I'll take that as one more sign that Open Beta is just around the corner.

There is no PvP on the game. I think there's a trial period/first month free when you subscribe at Play Sega, also the Xbox 360 version has a demo download in the market place, but you need a Gold account in order to play it.

You create a Beta Center account the moment you sign in for a chance to get into beta.

If you already have a Beta Center account, just enter your open beta code in "Promotional Codes" space .

They never promised different server types aside from RP, they where only being discussed, looks that they finally decided against them.

You can read the interview at the Warhammer Alliance site

How does this sound?

"Boiled down to the essentials, it is a tradeskill and “collections” game. Do something often enough and your skill goes up. Then collect enough of these materials to make neat stuff. Like a better weapon or better looking weapon or a styling Red jacket, Blue suede shoes and the like. You also collect pets, grow vegetables on a farm, improve your farm, build a house, decorate your house – and it can be addictively compelling."

This is a line form the Beta preview of Hello Kitty Online published on this site. From the sound of it, it fits all your requirements, as you never said anything about subject mater.

So let me get this straight not only are they cutting the release so it only features 2 playable cities (races also?)  BUT  the 2 races you CAN play have missing classes?

They are only withholding 4 cities and 4 classes, all other classes, races, and locations are still set to be included at release.

These dates I got from my Amazon preorder, as seen in my media downloads folder:

Codes do have a limited time to be applied, from what I remember, the open beta code has to be entered before october 30th, not usre on that one, and both the head start and bonus item codes have to be entered before december 31st.

To enter the head start and bonus items codes you have to have a paid subscription to the game.

If I got any of the dates wrong, feel free to correct me.

I came for the IP and stayed for the RVR. When I first started following this game I had no idea of what RVR was, the more I read about the game, the more hooked I got.

I would like to hope for Chaos Dwarfs, maybe if they where added to this game GW would get into finally updating them and give us a proper army book. Plus they would make a grezat counter weight to the Ogre Kingdoms. But alas is not likely to ever be.

Apparently, from the wording in the article,  EA Russia is going to be in charge of the servers for their region, so it may actually be a better option for eastern Europe. I don't really know much about what kind of communication problems they might run into in that region, so take my comments with a tub load of salt

Another piece of news thats seems to be flying under people's radar is the dedicated Russian Server Announcement, from the wording used it seems Russian players won't have to deal with GOA to get their WAR kicks.

I can't seem to get excited about the 40K MMO, as we all know that Space Marines will outnumber every other race by more than a wide margin. In this is a case I would have preferred if they had gone with the style of the PnP game and its announced expansions.

Gonna have to go with the high elves as there are no wood elves :(  Always an elf here :) other than AoC where my aquolonian is the wierdest looking char i have seen yet due to my elvish love :)

 

I've seen screenies of Dryads and what looked to be Waywatchers.  Wood Elves might be a neutral faction.

I have a feeling those are from a PQ, when they started laying how they would go, the example given, was an orc logging camp, where aside from whacking the trees, you would countinualy be annoyed by them freaking tree-huggers, starting with dryads, and working your way up to a full fledged gigantic treeman.

Yes, that's what it looks like, get a shield and gimp you abilites, that will surely help the group . Reminds me of my time tanking in Shadowbane, most everyone went with a defensive tank with maxed Con/HP, they where just really gim´py at doing anything else, where as a friend of mine, my brother and me, specialized in offensive tanks, with maxed strength, by the time gimpy Con based tanks got us to around 1/4 HP of damage, our superior combat ability had already whittled them to death.

I'll rather have a guy that can pull his weight around, than a guy whose whole claim to fame, is that he dies after everyone else, while at the same time failing to kill any of the other guys.

While looking trough Wired.com I stumbled upon this article. I must say, Wow! thems a lot  of tech for simple trees.
