Phoronix: Btrfs Battles EXT4 With The Linux 2.6.33 Kernel
Earlier this week we published extensive benchmarks of EXT4 that looked at the performance of this Linux file-system under every major kernel release since it was declared stable in the Linux 2.6.28 release. EXT4 has encountered many significant performance losses over time as its developers batten up the data security, but there have been some improvements too. At the same time though the developers working on the still-experimental Btrfs file-system continue to move along and push forward changes with each kernel cycle. Just last month we delivered Btrfs comparative benchmarks using the Linux 2.6.32 kernel, but already out of our own personal interest and requests from readers, we have new tests atop the latest Linux 2.6.33 kernel.
A thing about the btrfs compression is that it only compresses if it benefits over all.
I.g. some times it favours CPU over IO.
You can see this with text files and video.
What sort of data are these benchmarks actually handling? Aren't these benchmarks intended for uncompressed file systems? If it writes files full of zeroes then OBVIOUSLY any compression scheme will perform very well in the benchmark.
Really, you should do more analysis and less numbers.
I am pretty certain that these FS benchmarks simply write a bunch of zeroes, or some other repeating (and thus well-compressible) pattern, because that's the easiest to generate. Most file systems don't actually care what the data is. If they actually tried to simulate realistic file content, then surely it would be configurable and documented.
My point is that if you're going to publish any such benchmarks, you should clearly inform readers to take the results with a grain of salt. Testing compressed btrfs with ideally compressible data makes the results completely bogus and there's little point in comparing these results to non-compressible file systems. In practice people use file systems to store data, not zeroes.
Please make a Reiser4 Benchmark test, _PLEASE_.
I have been looking for FS comparison benchmarks with reiser4 for a long time now. And its hard to find one, which has all the other major filesystems in it, is not outdated, or is not only based on theoretical benchmarks.
I know Reiser4 is a problematic topic, since its not officially supported by the kernel and because of its unknown future.
From a technical pov its very interesting though. Because btrfs and r4 have the same design idea, it is interesting too see which fs is doing the better job.
If I may qoute yourself: "Reiser4 May Go For Mainline Inclusion In 2010". One does not know if this really happens. Linus might be strict on having 2 similar filesystems in the kernel. But there will be discussions about it and therefore benchmarks would be substantial.
Is very simple to get r4 support into linux. You just need to apply one of these patches.
The latest stable kernel is not yet supported because of VFS changes. Work is beeing done on this.
Thanks for all the good work sofar.
btrfs on the other hand doesn't have a journal at all and is entirely founded on the idea of copy-on-write B-trees (not to be confused with B+trees), which were invented in 2007 by Ohad Rodeh, years after reiser4 was released and pronounced testing-ready by Namesys.
The design of upper levels does bear some similarity, but that's because Chris Mason (the creator of btrfs) also worked on reiser4 before.

good to hear. i think getting into the kernel is reiser4fs only way to stay alive. and i guess thats what the namesys developers think, too. i just hope that development keeps alive, otherwise linus might reject because of no maintainers?So far the reasons for not including reiser4 have been purely technical -- not following conventions, misusing some kernel APIs and duplicating code. I don't think that would be an obstacle.
I have a counter request but want to first say "Thanks" for the efforts taken to provide this update on the improvements being made. If not for Phoronix(Michael et al) we would not have much of anything to use to follow the dev work that is quickly & fairly easily understood.
The request is to Please do not waste any time with Reiser* fs.
For ALL practical purposes, Namesys is as dead as Hans wife: " It has been inactive since late 2007, and as of 2010, is listed with the State of California with a status of "Suspended". "
It will never be in the Linux kernel as it is. It *must* have major restructuring to get there. It is incredible how many times this point has been made and yet there are still those that think wishing &|R hoping will make it come true. It will not.
I wish it has been forked & fixed to fit with Linux but it was not and ithink it is (much) too late now. Using it for anything like benchmarks just prolongs the agonizing death of the filesystem that almost was.
