Tell that to my PC, he clearly did not got the note.

Had been in an line for the scenario for about 8 hours two days ago in tier two and did not got in it. Distruction had enough peeps, but it was only my friend, me and some other Dwarf in the area. We did actualy managedto hold off one enemy attack on a keep. Actualy killed 3 poeple in the process....died about 7 times though, good fun.

If you do not want to lose your "hard worked" equipment, well then do not die. Beside that if you play the game you suppose to play it then you should get as much loot from PvP as you would lose from PvP. Also why do you think you lose hard worked loot? How come you think you have to work hard for it? Work and games are two terms with should not be used together, if you feel like you are working for you equipment then you really need to pick an other game.

ive not played an mmo other than ever for a while, do people bitch this much normally?

 

Yes, and worse. I stay away from forums mostly because of it

Yet you have 2000+ post in 3 years :P

I figured as much at the 1 minute and 34 seconds remark, but then again.....there are most likely poeple out there who would whine about that :P

Dumb question perhaps.

 

I have a sneaking suspicion, Gamestop gave me a SE headstart code instead of a CE headstart code.

 

Does a CE head start indicate itself as such on your Account Management page?

 

TIA

EU CE keys start with PCEIR1 or PCEIE1. Not sure about the US ones.

Nice of them to take the time and write 2 lines of text to explain Anything, oh wait no that was what I would do....

MAybe they did, we can just not read it on the website!

You migth want to get into PHP and databases (MySQL for exemple), becouse with just HTML your not gonna make it and no dev will have any use for you. I suggest you will look for a good book in you native language about PHP and one about databases and study that if you really interested. Not sure if someone can suggest a book for you.

How can a game focues on PvP be compared with a game with is focused on PvE? It's like comparing an sweet and sour apple. Both are appels, but still do not taste the same.

Well a lot of reviews are based on a part of the game either the beginning of the game or a part the devs let the reviewer play on special events (This is especialy the case with pre-views). If you really want to write a good review about any game you should have played it from the beginning to the end, but most magazines and website have released there review on the day the game is released. (Treu that they might have recieve the game prior to official release),

Not sure exactly what all this means but My comp is Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz, I have 2GB of RAM and my video card is Radeon x600 256MB HyperMemory.  Running on high graphics isn't really important to me I would just like to know if my comp will run the game smoothly. Thank you.

good website if you do not know a lot about computers and requerements. It find you computer information itself and checks it with what you need for the game. WAR is in the list to.

 I think we can all agree that we want to keep the atmosphere as mature as possible, and frankly if you don't own a credit card then you've probably not reached a responsible age ye

I agree, would be nice to keep the atmosphere mature. So.....what MMO are you gonna play when the rest of us is playing WAR?

Well even if they did not ask, you IP would reveal you information anyway. Beside that you are on there server. So I do believe they have the right to ask who is on there servers.

Sadly, the more it costs to "compete", the more likely well see more Orcs and Elves in the future.

Orc and elves are really not the problem, but the gameplay of the game who have orcs and elves. Why would the textures of an NPC  and PC really matter much, how would changing textures change games? Would WoW be differant if all the charaters looked like alliens?

You would think EA would release the beta codes first considering it is their beta..i find that odd.

No it is GOA's beta as they are the publisher (Never understood why EA hires a third party publisher.). It is EA's game (Well from one of the Branches Mythic Entertainment). However I do not think it would really matter whatever they release them tommorow or today. You can not input it anywhere anyway.

However D2D.co.uk has already released the keys only hours after the statement made by GOA.

i like to take time to to know and master my class. not get to 40 in a week or two and not know how the hell to use my charecter.

 

How would getting to know your class improve by getting an skill one week at a time? This would only make it harder to master you class. Mastering a class can only be done with the full skill set and it looks to me it will take a while to really master one class to an point you are extreamly effective. Then again you say it yourself. In two weeks you not know how the hell to use your charater, is that not the point to learn then in the proces of "Knowing and mastering" your class? Why would it matter how many skills you have while being in this process?

If the community that makes up this niche is so respectful and intellegent, why do they insult the gaming community by trying to lump everyone who doesn't like this kind of game together? Better yet why do they use terms like " idiots " and " kiddies " to describe the vast majority of these players?

Rofl for the same reason u use the word They. You do not call the community idiots or kiddies, but you do seems to hold the whole community accountable for the actions of a few. Would that not put you in the same position as the few who are calling the others Idiots and kiddies? 

Bruticus_XI, first of all. Poeple spend a lot of time even in a game like WoW. Hours after hours. Second, the whole community does not think they are elitist. Third, what is fun? I have had most of my fun in an MMO, gaurding a door with you where almost certain that would not be attacked.

EDIT: I can even remeber myself a situation in WWII online where I defended a bunker for 2 hours without meeting someone only to be killed by the first german to enter it. I have had fun there. In both cases I talked to poeple on ventrillo and go to know them better. I prefer to play a crappy game with a good community then an awsome game with a crappy community.

Sandbox MMO games normally require a lot more cooperation between the players. Take Darkfall for one. This game might revolve heavy around politics. This does mean multiply guilds can work together. Also the game will have less members this does mean that someone of the opposite guild/city will most likely know people from the other side and I have experience that these encounter often go with respect.

A game like WAR will also have a good community, however one would know and speak a lot with the people he will PvP with, but not with the enemies. There are simply to many of them, also WAR has no politics. This means that one side does not have to talk with the other side to resolve issues. I have Played a game called Face of Mankind and hold high position within the faction I was part of. This game however had a set amount of faction, but no set enemies.

In fact it could be that one day you ally would suddenly be you enemy and you enemy you ally. My position involved solving problems with other factions (Meaning, twisting the truth to suit my faction AKA politics :P). Duo to all this, you did actually know a big part of the community (It was REALLY small, smaller then what DF is gonna be) and in fact one time or the other you had fought with them and against them, planned attack with them on ventrillo, etc.

It is not that a sandbox makes the good community, but the fact that people will have to communicate with each other to resolve issues. Even with groups considered criminals (Hiring them to attack your enemy for example). This means that being an ass would isolate you from everything and everyone making you an easy target, this would also mean you lack the allies to survive, with in most cases would resolve into them leaving. However many people would agree that without evil, good would not excist. Making a game pretty boring if everyone was just nice to each other :P

This often means people tend to not keep a grunge against each other to long. So sandbox = better community. Not per se, but communicating does. So the game with forces to communicate with a lot of people would forge a better community (Sandbox or not).

We are going to build kingdoms with or friends and ruin our enemies Not zerg style but really take their resorces and destry their towns. :)

Well I am looking forward to this game. However the game will have a small amount of players (compared to mainstream games) and I am really afraid of poeple logging in in the middle of the night to distroy a town of poeple they know will most likely be offline. I wonder how this will be handled and solved.
