It seems like EQ2 and WoW are the 2 big mmorpgs coming out in the next few months. I'm curious how many folks around here area planning on playing either of these.

Fileplanet is bringing it's subscribers (like me ) a spot in the stress test phase of both the World of Warcraft beta, and the Tribes: Vengence beta. Both are available for download to anyone with a FP subscription (like me ). For the WoW beta, you log in, get a unique key, and then download the 2GB+ file and wait for the stress test to begin. I'll let you know how it goes .

Has anyone been accepted to test out WoW? I was wondering what its like, debating on wether i am going to purchase it or not.

is out...

Phase 3 should be starting sometime this week, they are putting a new patch out today and they said after it smoothly launches they are going to send out more invite emails so make sure you start checking your spam box for beta invites in the near future.

Anyone play it? I love it and id love to play a game on teamspeak sometime!

War Craft III is a great game.. I have the expansion and I play it all the time. If you want to join me in a game holla at me.. account: jeffe If you guys want please put your accounts so I know..

They are sending out the Phase 2 invites in waves so within the week I will have my beta.

http://www.xenogenic.net/wowpics My friend updated with some more pics today

These are hosted on my RL friend's website and are screenshots he took from his alpha/beta acct. http://www.xenogenic.net/wowpics

HAHAHAHA! What an awsome site http://www.taurentotem.com/cam.htm

Check out the available classes here and tell us what class you'll be (with which race). Myself, I'm probably going to be a Dwarven warrior or paladin

I read the vnboards a lot This is a nice thread from a beta tester. http://vnboards.ign.com/WoW_General_Board/...89/66171752/

Ill see you around Going to have my RL friend that was in the alpha hook me up with whatever he can.

For any of you folks that played a wizard in EQ, you are likely familiar with graffe.com. (Home for the wizzys of norath). Their is a long post on their forums by one of the long standing members on his thoughts on the game and compares the features against other mmorpg's. http://www.graffe.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15526 ......it's kinda long.

Beta emails went out today Anyone get one? Nothin for me.

This kinda came out in the other thread. But i really dont wanna sift through all that. So, Tell what you wanna be and discuss why here! Im probably gonna be Gnomish Warlock Its ont he alliance which is good times. I love those kind of characters, you jsut see this little tiny gnome in a black robe running around. And he summons and Infernal Unit thats five times the size of his character and twice the size of your huge Orc.

A couple days ago Blizzard's World of Warcraft community site went public. Check it out here Here's some information on many parts of the game.

Is all of this (everything you guys are talking about in this forum) based on WarCraft III? Perhaps consider creating a topic that could be pinned that describes what you're doing, any mods (with links) that are necessary...perhaps a couple people to contact, etc. I don't have time to play, but as an old WCII player I've kinda browsed through the topics in here a bit....and to be honest, I get lost real quick with all the new terminology. Just a suggestion to put up a "welcome" type thread for any newbie travelers.

Start throwing suggestions out guys! I know Crowbar is planning on setting a gc community guild up (I'm assuming .gc membership is not required for this) and he recently asked for names. The other thread though is getting crowded so give your suggestions here. Maybe at the end CB or some other mod will toss a poll up with the best ones and we can vote. But we need ideas first! Unfortunately I've no ideas at the moment but I'll post somethin up as soon as I think of it. Cya!

As some of you may or may not know, as in most MMORPGs, there will most likely be different types of servers for WoW. The most likely ones will be: Normal, FvF (horde vs alliance), PvP (player vs player) and RP (role plaiyng). I'll go into these in detail. Normal: This is "normal" pvp. In wow, there will be instanced zones (maps) that will have pvp (not sure if it is anyone kills anyone, or just FvF) and only in these zones. That means no killing anyone else unless in these zones (or if they agree to a duel..) which basically means it is consentual pvp. This is good if you never want to fight other people, because you can avoid those zones. FvF: This server is great for raiding other towns and for long PvP battles. This means any member of the alliance if open to attack from the horde and vice-versa. This is my personal choice. PvP: Also known as PK servers. These servers are where anyone can kill anyone at any time, no restrictions. Some people see these as suspensful because an attacker could be hiding around the corner at any time, although I've heard horror stories about higher leveling slaughtering newbies. Personally this would be my least favorite. RP: This is where all the people who want to role play go. Role players tend to be more mature (big generalization there) and nicer (again..). These RPers usually interact with eachother within their characters. So instead of going up to someone and saying "hey man, how's it been going? wanna party up?" they would say something like "Oh, I've heard about your deeds before, care to group with me? (I know that sounds cheezy, I suck at doing it.. but you get the point)" Of course, not everyone has to RP on these servers.. its just encouraged here, and generally everyone who would on normal servers go to these. Well there you go.. I'm interested in seeing what you guys will choose. I tried to make a poll but it wouldn't let me.

I've not touched WC since we used to play WCII at Lans. Who runs the WC servers? How does that work? Does it require anywhere near the bandwidth as other games? Is this something that Mantis could be used for? My prediction is that Mantis is going to be FTP only (and Homer's gonna owe me 5 bucks). However, Mantis can really do more than just FTP for our members, so we're open to possibilities that would be useful IN the community...(the DMZ as it stood until upgrade was a mess of a DM server that nobody we know was using)

I can see already that people all want to be different races on different sides of the war. I would like to create a clan from the start made up of community members, and possibly even find some new members as the game gets going. However, it seems that to do this, we must decide which side we'll be on. Now, you'll be able to have multiple characters, I'm assuming. So if the majority decides on, say the Alliance, you can still create your Tauren character and alternate using your Alliance character on planned clan times, and your Horde character when you're on your own. The Blizzard F.A.Q. says this about the Horde vs the Alliance: So, it seems that we'll have to pick one side or the other. Vote up, and give us a good reason. Or, if you don't think a community team is a good idea, say that instead.