JFS & XFS are included in most distro's so, if ext3 is not enough, use them for comparisons.
ZFS port via FUSE is active (and supposedly " exceedingly safe to use" ) so it too might be a worthwhile comparison due to the number of functions that both ZFS and btrfs have in common(RAID, snapshots, data compression, ...) as well as their differences.
JFS has copy on write function too(XFS does not). Might be interesting to see how good snapshots are handled by all of them. ...
But not anything from Namesys, please.
Ironically enough, compressed reiser4 would blow everything else out of the water in these benchmarks.

The eagerly anticipated new book from the author of the best-selling The 48 Laws of Power
What did Charles Darwin, middling schoolboy and underachieving second son, do to become one of the earliest and greatest naturalists the world has known? What were the similar choices made by Mozart and by Caesar Rodriguez, the U.S. Air Force's last ace fighter pilot? In Mastery, Robert Greene's fifth book, he mines the biographies of great historical figures for clues about gaining control over our own lives and destinies. Picking up where The 48 Laws of Power left off, Greene culls years of research and original interviews to blend historical anecdote and psychological insight, distilling the universal ingredients of the world's masters.
Temple Grandin, Martha Graham, Henry Ford, Buckminster Fuller - all have lessons to offer about how the love for doing one thing exceptionally well can lead to mastery. Yet the secret, Greene maintains, is already in our heads. Debunking long-held cultural myths, he demonstrates just how we, as humans, are hardwired for achievement and supremacy. Fans of Greene's earlier work and Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers will eagerly devour this canny and erudite explanation of just what it takes to be great.

"Mastery is both a goal and a destination..."
While many of the ideas have been covered in other books, this author handles the topics with a fresh sense of urgency, and a lot of good illustration. The message is an overlay of the old joke "how do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice!", with the idea of learning to put your passion first.
There is no magic here, but an excellent personal trainer. Its worth a listen.
Gare Henderson
"what it takes, beyond hard work, to really know it"
Detailed and far ranging discussion of what it takes to be the best you can be. Examples of both widely known and not so widely known domain experts help illuminate what is required.
When the author starts riffing on the malevolent aspects of the mentor/mentee relationship, I think he is off base. Setting that aside, any person that has the drive to be the best will learn something from this book. Super narration.
audible master
I loved this book, very exciting stories and examples of masters being taught by themselves and stories of their apprenticeships. I have listened to this book over 5 times in the first month and I keep getting more and more out of this book. Instant favorite in my collection of over 500 books. Daily listener and this book has excited me more than most.
A fellow listener inclined to share my opinion on these productions. Maybe even inspire someone toward a powerful, or educational audiobook!
"Practice Makes Pretty Darn Good!"
This book is a self-help book, told through use of many famous and inspiring people's lives. Robert Greene shares some ideas for improving our disposition throughout the book, at times even suggesting we be deceptive to co-workers under particular circumstances. I found that tidbit of advice entertaining, if not mildly surprising. The biographical aspects were by far the most exciting for me. Greene was able to bring new life to the iconic persons in his book through bits of their lives, either unbeknownst to me, or shared from a fresh perspective.
As far as his advice, well I take it as mostly optimistic opinion. He bases his overlying theme of 'long intensive work equals positive results' on real and sound data, however some of the advice seems to be extemporaneous concepts contrived while he was conveying the dilemmas in his subjects lives. Don't get me wrong; good advice is good, whether fabricated off-the-cuff, or through years of mental labor. It just feels awkwardly and forcefully placed, when he puts his ideas in action, as a parallel to these great men and woman's responses to their struggles.
The narrator was absolutely fine. My idea of a perfect narrator, is one that I don't even regard; I am to engrossed in what I am hearing and interpreting to fathom. I would guess my concentration on the material was broken three times throughout the entire sixteen hours due to mispronunciations. That is by my standards awesome!
