I just subscribed to Warhammer Online again to see if the game has improved much since I last touched it. I'm going to roll a brand new Shadow Warrior and just stick with that until I get bored of the game.

Just wondering if anyone else wants to give this MMO another chance for a month with me, else I'll need to find me a short-term guild since playing RvR without a nice party is only half as fun as rollin' with a good team.

If WAR fails to entertain me, then I'm just going to re-activate my WoW subscription and go back to my Rogue as that was a really fun class to play on that game. The Rogues in WAR just did not interest me at all for some reason.

So, anyone up for joining me for a month?

Ahh hell, why not? I enjoyed my Runepreist immensly so I shall likley stick with him, but I'll make a toon to go up with you as well.

Looks like many of the servers, including Eltharion has now been consolidated. I'm guessing you have to transfer your toon to one of the new servers if you want to continue using that Rune Priest.

It also seems like Open RvR servers are gone completed, all the EU and US servers listed are just 'Core'. I'm cool with this though, because I was going to wipe all my old toons and start a new Shadow Warrior anyway, not to mention the fact that there's so few servers now means that hopefully the RvR lakes are more populated now.

EDIT

The two remaining EU servers are Karak-Norm and Karak-Azgal. I'm making my new Shadow Warrior on Karak-Azgal.

I've transfered my Rune Preist over no problems, even got to keep the name. Shame it's not ORvR any more, but asd you say, higher pop density should counteract that.

I transferred my SW instantly but only to delete him. My new SW is LV7 I believe.

Character's name is Nemphtis, of course.

I'm waiting for the guy I lent my discs to to get them back to me, as I don't really fancy downloading the whole game again. I'll re-activate once I have them.

I joined a pretty cool alliance of two guilds. Their first guild is for LV1-LV39 members, and the second guild is for LV40 members only. I find it hard to appreciate an MMO if you're not actually in a guild, otherwise you're just playing solo and the only time you PvP is with random noobs.

Also, slightly gutted that Shadow Warrior seems to generally be considered the most gimped class in the game. Everyone seems to think their class is gimped, but in this case even non-Shadow Warriors are telling me "Yeah, that's pretty much true, prepare for an uphill struggle from start to finish unless Mythic fixes them."

Still, it's the only class in WAR that I really enjoyed messing about with, there were others that are fun but I just don't like the way they look, as this is a big factor for me in MMOs. Shadow Warrior looks fucking bad-ass.

Sounds sweet, I shall have to request membership as well =). Also, remember to take class balance opinons with a grain of salt, MMO players do seem to get much more arsey over things they don't agree with than other gamers.

Yeah, I know. If you visit the WAR forums and look at the class sub-forums, everyone is moaning about their class, even people whose classes are widely considered OP such as Bright Wizards. But that's my point - you know your class is gimped when even the non-Shadow Warriors are telling you it's gimped.

My Shadow Warrior is LV11 now, nearly at Tier 2. Cem has installed the trial version so he can mess about on the game in the Tier 1 zones. Everyone should grab that trial since it's unlimited, except there is a level cap.

I got bored of waiting to get my discs back, re-activated my sub and I'm downloading now.

Text me when you're on, I'm in T2 now, thinking about rolling a Witch Hunter though. Shadow Warrior is tough to play well unless you have a good team with you, so many things need to be going 'right' just so we can do some decent damage, it starts to get boring, staying at the back spamming the same skill all day too, especially when the healers are doing more DPS than me.

Haha, I'm at 36% downloaded now, won't be until tommorow I'm ready to go.

I left my PC going over night, all installed and ready to go. Played half an hour or so this morning, just wandering round mostly, trying to figure out what I was up to before ^^.

What level was your Rune Priest again? I'll be online after work today, so we can do some ORvR and Scenarios. I was in a 24 player Warband in the oRvR lake last night, we were steam-rolling through all the enemy keeps like an unstoppable force.

Nice, I'm level 16. I'll be on after work, finish at 9 so I should be home around 10ish.

Have you bought your mount yet? Because the RvR zones bolster you to LV21, you are able to use your amount in those zones even though the level requirement is 20. They come in rather handy during PvP since you can catch up to people who don't have one yet, not to mention get away from people who do have one.

Just downloading the WAR trial on my Mac now. I've not played it before, but I don't imagine it's too difficult to pick up.

I'll roll a character on the same server as you guys. I'll probably call it Darfuria, for obvious reasons.

I hope you like PVP and mediocre graphics.

Roll a Warrior Priest or whatever they're called, healers in WAR are good fun.

You mean, you need a healer? ;)

Yeah I probably will, I enjoy playing support classes anyway.

Yeah Healers in WAR are great. My Rune Priest is a healer, but the way the game works and the way classes are, I'm still a solid DPS. There are no "pure" healers, everyone can kick some ass =).

Hardly. As Anthony already explained, Mythic made a point to ensure every class gets into the thick of combat, as this game is very PVP focussed. To put it simply; healers need mana to heal friendly targets, and mana is gained by damaging hostile targets. You can't just sit at the back like a pussy watching health bars all day, this isn't WoW. ;D

Re-rolled my Shadow Warrior to a Witch Hunter. :]
