Right so the Beta has just ended about 20 mins ago.

Servers back up for Friday

We got many players planning on being there from Friday ? Not seen much written bout WoW recently on here......

Looking to try and get a Horde guild going once it starts.

Done a few weeks in the Beta and i reckon its going to be much more fun in a group than always trying to solo.

LEUVEN

Is there a monthly subscription like with say....Everquest 2?

judgejules

Yup L. monthly, 1/4 1/2 I think.

I've played the US release since it went live. Gets a bit old a bit quick IMHO and I've already unsubscribed.

Collect x number of y and return them to z.
Repeat
With the odd special thrown in.



Guess I've just never recovered from EQ burn out

its about 8-9 a month iirc.

really enjoyed the EN Final and Open Beta.

great for solo play (depending upon character) and if you can team up with a few people even more fun imho.

fitzscoob

mine is pre-ordered, looking forward to it coming.

from not having played everquest for about a year I am looking forward to a game like this, be even better starting on an equal footing and not feel like you are constantly behind like in eq.

Steve Perriam

yeah was a shame to lose the characters i've built up recently but makes more sense to even the playing field.

maybe i'll have decided on a character by friday !

BlkKnight

We're (LANSE) starting a guild. and have about 20 members so far.

We are probabily playing on a PvE server.

If you are interested in joining, please give us a shout:

fitzscoob

Sorry, can you explain the p v e setup? thanks

NWMark

i think he means pvm (player vs monster) there will be 3 types of server when it goes live (well thats if they are the same as the US servers)

pvm - player vs monster
pvp - player vs playerr
RP - role play

pvm - normal playfields will have no pvp, but will still have pvp battlefields
pvp - basically everywhere will be pvp
RP - role playing server you are your character, none of this hi im mark from england more like hi im X the dwaven hunter , and i think will be based on the pvm environment.

havent ordered my copy yet, still undecided, but if i do play it will be on a pvm server.

I'd be concerned if anyone I know wanted to go on the role-playing server. . .

There's some very dubious posts on the WOW (role-playing) forums about people fantasizing (sexually) about the characters in game

fitzscoob

lol rightho, ill look you chaps up once i get the game installed and online

Steve Perriam

looking to go on a pve server as i did in beta.

got the options of pvp combat/duel then if i want.


BlkKnight : will look up your site.

Mkhan

I ve taken tomorrow off to play

I will be also playing on a PvE server ..

Which one are you going to start on so that we can all make sure we start on the same server...

Mkhan

Guess you never joined up with any one then and went on a dungen hunt.. game really opens up when you and a few friends do a few instances.. what about Raids .. did you never take part in any of them either..??? no wonder you found it boring!!

MArk

BlkKnight

There are a whole bunch of us hoping to get on the same server - someone from SN has already said Hi (I hope we've not scared you off)

Keep an eye on this thread

http://www.lanse.co.uk/main/viewtopic.php?t=3352

We will be going PvE - headcount of about 30 players currently

Mkhan

Yeah I jumped on your website already and took a butchers..

I am planning on starting early tomorrow so I will check out what server you guys are starting on


Still not sure which character to go with .. played a Human Warlock and a night elf druid... not sure which yet

Got tonight to make my mind up

Steve Perriam

i'll post on here Mark about servers once i'll checked out where some other people are going incl the lanse guys.

checked out the site yesterday BlkKnight....btw are you BlkKnight on the site m8 ?

hoping my CE will be there when i get home.

BlkKnight

we are all going Horde of some discription - I'm going hunter - there are a few warroirs & the majority are going "magic" based.

In short it doesn't really matter what class you go, as in late game you'll probabily be teamed up with people who you compliment.

/edit

Yes I'm BlkKnight on the lanse site also

fitzscoob

See I quite fancied a change from magic type, I had a level 65 wizard on EQ, that was pretty well kitted out with one of the top guilds on TT server.

I understand the casting class etc, but fancy something different - bet your life I will end up as another wizard type because I know what I am doing (kinda )

Mkhan

Nah I am unnamedwarror on site mate, but need to get home to register my email before I can post..

Mark

Mkhan

I love being a mage/wizard type.. someform of magic user.. I just wish the damn duild could carry a sword.. I hate the silly stick ...

If I use a warlock at least I can carry a sword but I want to be a night elf as they look so cool..

they should of had Walock night elf's Arrrg

fitzscoob

quite fancy a rogue to be fair, on dmg mitigation, a rogue was much better off over a long period of fighting compared to a wizard in eq, less time sat on my *** medding.

BlkKnight

Casters tend to do all their damage very quickly - then run out of mana - where as non casters (hunter in particular) offer a more sustained DPS - if they can survive the initial volley

fitzscoob

many a time i have been sat on my *** in the middle of a fight because i was oom.

will probably end up starting a few and working out which character I can actually play :P

Mkhan

Thats where the Warlocks are so cool, because you have spell to regen your mana (which is taken from health) but then you can do a life drain to get back health.. as long as your pet is doing the business then you have enough time to regen health and save your pet..

yeah .. made my mind up.. warlock it is

fitzscoob

warlock sounds a lot like a necromancer, I will just have to make sure that I have beer and food ready for the enslaught

Steve Perriam

well the CE has arrived

damn big box.

judgejules

Lol, I love how people can go from a question, to full accusation in one paragraph, then instantly figure out the solution to my issue with the game...

Nope, never went on raids

I was a member of the largest Horde guild on our server, here's a screeny from an early raid into 'orrid elf territory...



Far from true, on pve servers, when people start getting 40+ there starts to be quite a bit of open pvp play for those who want to join in, but a lot of wasted time for those that dont. For those that dont know, there are enemy npc's (non-player characters) who are always pvp flagged, upon attacking one the attacker becomes pvp enabled for 15 mins.

People just get the urge to go around ganking enemy villages, vendors, banks etc just to cause grief. I dont know if Bliz have looked into this since I left but it was becoming more of a problem in the last few weeks.

Ogrimarr was constantly getting attacked by high level rogues sneaking in and taking out the whole bank before anyone knew what was going on.

Crossroads was also a problem, as the grave is about 5 secs away, I counted over 150 corpses in the inn where a group of lvl 60 hummie scum were just ganking the whole village, including vendors. Thats a real pain when you want/need to hand your quest in as it took a good 30-45 mins to get enough lowbies to take them out.

But, each to their own, I did have another go at it and took an undead mage to lvl 25 odd, but I just didnt have the heart for it again.

Jules

fitzscoob

should be ready to rock about 5pm tomorrow night once i install and update and set up the payment.

you guys gonna be set on horde?

really cant figure out what class to be, rogue or warlock at the moment, any of you that have played the beta been either of these? Any hints, I get that for a rogue agility and stamina are most important, and int and hp for warlock.

Does any particular race suit either of those classes best?

Steve Perriam

yep horde it will be be.

tauren druid or undead mage.

people seem to favour undead rogues from wot i saw in beta. not sure bout warlocks.