Now that I have the negative criticism out of the way, I would like to say that this is a great book. I found it reminiscent of Malcolm Gladwell's 2008 book, Outliers where he too, writes extensively on the ten thousand hour rule. I learned plenty for the money I spent on it, and who knows I might even decided to master something. Enjoy, this is a great bargain!
"Must read"
The books gives a big incentive to create. Moreover, reading this books definitely has a positive impact on the mood!
This is definitely one of my favorite books now.
Really enjoyed this audio version.
"Classic Robert Greene"
I haven't listened to or read another author that tries to teach life lessons that are relevant today through historic stories from the past. Is he always successfull? No, not always. Is it entertaining and will you learn some cool stories about great masters of the past (think Mozart, Da Vinci)? Yes!
This book may or may not change your life. The lessons are great and the stories are interesting, however, as with all these self help types of books, you will only see change if you apply it. Fred Sanders does a great job narrating this book (one of the better Narrations I've listed to on a Robert Greene book).
"A Must Read For Everyone!"
One of the best books I've read on mastering your own skills! I loved the stories of all the great master and how they worked to better their craft. This book was engaging and insightful.
"Common sense"
The idea is common sense. Master something and you will do well. I like Robert Greene's 48 laws of power. Excellent story telling, entertaining and useful. However, mastery is somewhat similar. I did not think it was worth listening. Didn't finish until end and wish i could return for something I have not yet heard.
I'm a lawyer and mediator. I represent businesses in disputes with their insurers and in other complex litigation. I also assist machinery companies and manufacturers (primarily international) with equipment sales, non-disclosure agreements, and business issues. I also mediate commercial disputes.
"Better if Half the Length"
The substance of this book is great. It features stories of interesting people who have achieve mastery in their fields. It debunks the myth that masters are born and not made through hard work.
Great subject matter with interesting stories. What could be better? It would be better if it were eight hours instead of sixteen. The book simply needs a major editing (pruning might be a better word). The book is repetitive and needlessly lengthy, droning on like a politician's speech after the point has already been made.
"The Book You Need Exiting High School"
The author uses plenty of example from Davinci to Mozart to Proust to Darwin to Paul Graham to illustrate his points about Mastery and how it is not through some rare gift but through conscious practice and attention to detail. Understanding this and how it relates to your "life's work" can guide career decisions. I wish I had a copy of this when I left high school rather than learning on the job so to speak.
"Not a revelation"
More interesting for the biographies than any insight into mastery and self development. Can literally be summed up as 'work hard at what you enjoy and are best at'. Really wanted to like this book but finished a little disappointed at the lack of developed insight.
"fully furnished foray into the science of success"
I regularly return to Mastery. The book contains such a wide range of case studies, full of both informative lessons and unforgettable anecdotes which show empirical truths in the human psyche across the centuries. As a young person beginning my career, I almost follow it as a guidebook at times, keeping me on track and motivated.
Each of the case-studies' lives are scintillating biographies, over the last year I have probably cited each of them at various parties and with my friends. I particularly liked hearing the life-story of Benjamin Franklin- who became the polymath he was through making countless bad decisions. He posed as a widow so that his writings would be published by his jealous brother, and then revealed it- then was dismissed and ended up in a printing press in London, where his unwillingness to play along with the other workers led to a 'poltergeist' ruining his work. Each of the stories serves a purpose, they aren't merely anecdotes- I can't praise enough how much I love Robert Greene's 'show, don't tell' approach with this book.
Fred Sanders has a wonderfully colourless voice- not putting his own emotional stamp on its contents, which for such an informative book is a real benefit. I felt very comfortable listening to him and could concentrate indefinitely- sometimes a narrator begins to grate after a while. I also got great enjoyment out of his pronounciation of 'von Goethe'.
Greatness is a code. (?)
If you are a hard worker and want to get the most out of the brain you have, i recommend this book.
"Not for me"
This was a departure for me. The self help aspects of the book I found irritating and there was a lot of repetition in telling the stories of historical masters. However, the philosophy of his main thrust was reasonable, some aspects of brain development, the evolution of intelligence and some of the mini biographies were interesting.
