In fact eventually you'll think, 'hold on this is just essentially a massive tech demo for their map' thats actually what the game feels like, the mechanics for the rest of it are so unbalanced and gimped and easy to exlpoit its not even funny.

Then why have I been in the beta for 2 months and still have a blast?  Maybe that's just your opinion?  And people maybe shouldn't just "trust you" on whether or not they will like it?

Not a quality review of this game at all. 

Think you mean two months ago...

You'll get a warning for it...

TCoS has the most incredible combat system of any MMO.  The 100% skill based combat, mixed with the sigil system in the skills for ability customization, the opener/closer combo system, and the PeP enhancements make fighting in this game a blast.  The combat alone makes it worth playing, before mentioning the PvP/PvE system.

It's too late today for any of this businness to take place, guess I'll check back tomorrow.

I like the style of this post, and oh yea, the points are good too.  Which brings me to...

....nice post by OP.

It's hard to make demands in a situation where you've won something, but you almost want atleast an explanation of why it's taking so long to send a list of names to someone who has already said they would send out the keys as soon as they've received the list.  But like I said, winners of this contest really can't make demands unfortunately, but alot of people are highly anticipating this and the "not knowing when" makes it worse.

Getting impatient again lol.  Wonder what mmorpg.com is doing with the completed list of winners...dancing around laughing at how pathetic we are?  Maybe trying to make us break our mouses by left clicking the refresh button...maybe...it's a conspiracy to keep us waiting 'til release in agonizing anticipation!

I would like to mention how commendable and refreshing it is for a PR representitive to take the initiative to update the community on a forum outside of their own, especially on a topic that has people dying with anticipation.  It's pretty reassuring.

Yes, TCoS beta did start years ago, since when do you need a publisher to start testing?

Still a few more slow pokes have to confirm before anyone gets their keys.

Computer science degree is your best bet.  Not an easy degree however.

Is there player looting in PvP?  Is there any benefit to being a PKer in the game?

That one is pretty good, but doesn't show half of what this one does.

Just have to say that Darkfall trailer is the best gameplay trailer I've seen in any game, any genre, and I am by no means a fanboy.  20 minutes of pure action packed footage and it looked incredible.  Flame away if you want, but I challenge anyone to show me a better one.

I really like the "no additional fee will be required to play in our Head Start" part.  He never actually added on something to the effect of, "unlike Age of Conan," but you can hear it just the same.  ;)

There was no fee to play AoC early, the 5$  fee covered the free 10 days you got to play before you had to have a box code.

All we know is that CE customers will have at least one day of additional head start. We don't know when the head start begins though.

 

It'll begin on the 15th of September for me and I pre-ordered a normal edition.

 

link ? How do you know it's 15th of September if they did not announce it yet?

READ again... I said "I'll Begin on the 15th" I dont know about you or CE's, I just know that on the 15th I'll be playing WAR.
 

Unless this is true "Using Thursday, September 18 2008 as the official release, my guess is that CE pre-order customers will gain entry into the Head Start program on Monday, September 15 and SE pre-order customers will be let in on Tuesday, September 16. Given that CE customers are only being given ONE extra day, I can’t foresee the Head Start period being more than three days total."  Then you'll be playing on the 16th.

-P.S.  He's the guy who interviewd Mark Jacobs on the issue.

Here it is - http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1227767. 

-  " Regarding the pre-order, Collector’s Edition and the Standard Edition, we are extending the Head Start for the pre-order CE (not the SE) buyers by at least an additional day as an added thank you for buying our CE. Just as with the PW, no additional fee will be required to play in our Head Start."

Live game headstart.  People with the CE will get a headstart on official servers before the rest of the population.  Being a CE pre-orderer myself, I look forward to being beyond the lvl 10 areas before the rest of you minons get there

All that link shows is that you get a head start for preordering, it doesn't say you get a headstart above the SE preorder headstarts.
