Hi Travis,

It definitely wasn’t a teaser. Don’t know what could be the problem. Maybe try changing your screen resolution. If that doesn’t work I would try the version available from http://www.Gametop.com They have changed the name to offroad Racers, or more likely renamed it for the gamegiveaway. The game is a commercial one; however the developer will get money for allowing their game to be given away via Gametop.

I keep getting new updates from the site when I launch the game, but when I try to log in I get “Error- server not responding.”

Is this a glitch due to the number of people who are new signing on or just an overall foul up?

After running the update the game finaly launched and I got to tweek the display settings. As it is now 10pm in Toronto and my bedtime I won’t get to play it untill later.
I hope this still helps some late owls (sorry it took so long)

P.S. As the last post shown is from 3:56pm this probably won’t be posted till Monday.

I haven’t been playing as much lately, although that’s due to a number of issues, not related to the game. Things have improved a lot since the initial offering; in general, things are more balanced, there are some a couple additional cards for each faction, plus there’s now a sixth faction. The game looks noticably better, but you won’t mistake it for the latest and greatest big name titles, but it does not need to be that slick-looking. There are still some issues at times, but the developers are quick to try to resolve them.

Last time I logged in, they were getting set for World Conflict – it’s been a few days since then, so I don’t what – if anything – has happened yet. If they’re still preparing, this might not be the best time to bring new players in, as certain things have been altered for the time being.

For those who picked this up before and want to take advantage of this offer, you are allowed two accounts. One of the reasons why Silverlode asks for personal information is help enforce this, trying to make things fair (pvp, rankings, market). If you have a bunch of people living together and they want separate accounts (since only one Nation per account can be “active” at a time), if you contact support and tell them your situation, they’ll work with you. As for upgrading a free account, I’m not sure if this can do that. Other offers elsewhere have given a promotional code that can be used on the Saga website, which I used to upgrade one of my accounts (the other, I paid for the registration).

It takes a bit getting used to, but if you can get by the learning curve and not get upset that it’s not DX10 shiny, you might like it. Of course, if you’re convinced that it’s a demonic game and the sort of game that cause violence, your mind’s probably already made up about Saga.

And no, you don’t have to pay a dime if you don’t want to, and updates will come to you as for anyone else. Despite what GOTD’s pages say, this isn’t treated quite the same way as other offerings. One account is the same as any other, registered or not, regardless of where the player got it.