"An inspirational insight into success"
This is an entertaining and insightful examination into what it takes to stand out above the crowd. It helps you to realise that the success of geniuses like Mozart, Leonardo Da Vinci and Michael Faraday wasn't handed to them on a plate and that their natural talents alone did not secure their places in history. The secret ingredients were the love of their subject, their attitude and their determination to succeed despite constant obstacles. This book has helped me to see setbacks and challenges in a different light - often, they are blessings in disguise. Sometimes, they are the very key to success itself.
"character building!"
First of all I generally don't write reviews but in the case of this book I am making an exception! if you are like me and looked for this book on the recommendation of Elliot Hulse you will not be disappointed! it will get you on the way to becoming "the strongest version of yourself" the main problem i have with this audio-book is that Fred Sanders (i have never heard of him before is he famous in america?) voice get on my nerves but that's probably more of a personal thing! so all in all if you want a book for self improvement or even just to see what other peoples ideas on self improvement are! (like me) its worth ago right?
"Marvelous insight into some of the greats minds"
Really enjoyed this from start to finish. Some brilliant stories on past and present masters of their fields. The narrative of trying to apply your own mind to do the same I took a bit tongue in cheek. I'm definitely not Mozart..
"Great and life changing"
It is the book that help u get skills life and jobs done. Finding the thing motivates u from feep within your heart.
Goes on for a while and entire sections are repeated. All in all it is a book that somewhat confirms the obvious, but in an entertaining way. The narration sometimes droops a bit and the author hasn't quite mastered the art of being concise.
"Great storytelling, but too long for an audiobook"
Yes, there's lots of great and interesting stories from famous people here to give you some inspiration. However it is very long and at 16 hours, there were times when I felt it was simply getting a bit repetitive
This is good addition for anyone interested in self-development as well as reading up on biographies of successful people
what characters? This is not a novel
"Compelling and Inspiring"
This is not a dry textbook-style, step-by-step guide to mastery. It is far more engaging than I thought it could be and the narrator does a magnificent job.

30 JULY 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA—One of the great archaeological illustrators of the 20th century, Piet de Jong spent the summer of 1957, at the invitation of excavation director Rodney Young, working at the renowned site of Gordion in central Turkey. While de Jong set about on a series of watercolors reconstructing wall paintings from a previously uncovered "Painted House," ca. 500 BCE, Penn Museum excavators were making a now-famous discovery: they penetrated a large, exceptionally well-preserved grave mound, known as the "Midas Mound" for its association with the legendary King Midas and his family. There, they found a wealth, not of gold, but of royal artifacts and information about the Phrygian people of 2700 years ago.

07 MARCH 2007, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Of all the times in ancient Egypt's long history, the Amarna Period (circa 1353 to 1336 BCE) is one of the most intriguing. In little more than a generation, the religious, artistic, and political order of Egyptian civilization was radically altered—and then restored. Egyptologists continue to make important discoveries about this time—and to debate their meaning.
On Saturday, March 31, the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology hosts a gathering of prominent Egyptologists from two continents, offering a variety of perspectives on this revolutionary period. "Amarna: New Research and Discoveries in the Age of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun," a full day public symposium, is co-sponsored by Archaeology Magazine and the Center for Ancient Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.

Great sage advice. Change does not have to be painful, when you include others in the decisions, it helps take the edge off.

New study shows that 75% of initiatives fail and when changes fail, people grow cynical - yeah, now I can understand some behaviours.
Ian Berry's curator insight, December 21, 2014 8:02 PM
There's some good reasons about why change management fails in this piece not least of which is that change can't be managed.
Don Dea's curator insight, December 18, 2014 12:41 AM
Transformational-change initiatives have a dismal track record. In 1996, Harvard Business School professor John Kotter claimed that nearly 70 percent of large-scale change programs didn't meet their goals,1 and virtually every survey since has shown similar results. Why is change so confounding? We don't think the issue lies with an understanding of its building blocks—Kotter's classic eight-step change-management model is still a helpful guide. The problem lies in beliefs about who is responsible for launching change and how change is implemented.

