Fun game, kind of laggy because of all the flags at the start. Gets quite repetitive eventually.

It seems like a good start, but never really feels 'gamey', unless I've missed something. And yeah, the paths around the middle make it really laggy - perhaps it would work better if hills only drew paths to nearby hills.
The game is now pretty much completely... uh... flagged up.
At first I thought the brown stuff was a weird kind of background, but after seeing this screenshots, I realized that it's actually paths. As there are lot of flags now, I presume the game is a bit popular? :D
Every time someone needs to try a MMO, right? Obviously ambitious, but relatively unfinished. You need some sort of scrolling background to indicate that you should walk outside of the paths.
This is such an awesome idea, I wished it had actually worked for me. :(
The registration and login went ok, and I loaded the game world and heard the music and could walk around, but as soon as I walked onto an unclaimed hill, asploreheim.exe spiked my CPU and never went down. I had to force quit. When I tried to log in again afterwards, the game immediately crashed on login. Alas.
This thing killed my internet connection, I think. I logged in and then 3 minutes later my router went down. lol
All joking aside... this is a neat idea, it just doesn't work as well as you'd like.
It crashes everytime I move the cursor on top of the button to register and/or login... :(
I found it very buggy. Most times it would crash as soon as I hit the login button. As others have said, it could use some kind of background to indicate that you're moving, and it really needs some kind of goal beyond the basic 'flag as many hills as you can' goal. Maybe the ability to build your own castle once you've flagged enough hills?
If I try to register, it says Server not found.
nice idea with the multiplayer
Interesting, though shortlived.
I want to play without registering, create a test / test account! ;) Or make use of facebook connect ..ppl hate another reg :)
Awesome idea.
Really buggy.
unable to register and cursor blinked too fast
