Good idea. By the way, this is purely the result of the server queue.

The server queue will clear up over some time. Just be patient.

Created following Destruction folks for people to add to friends on Volkmar ...

Crumble (Chosen) - Main/soloing toon (people had already taken Tirade and Spyte which were my first choices ... grr)
Skry (Zealot) - Alt/group toon
Shyn (Witch Elf) - For when I feel the need to follow a thong around
Icaria (Magus) - Historic ... had to keep the name around since I've used it since EQ1

And wifey is queued up as ...

Zaharen (Disciple)

Maybe I'm an idiot but I'm not seeing an "Ironfist" as a possible choice for the Order server - maybe it's just not up currently ?

And geez, that's a looong queue to get into Volkmar, oh how I miss the early days of WoW, lol - oh well, I'll watch my Bengals get crushed while I wait.

Cheers!

Someone mentioned that Ironfist won't be open until Tuesday. From the other posts it looks like people are moving onto Iron Rock for Order.

My Destruction characters on Volkmar are:
Fervor, Rastus and two others who I can't remember right now.

My Iron Rock char (and I just remembered the Iron part, so I picked it thinking it was Ironfist) is Vector.

Be careful of using alt-tab when running full screen mode, I just did and I ended up with a black screen. Looks like I'll be making that Order character on Iron Rock sooner than expected

Created on Volkmar:

Nephlokan (Shaman)

Created on Iron Rock:

Nephespada (Witch Hunter)

For those of us still waiting i found a copy of the Mark of Chaos cinematic that has a cool Empire/Chaos fight.

such a good video, i remember that. dayum!

Created on Volkmar

Tyrius - Shaman

Hah, just read that the US RockPaperShotgun.com destruction guild is going to be on Volkmar as well. Nice!

Game had a rocky start, but i loved it. I'd spend hours just building armies.

Here's the CP Warhammer forums. I recommend checking out the others as well, but this may help with communication between the 2 sites when the game kicks into full swing.

Yep - found that in beta - if you're expecting to alt-tab a lot, switch to windowed beforehand; otherwise all sorts of black screens, messed up keyboard input etc can result.

Ran, you want to update the first post with a compilation of our toon names/servers?

Wes, I was unable to add Fervor and Rastus on Volkmar as friends. Is it because you haven't logged on as those characters yet?

Noticed the same, was able to add Swat's shaman no problem, but neither of Wes' or Tyrius would take.

Yeah, I never got in... I just made characters while I queued and stewed..

I looked up that cinematic at work the other day when I really wanted to be home playing WAR. It certainly makes you fired up to play a Warrior Priest or Shadow Warrior.

Oh what am I going to do for the next 2 days... sigh!

For AoC he used his white horse

I was hoping people would just post on the Catch All with that information. I know i changed my mind since that list has been posted and figured i wouldn't be the only one. I'll post everything this coming weekend. The official start will have been over for a couple days and we should have most the starters at that point.

I've never bought a collector's edition of any game (well except Vanguard, which I bought in July of this year for $9), but darn if I don't wish I had for this game. WAR wasn't even on my radar until a couple weeks ago; I just assumed it would be a lackluster WoW-clone in the same way I found DAoC to be a lackluster EQ-clone with imbalanced RvR tacked on. I am very impressed with what Mythic accomplished, and I generally don't even like pvp in most games. Somehow they've managed to make WAR's RvR feel more casual and more meaningful at the same time, at least to me. I am jonesing wanting to play the Witch Hunter I made to close out open beta... Can't wait for Tuesday.

Volkmar Destruction:

Proteus - Marauder
Panzer - Chosen
Edstompa - Black Orc

Iron Rock Order:
Stavros - Dwarf Engineer
Perigrine - Shadow Warrior
Javert - Witch Hunter

Created Jacko (Zealot) on Volkmar, Maxwell (War Priest) on Iron Rock.

edit: Morgane on Volkmar, Invid on Volkmar.

Will be on the GWJ Vent however, so look for me there in case I'm burning off steam playing an alt.

ps.
We really do need to prune some of these threads however. Ranalin, what do we usually do - tell Certis which WAR threads to dispose of? Or does he just sweep in on a white horse and cut them down unmercifully?

I've updated my post above with character names, don't want to have to keep reposting stuff.

We need to have a WARP guild vent discussion - some WARP folks suggested using their Vent for the Destruction guild, our Vent for the Order guild, is that what we need to do?

Also, people need to log on Vent if they're on, even if they don't use a mike / headset. Or at least respond to tells from me. Sorry to be pissy but seriously... why post a character name if you aren't looking to get together?

Hey guys, I'm currently brewing over classes, it is down to: BO, Chosen and Witch Elf. Anyone know what time the game opens up to SE pre-orders tomorrow?

Oh and here is an interview with Paul Barnett, WAR's lead designer with a few interesting things snipped:

http://war.buffed.de/guides/3481/loc...buffed.de: Will there be other playable races (bretons, skaven, wood elves, undead) in the future? (question from Malinkaja)

Paul Barnett: Yes. We can’t tell you which one. It’s a secret, but, yes.

..

buffed.de: We heard there will be server wide events – can you tell us something about it? We can’t really imagine the Inevitable City dressed up in chistmas lights or something… what would be one of those events? (question by guild Lords of Destruction)

Paul Barnett: Serverwide events don’t neccessarily mean things like holidays. Serverwide events could be things like like a plague that grips the entire world, so if you are not careful you can all catch the plague.

..

buffed.de: Are there plans for enabling the players to queue for all scenarios of their current tier at once? (question from Ascían)

Paul Barnett: If neccessary. We‘ll know that once the servers go online. We have prepared to change the queueing system to allow the most people have the most fun most often.

So double up when grouping with other players and maybe, in the near future, we can join all the scenarios at once.

Not sure on the time frame for SE, but the CE Headstart started opening servers around 12:00 PM EDT. Shouldn't be any later than that for SE since the servers are already up and running.

I had to pry myself from the screen to stop playing last night, it was too much fun. I couldn't really get into the beta characters because I knew in the back of my mind it was all going to be wiped, but this was a different story.

Got my lil' Gobby Shammy to 7.5 last night before I called it. Read every single line of text in the quests, every single Tome entry, etc - it feels good not to rush through it. Damn those Stuntys! They fits in barrels good..

I have to admit, it was weird going into one of the areas, seeinga bunch of Dwarfs (players) and realizing they couldn't attack me because I wasn't flagged, but soon enough the next area for questing it was guiding me towards was an open RvR field, so I can kinda see the direction it's going. Not totally open PvP but definitely not PvE.

I tried my Humie Witch Hunter for about 10 minutes before I couldn't stand it, I had to go back to the evil side! Those humans were too clean and nice.

Anyway, I can't wait till we assemble a massive army of Goodgers (and CP'ers) and just go to town on some unsuspecting fools. Healing in the Scenarios was a very good time, I wish I had a knockback at this level but that will come soon enough I'm sure.

Waaaaggh!

I read 7:00 am on the 16th for SE headstart (pretty sure it was on Mythic's site).

You know witch hunters will burn an entire village to the ground rather than let a single chaos tainted escape? Not exactly nice in my book. I'm sure they bathe more than goblins though so I'll give you clean