Hello board, hello Nokia!
I own a couple of N900's and a N9. Recently I picked up some dev projects for those devices and while installing scratchbox I ran into some trouble, namely the closed source parts of the install. They need a token that can be obtained by acccepting the EULA from here: [url]http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/eula/index.php[/url].
That website, however, has been down for quite some time now.
Could someone in the know explain me how to obtain a token and get the closed source bits to install from within scratchbox?
Kind regards,

Finishing Touch Lumina
By RitaBetty
from Lakeland, FL
About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about Finishing Touch Lumina - As Seen on TV:
Used this to remove the hair above my mouth and on my face. It was pretty successful but did require more than one "sweep" to remove all the hair. Much better than the hair removal creams, waxes and lotions as it does not irritate your skin. It would have been better if it had given a cleaner shave.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am having some problems with debugging imlets on an aplicom 12 module. I am trying to use serial port 3 to send debug information from the module to a pc.
The imlets seem to be running ok on the module, however when i want to get the debug information back, it doesnt seem to be happening.
In the aplicom 12 configurator in module configuration, I have set port 3 to be the java serial port, the code I am using to open the serial port is
sc=(StreamConnection) Connector.open("comm;3:buadrate=115200", Connector.READ_WRITE);
I am then trying to connect to Hyper terminal on the PC.
I have set Bit per second to: 115200
Data bits: 8
parity: none
stop bits: 1
flow control: none
Hyper terminal doesnt display any information with these settings.
Any help or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Very Greek Grilled Chicken
(Makes 6-8 servings, recipe created by Kalyn with memories of Greece in mind.)
6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp. fresh lemon zest or 1/4 tsp. dried lemon zest (or use a little more lemon juice if you don't have lemon zest)
1 tsp. Greek Seasoning
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 tsp. dried oregano
black pepper to taste
(Click for step-by-step photos of how to make grilled chicken breasts.)
South Beach Suggestions:
This would be great with Slow Roasted Asparagus, Many Peppers Greek Salad, and Brown and Wild Rice with Pine Nuts and Thyme. Another great side dish combination would be Georgette's Really Lemony Greek Pilafi plus Grilled Zucchini, which could cook right along side the chicken on the grill.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Denver I wouldn't be surprised if more ARM partners tried their hand at desktop/server AA64 parts(AMD has already announced they'll be working on ARM Opteron parts).
I don't understand cpu archtecture enought, maybe you guys will help clarify. How much o the CPU modern CPU archtecture is linked to the ISA? I mean, would it take too much work to say port Piledriver/Steamroller/Excavator to accept ARM ISA? Would the same apply to Haswell/Broadwell/etc? ARM is constantly bashed by being too low performance, but does the performance has anything to do with the ISA or is it simply because nobody has released a high power ARM chip yet?
The way I see it, its not about technology, it's abou business model. ARM business model allows for the creation of an infinite number of SoCs with different building blocks that all run the same Apps. x86 does not. If you are writing x86 Apps you are bound to run on the limited range of chips sold by Intel and AMD, so in the long run, ARM is a no-brainer simply due to the sheer variety and innovation possible in the ARM space, as long as they keep fragmentation in check.
In view of the above, I'm very curious to know if we can expect something like a 125W Steamroller ARM chip in the near future. With everybody but intel on the ARM bandwagon, I can't see Intel's big custumers being very happy having a single supplier...
How is the install trivial? Did anybody read the instructions? It is a lot of steps, just to get something with broken sound, no hardware acceleration, and a broken touchpad. And, where, in order to persist it, you need to type a tricky command.
Oh well, the CPU performance per watt seems stellar. It would be nice to plot that! (something like a geometric mean of performance in all tests/ normalized to processor's TDP)
But the A6 is about equivalent to what Qualcomm was shipping for a year with their Krait-based Snapdragon S4s.
