Free Shadow of Legend MMORPG Beta Test! - Motorola Q Forum

This may be old news to some:
http://www.shadowoflegend.com/web/betatest.aspx

It seems targeted specifically at Moto Q users (and other QVGA devices).

I signed up and specified my Verizon Moto Q Black, along with my extensive beta experiance (currently in the very exclusive Tabula Rasa beta test). I was accepted within 3 hours.

It is playable on the PC, PPC, and Smartphones.

Warning: It is a 900MB download on your memory card and data plan (through an 800K .cab installer) Also, the game uses about 3MB/hour of bandwidth. The full update/download seems to take about 2 hours.

Interesting review:

.. start deleting those tv episodes, mp3s .. or buy a new memory card!

I'm DJTachyon in the game .. see you there!

Neat, was looking for something like this, actually... I'm going to sign up.

Holy crap this takes forever to download/install. And I'm even on FIOS.

Well I finally got it installed. I walked away as it was unpacking the files, and suddenly I heard this blaring music. I came back to the phone, and saw the login screen. Wouldn't let me type anything in. I kept trying, and finally reset the phone. Then it wouldn't load the game. It kept crashing. I know it's in beta so I am not giving them a hard time. I went directly to the executable for SOL and ran it from Explorer, and it loaded up.

Took a while to create my first character, since the left and right keys seem to be reversed in the menus (wtf?) and I just had problems navigating the menus, period. Sometimes it just wouldn't respond to input.

Game loaded and I was surrounded by spiders. Greaaaaaat. I finally figured out how to walk around, and open my character screen. The controls seem clunky, but I do have to still read the manual. I couldn't figure out how to exit or pull up any menus really, so I just turned the phone off, lol. I'll read the manual later on. In all honesty though, I am actually impressed with the scope of the game, considering the platform. Not at all interested in the PC version. If they can pull this off reasonably well on a handheld device, that would be interesting.

I think I might have to give this beta a whirl. I did Everquest beta in grade school...lol
