Warhammer Online - Page 2

I've already got the game.

My head start pre-order began Monday. Some more started Tuesday. Thursday is release. I got my box on the 17th, though the official release is the 18th.

The biggest complaint is that there's not enough player's heads to be throwing axes at in all the servers right now due to only pre-orders playing on a healthy amount of servers. Since official release hasn't quite happened yet, I imagine that problem will be solved soon.

At first I was all about the Public Quest system, then got sucked into the scenario queues (that can go extremely quickly with a full server), then did open RvR, then back to ... omg too much to do even with my guild grouped up.

Gotta say that the RvR/PvP is just plain fun, not a pain in the ass. The PvE content certainly isn't something that'll keep you grinding 60 mobs for 3 drops all the time. I'm surprised at how many people like grinding like that but.. I stray. It's no-hassle MMO with the fun thrown back in, finally.

Downloading via EA as we speak.

I'm on the Badlands server Order side right now. If you happen to jump in there & need a guild, send Stinkypinkey a tell, or Linna the guild leader (and tell her Choda sent you).

Her old man is a subsimmer on occasion, too, though I don't see him in-game all that much.

Last i heard there is a warhammer 40k mmo in the works from THQ. I'm also sick of medieval fantasy/etc mmos (and WoW endless grind fests).

One mmo I realy wana see happen is Shadowrun

This is what I'm waiting for http://www.stargateworlds.com/ ,not sure what I want to play first - Jaffa or Human , maybe even a Goa'uld

I'm playing the Chaos on a different server atm, tho I need to start a High Elf char on some server too as I wanna be an archer.

Oh and one silly question... WHERE THE F**K IS THE SUBSCRIPTION INFO!?!?!??! I cant find the ******* thing anywhere.

Tried Warhammer on-line...didn't like it. Same ol same ol. Instead of grinding instances you grind public quests for equipment.

They can talk all they want about the pve content in Warhammer,but the further along you go,the more the supposedly pve quests try to push you into rvr which is great if you pvp which I don't. Only game I ever pvped in was SWG...back in pre-cu when our Guild used to aid an allied guild with defending their base...now those were good times.

Only mmo that I have much interest in now is Bioware's upcoming mmo,though I'll probably mess around with WoW's Lich King expansion for awhile.

Not sure a Shadowrun mmo would be viable. Not really sure that that many people have heard of Shadowrun. I think what needs to be done there is for a Publisher to take a chance on a Shadowrun RPG and see where it goes from there. Hell I still play the ancient sega genesis Shadowrun game now and then...always wanted someone to make a pc Shadowrun RPG.

Ya don't need to know about Shadowrun to get people interested, its got all the key stuff (guns.. check, cool cybernetic parts.. check, magic.. check, vehicles.. check, cyberspace.. check, massive mega corporations taking over the world.. check, etc). Bad thing though is Microsoft seems to have licensed all the FASA stuff (Battletech and Shadowrun) and their Shadowrun game pretty much fell flat on its face (vista only game), they also unfortunatly turned it into a kind of battlefield knockoff multiplayer only game.
