You guys need to cut the op some slack. He didn't make a post just bashing the game...he stated he was disappointed and then explained why in detail. All you fanbois are just going to have to accept that the game doesn't appeal to everybody.

he posted his opinion to get the opinions of others..otherwise one wouldnt post if you didnt want to see feedback on it.

ditto...i usually turn it of anyways

are you kidding...???

right above the fullscreen check box there are 2 resolution options. One for windowed and one for fullscreen.....i have these set at different resolutions for when i am playing windowed or full. and my options range from 800x600 to 1650x1050.

Me thinks you may not have your vid card set properly or something.

you cannot have twinks in war....virtually impossible..due to the fact you get xp from pvp....and can't turn it off

this is not good news for AoC fans.,,,

first the financial officer quits, now the Gaute. With their new stock price low......i really am starting to think that funcom will not exist in it's current capacity within the next year.

WAR may have the shortest life span in the history of MMORPG's.

Instant fun and hollow gameplay is mostly accompanied with instant boredom.

Status of servers in EU today (13:05): One high faction - 8 medium and 40+  low population.

We'll see in 8 weeks time...

NA servers...8 full, rest high and medium...i think 2 low

Will it beat wow....no

will it have a great population....yes

does anyone care about war vs wow anymore..... no

yeah i went by everyone elses opinion and bought AoC...I lasted 2, maybe 3 weeks.

i never understood why people wait to preorder....it doesnt cost you anything until it ships..../boggle

and on an evenly balanced realm vs realm server (such as volkmar where both sides are at heavy population).....this should take weeks to months to capture an opposing city

you do know that by capturing and controlling opposing cities you unlock new quests and the king of all raids where you kill...umm..the king!

try running it as administrator, and also check your firewall, make sure there is an exception for warhammer

now you are just dangling a steak in front of a pack of hungry wolves...good job!

and for someone who researched this game really really well...i am amazed you missed the FAQ on the main website

What are your plans for European distribution?

EA Mythic is partnered up with GOA for European distribution and hosting. Visit www.war-europe.com for more information.

Will Americans and Europeans be on the same servers?

No, our partner GOA is handling all European distribution and all the European servers. They're also handling the translation issues for the German, Italian, Spanish, and French players. We are working much, much more closely with GOA than we did on Camelot. The experience of the typical GOA player, and that of the typical player in North America, should be exactly the same with all content being released simultaneously.
 

Will you have servers set up in one location, or in different locations around the world?

Currently we will have servers in both the U.S. and Europe. EA Mythic will operate the U.S. servers and our partner GOA will provide the same services in Europe for a number of languages and countries. We are always considering new partners and locations to bring WAR to as many people as possible.

you could play on any server you like. If you want oceanic or NA servers, buy the NA copy. If you want to play on the EU, then buy the EU copy. Done and Done.

EU today 17:00

2 Server Full with waiting Q on Chaos side
6 High
9 medium
18 Low... compared to yesterday ... only 4 were low.

Same trend open Beta. Some don't seem to play long ...

 

... a lot of people work on tuesdays? I dunno, just a hunch.

that and that all server caps were raised by another 1/3 with only 60k people prior to the headstart. You leave the same amount of water in one glass, and put it in an even bigger glass....course the % filled is going to decrease.

Funcom's motto:

We make SOE look good!

In terms of how our rollout plan looks like, here are some more details:

1) On day one, our population cap on each server will start at 1/3 of its total cap and then move up to ½ on a rolling basis. We can raise that number any time, no restart of the servers are necessary.

2) As a server approaches cap, we will either raise the cap again or deploy another server of that type. Deployment of a server takes only 30 minutes and our intention is that there are no server queues during the CE/SE period.

3) By day 2, we will raise the server cap of all servers to 2/3.

4) By day 3, we will raise the server cap of all servers to its full cap.

5) Each server’s cap is a bit soft and even our top cap is less than the servers can handle.

6) Depending on how many of our CE/SE players take advantage of the head start, we will add more servers as necessary throughout the entire process.

Once again, our plan (not our goal, but our plan) is to deploy servers as needed to *avoid* long server queues whether it is in the Head Start or beyond. Please keep in mind we needed to have some queuing in Open Beta so we could test the code before launch.

Here’s the list of the next servers of each type that are queued up so that guilds can start making their plans.

We will not open all the CE/SE servers at launch for a number of reasons, one of which is that doing so would be unfair to the SE players who might also want to come into a “fresh” server just like our CE people. We also will not open all the servers we have racked at SE launch as the same reasoning applies to people who didn’t pre-order the game. We will not open all our servers at launch as well since that could lead to servers with too few people in the beginning if people spread out too much.

If this plan doesn’t work, you can expect us to make changes on the fly and/or after launch including free transfers as necessary.

i came walking into this thread thinking it was going to be a "OMG WAR BETA has more hours on xfire than AOC" Lol...pleasently surpsied...

PS... WAR BETA does have no more hours logged on xfire....while typing this i thought..."Hmmmm...does it?" went to check and surely it does! in fact doubled lol....

sorry just thought it was funny :)

def does......thx ...that just took a load off

Question...so this means that those of us who are are CE buyers cannot play with players (once SE headstart begins) on the same server. Umm you do relize whole guilds DO NOT BUY CEs?

WTF? So...only about 10 of my guildies bought the CE with another 20+ with SE's....so basically we have to start on 2 different servers and cannot play headstarts together? Please say this isnt so.