And there's no way an A6 is in the same league as a Cortex-A15 anything.
Still the same crap i see. The difference is very simple. "Complex" and "Reduced" are not for instructions but for instruction sets. So its Complex or Reduced relations between instructions. So on RISC one instruction is a little the other or continuation of another or other relation. On CISC instructions don't have the same root not even when they divide to Micro-Ops or compress to Macro-Ops, that's only possible with recompiling. The thing is that on RISC the instructions run instantly and all possibilities together in a single vector. On CISC they need extended Microcode, many units, and there is not possibility for JIT-streaming, like graphics because the CISC compiler cannot use all the units efficiently, wile with RISC any data can co-execute with any data. At the end the only difference is that for the same generation and possibilities, RISC needs 1/10 the transistors to do the same amount of work and the 1/10 Watts.
quite easily beats both the A15 and S4 in GPU benchmarks. But perhaps these are a flub too?

Just when we think we've got the Oscars figured out, they throw us a curveball (or two).
Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone announced the nominations for the 2013 Oscars Thursday morning, and while most critics saw Lincoln as the frontrunner, smaller-grossing films Beasts of the Southern Wild and Silver Linings Playbook swept in with heaps os surprise nominations. On the reverse, supposed shoe-ins like Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow and Argo director Ben Affleck were left nomination-less.
We've gathered a comprehensive list of this year's surprises and snubs, now that we've recovered from the news.

Seriously, telling someone what to do that is based on your opinion is just as distasteful as piracy itself. I pay for games (and I pay more than $10 for the humble bundles), most of the music I get is legally free, I'll pay for a movie once in a while, but I rarely download those either. Generally, if there's something I want and can't pay for it, I wait so I can get it UNLESS the product was made specifically for profit and nothing more, where I don't care if the company gets a loss. I pirate Windows because MS doesn't need or deserve the money. They pull all sorts of stupid tricks to give you reasons to pay full price for a minimal upgrade that may do something you don't like. I'd give examples but I'd be going on for pages about that. Besides, the performance thing discussed earlier in this thread was an example. The only thing I use Windows for at this point is watching movies (because ALSA is a pain in the ass when it comes to surround sound) and playing games, and I don't do those very often; I've gone almost entire months not doing either. To me, it makes no sense to pay for something I don't use much and find worse than Linux in almost every way I can think of.
I'm guessing by putting files related to booting and other frequently-accessed files in the SSD, he'll get more performance while not using up a ton of the SSD's limited space on just Windows itself. Installing Windows on a SSD is sorta a waste of all that space when many/most of those bloated files might not ever be accessed.How so?
PulseAudio can set up surround sound just fine, but its still a little too heavy and unstable for my likes. ALSA is perfectly capable of surround sound but its how to do it that is the problem. Documentation for it seems to be outdated or hardware specific, and the only GUI for it doesn't work anymore.
Or donate money to relevant projects.
Well there is one reason why you need a win partition besides playing new commercial games: to play original blurays including the menu. Even if you manage to play em with Linux you never get a menu. So for more than the main movie you have to use an official player. Ok you could use a hardware player as well, but when you already have got a bd drive in your pc...
People even buy Blu-ray movies?
I thought that stuff was only used for games on PlayStation 3.
People who buy Blu-ray movies must be 50+ year old, same people who buy VHS and DVD.
I rather just pirate it from the Internet and get it DRM-free and have it digitally stored and playable on any device. So much easier, cheaper and more convenient.
BTW, my personal opinion is that both M$ software and Hollywood movies should be avoided, but if forced to use any for whatever reason then pirating is the way to go. I don't remember who said this first, but I saw it some years ago on some forum and it's absolutely genius: "The only thing worse then using Windows is paying for it".
Usually it is simpler to rent a movie, that does not cost that much usually. It depends if you have got a good video store nearby or not.

