[Official] Warhammer Online

[gregb0b]

The public quests and RvR quests are awesome.

[Dev Null Zen]

Yeah, if anyone plans to play Order and is looking to get into a guild, PM me and I will link you to our site. We have TF2 and CoD4 divisions too, but are really looking to break into WAR right off the bat and try to gain some dominance.

Finally downloaded and updates and installed.

Man this game is fun, so much stuff, no issues running great! Can't wait for my friends to get this!

public quests are really awesome! :D

I'm diggin' this game as well. :D

I'm glad you guys are enjoying it. The game is pretty solid. Tier 1 RvR is fun but there are some issues (tanks and healers are a little too powerful for the tier), but T2 and up are terrific because all the careers start to even out.

I really feel bad about the people who write the game off as a WoW clone, because they'll miss out on a great game IMO. I also feel for the people in Europe who have to deal with GoA. :(

Devil and the deep blue sea.

Any thoughts of improving either of the below situations?

I got my beta client from Mininova, downloaded at 1.6MB/s but i was also uploading at 200KB/s so I got a pretty good deal.

Also i was wondering what everyone's thoughts are about the "factions" so to speak, I really like Chaos but sadly all my friends are on the Oder side :-( This is exactly what happened in WoW, i started later then everyone else and they all chose Alliance...those nubs lol.

All your friends are on the other side? I felt like everyone wanted to be Chaos, maybe it's changed already.

You know, you can always create multiple characters :)

[39 Thieves]

haha, sorry, for some reason I remembered WoW being better graphics than that :laugh: Thanks for the comparison image.

Well I shall have a nose around the site and forums, it does look promising but I don't think I will get it since I'm busy with college atm :(

Warhammer, sometimes known as WH or in reference to the Fantasy Battles game, WHFB is a dark fantasy universe created over 25 years prior to 2008 by Games Workshop, a British company in the tabletop wargaming industry. Warhammer is one of the most influential fantasy universes, having influenced settings like Blizzard's Warcraft universe, and has itself been influenced by sources such as J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, the works of H.P. Lovecraft, the works of Michael Moorcock, the works of Edgar Alan Poe and the Dungeons and Dragons setting by E. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson.

Since its creation, Warhammer has spawned tabletop war-games, miniatures, book/novels, video/computer games such as WAR, Warhammer: Dark Omen and Warhammer: Mark of Chaos, and even a pen-and-paper RPG game.

The license for creating a MMORPG in the Warhammer universe is currently held by EA Mythic; the are using it to create Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

The license for creating other types of video/computer games set in the Warhammer universe is currently held by Namco.

Warhammer has a sister universe set in a dystopian far-future; the science-fiction based Warhammer 40,000.

I have to agree, the models and animations in WoW are sooo nice, War to me looks like AoC and i didn't care to much for AoC, but if the replay value is up there then the graphics wont mean anything to me.

[ph0bia]

does anyone know when the CE head start begins?!? i heard the 15th but i want to be sure (gonna take the day of off work heh )

[Minimoose]

Since I kind of liked WoW but couldn't get into it as I started playing it quite late I decided to give this a go and get a beta key yesterday, I don't understand why they had some available for France, but non for UK, Italy, Germany and Spain I believe (I had to say I was French).

I managed to get it at 300kb/s which i believe my internet has been capped at (I pay for a 8mb/s connection, the line can supposedly give me 6mb/s (I could still never get over 300kb/s which seems to be weird)) but it started going down and now I get about 3.3mb/s, I don't know if I should be able to download at more than 300kb/s or not. This ***** me off since I should be getting a line speed of 6mb/s but even if I did I wouldnt be able to download any faster.

Before at my old house I had a 6mb/s line speed i was getting 700kb/s (before i moved house). I might have to have a row with my ISP or BT :angry:

Yes the 15th for EU people.

[S00N3R FR3AK]

Nice shots there, I was going to post some, might do that later. Yea I basically had and having the same experience with the game. The only real issue is teh targeting system, not being able to attack the people, but its like 1 out of 6 attacks, at least for me. That will be fixed very fast. Yea from what I see many types of characters on the destruction side will get nerfed, but that is normal. Also at least yesterday, the Order had many more people playing it then disorder, like 1:4 or something, not sure, it was crazy. I am rank 5 at the moment, which is the first rank where you can start doing PVP type stuff. RvR is awesome yes, many options and things to do, loving it! I didn't know about the friends list issue since I wasn't adding people since I thought nothing gets carried over on release day.

Anyways, some screenshots should be coming soon, overall, awesome game!

You can start doing RvR at level 1.

I didn't say RvR.

[Vortex566]

I am really liking this game a lot the RVR and the Public Quests are really good. Graphics where a bit :o when I started but I think it's smart as AoC showed people your MMO does not have to be top of the range to sell.

I look forward to testing more and might order it when it comes out.

[39 Thieves]

Final graphics still aren't in the game yet, correct?

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

If those aren't the final graphics thats awesome, would love to see even better graphics.

[mundox]

It's there any other way to get the client besides fileplanet? 'cause waiting 22hours in queue just to start dling 9gb ain't fun...

[Richard Hammond]

Get all 7 parts here., i maxed out my connection at 2.5Mb/s.

*edit* Ah sorry forgot theres seperate US Beta files.

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Yea Fileplanet sucked for the download but for US there really isn't another choice, torrents are same speed.

And yea, it would be nice to have only one client.

[39 Thieves]

If those aren't the final graphics thats awesome, would love to see even better graphics.

That's the last I heard about it, but that was mentioned a few weeks back in some other forums, so it may be innaccurate. But unless I'm wrong, final full-quality graphics won't be seen until the game officially launches.

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Well let's hope, not that they aren't good but I always enjoy better and better graphics :)

Damn, it sucks so hard that torrent (gay isp throttles p2p traffic) and FP (my subscription expired and I'm not really interested in renewing it right now) are the only options for the US client.

[funkymunky]

Still no joy for me and tens of thousands of other Europeans on the Beta :(

GOA have messed up the whole registration process due to their incompetency :(

I so want to play

[tablet_user]

wheres the lifer account. the thing i like about lord of the rings online pricing is i can buy a lifer account and never pay monthly for the life of the game.

That is what I did and love it, no worrying that if I can't play for a month there goes my money. I hope they do that.
