Had to bust out the scissors I didn't realize this had lace when I bought this so I just cut it off lol now I like the tank top June 13, 2014
Lace Rolls If you're chesty, the lace inset has a tendency to roll under and look funky. October 10, 2013
Great fit Looks great under a tee, or sweater, or anything really! And so comfortable. July 9, 2013
tank fits very very small. usually wear xs, but need to return for M or even L .the quality of the material is awesome. March 13, 2013
Nice tank, but runs small! I first bought a small (which I normally wear), and then returned it for a medium, and perhaps I should have bought a large! This tank runs very small, but is nice otherwise. December 16, 2012
Great fit I liked the new tank .. It's a new look and fits great .. October 2, 2012
Cute! This is a great cami! I am 5'7", 123 lbs, and got the Small. It's very fitted, but not uncomfortable. I got it in the red color and it's a bright red that's almost a little coral. It looks great as a bottom layer. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase. July 6, 2012

(TMZ) - Taylor Swift got paid $2.5 MILLION to perform at a hoedown in Canada ... but when the show got canceled, Taylor kept the money ... this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
Long story short ... Swift was supposed to headline a huge country music concert in Ottawa in August 2012 called the Capital Hoedown.
Problem is ... the promoters couldn't get their act together, and to the dismay of the Canadian country music community, the hoedown was 86'd.
So why is this Taylor's problem?
According to a new lawsuit filed in federal court in New York, Swift got all of her cash up front ... and the ticket company, which had to refund $1.8 million in tickets, thinks she should foot the bill ... since she never actually did anything. In fact, even if TS were to pay, she would still walk with $700k in profit.
But Taylor's rep tells TMZ the singer NEVER made a deal with the ticket company -- and has not yet seen the lawsuit ... which means she's not exactly rushing to fork over a $1.8 million check.
In related news, they have hoedowns in Canada?!?!?

Fort Dorchester High School will host the annual Byron Maxwell Air it Out Passing Tournament this weekend.
Fans will have the opportunity to get a glimpse into how potent of a passing attack certain teams may have in the fall as 18 squads compete Saturday in the seven-on-seven passing tournament. Admission is free. Games on multiple fields begin at 10 a.m.
"It will be competitive so it's a good opportunity for fans to see some athletes in action," Fort Dorchester Athletic Director/Coach Steve LaPrad said. "We've been hosting passing camps every Thursday but those are more for coaching. Teams have to pay a fee to participate Saturday so there will be a different feel. We keep score so more emphasis is put on having a good showing as opposed to teaching the players."
This is the fifth summer the Patriots have hosted the tournament, which serves as a fundraiser for the FDHS football program. Last year Maxwell, a cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks and Fort Dorchester Alum, became the sponsor for the event.
"Byron's help allows us to keep the registration costs low and that makes it more attractive to teams," LaPrad said. "Plus, Byron usually attends the camp and it's always good to have a Super Bowl guy around."
Schools with teams registered for this year's Air it Out are Fort Dorchester, Ashley Ridge, Berkeley, Bishop England, Hanahan, Stratford, James Island, West Ashley, Beaufort, Bluffton, Georgetown, Wando, Palmetto Christian, Porter-Gaud, Northwood Academy and First Baptist.
Squads will compete in three Red Robin rounds and then be divided into two divisions for bracket play. A championship trophy will be awarded to the winner of each division. The finals are scheduled for early afternoon.
Last year, Fort Dorchester fell to Sumter in the Division 1 finals while Wando claimed the Division 2 championship with a win over Palmetto Christian.
Division winners from other years include Fort Dorchester, Hanahan, South Florence, Ashley Ridge and Bishop England.

With the Z2/Z1′s move to the FWD UKL platform, the return of the BMW Z3 (RWD) is currently being considered. The new Z3 would come in traditional soft-top and coupe versions and would be based on the F20 1-series generation's modular platform.
But it doesn't end there for BMW's roadster lineup changes. The Z4 would be renamed the Z5 which would allow it to grow in size and for the smaller Z3 to slot in under it in the roadster lineup. The Z5 would utilize the F30 … CONTINUED

|16 posts found
Jail break character creation tied into the story+
Tutorial tips/reminders available, such as . . . you need to select a ship to find it on the harbor now that you logged out for a while+
Customer service (for me) turnaround was about 10 hrs (probably less. I did not check frequently). Quality, courteous answer. Not bad for so soon after opening+
Game in one word: Playful.
Extrapolation: The game wants to play with you as much as you with it. The dialogue is fitting, tasteful, well-written, with quality voice overs. The game has NEVER felt like work to me. All play. Have yet to find a need or cultivate a desire to grind.+
Quests: well thought out. simple, yet depth of story adds flavor. (dont kill ten rats, but, rather, kill ten rats so that the prisoners from an expedition you work for as a free lance agent can make their way out of the tunnels after you free them from their captivity.)+
Ground Combat: think Risk meets Magic: the Gathering meets Puzzle Quest meets MMO. Yes, you could attack the box that is standing in your way toward getting to that one enemy over there . . . or you could have that NPC companion bottleneck and opening while you get in position to do an AoE artillery barrage on the enemies trying to negotiate through your characters. The combat is balanced well. I have never once felt under or over powered.+
Accessability in combat: see someone in combat? want to join in? get off the safe path on side of road and walk into the fray, you will be auto-queued to fight as long as the fight isnt already full. In ship combat, you can help repel boarders from friendly ships, or help storm a ship by sailing close and pressing x. Then you are placed on the map, just like in Ground Combat.+
Graphcis: WoW loses a few shoddy details and turns them into visible ship customizations, from armor to cannon type (bronze is bronze colored, iron is iron. subtle difference, but it shows they care)+
Music: as playful as the game itself. Its an uplifting, slightly mischevious, friendly, pirate-themed soundtrack.+
Now to the cost:
Cash Shop:
Do you NEED to use cash shop? Short answer: No.
Can you, if you wish to, buy convenience items/gear to help you get started/progress? Yes.
But, again, do you NEED to spend money in cash shop? No.
10$ a month with a monthly subsription (less if multiple months are bought together) is more than reasonable for the amount of fun that this game promises.
Try the Demo (F2P) version and if you like what you see when you get to where you need to have a sub, think about subbing.
10$ a month . . . hmm . . . going out to eat is about that much. if you go alone.
And besides, the people who have worked at this game, and continue working to make it bigger and better . . . they have to eat as well. And pay the electric bill. Etc.
So, long story short:
1) great, kid-friendly game (with chat filter. have yet to see ANY profanity, even mispelled, slip by)
2) cheap subscription prices, and bundle prices for families that would like to game together (the family that plays together, stays together)
3) Alot of potential for trolls to bash it because both subscription and cash shop available.
Just because you CAN spend all your money in a cash shop when you do not have to is more of a test of will and character of oneself rather than a flaw within the game.
Some people have more money than time and want things to help make their journey a bit easier. Some have more time than money . . . but can still probably afford 10$ a month if they want to do so.
Cry me a river if this upsets you. I will sail down it and shake my pirate hook at ye! Yarr!