M&Ms T-shirt Red Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
Having personalities that are all their own, the computer animated spokescandies for M&Ms by Mars are fun to watch in commercials. The red candy has the largest personality of the bunch including being cynical, sarcastic and clearly scorned, probably due to the lack of affection the green M&M showed him! Originally voiced by comedian Jon Lovitz, the red is the mascot for the flagship milk chocolate brand of M&Ms. He is a true original! A personalized M&M ornament is a great gift for the sarcastic guy in your life that sympathizes with the red M&M's plight. This adorable glass M&M shirt ornament is for the red M&M lover or anyone who's favorite color is red.
Material: Glass
Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.

Talisman Online
Talisman Online is a 3D fantasy MMORPG with an interface very similar to that of World of Warcraft's but unlike WoW, Talisman Online takes place in an oriental setting. Talisman Online has 5 classes to chose from (Wizard, Monk, Assassin, Fairy, Tamer) and several unique features such as weapon enhancement to try out.
Publisher: Miracle Castle
Playerbase: Medium
Graphics: Low Quality
Type: MMORPG
EXP Rate: Low
PvP: yes – duels
Filesize: 191 MB
Pros: +Great interface and map. +Lots of quests and ability to auto-walk to objectives. +Crafting skills, mounts, pets, auctions, personal shops and more.
Cons: -Poor graphics and rigid camera. -Limited character customization. -Small game world. -Repetitive gameplay.
Talisman Online Overview
Talisman Online borrows heavily from Blizzard's mega hit World of Warcraft but still manages to look and feel like an original game. Much of the interface, mini map and other small details are taken straight from WoW while equipment enhancing and auto-walk are new features that help Talisman Online stand out from the crowd of WoW clones. Though Talisman Online is an original and interesting game, it is a bit lacking in content. The game world is rather small and character customization is very limited. There are in total 5 classes and they are:
Wizard (male/female) - Wizards are masters of the arcane arts. They may have weak defense and low HP but they can deal massive damage with their spells.
Monk (male) - Monks are the warriors of Talisman Online. They fight with large weapons and inflict heavy blows. Monks have high defense and use stamina for their skills.
Assassin (male) - Assassins quick melee specialists who have low defense but high attack and dodge rates. Like Monks, Assassins use stamina instead of mana for their skills.
Fairy (female) - Fairies are a supportive class that possess healing and buffing spells. Fairies make competent damage dealers as well but suffer from low defense.
Tamer (female) - The Ranger class, Tamers excel at long ranged combat with their trusty bows. Tamers can persuade creatures of equal or lower level to fight by their side.

Talisman Online Review
By Erhan Altay
Talisman Online was the first free MMORPG to borrow many elements from World of Warcraft but it certainly is no 'WoW Clone.' You see, unlike more recent copy cats such as Runes of Magic and 4Story, Talisman Online still maintains a unique graphic and play style. Talisman Online takes some of the best aspects of WoW's interface and adds many of its own features, mainly a unique equipment upgrade mechanism that ensures players are always wielding a level appropriate weapon.
Join The Fray
The game seems to enjoy a moderate following, there are five live servers and all show activity in the starting zones. Character creation is on the dull side though, players are given 3 character slots per server and all but the Wizard class lack a gender choice. Why Wizards can be male or female but the other 4 classes are stuck with one or the other is something only the developers can answer. Each class has a meager 5 hair and face style choices which leads to very repetitive character appearances. For a more detailed description of the classes, take a look at the overview but there's nothing out of the ordinary here, just your standard archetypes; warrior, rogue, archer, mage, and priest.
Questing Made Easy
New players start their journey in a small oriental hamlet populated by a few NPCs. A strange man in a bird suit and a small boy provide the first few quests which introduce you to the game's basics. Talisman Online lacks a formal tutorial but makes up for it with friendly tips displayed on the left of the screen as exclamation mark icons. Clicking these icons reveals game hints but anyone with past experience with MMORPGs will feel right at home in the world of Talisman. Movement is done via the standard point and click method with skills and consumables assigned to a toolbar. Keyboard shortcuts make interface navigation much easier, the quest log in particular (t) is well done. Quest objectives are highlighted in green and clicking on them automatically walks players to that location. This makes travel and questing much, much easier.
