I'm going Dwarf Iron Breaker most likely.  But if my guild decides to do Destruction on lunch then I will be playing a Black Orc. What ever i do i'm being a tank. :D

To early to tell for me, will end up looking at videos and stats then eventually trying each out for myself.

Im going for chaos chosen

DARK ELVES ALL THE WAY, GOTTA MAKE A HALF NEKED HEAVY METAL BITCH WITCH LOL 

Well I have played on pvp servers and seen what happends when sides get unbalanced. the side with the most people usely gets to go zerging across the country side killing a few people here and there but not much else. They may raid a city but they can never hold it for long because to many of them are not dedicated to the same goal. once they would get the enemy city most people would just leave because the under dogs know never fight the enemy head on. so with no one there to keep peoples intrest they would start leaving and look for some one to fight.

Meen while the underdog side is off some place else attacking the a target that is less defended and still has plenty of people to kill. And when the zerg shows up they scatter to strike again another day. Simply gurilla tactics.

Also as far as the Warhammer world is conserned i have alway felt it was Order that has alway been outnumbered but they aways seem to hold back the tide verse the Choas.

Now more then before i want to play a high elf Archmage. GO underdogs 

High Elf Archmage... the perfect class/race combo ... so glad they made the High Elf healer a nuker =)

I agree with Lewkas. High Elf Archmage all the way. I know order will be outnumbered but that is something, I hope, will attract people who like a challenge and being the underdog.

Whatever Class I play it will be High Elf. I enjoy being on the outnumbered side :p

Swordmasters have to be the biggest dissappointment in my book. I have a feeling the Dark Elves are just going to steam roll the High Elves  on every server when it comes to race vs. race matchups.

I am sure they will, assuming that the size of one's force matters a lot and zerging is possible, because I think Dark Elves will outnumber High Elves by at least 25%, and something nearing 100% would not surprise me.

 

Dark Elves always attract emos ("My life, like, sucks...I am so dark and misunderstood," says the middle-class white teen with an allowance) and horny people, which seem to make up a large percentage of players. Add in the normal people who happen to want to play Dark Elves, and you get a formidable force.

Good luck, High Elves. I'll be playing Empire (Knight of the Blazing Sun!) so I'll try to help out and fend off the sex-crazy goths. 

Well, to be fair, High Elves attract people who want to be tree hugging pansy Legolas wanna-bes.  While Dark Elves do attract horny people  they also attract people whose mind stay on a path such as "omg 3lves wit DARK n DER NAME!!!11 dats KOOL!!11  Der r sooooo 3v1l n k00l lokin!!!!!!!!111".   Thats the primary reason Dark Elves are going to be the most popular.  And most people who have such a mind track usually don't understand that if a side is overwhelmed, they need to join the least popular side.  It should be interesting to see how they balance this.

Oh and by the way, this is completely off-topic, but here is some bad news (for those who want to believe what I say).  For any hardcore DAoC PvPers that are expecting DAoC PvP quality, I have to say that I feel bad for you.  I am one of those people, and when I saw the game I was crushed.  The UI is a complete and utter duplicate of Lotro's (which is a duplicate of WoW), and the fighting is almost an exact replica of WoW.  The gameplay isn't even CLOSE to DAoC...

I understand that last paragraph is completely off topic, but im not going to make a thread about it and explain everything I witnessed.

So what am I missing? What specifically is in DAoC pvp that isn't in this game? Not that I'm replying to an off-topic comment or anything......

And upon seeing the poll results, my main will definitely be Order. I was on the fence before, but underdog victories are always the sweetest.

well i like to keep it basic, and you cant get more basic than that dwarven nation. I am still going to go with what my guild mates decide and our decision will be based on whats the biggest underdog is what we will play. but so far it looks like i am leaning towards a dwarven runepriest with lots and lots of ironbreakers (4) and (2) warrior priest helpers.

down with hybrids!!! burn them I say!

I can't choose yet. It is still a toss up between a Chaos Marauder and a Witch Hunter. Two different playing styles, but they both look like great fun. One has a sick hat and the other a grisly mutant-arm thingy. 

my problem excactly! i think im leaning towards Witch Hunters now though because how cool would it be to sneak up behind a chaos magus or something and shoot him point-blank in the back of the head then impale him with your annointed stake while macroing "The power of christ compells you!!!!!!" then when he dies you pull down the brim on your badass hat then blow the smoke off the tip of your pistol.i dont mind being outnumbered on the order side, makes for better RPing anyway

I keep seeing people reference DAoC pvp as setting the pvp standard for mmorpg's. I've never played it, but even my brother has commented on DAoC pvp...

Well this is what is amazingly ironic.  Despite DAoC being known for having the best PvP in an MMO, NOBODY has tried to copy them.  People said that it set the PvP standard for MMOs, and it did.  However, nobody ever even attempted to beat it PvP wise.  And even more ironic, not even the very creators of DAoC (Mythic) are copying it  with Warhammer Online.  This is pretty much why im pissed. 

il be the underdog.. always have, always will...

I voted Choas even though I'm a lot more of a 'skeptic' then a fan. once it goes open beta I'll see what they are going to do.

Its a tough call between Dark Elves and Chaos :)

I'm most likely gonna go Greenskin, Choppa or Squig Herder, probably both actually.

I went over the classes a bit more and decided on the Empire. Normally I try not to be the human class, since in my opinion they are boring. However the classes for the Empire look like a TON of fun to play.

We have Bright Wizards, Warrior Priest, Witch Hunter and Knight of the Blazing Sun. Personally it is a toss up of Bright Wizard (if you've played a Fire Blaster on CoH they sound like one of those) or Knights of the Blazing Sun (gotta love the feathers).

High Elf, I like being the minority in games. Plus, Swordmaster looks way too cool to not play.
