Hmm... I think that an average of 300~500 players per day.

It's one of the best MMORPG's that I've played.

See you on the forums!


PS: The beginner zones are usually unpopulated, but there's always someone willing to help.

I've played UO and WOW - I LOVE this game - the people and action once you get high enough in levels is GREAT!

Freak,

When I started several months ago it was very sparse in the beginner zone but once I hit the war zone it was much better. After the latest patch, I was wondering around the beginner zones and there were lots of people playing and leveling together with more joining everyday. If you choose Alsius I'd be more than happy to help...

other than the fact that they're having problems with the server right now, this game is awesome. and addictive. there are usually anywhere from 300 - 500 ppl playing at any given time. but that's between the three realms. when you choose one you won't be able to communicate with the other 2. only to kill them :)


just saw your new message. the server is down. hardware problems i think. it'll be up again tonite or tomorrow morning. and don't forget to join Alsius when you log in :)

Syrtis is way overpopulated. I'd say Alsius is the least populated but even then there are always plenty of ppl around. I'm not sure if Alsius or Ignis has the most english speaking people. there are a LOT of spanish ppl here due to the fact it's an argentinian game :beerchug:

Here are the basics.... you start at initiation island and work your way through what we call the safe-zone. there are a total of about 175 quests to help you get up through the lvls. you can be a mage, warrior, or archer in the beginning. at lvl 10 you choose a subclass. warlock, conjuror, knight, barbarian, hunter, or marksman. when you get to around lvl 30 or higher, you can safely (sort of) go into the warzone. there you can continue to lvl til you hit 50 (highest lvl) and fight the other two realms either by hunting them individually or fighting at fort wars. these are the bare basics. it would take me 25 hours to tell you everything. since the server is down read the forums and the info on regnums page.

First of all, I'm a Spanish player, so forgive me if you find my English a little bit unnatural.

This game is war centered. The story goes something like this:

We had one big and large realm that fas formed by ignis+syrtis, and then alsius in the mountains, at north. One day, some elfs on Syrtis tried to perform some necromancy ritual and were sent to the exile -and hopefully to the oblivion- by the rest of the mages. Some Alturians escaped, met with the group of necromancers and headed for a new promised land on the desert (yeah, it sounds a little bit biblical, but that's the point). When they got to their new land the elfs turned their skin to a bluish colour.

Meanwhile, Alsius had population problems or something like that with those goat-like creatures called Ughtars, the dwarfs and humans. Their resources turned scarcer, so they got to find new lands and expand their territory.

Nowadays you have Syrtis (the green kingdom, the "lettuces", wood elfs, humans and semi-elfs), Ignis (the red kingdom, often called "tomatoes", with dark elfs, humans and moloks) and Alsius (the blue kingdom, mostly full of goats and dwarves) fighting for the WarZone, a piece of land the middle of the map.
What I like from this game is the Conjurer role, it's the only one who can heal, buff and revive people. It's very customizable, with almost 250 spells.

Good stuff... Thanks guys, looks like a fun RvR game.

Im actually not at all a F2P game liker, but theres just something about Regnum that is really appealing to me. Also the fact that theres not ALOT of people means I can get to know most of them very well, and thats the fun part.

I cant wait to play it - bring up teh servers plx !



Also I just wanna know, is there crafting in the game? I'm not a big crafting fan, just a HUGE PvP fan but just wanna know if there is crafting.

Nope there is no crafting. If you join Syrtis and need help, drop our clan a line. :) We are always happy to help new players. ;)

It's not implemented yet. I'll tell you something funny about this game: it was made by 8 people with less budget than a mortgage. In other words, it's a miracle what the devs have done.

The people on NGD are working in order to solve all the lag problems, but this one (the server being down) it's a problem of the company that hosts the server in Sweden. The only thing we (NGD included) can do is to wait.

We currently have 157 members but not all of them are active. Most of our members are from Europe and the US so our clan is most active on their day time. We also have members from Australia and Asia but they are fewer so the clan is less active during their day time.

None of us would know, you don't get to communicate with other realms :P everyone will probably say that their own realm has lots of english speaking folks. Just pick the one you like best.

Hi prestontiger,

Welcome to this fantastic community of Regnum Online.

As you might have read the servers are offline due to some problems and wont be up till probably tommorow.

Other than that, all the 3 Realms have a good decent amount of English users as well as from all parts of the world, so pick the realm your would like.

Regards.

There's plenty of english speakers running around and most the spanish one's can speak english as well. Any of the three realms are fine to choose from for english speaking players. I myself am in Alsius.

Join Alsius or I will clobber you everytime I see you in the wz :D

j/k

Doesn't matter which realm you join there will be enough English speakers for you to interact with. It's best if you try to get know the game and its people a bit and then join an English speaking clan. You won't feel lonely at all.

Ignis, tho most mature clans these days don;t go looking for low lv members as most of them are one hit wonders tho theres some n00bs running around nobody wants in any clan.

Once the server is back up if you want help in ignis look up my chars, I'll most likely be on Yo and Duo doing the recently added quests.

hello, well it's a nice game. But I cna tell you that the server usually isn't down this much.

First you'll level up to 30 or 31. Around there you should have a decent character to get out in the war zone where all three realms meet and fight all day long, one big zone of pwnage if you may say so. Although you can go out there in level 25 unless you're a warrior just to help defend one of the forts there are. There are 6 of these and 3 castles, 2 forts and 1 castle for each realm. Each fort can be captured by any realm, but if the fort in one realm is taken by another that whole realm will come and try to take it back.

Hope that sounds interesting. I can tell that my first time in the war zone involved no sleep due to the excitement ;).

Oh and if you'll probably like this. http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?t=12656 it's a complete clan registry and it'll tell you about the choises of clans you have whether you join Syrtis(the realm I'm in) Ignis or Alsius. In syrtis there's also some national clans such as polish and german if that's your native language.

See you in game :)

Oh and if I should be honest you should join Alsius, they seriously need some firepower and you seem to be oncomming and very promising firepower :D

The best advice I could give to you new players is...

"Ign1s is t3h secks".

Nah just choose whichever appeals to you the most, I'm sure you will be able to find a nice group of English speakers once there.

If you join Syrtis, there's quite a few english speaking clans out there...Like ours, Inquisition, as well as GoP and Order of Daggers which are what i can think of off the top of my head. If you wanna join Inquisition, contact Anpu, Malich, Stooge, Kaeleeya or Galynn...There's probably plenty others, but that's all I can think of. To be honest, I think Alsius has the most english players, but lots of spanish ppl can speak english too so it's hard to compare.

Wow, Syrtis is so appealing with pale elves... "I want to be Legolas, yeepee". No wonder why most 13 years old choose it :D. As an Ignitan, I'd enjoy life in Alsius as well but Syrtis? Never :D

It seems to be good.

I am level 20 in two different areas, and I must say that I enjoy the game and generally the people seem friendly. As with all MMORPG's (I've played a few) there are always the odd ones that upset things, but here this seems to happen less.
Some big advantages appear to be that there are diverse NPCs in any one area, whose combat grade changes as you level up, the terraines are both expansive and diverse, and you have more control during combat than many I have played.

One really big advantage is that the devs don't interefere, or at least they don't seem to; they let you get on with the game, and they have the courtesy to advise you when the system is going offline.
Thanks for that guys, I appreciate it.

Be cautious about the clan you join. There are differing aspects in each clan - here is a good thread link that gives the English speaking clans for you:

Good luck.

When I was playing at the beta stage I used to say that... After the game was released officially I moved to Syrtis because of my friends (and some other personal reasons).