any comments on persistent group acrivity, replayability and endgame ? particularly large-scale group activity, pvp or pve ?
Originally posted by Robokapp
Persistent group acrivity(sic):
I have found that the friends list is great for those you wish to see/group with again. In it's heart though, I think this game would really shine in the ways of family-oriented play. I do not have any children, but there are life lessons to be taught. An example? A rat pirate who stops his thieving and less-than-reputable ways in order to "try it your way" when he sees your successes while still maintaining standards.
The jump-in, jump-out fighting style is great for casual play or when you have other real life concerns that might require you to just step to the safe walkway after a fight so you can take care of them. Infant comes to mind.
The one limiting factor for creating and maintaining "deep" friendships in this game is the chat filter. But I find that is a welcome feature of a game that is supposed to be for children. Keeps them safe. Expressing deep thoughts is tough, but when you can say things like: "I like your tactics. You are skilled. Thanks for healing me" etc. etc. etc. That is more than enough for me to feel connected to those I am currently grouping with.
As far as I can tell, the story lines are "almost" the same from character to character, but, depending on the starting class, the combat mechanics will work VERY differently. So if you mean is the story completely different every time? No. But if you roll more than one character, you will have to learn how to play it to its strengths. Example: A musketeer who is used to playing a privateer might want to avoid charging the enemy like he did on his other character. In addition, there are a limited number of points that you earn through leveling/questing that you can use to gain some of the other classes skills. Example: I am currently in heavy armor using a staff to attack and trying to get gear to help me heal. in heavy armor. with a staff. healing. :D
I havnt gotten there yet. I know levels go into the 50+ at the moment, and I am only level 12 so far. :)
If you have more questions, run em by me. I will do my best to check here often enough to provide somewhat prompt answers.

Large Scale Activity:
Join in a fight that has several other people already in it is an easy way to do that. There are also dungeons, designed for more than one person, but, if you are careful and take it slow, you might be able to negotiate them.
PvP and PVE "large scale" like Aika or something? Not really. I have yet to try PVP and am honestly not sure if it is possible at the moment. I have not had the desire to look or try at level 12.
Hope this answers some of the things I left unattended. My apologies for missing the full question.

Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
I have to pay HEAPS of money if I choose to unlock the content by areas. The free to play area is a trial, it is an outright lie to call this F2P.
Play for fun. Play to win. Play for perfection. Play with friends. Play in another world. Why do you play?

It is free to try. If you like, buy. :)

My questions were rather simple in nature. If the broken quest is a known issue, they will fix it as a matter of course, but probably in a larger patch. The game just came out a little whil ago after all.
I am sorry you have not had a response as of yet.

You can't.
it's the 'Peacemaker' quest in Cool Ranch. I forgot to talk to Sam Colt inside the cave before making my exit. There is no way of teleporting inside even if a friend is already there. It gives a message saying "can't teleport to gauntlet"
I finally got a reply from support saying they can't see my pirate on my account. Fun stuff and yes I did provide the right account name. now I can look forward to 70+ hours again for a reply, after sending them a simple msg that yes it IS the right account.
It's not the worst customer service I've gotten from a MMO but it's cutting it close

Also, send me a email. Got a special something-something I cannot talk about on these forums. But I will let you in on it :-D
By the way, what class do you play?

Sometimes when you are playing Pirate101 the game will be loading or patching as you play. Most often logging out then logging back in will remedy the situation. Also to note, sometimes there are objectives that have not been met before a quest giver will give the quest. Level, particular quests, or interaction with a different npc.
A general rule of thumb for me is I never leave a area until all the quests for said area are done. The only time I leave a area while quests still remain is to train if I level up. Or if a companion gets a promotion. I do those before anything.
Hope that helps!

I was wondering if there are some generator of sound (such as white noise, or other kinds of sound for the following purpose) for counteracting the sound in working environment? The generator can be either software or hardware, although software is preferred. My OS is Ubuntu 12.04. Thanks!
There are two free web-based sound generators I personally use.
There is an iOS application called Ambiance. Based on its own description, it calls itself an "environment enhancer". It can create many kinds of sounds in an ambient atmosphere.
If you have an iPhone, White Noise is good.
Also, my colleague swears by his Bose QuietComfort active noise cancellation headphones. Not cheap, and there are probably cheaper ones out there that are just as good, but they do work well.

