you will run WAR nicely and smoothly with that config no worries m8.

omg people still think its not vaporware ?

actually it became fun to read some new discovery about this shadowy game.

there is still hope ! keep digging guys :p

You should do a google search for warhammer pre-order for your country and find one that you can pay at delivery since you dont have a card.

Also you could check local big retailers that sell games too, you might find the pre-order pack or

try www.direct2drive.com/6327/product/Buy-Warhammer-Online:-Age-of-Reckoning-(Pre-Order)-Download

and check for other paying methods then credit card.. altough i dont know if they sell to europe.

the game havent even started yet relax.

you dont even have a clue how it will turn out.

Its funny with WAR people discover the .torrent!

There are tricks ?! how long will it take?

tip: never ask how long will it take

yeah yeah we went through all this back when WoW started.

evil is cooler etc nightelves are sexy whatever.

there will be always more on one side then the other and it will be different on each server.

all thats important is how the game will keep the balance to not affect the experience of everyone on the smaller side.

dont get worried what side will get more cause you cant do anything about it anyway.

ive got another question- On the topic of tanks in pvp

Say your a tank, you can take ridiculous amounts of damage, how do you "tank" in pvp- where the player decides who to attack? I'd assume you cant "taunt' another player..

This question spawns from the problem in wow, of defensive spec warriors, people just let em run around and do nothing.

Im assuming they do such ridiculous amounts of damage that it is beneficial to kill them first?  /shrug

Edit: spelling

WAR has colision detection.. which means you cant run trough the tanks& other meleers to get to hit the casters/rangers in the back.

So you will have to breach the front line. To do that means you will have to kill some tanks.

Dont know if they can taunt you but I know they wont let you pass slowing you, knocking you back and doing other debuffs on you.

still GOA didnt prove they cant handle WAR properly. its just the closed beta annoucement for the CE NA pre-order that Mythic pulled totally unexpected.

what they promised and whats writenn on the box still can happen. its too early to judge i think.

they still got 4 days to fix the website and plenty of time to make servers ready for open beta.

Taken from EU site

Goa are the games publishing division of France Telecom and have more than 8 years of experience in operating MMO games in Europe. We have been running the European servers of Dark Age of Camelot since 2002 and will be running the European WAR servers as well.

And if you have dealt with these monkeys before you know that they couldn't find their bottoms with both their hands.

I wonder how big a mess they would have to make beofre EA has to come in and take over....

Personally I am now considering stopping my EU order and getting a NA one on direct2drive.

 

Not worth trading a few days of closed beta for the extra +100 ms of latency m8.

Bah saw good news.. jumped in... dont see any  what am I missing?

I keep seeing alot of people mentioning DAOCs economy.. hope WAR is more complex in every field even economy, cause we are in 2008 afteral and the standards need to be ALOT higher to compete in todays market.

I havent played DAOC but back in the day there were how many MMORPGs? 3? so not much competition and probably DAOC made its player base of mostly PVPers. how many players DAOC had? 700k at most..?

My expectations of WAR are alot higher (hoping 1.5mil+), numbers not doable with just PVP and abit of PVE.

Economy has to be there and has to be decent at least or the game wont be able to get big numbers and keep them over time.

People like to compete for more then ranks and titles, being rich is attractive and gives a player more to do.

The smell of LOOT, gold, rare shiny weapons/armors leading to being RICHER then the next brings more competition and fun.

The game has DWARVES for christ sake. Greed should be all over.

Orcs roaming around looking for something SHINY!

WAR has even the lore for it. !

There is nothing better then a complex non-ending war mixed with a complex economy.

Economy isn't that important in WAR (Atleast not as much as in other games). They want you out bashing heads in, not spamming trade with "WTS [Insert Item Here]"

Economy should be important in any kind of war not only WAR :)

Bashing heads gets boring fast while a war supported by economy makes all much more exciting. (check EVE).

Traders, gatherers and crafters love to get more rare or better quality stuff from more dangerous zones.. leading to soldiers getting better gear to have the edge over the enemy.

If the game wants a wider range of players.. it should handle the economy part as good as possible.

and spamming trade happens in any kind of game that has any kind of tradeable items altough the chat spamming can be handled easily with some chat restrictions and auction houses.

economy can make or brake a game.

i dont know how they plan to keep the economy alive with only few professions like potion making or food stuff though.

quest rewards even if they are tradreable wont worth selling/buying cause anyone can get them.

so basicly as i see it, all the economy will be based on pve drops?

that means there should be many kinds and with a low drop rate so people can trade them directly or in auction houses.

cant wait for beta to find out.

personaly for me it will be the deciding factor if ill buy the game or not... and im sure for many others economy is very important.

Don't know about open beta, but there is a preview weekend coming up for all CE pre order customers. Check the Herald.

no there isnt for all CE pre-order customers. might be only for NA customers.

a very nice mouse pad in WAR style! yumm cant wait.

OP I'm sure you wont be dissapointed by WARs quality like you were with AOC.

AOC had tons of beta testers on so many forums trying to warn the people that the game is in a really bad shape.

WAR doesnt have anything remotely like that.

Its not hard to make an opinion... also NDA will be dropped very soon so it will be easier.

tanks will of course have the lowest damage compared to dps classes and hybrids but they can take the most damage also. its all normal here and logical for the sake of balance.

if anyone hopes to roll a heavy armor class and outdps the rest.. hopes too much.

theres videos with mounts on youtube. just do a search,

I dont think its slow. From all the movies I've seen it seems pretty normal.

It might look abit slow cause fights take longer compared to WoW for example.

You cant 2-3 hit people down here unless the level difference is huge or something.

I dont think they have anything to hide or any problems with the game at all but I think this isnt the best move to make with WAR coming out soon and the next WoW expansion in the near future.

Aion isnt well known, it has huge potential but the advertising seem to lack. At least 1 or 2 weeks open beta period is needed to get more hype and publicity in EU and NA.

Word spreads out fast if more people can get to try the game and start talking/posting positive things about it.

Being open out there shows more confidence also.

We read alot about Korean beta and watch videos and stuff but let people try the game or the competition wont even get scratched.
