wayfarer

If you could get your hands on a private WoW server you would be laughing all the way to the bank.

Here is the list of top selling games for the week of Sept 14-17 2008 according to NDP market research co. 1. Warhammer Online: Age Of Reckoning 2. Spore 3. Warhammer Online: Age Of Reckoning Collectors Ed 4. Crysis: Warhead 5. The Sims 2 Apartment Life Expansion Pack 6. World of Warcraft: Battle Chest 7. Spore Galactic Ed 8. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe 9. Stalker: Clear Sky 10. World of Warcraft With all the hype behind it, warhammer online holding 1st and 3rd spots for its game and collectors edition respectively is no surprise. The real shocker I found is WoW bringing up 6th and 10th spot. (battlechest is the original game plus TBC expansion) For a game that is almost 4 years old, this is incredible. Source

LOOK! PINK MARGERITAS ON THE TABLE OVER THERE! *watches everyone that posted in this thread run to the table* I'll have a beer myself.

My warrior priest is now level 16. We took our first keep yesterday, that was incredibly cool. I'll be on during the day alot. No guarentees at night because my WoW guild raids from 8-12 est. That being said, my guild has been grinding really hard on new content and I have not been getting the call to help out and that does'nt look likely to change anytime soon. So if I'm on during those times it means I'm on call in case I'm needed to fill a spot in the raid. There is a new patch due out for WoW anytime now, and when it comes out I will be less available in WaR. I am having alot of fun though.

Ok, added greyfell & nikolas, my toon is wayfarer.

Pffft I'll be pushing 20 by monday.

Alright, I have a level 5 warrior priest on heldenhammer. Gonna put some time into him today.

Called EA-mythic. Server transfers are not available at this time, nor do they have any info on when/if they will be available. Dam I'm really digging my toon, he's at level 15 now & I've put some work into getting him geared. This toon is taking on other toons two and three levels above me and winning. /cry

Anyone find out about server transfers? I could'nt find any info in the database, I'm thinking about calling the 800 number.

Anyone know if server transfers are available? I just picked what was recommended, I knew I should have jumped on a realm that someone was on. I'm having alot of fun with this ATM.

I just got my warrior priest to level 12 after playing pretty much all weekend on it. Because the level cap is so low the levels move a little slower, otherwise I would start over to hook up with you guys. Problem is there is no secret my days in this game are nubmered with a large content patch due out for WoW anytime now. At best this game can only be an alt game that I will play when there is not much going on in WoW. Mind you that is something I have been looking for. Too many bugs and not enough effort being put into vanguard, an incredibly bad loot sysyem with LOTRO. I never tried AoC, and I'm not likely to now with WaR.

Fresh view at level 12..... I got my warrior priest to level 12 last night and I must say I'm really starting to see some of the color in this game. I still think the graphics are terrible. Wow's graphics are "cleaner" and more detailed. You can't compare this games graphics to games like vanguard, you just can't. Maybe I'm a little harsh here but given the hype behind this game, and the release date of late 2008, I think the graphics could have been a little better. This game does have alot more tactics in PvP then my initial thoughts. The way this game is intertwined is kinda cool. Once you get to your first flightmaster you can get to any of the three flightmasters of that level plus the capital city. Once you open up the next tier warcamp you can get to all three flightmasters in that tier. It's important to travel between all three and get your influence up high enough to get the good rewards in each chapters public quests. All three have different rewards so you can score some pretty good loot definately giving you an advantage on the battlefield. I'm really having a lot of fun with this now.

Levelling up seems pretty easy enough. The levels are harder to grind than most MMO's, but this is understandable given it's low level cap of 40. I have only played 2 classes so far, but it seems like there is some degree of balance. Like I said earlier whoever nukes first wins, and all classes seem to be capable of that. I have not seen any broken skills so far, but my warrior priest is only level 4 and my archmage is level 9. I'm going to put a little more time into this and see where it goes, though I'm sure the new WoW patch will be available on tuesday and I'll be grinding more there. I've been having a hard time finding people to do the public quests, I'm wondering what the overall health of this game is like.