Holmes goes back to workMay 15,2013Despite the cleverness of Sherlock Holmes in solving crimes, his stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle often have a certain late-Victorian innocence about them. One example is the story entitled The Second Stain, which appears in the collection called The Return of Sherlock Holmes. A brief summary of the story, outlining events as we eventually come to know them, will show what I mean.
A foreign potentate, who is Kaiser Wilhelm thinly disguised, has sent a very bristling letter to the British government in relation to some colonial affairs. The letter is so insulting that there would be a great public outcry if it were published. There might even be demands to go to war. After the cabinet is sworn to secrecy, the British foreign secretary takes the letter home to be placed in his private dispatch box.
A foreign agent whose country is not named but who has a second home and other identity in Paris, so we can guess what country hes the secret agent for, has been told about the letter by a spy in the foreign office. He blackmails the wife of the foreign secretary into stealing the letter from the dispatch box. The wife takes the letter to the agents London residence. She sees the agent put the letter in a secret floor compartment under a rug.
At that moment the agents Parisian wife bursts in jealously. The foreign secretarys wife flees and learns the next day that the secret agent has been stabbed to death.
It turns out that the foreign secretary never tells his wife a word about his official duties or what sort of activities hes engaged in. He is devastated on discovering the bristling letter missing from his dispatch box, and he and the prime minister go to consult Sherlock Holmes. Meanwhile the wife, who had gladly escaped the threat of blackmail, is upset at seeing her husband troubled over something she knows nothing about. So she secretly returns to the agents house, decoys the policeman guarding the murder scene, and manages to retrieve the letter from its hiding place under the rug.
Holmes eventually discovers the hiding place, finds it empty and ascertains that the culprit is the foreign secretarys wife. He confronts her and persuades her to return the letter to the dispatch box, where the foreign secretary is happy to discover it.
The first thing that comes to mind these days is that its quite unusual, in fact almost impossible, for a government official to keep his wife completely ignorant of whats going on at the office. They are described repeatedly as a very devoted couple, but that would hardly be the case if he shuts her completely out of his working life.
Then the fact that a government official takes documents home with him to keep them safe is a little hard to believe. Was the British foreign office completely devoid of safekeeping devices to which the official only had access? And although the wife tells Holmes about the spy in the office who told the secret agent about the letter, the detective does nothing to warn the government about him.
This particular story is the last one in that particular collection, and I think it shows that Conan Doyle had become rather tired of the character he had invented. In fact, the story opens with the statement by Dr. Watson that Holmes has retired to keep bees in Sussex and doesnt want any more stories written about him. Conan Doyle killed Holmes off once, and then brought him back to life for the return series of short stories, and the Second Stain account might have been an effort to shut him down once more. But it didnt work. Holmes stories kept coming until only a few years before Conan Doyles death.

The original restaurant was an old fishing boat from Key West in the early 70's. It was called Dempsey's Grill, and patrons dined in the boat. Later that decade, the name was changed to Gilligan's. A chicken house from Sussex County was brought in and added to extend the boat. During the late 80's, the dining room was added. The current owners took over the restaurant and expanded the name to Gilligan's Waterfront Restaurant and Bar and have made it into the local favorite that it is today. The kitchen is manned by Executive Chef, Justine Betts and Sous Chef, Ryan Betts. People come from all over the East Coast to enjoy the award winning crab cake and homemade desserts.

Dear Alumni, Parents, Colleagues, and Friends of UNH:
Last year we were witness to the most successful competitive campaign in UNH history. I am proud to report that 2008-09 was similarly significant and highly successful as well. Across the nation everyone in every endeavor has struggled with the economic downturn, and UNH has been hit equally hard by the economy. While the institution and intercollegiate athletics has struggled to overcome a myriad of financial setbacks, our programs have risen above the fray and exhibited great resiliency. Across the board every coach and student-athlete has performed at the highest level regardless of any perceived or real disadvantages. Everyone is justifiably proud of the effort that was evident throughout the year.
Academically our students have once again exhibited their commitment to the classroom. They garnered many academic distinctions nationally, regionally and institutionally. At our very core the academic excellence achieved by UNH's student-athletes is the foundation from which everything else emanates.
An additional area of emphasis in 2008-09 was our "re-commitment" to community service. This past year our student-athletes accrued over 3100 hours of service to the surrounding communities. We have had a strong history of such service, and it will be an even stronger point of emphasis going forward.
Competitively our programs have duplicated much of last year's accomplishments which represented the most successful year in history. Clearly we are in the midst of a period of broad-based success on the fields, courts, and ice… Six of our teams went on to NCAA post-season play repeating last year's achievement which represented the most ever in post-season play. At winter's end UNH was in 52nd place in the NACDA Directors' Cup standings. Once again UNH finished in the top 100 (78th overall) out of 350 Division I universities in the NACDA Director's Cup. The Directors' Cup is the NCAA's "barometer" of broad-based Division I programmatic success. UNH was one of the highest-ranking public land grants in the Northeast with about every institution ahead of us representing a major conference or having many more resources. This is tangible evidence of the unwavering commitment, work ethic, and culture of success which embodies UNH athletics. Even more astounding is the fact that most every one of the institutions ahead of us represents the resource rich conferences such as the Big Ten, PAC-10, Big 12, SEC, Big East, ACC, etc.
Within this report you will find team-by-team results and success stories…what isn't so evident in those results is the "ethos" that runs through every coach, student-athlete, and staff member. The culture that has been perpetuated at UNH not only embraces challenge, it welcomes it. Regardless of the odds or shortcomings, our programs always compete with great pride, integrity and class. It has become "who we are."
During these difficult economic times, where every day presents a challenge, it is incumbent on all of us in higher education to produce the leaders of tomorrow. At UNH we take seriously our role as educators and mentors in the quest to produce individuals who will serve society well. While the accolades and accomplishments are many, the most important work is not so evident. Every day and in many ways more than 500 student-athletes are being developed into tomorrow's leaders. That is the most important accomplishment of all!

