(I didn't try the 1.1 update) At last I can have a decent play experience... actually, I was not playing any more because of this, I'll try again now !

maria Group: Members Posts: 928 Joined: July 2002 Posted: July 31 2002, 13:20 hi jerome! all this week i've been able to enter the game without so big problems since i've downloaded the 1.1a version   ... i hope it continues the same... before registering (about what i have to say i haven't had any problem, i was frightened about this because i had read you can't do it after the fourth time, and that was my fifth...) i deleted all the temporary internet files and it goes well, yesterday night i had a problem trying to go the sbb from inside mvr, but i don't mind....    after being a month trying to solve big problems... i had to take my machine to "hospital" twice!! thanks for your answer -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming...

Manny Group: Members Posts: 48 Joined: May 2002 Posted: July 31 2002, 18:35 No problem.  I hope you can enjoy the game now. Just one advise: don't try to finish it in a rush but take your time. Back to top

maria Group: Members Posts: 928 Joined: July 2002 Posted: July 31 2002, 18:44 yes... i'm doing this... i love flying... sometimes i look for the rings but a lot of them i only fly and enjoy it's a place full of peace and there is beautiful people too... -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming...

Jerome C Group: Members Posts: 138 Joined: Mar. 2002 Posted: Aug. 01 2002, 05:52 Yes, it's a game where you must not be in a hurry for sure, though I understood that it can be quickly "finished" for usual players, but you'll miss the best parts of it. I don't play often enough (but quite a lot, considering the very bad conditions I was experiencing), and the best number of rings I ever had was 5. But I've not taken the spoilers yet, maybe I'll do that if I get stuck for too long : flying is cool, but after a while, seeing the same stuff again and again tends to become boring Have a nice play time.

maria Group: Members Posts: 928 Joined: July 2002 Posted: Aug. 01 2002, 12:44 in my case, the best number of rings has been five too, i have seen one more on the back of an insect near the cactus, i've managed to join the insect as an ava, but i don't know how to get the ring... a question of time...   i've had mvr from the very beginning, though the first month i couldn't enjoy because of the problems i told you, but i flew alone and one could think that what you say about the boredom is true, but i have to say that i'm discovering you can make different things inside mvr... try to get the rings, fly alone as going for a walk while listening to music (i love this now!! you can fly with other people and here you have different possibilities too, you can take a trip with others over the canyon or inside the snow cave or near the cross... flying together watching their real movements or perhaps you can even invent games inside mvr why not?  the difference with other games (i always say 'game' is not the best word for mvr) is that this is more a place to go, a place where the background is given but there's a lot to imagine by any of us and you can communicate, this is very important for me. and i hope that when all the places in mvr are known as the rooms at home tubular world will be released and we'll be discovering again... i wish m.o. keeps on working in this project... -------------- ...morning and evening i'm flying, i'm dreaming...
