Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning Gameplay Thread.

[Trash Man]

I thought I'd make a new thread to chat in about WAR now that it's the first day of the headstart and retail release.

So what servers are people joining and what is your main class going to be? Before I played the beta I had pretty much decided on a Black Orc and that's what I'm sticking with for the retail.

Still not sure on what server to join yet as I have 2 different groups of friends joining 2 different servers So I'm stuck which way to go at the moment. I think I'd rather join an open server though.

Roll on 13:00 CET

I'm probably going to be playing on Karag Orrud the same one as for beta. Same class as well, Dark Elf DoK. But will dabble with other classes to see how they play, as you do

HS code has been validated, bonus items waiting for email but not too worried about them just yet. Now i'm ready for the launch sometime this afternoon

[TiG]

I'll be on Karag Orrud Destruction side too. Goblin Shaman.

Won't be on till Monday tho.

Also had my HS code validated, although I got this message in the same email:

Your CD-Key has been correctly registered. It also gives you access to the following components which have been activated:

Head Start licence
Head Start Collector's Edition period (14/09/2008 to 01/10/2008 included)

Certain components could not be activated because they are incompatible with your account. We would like to advise you that those keys can be used to activate products on another account.

Not sure what that means, I've had no luck finding out yet.

sorry to ask in here, but does this require a subscription, and how much a month is it

No need to be sorry mate

Yea, it has a monthly sub charge.

Alternatively, pre-paid Game Card packs for a 60-day subscription will be available through participating retailers for 29.99€ (£23.81).

The regular edition of the game will be priced at 49.99 € (£39.69) RRP with a 30-day subscription included.

This is a confusing and mis-leading message which is not to be taken too seriously. We're looking into this but I wouldn't expect a fix tonight.

Taken from Warhammer Alliance So generally just ignore it for now. I've now got my ingame items validated and that also came with the same message.

Good to know

Also got my ingame items validation, that came with the same message also.

All we need now is the servers up

[Trash Man]

The waiting is almost over, the Headstart will soon be here and your adventures can begin in earnest. We will be opening the servers at 15:30 CET this afternoon, all Collector's Edition pre-orders will be able to log in and begin their exploration of the Warhammer world. Battle awaits and adventure beckons!

That's 2:30pm our time right?

[TiG]

Yep Trash, but i wouldn't hold your hopes up for it being on time.... nothing else has

I've just made my Black Orc on Karak Eight Peaks.

Made him alright, now I'm in the queue to play him, 191 of 191

[Splash]

Fortuna, level 2 DE Sorceress on Karak-Azgal

[Trash Man]

Fortuna, level 2 DE Sorceress on Karak-Azgal

I wanted to go on Karak Azgal, no they said, go on Eight Peaks they said, it will have more people they said.

Damn right it has 56 of 277 in the queue at the moment.

[Splash]

Queue on KA is 53 at the mo, but it seems to have been adopted as the unofficial Closed Beta testers' server, so I should see some names I recognise. That and there's a few of the CB English Order guilds on there (Mystical Awakening being the biggest) that I'm looking to kick in the nuts.

[Destroyer^]

Btw theres loads of ex daoc prywden guilds going karak-Hirn...thats where me and my guild are going
