Anyone play around with this yet? Would anyone be aware if it works on dial up?

VO is a lot of fun, and getting better all the time.
Right now there’s not a whole lot to do in the game, except fighting other players, so if you’re a PvE-person, wait a while for even more missions to get added or you might get bored.
The game is specifically designed to be playable even on dialup. While I’ve got a pretty good connection I sometimes leave heavy downloads on while playing. Works great just the same.
The most important part of the game is to get a hold of someone to play with. The ingame chat provides some interaction, but nothing beats actual contact with other people.
Most experienced players, myself included, try to help out new players and show them the ropes, even though the new tutorials cover most of the stuff we used to answer the newbies on.
The download isn’t that big, either…
Oh, and the trial is measured in actual ingame-time, so don’t get confused because it seems a little short.
See you ingame!
