Oh, post a link when you guys get it up!

Yeah, I keep reminding myself to make some Barak Varr toons and then I remember we can't even make 'em till the regular beta servers come back up on Friday.

Got another hour at work tonight then it is home to sleep. When I wake I hope the servers are up. If so you should see me as Arovin Magus on Barak Varr.

K cool well I just got home from work it's like 12:16 am mountain time and the patching finally came up but all the servers are down. If the name isn't taken look for Winston the Chaos Chosen on Barak Varr. If I can't get that name I'll post whatever I come up with...

I won't be on till tonight. No rest for the wicked, right now. work, work, work....

Yah, 8pm EST the earliest for Gethis the Chosen and I guess I'll make some healers too in case everybody else makes Chosen Or maybe a Marauder? Magus? I'll wait and see what everybody else makes.

ps. Wes, if you're on at the same time as some of us, let's make a temporary beta guild already, pretty please?
I'd like to have a good way to communicate already in place, and although we may not want to be absorbed by the CP guild in the real game, I think it would be fine to have a joint guild in the Beta.

I know people were saying Barak Varr, but it's overcrowded right now. Using Wes's formula though a less populated Red Eye Mountain is open.

Where are people going?

Just woke up. Looks like we choose the most populated server. Won't let me create a character on Barak Varr as there are too many players.

Going to roll on another server for now just to check things out. Hopefully things will die down later and we can all play together.

*edit* Looks like 1600 is the player cap and most of the servers are maxing out quick. In the time it took me to post the least populated jumped from 500 to 900 all other are right at cap.

Hey guys, I'm breather from CP. I'm in the prevwekend and I'll be logging in later today. Hopeful we can get into BarakVarr or meet up somewhere else. I'll check back for the any new server info when I get home and post my ign when I make it.

well I have a lvl 2 chaos chosen on Barak Varr right now Winston is his name. If people can't create though we gotta hurry and decide what sever we want. I wanna be playing with good people this weekend!

** All servers except the Oceanic are at cap already this morning....I just made a Black Orc on Red Mountain server** Thukk is his name. someone just tell me where we are going lol I am in Vent right now!

I just made a chosen on Barak Varr (seems like they're letting people in after the initial rush) and took him to the Orc starting area.

Barak Varr it is when I get off work. I was able to make a couple characters quickly this morning (Marauder/Shaman). Both start with the usual "Neph[xxxx]"

Inioth and I played on Red Eye Mountain for a couple of hours this morning. Looks like they added more servers to the list since then going to try to roll on Barak Varr now while Inioth takes a break.

I would like to call Red Eye Mountain as the backup server if people cannot get on Barak Varr.

*edit* Just tried again for Barak Varr still cannot get in population is over 2000.

Just got back so I guess it's Red Eye Mountain for the moment unless more people can make char's on Barak Varr. I'm on vent again in the WAR channel so if anything changes let me know. Logging in...........NOW!

... still at work ... I hate you people.

Sounds like an illness of some sort. You may want to take it easy in your condition and let your boss know you need to head home for the day.

Apparently I got into preview weekend with my $5 preorder from gamestop so I will be logging in tonight to check the game out. So Barak Varr is the server to choose if you can otherwise it's Red Eye Mountain?

This day has been nothing short of disastrous. I have not been able to play since my last post due to RL getting in the way. I have like 20 mins now then I have a bunch more stuff I need to do. Hopefully I will be on again tonight.

18 minutes to go.. cmon!

Looks like Red Eye Mountain is the server that people are going to be able to get on. Barrak Vars is staying maxed.

I just created a toon there.

Created Gethis, Invid, Jacko on Red Eye Mtn. Playing Jacko, this is my first Zealot... can't find anybody, send me a tell or something.

Also: created channel gwj. So use /cha gwj to join us

Made a character on Barak, name is Haruspex. I'm a dark mage or something. Didn't do much reading up as I only preordered Thursday. Didn't think I'd actually get to play this weekend but downloaded and installed anyway. Fun so far but the game looks somewhat craptastic. I believe I read elsewhere that they turned down the max graphics for the testing. I sure hope that's the case

well hope you aren't planning on playing that char too much =) seems like the main server is Red Eye Mountain. Myself KingMob and Arovin already have chars there. Most people can't create on Barak because the server is full. Come to Red eye. Thukk is my name or Elandriel my dark elf sorcerress

I've been on/off half the day, but have only been able to find Breather from CP because i checked our Vent server and no one was there. So i went to the CP Vent server.

If you're playing please jump on Vent that way we can get friended/partied up

Well it's 3 a.m. here so I'm off to bed...as it stands now I have the Black orc at lvl 8 (Thukk) and a Disciple of Khaine at lvl 6 (Melandrial), the Sorceress is at lvl 2. When I get back on tomorrow I will make sure I am in Vent. GWJ Vent that is. I should be on most of the day tomorrow......I'm really impressed with this game. I have no idea what I am going to play as a main. Also Ranalin what is your toon name?

It's almost 6am here and I just stopped playing. So much fun just PVP'ing all night! I rolled a Warrior Priest and I got it to level 11. I did a couple PQs that probably gave me a full level or two and then all I did for leveling was open RvR and a few Scenarios.

I have a small group of friends that will be playing with me and we tagged along in every fight and everyone was having a blast. So far, I'm loving the game. It's like I'm doing end game stuff at level 1. The open RvR battles can be a zerg fest easily, but after I got into the swing of things, I was picking my targets and avoiding the crowds and I was staying alive for a long time and racking up my kills and renown.

And I was impressed with the performance of the game! So many people on the screen and my FPS stayed rock solid! No lag on my end either.

The game still feels a bit unpolished here and there, but the core gameplay is very solid. It is a fun game with a few new ideas that makes it fun from level 1. I just hope it keeps the same level of entertainment up to level cap and end game stuff.

I think I got my Zealot up to 6 or so (Jacko, on Red Mtn) before I had to go to sleep tonight... I'll get on Vent tomorrow when I have time to play.

Not sure if I like Zealot better than Archmage / Shaman so far, but the Marks are interesting. Also the damage seems spread out so you could spec in Alchemy (the healing mastery) and still be buffing some damage spells.

Where is your WP and what name, KillTrash? In case I want to go back to Archmage / Swordmaster later.

I had trouble killing with my Zealot in PvP... seemed to be gimped a little on doing any kind of direct damage. So I'd run around, put DoTs on everyone, and heal the melee folk.

I got all kinds of stuttery nonsense from my gameplay... but it might be my rig.