Level Up, Now What?
As players complete quests and level, they'll notice that there's little sense of character growth during the early stages. There are 4 stats in the game; Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity, and Vitality but players do not earn points to distribute among these. Questing does begin to reward equipment, some of which boosts attributes, but it'll be some time before new players have a full set of armor. All classes start with several skills but new ones are learned automatically as you level up. The only player input into character development is done through the game's unique enhancing feature. As players hunt and complete quest, they earn energy points which can be used to upgrade their current equipment. Different equipment have different rank limits, for example all starting weapons have a rank limit of 10 meaning they can be upgraded a total of 10 times. Players can only increase the rank of something up to their current level. In order to start this energy transfer process, players must use a special skill that is automatically placed in their toolbar. New player shouldn't worry about 'wasting' energy points since they are easily acquired, just pump your weapon's rank as high as you can each level.
Grammar Police!
The spelling and overall context in most of Talisman Online's text is legible but some strange word usage gives the game that 'Engrish' feel. When I first went through the game's help menu and read about 'living skills' I was a bit confused. What on Earth is a living skill? Well it turns out that the developers meant to say 'crafting skills.' There are a total of 6 of these in the game though each character can only learn two (just like in WoW!) The crafting skills are; Collect Herb, Make Potion, Collect Ore, Make Charm, Decompose, Make Magicstone. Most of these are self explanatory but the last pair may require some clarification. 'Decompose' is Talisman's way of saying 'disenchant' which breaks apart magic items and turns them into gem stones which can then be crafted into 'magicstones' and inserted into other gear.
Going Along
The gameplay in Talisman Online begins to get stale after the first few levels. Since players auto-move back and forth between quest locations and town, there really isn't much to do besides clear out camps of a particular monster than wait a minute or two for your character to walk back to town, only to repeat the process several dozen times more. The leveling rate is fairly slow but logical considering the max level is 65. What's a bit more disheartening is the general size of the game world. The world map may look large but each of the 16 maps is fairly small. There are only a handful of monster types in any particular zone which adds to the dullness. Speaking of dullness, the game's graphics are certainly on the low end. Terrain and character models look rough while the camera is severely limited. Players can spin it 360 degrees but can only move it up or down to a certain extent. How soon before the game gets monotonous depends on the individual's tolerance level but luckily there are several features to keep players interested.
Duels and Shops
One of the more humours moments during my time with Talisman Online was when a Wizard challenged my Monk to a duel. Having a competitive streak, I promptly accepted. As soon as I did so, a giant banner fell to the ground signifying the start of the duel. This may not mean much to some of you but from a former WoW addict, it was quite a moment. But while the dueling system is similar to WoW's, Talisman Online lacks the same larger scale war between two factions. Sure there are guilds but PvP plays a small roll in this game. Other common features like personal shops make an appearance as well and can fortunately be used right away, no silly level requirements to worry about. Other points of interest include special scenarios of which there are a little over a dozen, around one per map. These scenarios are like instances, each with special boss monsters within them.
Website Plus
There are few sources of information for Talisman Online besides the official site but this isn't much a problem since the official site happens to be very informative and easy to navigate. Players can get information about every item, skill, monster, and map online. I often don't mention the publisher's website in my reviews but feel it was worth mentioning this time around and it may be something I go into detail on in later reviews. I'll end off with Talisman Online's awkward official slogan: Teamwork to Survival Talisman to Victory.
Final Verdict: Fair
Talisman Online is a simple fantasy game that borrows the best elements of past successes to bring gamers a very casual, easy to play MMORPG. Combat is straight forward, your objectives are always clear in the form of quests, and the game even does the running for you with the auto-move feature. Unfortunately, all this adds up to an experience that gets repetitive rather quickly.
