I tried most of the classes this past weekend. However, Goblin Shaman stuck with me the best! I had a complete blast. This is what I will start with when headstart rolls around.

Not skill based? I'm sorry but wow is the farthest thing from skill based pvp. WAR introduces new dynamics and strategies to RVR aka PVP.  WAR is great and after this weekend I can't wait to roll my shaman and krunch every last one of them do gooooders!

I highly anticipate these clowns to bumble around and fight each other by accident. They are hardly a force to be feared! I have the inside on that! On the battle field, they will succumb to a death so dishonorable that their guild crest will be tainted forever! WAR IS COMING - GET READY TO RUN DESTRUCTION!

I, like many others would love to try out the beta.

Topic says it all! If anyone knows a RP CORE destruction guild - please advise!

I have been downloading at a steady 1.69 mb/ sec  - no problems here. 43 minutes left and I am done!

I just got this from gamestop a few minutes ago:

One thing I can say is this:


I never believed the LotR hype, and I never flamed the game in the forum on this web page with 603k subscribers (3/4ths are alts).


I never believed in the negative Vanguard hype with all the people flaming the game.


I have tried both.

MMORPG positive hype on LotR:  WRONG.


MMORPG negative hype on Vanguard:  WRONG. 

I play Vanguard and love it.  Do not trust this web page.  The amount of bad information is truly remarkable. lol.

I wish i could laugh in the face of each of the tools who paid 200 for a lifetime sub , talk about knowing who to target for stuff u want to sell, the gullable and people who dont know how to manage money.

LOTRO is a good MMORPG. It's a great kick back MMO to balance out the heavy raiding in EQ2 end game. I spent $200 for a life time sub, so what. A tool? The fact that uber kiddies like yourself are  distancing yourself - makes this game even more worth it. It's not my main MMO but I'll be playing it over months to come. I wish more MMO's would give lifetime sub options.

The irony here is that diarheasauce here can't even spell idiot correct when using it as an insult to others. Pot calling the kettle black? I think so. I'm sure that his sparkling personality, as seen in this post... is the reason he no longer enjoys LOTRO - people 86'd him server wide. I'd bet an elven whore on that!

Vista is an absolute piece of crap and resource hog. Hell, a side by side comparison running XP on the same system as vista with 2 gigs of RAM and XP is still faster. Gating that up to 4 gigs of RAM, XP is still faster and not as damn buggy. My wife works for the government and her IT guys won't even touch Vista as it is a security nightmare. I beleive that Microsoft would rather kill the PC gaming market and get everyone on board for the 360 console. They have far more invested into it and the release of dx10 exclusively for Vista is aboslute nonsense as well. Hell, many top game developers are outraged at the audicty of Micronuts. As a long time hardcore gamer with top of the line systems, this is the death of PC gaming to me. I bought the piece of crap Vista and had to wipe and reformat my hard drive jsut to go back to XP and it was a pain in the ass. Not to mention my 5 grand system built a year and half ago is now mid grade hardware. I am done feeding this conglomorate machine and throwing my cash away on bogus investments. It is not a matter of me affording it but a matter of principle.

 

IF you can't afford to be a PC gamer, invest in a console. Video cards have a life expectancy of 15 months. PC Gaming is an enthusiast sport, it's not a cheap hobby. However, spending 5 grand on a rig - are you insane or just a sucker?! I upgrade my MB/CPU and video card every 12-15 months... and I ALWAYS have a high end rig. I do this easily between 1500-2000. Build your own rig or stfu about how much you spent and how scammed you feel that your hardware outdated in 18 months.

For Vista to be a good experience, it is important to build your rig with vista compliant hardware. Doing this, the ride is smooth and the benchmarks are = to that of XP. If your MB is not certified for Vista - good luck! Enjoy your Direct X 9  - while I embrace the amazing visuals of Direct X 10.

Love,

Fat Gamer

I have multiple toons past level 40 in WoW. I hate the game, I hate the majority of the community to boot. I played it due to peer pressure from real life friends. When they quit, I quit. I thank god everyday for giving the wisdom to quit :P

    Vista sucks up a lot more power and ram than XP.  So any game you play on Vista will not perform as well.  Vista draws more power from the graphics card and can take up some serious ram.  This is why I think people are starting to think about wanting 3 or 4 gig of ram in the computer and a nice card.

2 GB's for XP and 4 GB's for Vista 32 bit, that's all the RAM needed. Yes, Vista relies on GPU. However THIS IS A GOOD THING! Instead of having your OS graphics powered by your CPU, resulting in much needed CPU power being tied down to the OS instead of the gaming, you can let your video card handle ALL graphics and let the CPU do it's job properly! A single 8800 GTX can keep a vista OS happy as well as any game you can throw at it! Published benchmarks are already starting to show this...

Do they really expect from people like me to pay for a game without even trying a Beta, demo or Trial? They crazy...

The game was in open beta till recently. I'm going to give this one a chance. It's a low investment $15 dollars + 5 per month? That's just a round of Guinness at Fat Gamer's local bar!