Scottsdale signs up for more red-light cameras
The City of Scottsdale will add cameras to eight intersections to catch red-light runners.
The contract with American Traffic Solutions, Inc. also calls for new portable units and additional electronic feedback boards alerting drivers to the cameras.
Scottsdale will pay ATS $1.2 million the first year. According to a city report, ticket revenue essentially covers the program costs.
Police officer David Pubins said, "Ultimately, the goal is to keep people safe and to have people change their behavior and slow down."
It could take up to 18 months to install the cameras. A 30-day public education period should kick in before citations are issued.
Shawn Dow with Campaign for Liberty, a national group that is fighting photo red light and speed cameras, plans to fight it.
"We've had it banned in over 70 cities and 15 states and we're doing well in Arizona. They're gone in Tempe, Peoria and Glendale," he said.
But the cameras are snapping speeders and red-light runners in Paradise Valley, Phoenix and Scottsdale and he says they're going all out in the Arizona Legislative session starting next month to get the cameras pulled down everywhere in the state.
"We had this pass in the House and fail in the Senate or the other way around for the past four years."
The new locations are:
� Scottsdale and McDowell roads, southbound
�Hayden and Thomas roads, eastbound
� Greenway-Hayden Loop and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, eastbound
� Loop 101 and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard, eastbound
� 64th or 68th Streets and Thomas Road, eastbound
� Thompson Peak Parkway and Bell Road, southbound

Know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but( by faith in) Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Jesus Christ that we may be justified by faith in Jesus Christ. This is a plain LieC.L.N.T.V. Having perceived that a man is not being justified by works of law, except alone through the faith of Christ Jesus, we also believe in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by the faith of Christ

With Christ have I been crucified, yet I am living; no longer I, but living in me is Christ. Now that which I am now living in flesh, I am living in faith that is of the son of God.Lee Damboise II asks you to really check out how differant these Holy Books are written, one teaching deception one teaching truth. Can YOU see it......
If faith were not a graciously and freely given gift of God, but rather our own internally generated response to hearing the gospel, God would be indebted to us. In other words, He would owe us because we, on our own, provided the faith to begin and continue in His way.
Well, people don't take the phrase "gift of God" literally enough. Additionally, when the Scriptures are calling us to the faith of Christ, it's contrasting the priestly systems rather than asserting a lackadaisical system of indulgence of the flesh or that we're indulged in our sloth. Paul's Gospel from Romans to Philemon is a sanctification unto obedience. The priesthoods are being contrasted when it's talking about the difference between the works of the law via the priesthood of Aaron and the principles and precepts of a modified Torah that takes into account Christ Jesus as our High Priest after the order of Melchezedec in the idea of the "faith of God" or the "faith of Christ." The New Covenant that we're adopted into as sons of Abraham is actually tougher to walk out by faith than the Old Covenant. It's not talking about something that Christ does in our behalf in the particular places where it's talking about the faith of Christ or the faith of God. It's talking about our entering in by faith into the nature of Christ Jesus as our salvation and receiving everything for our anointing, spirit, soul, body, finances, ministries, and relationships. Again, the references to the faith of Christ are statements of contrast with the Aaronic priesthood and have nothing to do with an easy salvation. Broad is the way that leads to destruction and narrow is the way that leads to life and there are few that find it. And I understand the atonement. I'm talking about the difference being drawn between the works of the law and the faith of Christ. He exercises His part of the Covenant and we exercise our part of the Covenant 'til we're blessed so that we're a blessing to all of the nations of the earth. And He's the guarantee that sin will never cause us to fall short if we'll keep the Written Word in our heart, mouth, and actions until every thought is brought captive to the obedience of Christ and every care is cast upon God. But again, it's a process of greater diligence than was ever prescribed by Deuteronomy or Leviticus to know the life of a son of God.
"For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." (Rm 12:3, AV)

Hi all , as a former player I would love to come back if they get the game up and running. I would not mind a small sub fee say 7$ to 9$ a month to keep it up and running. I wish they would open up thier beta to a larger base of players. I dont seem to be able to recover my old AC2 account info but i am open to staring a new account at some point in the future. Right now I am in a holding pattern till I see how they handle things.
Login or Register to never see this panel
so far im not very impressed with the support they are giving to their game. 3 weeks and still not a single patch or MUCH NEEDED UI improvement. Almost everytime i try to login it says the server is full and i am getting bumped back to desktop with no queueing system. so if i want to login i have to enter password and load the game 10-30 times since there are no way to queue up to join the server.
the in game map is awful and very small, worst design you could imagine. They nerfed run casting for range so if you are a range class in pvp get prepared to get stunned and 2-3 shoted.
Crazy imbalancement between classes in pve. Most people rolling tank or healer because they are far superior choice for soloing pr small groups.. .
all bosses encounter are tank and spank and require about no strategy.
Very low amount of quests and ga,e content.
Hiding their lack of content with massive mob grind and repeatable quests in which you need to run around the whole map to find a rare spawn that gives a kill X amount of X mob quest.
Remember that the game failed for a reason and you would think that if they wanted to revive the game they would at least release something new in the beta but all they did is just re releasing their old game in the same state if failed to deliver in 2005.
Unless you are terribly desperate for a bit of nostalgia, wait to see what Are Turbine up to with ac2 but like I said so far it looks like they put very little ressources into it.
Their communication on their forums is some of the best I have seen for an MMO tho. tks to Sev and Tolero

