9Dragons - Play At Your Own Risk
« on: June 29, 2007, 03:39:05 AM »

This is a new MMO from Acclaim.  It's your standard martial arts theme, windows only, can lag like a m'fer, etc etc.  The content is good and fairly well planned.

here comes the bad stuff:

Strike one: The word filter they use is just absurd.  Words like support, associate, etc are FILTERED.  Plain ol lame.

Strike Two: GameGuard is their anti-cheat program.  This thing is basically a rootkit.  BEWARE!

Strike Three:  They run on Microcrap servers which causes the game to lag spike HORRIBLY not to mention the web servers get overloaded as well.  If you have the game up and running, you cant even use your printer while the game is on.  GameGuard inserts itself between you and your OS. 

I've quit playing since my frustration level with stupid issues and lack of getting it fix has come around.

Acclaim runs a lot of Free to Play MMOs. With that, you get crap support and crap quality under the hood. The GameGuard deal would piss me off, because if it installs itself as a higher level driver (which it sounds like it does), then I'd probably come out with something to disable it, because that's just unethical.

Agreed.  It is unethical.  I know with GG running I can not print or do a lot of normal functions.
