (losing all your stuff when respawned, having some sort of protection from the Steal skill, being the biggest that I have noticed) I could see myself playing that game for a lot of time.
All in all, it can be pretty damn good, given you have right people around you.

Whoa, I'm going in! Just going to download some needed stuff, then I'm in!
Someone wants to team with me? We could make a small raider band, stealing and killing from the weak and the stupid! We could rule a town and charge a fee to anyone coming into it!
Warning: I've heard there's a lot of stealing. The first freak who gets too near will be shot! *puts another clip in his 10mm handgun*
Does sneak work in the game? I think I have a cool idea...
EDIT: That forum is not working!
How can I open the FOconfig file? I can't open that thing! Maybe is that VCRedist thing? Where can I find it?

Whoa! I think it would be wise to warn you that you won't be that one with 10mm gun. Most likely you will be that one which do not have anything to be stolen
Let's just see that...
Okay, almost anything is working... but I am not connecting! Someone help me, please?

I suck. I can't manage to do anything, like killing things. I tried killing some random guy in Klamath, got beaten to death because I wanted his rock. Who the hell he was, Per?

It's so crazy it's fun. Me and some guys made the first gang: Teh Skullz. It was gallons of fun. Here some of our exploits:
1. Killed some guy in Klamath 'cause he killed me when I stole his stupid rock.
2. Killed a children in Klamath... just because. And then, we were chased by the town people, who managed to get me. This hurts.
3. Tried to kill two guys in metal armor in The Den. Someone with a pulse rifle came in and killed our gang. It was pretty fun to see people running like crazy!
We really need a 100% English translation, a functional faction system (so we can make raiders, gangs, guards, etcetera) and easier ways to get weapons for ourselves!