You expect UI improvements on a 10 year old game within 3 weeks of beta? Additionally, when literally about a week and a half of that was during the holidays here in the U.S. so they weren't actually in the office (with the exception of a skeleton crew).
Then you bring up that the servers have been unstable, which they have been. So would you rather have a new UI or server stability first? The team has stated that stability of the server and getting the bugs worked out is top priority. Luxury items such as a new UI, when the current UI works well enough will have to wait.
The classes are quite balanced in PvE, people rerolling tank or healer are doing so because there was a severe lack. However, I am able to blow through mobs 8-9 levels higher than myself as an Invoker, which is a DPS class, as well as having no issue finding groups. I still see a wide variety of classes that the people are playing.
Yeah, the bosses in the are a bit tank n spank, but this game also comes from an era where most mmos just had tank and spank mechanics. What made the fights hard was your healing not being able to keep up with healing folks, or not have a proper debuffer. You're not going to have raid instances like WoW does, and frankly not all games need that. Especially since the game is a near endless leveling grind (once the hero quest is fixed).
There's plenty of content for those who know where to find it. Quest givers don't have ! or ? over them, so you are required to explore the game. You constantly see people spamming for groups for various quests in general chat, and there's still even more quests that many seem to have forgotten about.
Honestly, the game failed for two main reasons. First, Microsoft (who used to own the AC franchise) force the game to launch is a severely broken state. Secondly, MS forced Turbine to use untested "features" such as the GUN server, which ultimately didn't work very well. Going months without working chat in a mmo is dooming it to failure. Not to mention the legion of whiners who pissed and moaned that AC2 wasn't AC 1.5, despite Turbine stating that it was going to be a very different game from the get go. If AC2 had launched after the Hero patch when most of the game was fixed, it most likely would have never been shut down.
The community in AC2 currently mostly consists of the folks who played years ago. Many of us purchased AC1 just to play the AC2 beta, and despite the bumps, the game has aged pretty damn well. Once we get server stability and major quests fixed, like the hero quests, we'll better see what they have in store.

When a developer releases a beta version, it suposed to mean they believe they have a playable game, close to what it will be for launch, and they just need help finding bugs and tweaking things like balance. If all they did was re-release the same failed attempt from last time, it isn't a beta. It's an alpha version that requires another year or two or work before it can be declared beta.
I believe this was a both a money grab and marketing tactic to use "beta testers" as a focus group. Either way they win. They get money for nothing and hopefully data to prove to investors it is worth the cost to improve the game.

As for a money grab ........Going on my almost 7 years doing beta's and playing turbine games if you really think they were doing this for a money grab ...well your wrong. And I hope they do win Turbine/WB has been good to DDO/LOTRO for the most part and kept life in both games so why not give AC1/AC2 some love.

You click on the continent in the game map to bring up a larger map of that content that you can scroll around on or have it auto follow you.
The server queues were for one night so far out of the entire time it has been up so that is a bit of an exageration.
They've just announced a patch so there goes the no patch complaint.
Most of your other complaints are on the style of the game, so that part is just odd. It is more of an open world explore and do stuff kind of game. Yes, a lot of that is killing. But I haven't had an empty quest log yet and have also had no problem leveling quickly without mob grinding.

While your expectations from beta are unrealistic, I don't blame you for having them. So many companies have used beta as a pure marketing tool that many people don't even realize what a beta is anymore, expecting a full playable game for free and getting disgruntled the minute they hit a snag.
The most classic example of this is during stress tests when you see scores of people saying the game is terrible because they couldn't play without lag or crashing.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

I subbed for one reason only. terrible nostalgia.
But other than a good atmosphere which settled my memories, there wasn't all that much. Dunno maybe I could fall into it IF there weren't problems with server. As pointed out already, i too had very little success connecting to the server from EU and the few times I did there were almost always server crashes.
I kinda gave up, but if there were updates and stuff actually going on I'd probably play more.
Must say that I haven't researched about their plans, but so far it did leave a taste of money grab in my mouth, than again it's beta and there may be work in progress... a month isn't much development wise but I would expect something meaty if they want to keep rolling.

lol @ my luck.
I tried logging in after I wrote the above post and I failed to connect a few times...bummer. Went to check their boards and server is down, first patch getting applied today.
I personally love the game and plan to continue playing. I just cant see why everyone comes here to bitch and troll about a Beta game they are playing for free. I like the fact that the whinners won't be playing in the future.
If you want to play a game that holds your hand and you can just level without thinking go back to the norm MMO being released everyday since WOW. I personally hate them.
I am sooo excited to be playing AC2 again. The best part of all was Removing SWTOR ,Tera, GW2 among all the other WOW clones from my PC to have room for a real game again.
I wouldn't listen to the whinners that are here to bitch because they spend 5 minutes looking for a ! and can't find a circle on the map where the kill mobs are.
I'll take AC2 over anything out there today and be a happy camper with the great community out there already. The beta is open to everyone subscribed to AC.
Woot! First Patch!
I wish i could play. Silly Work!

If you focus on few flaws, like Ringside, of course it will suck. I find it refreshing that it's not too polished game, keeps things interesting. I don't see anything wrong with the UI. I've seen about every game's UI being called crappy, but I haven't agreed once. It's just matter of getting used to it, and a little characterful UI is bit more fun. Class balance is completely irrelevant at this point really, and bit unbalance is again, refreshing.
Beta is also beta, but I think it is completely playable right now, if you can tolerate some stability issues.
I believe the stability has been resolved no? Havent been able to play since "THe FIx" but that day i was logged in for 8 hours with no crash.
The Ui could use some updating. Like pops up to compare items and stuff like that. BUt it works fine how it is. I think everyone is looking for the ease of use that WOW brought us. The problem is with that Ui is brought on the leash quest running. Kill this collect this crap that has now started turning me off from a game in less than a week. I like to die and have consequenses from it. I miss the corpse runs from AC1. It brought me and my Alleigence together.

