This question is for anyone out there who has done it or knows how to.

How/where did you order your copy of the EU version of WAR from?
Direct2Drive isn't accepting a US card and no paypal either.
EA's Store isn't giving me an option for the EU version.

Someone please give me a link to where an American can buy a digital copy of the EU version of WAR.

or, if i pre-order a boxed copy tonight, is there any place that will give me a head start code and allow me to play till my copy is delivered?

I'm pretty sure Flying Labs is in control of what is going on in the game.

SOE is just marketing the product for Flying Labs. Atleast that is what I have understood.

they have control... for now.

You guys are trying to express what a MMORPG should be to be healthy and attract players.

The game has already been made.

FFXI has everything you could want and more.......except........there is a massive horde of RMT that have ruined the game.

If Square Enix took care of the RMT problem once and for all and opened new servers I would resub in a heartbeat and not look back for at least 4 years.

It was that good pre expansion. Immense variety in character classes and skills, Exciting gameplay. And pretty good PVP. (Nothing screams "Kill it now" like a rampaging Galka monk)

Progression was very slow but there was so much you needed to do it really didn't matter.

It has an awsome macro interface that allows you to set up easy combos that makes the grinding much easier. And you don't solo grind, you grind with 5 ppl.

The game progression is slow enough to discourage griefing or idiotic behavior...because one who is known as an idiot is known by all and will soon find themselves frustrated and having to reroll again.

And lastly.....you HAVE to group up in order to accomplish anything, which is what a MMO is all about, Making friends and relying on others.

I'm not saying I dont like FFXI (I certainly like it better than WoW).

Seems like people want every new MMO to reinvent the wheel. I'm sorry, but I'm tired of it.

Sure there can be action MMOs and MMOFPSs and all these other great games, but I fell in love with MMOs because of EQ and its gameplay. And when I've had enough of one MMO I look for the same thing with slight improvements.

When I'm in the mood for an MMORPG I want an EQ-style MMO. And I don't think developers should stop making games because "there is already a game like it". We wouldn't have tons of great platformers if everyone looked at Mario Bros. (the earliest mega-popular platformer) and refused to make a game like it.

If you haven't played Guild Wars yet then go ahead and try it. It's got great PvP and the storyline to all the games and expansions are amazing. I've just beat them all and have all my characters maxed out so now I am kinda bored. I'm not a huge PvPer now that my guild fell apart. Guild Wars is absolutely amazing for a F2P game.

I'm looking for an MMO to hold me over until Age of Conan comes out.

Which is better Rappelz or RF Online?

It's really funny how you hate TR SOOO much that you will make stupid comments like that to get in any dig you can on the game.   A large number of instances hasn't hurt CoH/CoV or WOW, clearly you are just grasping at any straw.  WE get it, you don't like TR.  Your last 100 posts make that very clear.  If you are going to continue trolling the TR boards after your first 100 posts made it clear you don't like it, you might want to seek professional help...because well, it's not normal to be so.... well.... ..yeah.

ok, maybe he's been trolling, but that post specifically is not a troll post. I myself prefer less instances in an MMO.

 

It was a troll post.  Wanting fewer instances is certainly a personal opion, but stating that "it defeats the whole puspose of MMORPGs"...very clearly troll/flame talk.

I know a lot of people with the same opinion. People who absolutely hate instancing. I think the entire point of this thread was for him to state his opinion on why he doesn't like Tabula Rasa. And I think this is a really valid point for not liking a certain MMO.

you sound like every MMO power-player.

What can raid and solo the best?

Is that really what you are asking?

ugh. sorry for being a troll but I couldn't help but comment on this.

Is any of this true or is it all speculation?

EA Mythic is releasing WAR... and EA is now bringing games to the mac. It's a possibility that WAR will be coming to Mac as well.

"Ever since the Intel switch and the advent of Boot Camp, Mac gaming fans have been wondering if game developers would abandon the idea of native OS X games.  Well, if the latest WWDC is anything to go on, that won't be happening quite yet.  Electronic Arts' Bing Gordon announced that his company would be bringing four of their biggest titles to OS X: Command and Conquer 3, Battlefield: 2142, Need for Speed: Carbon, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Get your wand hands ready!

ID software also demonstrated their latest graphics engine (still in development) running on OS X."

OMG BF2142 comming to Mac? If I end up getting a mac that would be awesome. I'd definitely purchase it again.

Adobe products run on PCs too now.  This isn't the 80s...  The only difference for design would be the difference in fonts.  I'm a Graphic Design major and use a PC, it works fine, all you need to do is create outlines on your fonts when you go to print.

Yeah I realize that. I actually already have almost every adobe product on my computer now. However, my advisor was concerned about compatability issues. I had some issues back in high school with PC to Mac compatability. So I'm still not sold on getting a Mac. The hardest decision is whether or not to go for a desktop or laptop. I can get a kickass PC desktop for the price of a so-so PC or Mac notebook.

Thanks for your opinion though. Its good to hear from people using a PC for Graphic Design.

Here is a question: Say I needed to put a file on my pen drive and take it to one of the labs to print it out. If I had to print it out from a Mac, how often do you experience compatability issues (besides fonts)?

Why do you HAVE to get a MAC for school?  You shouldn't HAVE to get anything.  Choose a PC if you want games.  :)
