Where do I download the client?

That link from the trial email is broken :(

I liked DAoC when I played it. Came back a long while after quitting, and found the game dead. Will Origins servers be active, and will people roleplay?

I've heard a few good things about LoTRO's RP community. I'd be interested in joining the RPers. What server is best for roleplay? What are the RP hotspots? Also, I'd like a buddy key if possible.

Thanks for the advice, but I might just go to Chronicles of Spellborn.

If you're on a U.S. account, join us on Kirin Tor. We got a fair amount of RP, and we don't suck at lore correct RP like Moon Guard.

Just stay away from silvermoon inns most of the time, otherwise you'll find werewolves, vampires and probably werewolf daemon vampire succubus lesbians who are daughters of thrall.

I prefer the Brill inn.

Although I'm playing WoW at the moment, I've actually got past the whole 'I hate questing/grinding' thing that made me quit so many MMOs, including warhammer. I've never had the bawls to quest for 14 hours a day to gain two levels, but I've been doing that for the past 3 or 4 days. I've been making use of my winter break.

Not like theres anything better to do in my neighborhood.

Anyway, is the Warhammer RP community still around?

Some people call me an asshole when I have no sympathy for people who die because of their own extreme stupidity.

If I don't know the person, and if its because of extreme stupidity that they die, than I have no reason to cry and whine over it.

Just my 2 coppers.

In all honesty, I'm glad theres a game where 'loot lovers' can go bitch about being unable to 'progress'. With loot-based gameplay, there is no 'progression'. Just getting better loot to get into a better instance/zone to get slightly better loot.

I'm probably moving to TCoS from CoH when TCoS is out. CoH is too 'child friendly' as far as violence goes.

Do any other roleplayers think this will be the game for us?

You know you are announcing a warhammer clan in city of villains forums?

You know I am making the cult IN CoV?

I like the combat system where people don't post  bullcrap posts that don't involve roleplaying.

Hell he is right... there are a LOT of more expensive hobbies than that. I mean paintballing is probably more expensive. I'd rather paintball... but just because this is a video game hobby doesn't really make him that insane.

A lot of people will overreact and turn to stereotypes to claim that he has no life and all the girls will hate him. But for all we know, he could probably be a pretty popular guy, goes out often, gets laid often, or may even be married... Just because he spends money on something doesn't mean that is all he is doing.

I respect the guy actually, he has the balls to show the world that he does something everyone thinks is absurd, but he really might just do it in a hobby fashion.

 

Yeah he has the balls, like homos or pedos coming out of the closet.

 

 

I don't buy the hobby card.  With hobbies like paintballing, sports, cooking, etc.  At least you achieve something.  I fail to see what he achieves here, online gaming is a fantasy.  Every item, every level, is a piece of data stored in a computer.  That's why people say he has no life.  He is obsessed with imaginary objects.  The fact that you "don't see anything wrong with it" probably reflects your own feelings of value for imaginary things in computers and the internet.

 

I don't really see the difference between this guy and his setup, and the obsessed Star Wars geek with 36 outfits and 1000's of action figurines in his basement.  Both are just as sad.

Don't compare homosexuals to pedophiles. Just saying.

Why are people applauding this 36-account no-life ass?

I'm considering RPing a bad guy, but is the RP active on the villains side?

Why is this thread posted here? Isn't this the ROLEPLAYING forum? Shouldn't this be in the GENERAL discussion forum?

I hate to say this, but I -might- possibly go back to WoW.  All MMOs out there either have a small RP community, or no RP community. I might just buy a game with a small RP community and stick with it. The problem with WoW is the grind. I hate grinding in all of it's forms. Have they added any ways to level quickly like CoH has so players can catch up with everybody else?

Also, whats the best server for RP?

I changed my mind. I'll be going Minmatar. I like the punk/headbanger looks you can customize them with.

Whats the news on the expansion that lets you go on stations on foot? Also, when should I start pvping with a corp? Can I join an RP corp thats not entirely into PVP, and contact a PVP oriented corp so I can tag along with them for their guild PVPs?

Edit: After reading the wiki, I found out that different Races' ships are good for different stuff. If I'm going minmatar, I'll start with the minmatar frigates skill. Unfortunately, Minmatar requires more skill than most and I want something easier like Amarr (I like the look of their ships). Is it a good idea to train for Amarr frigates as soon as possible?

Eve online has an RP community, and the RP will soon be even better when we get to walk on stations. The problem is I found it boring to just search asteroid fields for stuff to blow up and salvage once I got the salvaging skill.

Edit: And if I started as an Amarr, could I join the Minmatar republic?

I'd like to experience the game's RP community without these damn trial limits. If I tried the 15 extra days code on a ended trial account, would it be considered a normal account? If so, can I get a key?
