GW is a fluke rather than a flaw...and it's not quite the same as the other MMO's it's compared to so bringing it up as a reason why monthly subs are "wrong" is not appropriate.

Okay, both sides need to put down the weapons and stop beating on each other...

PvE and PvP really don't mix and that's why we have the animosity...no one is better than the other, get over it.

Now on the subject, Imperator was not being worked on by this team, so asking them to pick it up is pointless. Imperator was put on hold because as they got to some critical milestones they realized the game was not fun. Not that PvE wasn't fun, the game was not fleshed out enough in it's background to make good gameplay. It MAY come back and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have a very small team kicking it around behind closed doors (you wouldn't believe how may games are being worked on like that).

Let WAR be WAR and succeed or fail on it's own. PvP is a "niche" audience and letting them have 2 titles (EvE being the other) won't kill anyone. And WAR still isn't their perfect goal, it's not FFA PvP...they can't be tier 4 and go beat on tier 1 characters..so their gank squads have no utility.

Poseidon is a Greek god, who is known in Roman mythology as Neptune.  I think the following two are more Rogue-ish.

 

Portunes- god of keys, doors, and livestock

Proserpina - Queen of the Dead and a grain-goddess

 

Still, I wouldn't keep your hopes up for a Rogue class.

There's actually a pretty recent thread regarding the whole rogue thing on their forums if your energetic enough to go over there and read it...

http://community.godsandheroes.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=5935&tstart=30

some people are actually prompting for the rogue to be more of a sailor/swasbuckling pirate-type rather than a thief-ish type, which would then allow Neptune to be used as a God option.

I almost feel sorry about bursting the bubble here..but I have a pin and it is my responsibility to use it.

Get over it.

What you (and many other "hardcore" gamers) call "selling out" is simply healthy economic forces at work. When MMO's started they were created by and catered to people who, bluntly, were obsessive-compulsive, anti-social, (hate to use this word) geeks. As they people grew up and tried to draw other people into their obsession, the people drawn in said "why does it work like that when doing it like this could would be so much easier?" Or "Why must it always be about beating the tar out of each other? Can't we go out on an adventure together and have fun?". These people, feeling disenfranchised by these "l33t" players, went off and created their own games and found out that MANY more people would be turned on by a game that was accessible and fun rather than one designed to punish you for playing (which is the feeling many of the older games gave off). This then was refined until we now have the mass-media called MMO's today.  Old-school style MMO's are now "niche" product and all the whining in the world won't change it.

fortunately,  this one may be the ding ding of the winner.

judging from the screenshots, it looks like that it may still be in development or in the progress but worth keepin' an eye on this one.

4 days? thats false information, and its impossible. POTCO is far from being released, unless the had a HUGE and i mean HUGE bug patch very soon, it will not be coming out anytime soon. The game is filled with bags and is still nearly unplayable because of some annoying glitches for example there is a storyline glitch which, sometimes during a storyline tit will glitch and you will not get the next quest. So, sorry to let your hopes down but, POTCO WILL NOT release anytime soon. I would assume in 2-4 months.

I hope I get into the beta. I have been waiting for this game since the other company announced they were developing it like 7 years ago. It's too bad they ran outa money because I really like where they were going with the magic system and how dark the game was going to be over all. I just hope mythinc doesnt care bear the game too much. Because this isn't a nice game in a nice world where your super fairy is going to come bouncing along and grant you your wishes. This game should kick you in the nuts and run off laughing maniacally as you lay there gasping.

coz actully its not right with us europeans, we can't win stuff such as PC's only US ppl can win, non of european have win, only coz those who give away, dont want to pay money for mail >.<

Actually, I hope none of you Euros win it because your added lag on top of any current server problems will make you horribly poor testers, and since a large majority of the userbase is North American, odds are there will be more of them win than anyone else.

BTW, if you check all the contests on here you will notice that people outside the US do win, just not you..so get over it

There are separate US and EU test servers setup.... no need to hate on your fellow gamer.

I do not think it matters when you signed up for the news letter, just that you signed up.  Things like this give more credit to the term WoW Killer that keeps being thrown around with this game.

As much as I wish I were testing, that was a wise decision. Dedicated folks to get the big bugs pounded out.

not to be mean, but WOOT...I signed up for the newsletter like the 1st or 2nd day they started having them :P...I was skimming for Imperator when the information for WAR came up...

Lucky *Does the happy dance*

Witch-Hunter here, not quite sure about any of the other classes yet..I