Stability has been great so far. Looking forward to see what plans Turbine has for Ac2. Still enjoying myself immensely.

Only few men worked on getting the new hardware compatible with the game and Boom they released their BETA while everybody was home for holidays.
Beta are very good for marketing a game
however this time they should have called it alpha.
I have played a lot of other MMORPG's in the last 7-8 years and coming back to this one has been great. Having said that there are a few things that are slightly to extremely annoying and really taking away from gameplay for me. I feel fixing a few things would make gameplay much more enjoyable. Some of these could even be made to be options.
1. Not being able to move while holding down both mouse buttons is really driving me crazy. I've gotten used to playing this way in other games and coming back here, my hands feel tied.
2. Targeting is very awkward - I think the best thing to do here would be to make monsters that are closer in distance overlap the nameplate of monsters further away, or at least make it so they have priority. The way the nameplates stack is strange. I'm used to targeting with my mouse and it is very difficult to do that accurately and consistently in this game. Having to use the keyboard to target also makes my hands feel tied.
3. Movement feels "laggy" - I'm assuming this is acceleration, which I'm kind of OK with, it just feels different than any other game. I would prefer more of an instant movement.
4. Start auto-attacking after an offensive skill use. Remove the "lasso" effect from the auto-attack.
5. Pathing - sometimes mobs aren't even where they show on screen - or I'll start auto-attacking and end up 80 m away from where I thought I was going with no mob there.
6. The game kind of chokes or jumps from time to time and I have a system that would embarrass anything made 7 years ago.
7. Some animations are clunky, especially with different weapons.
8. The camera is a little awkward when zoomed out, especially in close quarters.
I'm not trying to be nit-picky here. I hope that some of these issues can be fixed, or options added for the same effect. I'm still having fun but I would love to have a better experience in game. Many thanks for bringing back a great title and here's to making it even better than before!

Z. Mason had a game-high 23 points to go with eight rebounds and three blocks in the pivotal SoCon win over WCU. Photo by Frank Mattia.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.---The Chattanooga Mocs powered past Western Carolina 83-73 tonight in McKenzie Arena. Five Mocs posted double digits led by Z. Mason's (Nashville, Tenn.) 23 points in the key Southern Conference victory.
"Good win, I'm really proud of our guys," said Head Coach Will Wade. "That's the best we've played since Elon. Played with an edge…played with a toughness.
"We lost it there in the last six minutes of the first half but recovered it in the second half and did a really nice job."
Gee McGhee (Baton Rouge, La.) tallied 16 points with a career-high 15 rebounds. Casey Jones (New Orleans, La.) added 14 points, while Ronrico White (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Martynas Bareika (Kedainiai, Lithuania) came off the bench to score 11 and 10, respectively.
Brandon Boggs paced Western Carolina with 21 points. James Sinclair added 15 points and a team-high-tying six boards, as Trey Sumler netted 12.
Bareika's three-pointer with 12:05 to play gave Chattanooga its biggest lead of 16, 65-49. The Catamounts answered with a 12-0 run over the next five minutes to get within four, 65-61, on a Sinclair trey. Mason ended the skid with a jumper at 7:02.
Sinclair scored on the Cats next possession on a driving reverse layup.to cut the margin back to four, 67-63. That's as close as it would get.
Two McGhee free throws and a thunderous tip dunk from Mason pushed it back to eight. The Mocs made their free throws down the stretch hitting 10-of-11 in the final minutes to preserve the victory.
The win puts Chattanooga at 10-2 in the SoCon, a half-game behind Davidson in first at 10-1, and 16-11 overall. Western falls to 14-12, 7-4 in league play.
It was a bruising, physical contest as the two squads combined for 45 fouls and 61 free throws. Chattanooga had a 49-38 advantage on the boards behind McGhee's 15 and Mason's eight.
"It's the first time we were able to do some work on the backboards in a while," Wade added. "We did a really nice job sharing the ball and were strong on weak-side rebounding with our guards. For the most part our guards did a good job.
"Gee McGhee did a really nice job picking up 15 rebounds."
The Mocs limited their visitors to 38.2 percent shooting, 26 of 68, from the field including 16.0 percent (4-25) from beyond the arc, a season low for an opponent. Chattanooga shot 42.6 percent (26-61) from the floor, 37.5 percent (6-16) from 3pt range.
It was a quick start for the Catamounts scoring on their opening two possessions for a 4-0 lead on baskets by Sinclair and Kenneth Hall. Chattanooga produced 10 consecutive defensive stops keying a 17-0 run capped by two White free throws at 12:17.
The lead swelled to 16, 30-14, on Lance Stokes' fast break slam off a nice feed from White after a steal near midcourt. It was 14 after a three-pointer by Bareika, 37-23, with 5:04 remaining until the break. Western made a charge.
Sumler's layup with 1:30 left ended a 14-2 spurt to get within two, 39-37. McGhee ended the run with a three-point play at 1:14 to send his squad into the half up 42-38.
The Mocs remain at home for their next opponent. Georgia Southern invades McKenzie Arena next Thursday at 7 p.m. Purchase tickets on GoMocs.com or by calling the ticket office at 266-MOCS (6627).

