[PC] Warhammer Online

DnD was also heavily inspired by fantasy literature

I'm sure it did, however the argument was that WoW stole things from past games. If we were to argue about what DND took from then there would be another whole 12 or so posts on it. What did fantasy literature steal from? That is the question.

So what server are you playing on, Kaz? (Or anyone else that's playing)

I wasn't able to get into beta, so I don't know the current server situation. I'll see if I can google a list in a little bit, ill post and call my buddies see what they are playing on.

~Update, I will most likely be playing on one of the RVR servers. I definetly won't be on the Roleplay however, there is a chance I will make an appearance on a Core server. That all depends how bad the ganking (is that what they call it on WAR?) is.

~Update, I originally planned to create a Goblin Shaman in order to enhance my friends in combat. We all decided on destruction. I'll create a who's playing who up top once I get some feedback. Goblin Shaman is still my idea, however I'm unsure as to which server they are playing on atm. They are big Warhammer fans, and I could actually seeing some of them playing on a RP server. We will see how it goes though.

Which server/faction/class/race are you going to play?

I'm going to start with a High Elf Healer/Mage class like I did in beta, so I guess it doesn't matter. I'd do a RvR realm, but I don't think I'll be devoting the time I'd need for that to be viable (I'd need to have a group of people to level with and I'd probably fall behind). You can find a list of realms on the warhammer site under realm status, though it doesn't list types. I'm going to create my characters during lunch today.

I found a site on google that listed each realm along with its type, and then I also found the definitions of each realm. I added them above.

Destruction is the new Alliance, all of my guildies have switched to Order since Open Beta.

I remember seeing somewhere they had a map of the US. Within each regeion they showed the # of Order players and the # of Destruction players. Not one region had more Order then Destruction. Depending on the balance between the two I might end up rolling a dwarf of some sort.

You haven't made your characters yet?!?!

No, I didn't preorder the CE. I got a call from Gamestop tonight saying that my game will be in tomorrow before noon.

WW, do you have any buddies playing with you on your server? I'm not to sure how much my friends will play seeing as they all have families and what not. I might just roll on my own server, although that can get really borring, unless you make some friends.

Nope, I don't know anyone else playing. I didn't preorder the Collectors Edition. Normal preorders started playing at 7am today. Getting the normal box tomorrow won't do you much good, either, since the retail key won't work untill Thursday. What you need is the key from the preorder box.

That's called a good-ole-fashion shafting. That's bullshit, btw. A bit too much of a reward for preorders, imo.

I did preorder the game, and I'm getting the box today. That means I should be able to play today huh?