Here are my thoughts on this game at level 9; - One point that has not been mentioned this far is that four of the original six major cities have been axed from the game prior to launch. The only auction houses in the game at the moment are in the two major cities in the human starting area, which I have yet to figure out how to get to. The way this game is set up, I'm really trying to grasp how four major cities got axed when the whole point to the end content is to save the major cities of your faction while sacking the major cities of the opposing faction. - If you find an item you would like to sell, there is no way of advertising it in general chat, that I am aware of. I have yet to see any advertisments from people selling anything. Finding gear is very difficult here, though I have seen some pretty good items from public quest loot and renown rewards. - The graphics in this game are terrible. I have games that are several years old that have better graphics. I'm really surprised anyone is having difficulties with this game. - The musical score, when it plays which is not often, is not bad but really fails to deliver the hopeless, all is lost, general mood that seems to be the focus of this game. - Alot of what I have experienced here really reminded me of my trial in Dark Age of Camelot. The graphics are slightly better in WaR, but it is essentially a clone of that game. Seriously, anyone that is thinking about this game should go and download the free trial for DAoC and play it first. - As for PvP I found it pretty cool the way the game flows, taking control of one point, losing another, the consequences of your actions all playing a role in the general flow of the entire game, both PvP and PvE. This is all the same as DAoC however, and one on one tactics seem to be lacking. There is no specific classes to look out for, no counter to what an enemy is doing, whoever nukes first wins. Kill the healer and it's all over for that paticular fight. - One redeeming quality I must say is the public quests. As long as enough people are contributing, these quests are alot of fun, and very rewarding, in both experience and gear. In this regard WaR is groundbreaking, and I'm pretty sure we will see this aspect of gameplay spread to all of the major MMO's. - Don't even bother worrying about professions. You are only allowed one crafting and one harvesting profession. Which is not bad considering there are only two crafting, and three harvesting professions available. I thought I would try one, but after finally finding someone that could teach me at level 5 my ONLY recourse was to go back to the level one - two area and farm for rare drops that I could use to get materials to level this. (yes level five drops are too high to start aquiring mats) absoloutely unbelieveable. I dropped the whole idea at that time. Anyone who considered this would be competative to WoW in any way shape or form is seriously mistaken. This game needs a ton of work to salvalge it into a form good enough to even be considered a major MMO, let alone a contender for WoW. Unless this game gets a major transformation I can not forsee myself going past the 30 day trial period. Although I have yet to play EQ 1 or 2, nor have I played AoC, I do feel at this time that the only MMO that is worth considering as an alt game for WoW is LOTRO especially given its 9.99 per month subscription fee.

Ok, the server I'm on is Hochland. One thing I failed to mention earlier. I have to accept the player terms of agreement every time I log in. I really hope this is a bug, becuase it's really annoying. Has no effect on the gameplay, unless I decline then I don't play lol.

I picked this up this morning & started it up. I dunno if anyone has played DAoC, but this game is incredibly similar. I probably should have expected that, seeing as mythic is the creator of that game and said they were baseing it on that. I was really impressed at how smooth the game ran for a new release. The information is easily accessible through the tome of knowledge, controls are standard hotbar/point & click MMO fare. The graphics are lacking IMO though, comparing this game to the likes of Vanguard or LOTRO, or even WoW for that matter. The public quests are the absolute coolest thing I have ever seen in a MMO, I must say. Look for Blizzard to incorporate this idea into WoW. They would be foolish not to. I have little experience on the PvP side of this so far. I tried one battleground at level 5, a basic take & hold 2 points on the map deal. Once both points are secure for 10 seconds a large explosion occurs clearing most of the battlefield of both friend and foe alike. It was kinda cool, but I found myself up against level 11 players and, despite the game boosting me to level 8 to compensate, they made short work of me pretty quick. Open world PvP is all over the place. There are areas that seem to move around, that are automatic flag areas. This represents the ebb and flow of battle, but again, I am only a level 7 ATM and have yet to see any significant opposition. I'm curious about some of the larger pvp areas, and I'm itching to get to one of the big cities to have a look. I definately will not stop playing WoW for this, but it is certainly different. I have a high elf archmage. I'll post up again later what server it's on cant remember ATM, I'm not sure how much time I'm going to sink into this game though, new patch coming out for WoW very soon. This will give me some much needed change for a little while though.

I don't remember completely about this, but I believe the concept behind this councelling is to bring the non-Catholic into the church. Both of my brother-in-laws had to get baptized in order to marry my sisters in our (at that time) Catholic church, if I remember corectly. Don't quote me on this Unclean, things may have changed, or maybe the Cathlolic clergy does things differently in your area. But, they're standpoint will be that they are not just marrying someone in the church, but rather they are marrying someone INTO the congregation. No offense Unclean but two people having such completely different points of veiw might have serious complications much later in life, despite how commited the two of you are right now to tolerate each others point of view. I'm not trying to cause a fight here. I'm sure that you will have to do things that, given your values, would seem ludicrus. Neither of my two brothers-in-law have, nor intend to, attend church since they were baptized, so I guess that might come down to how much your willing to swallow in order to get married in that church. Like I said don't quote me on this, but I would certainly be asking the question at your next meeting if your marraige there requires you to get baptized, because I'm pretty sure it's a requirement for any marriage in a Catholic church.

One of the things I tend to do when I'm playing a MMO that I'm not sure I'm going to stay in or not, is to take up as many harvesting professions as I can as quickly as possible. (at the earliest level) You never have to go far out of your way to harvest while questing. I made a ton of money doing this in LoTRO gathering skins, timber, and ore.

This game sounds really interesting, and like you said, WoW did'nt have any end game raiding when they first came out. I will not be dropping my WoW account, but I want to try this game to give me some variety during the day. The LoTRO storyline quests are really cool, so I'm thinking the public quests are along the same lines.

I read in PC Gamer a little about instances in this game. They are all 6 man groups, nothing more. Some are open world, some are actual instances. The public quests looks interesting, maybe similar to the storline quests in LoTRO? I think this game is going to be all about the PvP, any PvE will be gravy.

It's about dam time!!!

Are you in there Kenger? how is it? Did you preorder online, or from a store?

Thoughts? Please elabotate.

Anyone in the open beta for this?

I posted this a while ago, but no one seemed interested. The release date is fast approaching, and I have been really into WoW lately. This game does look really good, hopefully it has some staying power.