BELFRY, Ky. — The Belfry High School UNITE club is one of two in Pike County that has been selected as a UNITE Club of the Year for Region 3.
Operation UNITE, Unlawful Narcotics Investigations, Treatment and Education, is an anti-drug awareness coalition that works to rid communities of illegal drug use through undercover narcotics investigations, coordinating treatment for substance abusers, providing support to families and friends of substance abusers, and educating the public about the dangers of using drugs.
There were 95 registered UNITE Clubs in 23 counties during the 2011-12 school year. These clubs had 6,841 student members. With 300 members, the Belfry High School chapter is the largest chapter in the history of the organization, which encompasses 29 counties in Kentucky.
To qualify, each club submitted a scrapbook showcasing their monthly activities, service projects and mentoring activities. Scrapbooks were judged in elementary, middle and high school categories to determine the regional winners.
Jarrod Hunt, Executive Director of UNITE Pike, said the size of the Belfry chapter is a testament to the dedication of the students.
"There's so many of you guys," Hunt told the students. "Our main office in Somerset said are the biggest club in all our counties in Eastern Kentucky. That means Pond Creek Nation seems to be serious. I'm excited with you. When you have more than 300 students in a club, you can make a real difference. I'm learning to never underestimate Belfry. Anything you all do seems to be the biggest and the best."
Winning clubs will be awarded an additional $750 funding for anti-drug activities during the 2012-13 school year and members will be treated to a pizza party by Operation UNITE.
"What we are doing here is very serious," Hunt said. "Everyone of us, I imagine, knows someone who is struggling with drugs or alcohol addiction, someone who has died from that. That's what we are here for, to put a stop to that."

Aiken County Sheriff's Office narcotics investigators have arrested and charged three Aiken residents for a range of drug violations.
Cheryl Wright, Russell Whitt and Adam Sloan were arrested following a traffic stop Tuesday at around 9:30 p.m. while investigators were patrolling the Oxford Trace neighborhood doing follow-ups on drug activity complaints, a press release stated.
After searching the vehicle, police arrested and charged Whitt and Wright, who were in the vehicle, with trafficking heroin, the release said.
Investigators then obtained a search warrant for 1321 Oxpen Court, police said, where an illegal clandestine lab was discovered, leading to the arrest of Sloan.
Sloan has been charged with trafficking heroin, trafficking LSD, possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number, possession of a sawed-off shotgun and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.
The investigation is ongoing.

Green Vale's Rocket Team Takes 6th Place at Finals for 9th Annual Team America Rocketry Challenge Saturday, May 14, 2011 The Green Vale School Rocket Club was the only entry from Long Island to qualify (for one of 100 spots) at the National Finals Fly-off of the 9th Annual Team America Rocketry Challenge, held in Virginia on May 14. The team of eighth grade students placed sixth in the nation that day, and was the only middle school team to finish in the top ten. Over 600 teams of students in grades 7 through 12 participated in this year's challenge.Green Vale's team (Stark Johnson, Clarence Bonebrake and Koorosh Leibowitz) made their first launch of the day just before 9 a.m. By 11 a.m., they knew that they had done well - placing 4th out of the first 54 teams to fly their rockets. By the end of the day, and after another round of launches for the top twenty teams, they were in sixth place with two scores of 13, for a total score of 26. Club mentor Peter Zaloom was thrilled for the team and proud that twice, without his presence in the student-only launch area, they flew their rocket to just 13 feet over the targeted altitude of 750 feet -- in only 43 seconds. The goal for all teams this year, and to produce a perfect score of zero, was to fly a rocket carrying a raw egg to an altitude of 750 feet within 40 to 45 seconds and return the egg, unharmed, with a 15-inch parachute. The club team from Rockwall-Heath High School in Texas took first place with scores of 14 and 2. They will compete at the Paris Air Show this summer against the top teams from France and England.
For more on the Team America Rocketry Challenge, a national contest that aims to inspire students to pursue further study and careers in science, math and engineering, please visit rocketcontest.org. Sponsors of the Challenge include the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and the National Association of Rocketry, in collaboration with the Defense Department; NASA; the American Association of Physics Teachers; Estes, a model rocket manufacturer, and more than 30 industry partners.For a five minute video that captures the day, please visit: http://www.greenvaleschool.org

The top rocket team from Japan for 2011 (seen with members of Green Vale's team) was invitedto participate at TARC in Virginia. Their visit was a great opportunity for all to meet students from an area that was severely affected by the recent tsunami.
Green Vale's Latin Students Excel on National Exam Three Gold Medals Earned in Eighth Grade April 25, 2012
At a School assembly on April 25, twenty Green Vale School students were honored for the scores they earned on this year's National Latin Exam.
In grade 7, Christian Barakat, Julian Coleman, Julianne Cottone, Addison Dolido, John William Doran, Peter Fornell, Elizabeth Gherlone and Alexander Margotta scored above the national average on the Introduction to Latin exam and earned Certificates of Achievement. Additionally, Elinor Simek earned a Purple Ribbon and Certificate for Outstanding Achievement, as she scored 38 out of 40.
In grade 8, students took the Latin I exam and notable scores above the national average of 28 were earned by Katherine Heaney who received honors cum laude and Charlotte Albert, Isabelle Lewis, William Shea and Jack Zerilli, who received Magna Cum Laude. Andrew Gulotta, Claire McDonnell and Louis Morledge each earned Silver Medals and received honors Maxima Cum Laude. Last but not least, Stephanie de Lesseps, Christian Mandrakos and Robert Parker led the eigth grade with the highest honors, Summa Cum Laude, bringing home three gold medals!
Latin is taken as a sixth subject by middle school students at The Green Vale School and is currently taught by the oldest and the youngest teachers on campus – Bill Simonds (Class of '58) and John Felicano, who was born in 1985. Mr. Simonds shared this, "More than 148,000 Latin scholars from all 50 states and 13 foreign countries participate in the National Latin Exam, making it a remarkable challenge. Each of our students have proved that labor omnia vincit (work conquers all)."
Mr. Feliciano added, "I encourage students to take Latin because it is fun and useful. It is something of a code begging to be cracked and once it is, students are able to communicate with ancient authors, who in their writings were trying to navigate through life by asking many of the same questions that we are faced with today. Latin is a rich source of literature and studying the poetry, prose, history, mythology and philosophy forces students to analyze issues with a critical eye, and ask the how and why questions that they need to ask."
Mastery of Latin is one of many traditions at Green Vale that have helped prepare graduates to succeed at some of the finest and most challenging high schools and universities in the country. For more information about Green Vale please visit greenvaleschool.org, or call the Admissions Office at 516-628-5146.

AUSTIN, Texas - Cal State Northridge track and field had a solid first day and a half at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays highlighted by the women's 4x100 relay advancing to Saturday's final.
The women's 4x100 relay team of Dominique Calvin, Sherrina Lofton, Tara Prier and Precious Watkins ran 45.67 to win their qualifying heat on Friday and advance to Saturday's final. Northridge will be running against some of the top relay teams in the country including LSU, Florida State, Baylor, Oklahoma, Texas, Houston, USC and UTEP.
On Thursday, senior Cody Pearce finished ninth in the hammer with a season-best throw of 189-6 (57.77). Pearce bettered his previous season-best of 186-8 (56-89) he threw at the USC Invitational two weeks ago.
Junior Shelese Ruffin also competed on Thursday in the 400 meter hurdles. Running in 20 mph winds, Ruffin ran 61.68 (just .13 off her season-best) and just missed advancing to the event final.
In addition to the women's 4x100 relay success on Friday, the women's 4x400 relay (Prier, Watkins, Jasmine Cox, Lofton) ran a regional-qualifying and season-best time of 3:41.76 to finish 13th.
The men's 4x100 relay team wasn't so fortunate as they were disqualified in the prelims.
The men's 4x400 relay (Kevin Nious, Nic Taylor, Michael Woodham, De'Shwan Waters) ran 3:19.70 and finished 24th in qualifying.
In the women's 100 meters, Lofton ran 11.68 to win her heat but missed advancing to the final by one qualifying spot. Watkins ran her first 100 meter race in over a year and clocked a time of 12.07.
In the men's 100 meters, Waters ran 10.50 to advance to Saturday's final while Ben Santos posted a personal-best time of 10.78.

Competition is good. If Nokia one-ups the iPhone, Apple's next version will hopefully be improved in order to meet the challenge. However, this is all hypothetical. I'm not sure I will trade up when the 3G iPhone is released. How ya going to get people to switch to Nokia when they don't even want to switch to the next iPhone?
Send in the iClones: Nokia "Tube" Edition
When the iPhone was introduced, Nokia's first official response was the corporate equivalent of a raspberry (the spitting kind, not the fruit!). Their second official response was to demo a device which so closely mimicked the iPhone that it quite possibly was one.
"If there is something good in the world then we copy with pride," said Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia's Executive VP & General Manager of Multimedia.
Well, proudly copy it they have! The final device, bewilderingly code-named "Tube" is ready for prime-time (or whatever time it is they relegate programs that knock off last season's hits).
Is Nokia worried about the iPhone and it's popularity? Not according to Tom Libretto, vice president of Forum Nokia (who must be auditioning for a shot on iPhone JEOPARDY!):
"We've done [the iPhone's sales numbers to date] since we've had dinner on Friday."
We would hope so! Since the global sales leader with a complete range from cheapo handsets to high-end convergence devices available in almost every country, on every carrier, on the planet is comparing numbers to a single (albeit revolutionary) iPhone available in only a handful of places on a single carrier each. And Fake Steve claims to be mathlexic! (N95 to iPhone numbers in the US anyone?)
That Nokia has adopted the increasingly popular "if you can't beat them, copy them" strategy -- a strategy that, if Apple had adopted it, there would be nothing for RIM, Samsung, Microsoft, or Nokia to be copying right now -- is disappointing to say the least. But it once again highlights that if Apple hasn't achieved market share, it's certainly achieved market leadership.
Do you want a world where there's the iPhone and every other manufacturer's knockoff of same? Or would you rather see the other companies innovate and revolutionize and differentiate their offerings? What do you think?

Send in the iClones: Nokia "Tube" Edition
Competition is great. One-up'ing is fabulous. But copying last year's innovation is doing neither. If they (the Nokia's, Microsoft's, RIM's, Samsung's, et al.) are simply hoping Apple raises the bar so high they can crawl under it, then we have a problem.
Apple believes in competing with Apple, which has led to a lot of MP3 innovation in an otherwise stagnant market, and hopefully that's carry over to the iPhone, but the other companies really need to step it up.
LOL "send in the iClones" needs a logo and trademark. It would be funnier if Apple were not predicted to be so far ahead after 2Q with it's 3G & SDK goodness. Prediction: see more photos this year of iPhone in specialized professional application, behind camera on movie sets, etc. Just like the Palm pics of old. :cheers:
The ironic thing is that the iPhone is just a clone of the Sony Erricson P900. Once the key flap was removed it was a full touch screen 'PDA' phone with music/video capabilities and 3G.
Sure the new phones are faster but they are almost 4 years behind the times. I have the P990i that i bought in January 2007 and upgrading to the iPhone or the Nokia tube seems like a complete waste for a pathetically marginal upgrade in performance and features.
These new range of phone do have the 'coolness' factor, but i would rather not be one of the sheep clambering at the doors of my local phone shop, ready and willing to throw away my hard earned money on old technology.
sorry to say but the Iphone is a cheap copy of a number of phones as well, look at lg's and sonyericsson earlier releases (except for its os of course). Iam not a hater just think that apple is abusing its name to sell outdated technology (meaning the iphone) to fanboys! ow look at me i've got an Iphone, well good for you, please bring your charger everywhere since it won't last long! i"d have a 2 year old nokia or sonyericsson anytime over the iphone. even my old sonyericsson m still kicks ass..wouldn't change for the world!!
