I have emailed them about the password problem last night, and they told me they were having some trouble with their login servers, however this error is new, i emailed them again explaining the new problem. If there are having trouble with their servers then they need to let us know if they are working on it and when we can expect to get back on. I dont want to waste the only time I have to play because they choose not to keep me updated. If I cant get into WAR by tommorow I am cancelling my sub untill I get my account fixed. Not paying them for nothing.

Are you able to log into the patcher? Or are you just not able to get past the character select screen?

I know some people were surprised to not be ale to log in yesterday, but it was because their free month was up and they hadn't entered a payment methid yet.

I have already setup my account, and i was having the same password problem last night. My billing cycle wont take place untill tommorow.  It lets me log in to the patcher, and once i get to the character select screen it disconnects me before it hits the server and before I have a chance to accept the EULA.  It just says "Your account is already logged in to a diff" im assuming "different server" eitherway this is the second day in a row where ive been prevented from playing.  I would hate to cancel my sub for something stupid like this.

I am trying to log in to play and its telling me that my account is currently logged into a different server. Is anyone else getting this?  I was having issues logging in last night too, only last night it was saying i had an invalid password.  Anything explaining the situation would be great. Thanks.

1st State of the game is out:

Edit: Looking good, 2 new classes, performance and stuttering being adressed, finetuning of existing classes, implementation of major changes to the chat system, more Tome unlocks, droprate and itemization updates, more incentives to engage in world RvR, server transfers, etc.

 

This is what happens when you push an unfinished product out the door to beat the rivals expansion. 

Interesting opinion, look...there it goes...lets all wave...
 

No MMO ever is complete at launch, nor is it complete when it dies.  MMORPG is an entity that can constantly be added upon to improve or re-create in some cases, (WoW is a perfrect example)

If AOC gave me a free month, and let me try all the new content and all the changes I might play it. But I refuse to re-sub to AOC and pay 15 bucks otherwise.

After reading all the posts in the thread....I'm still scratching my head wondering why you're doing PvP in raid gear.  Raid gear doesn't have near enough (if ANY) resilience on it.  There's no way I'd run BGs or arenas in my raid gear, any more than I would raid in my PvP gear. 

I'm actually really LIKING my 70 lock atm.  I was spec'd 0/21/40 for raiding.  I gave up sacrifice to go deeper into the destro tree, and so far....I'm lovin' it. :)  HOWEVER....I don't think I would stay this spec for PvP, and I DEFINITELY would not be wearing my raid gear TO PvP.  But...to each their own, I suppose. :)

Here is a good example of why WoW is a huge time sinc. No offense to you girlgeek, but we need 5 different sets of gear just to enjoy the game lol. This needs to be fixed period.

WoW needs to make gear that can be used in PVP and in raids. The whole concept of having to grind to get all these different sets is mind bogling. As far as locks are concerned they are alot of fun, but it sucks when your required to go SL/SL just to survive in PVP.

Well the good news is, that those "cry babies" are leaving to go back to their old game.  Whatever that may be. Sometimes people cry about new games just because they want the attention though. Its ok once another MMORPG comes out they will be in that forum trying to ruin that game as well. Its a well known fact every new mmorpg has the babies of the genre complain about the stupidest things...which most of the time can be fixed by putting some gamer effort into it.

I am def not gonig to be a hardcore need to get everything uber type player i just want to play casual and have fun.

If your going to be very very casual then I dont reccomend WoW.  Its for more hardcore need to get the best gear ASAP perfectionists. If you still want to try it, i highly reccomend getting a guild doesnt mind you as a casual player, probably on a PVE server or RP.  Most guilds in PVP tend to go overboard with the requirements to join them.

P.S. If you buy WoW purchase it by itself first or try the trial to make sure you like it, after you do then look into buying the expansions.

I really want the expansion to give me a reason to start playing wow again. I liked it alot in its early stages but the TBC gear grind and the constant BG's are kinda boring. So Currently im playing WAR *observing* the WOTLK expansion and hearing what my friends that still raid are going to say about it. Really interested and looking forward to AION.

currently observing the following games

1) Aion

2) Wrath of The Lich King

3) The Last Remnant (Console Game))

4) Final Fantasy 13 (Console Game)

5) Infamous (console game)

6) White Knight (PS3 Exclusive, i think)

Playing

1) Warhammer

2) The Witcher

I can play for like 8 hours fri-sun and maybe one weekday if i have to .

Yes, I play maybe an hour or two everyday sometimes I can only play on the weekend. If you want a more casual game i suggest Warhammer over World of warcraft.  Only reason is because WoW requires alot of time for gear grinding to allow you to get into most places. WAR is more casual..but both very good games.

Best PVE games for me as listed:

1)Everquest: Ruins of Kunark

2) World of Warcraft

3) Warhammer.

Best overall MMORPG so far for pve and pvp and stability.

1) Warhammer

2) World of Warcraft

3) (Insert name here)

Games I am Looking forward to:

1) Aion: Tower of Eternity

2) A game similar to EVE online only Fantasy Based

3) A game based on the books of Terry Goodkinds "Sword of Truth" Series. (that would be an awesome MMORPG and MOVIE.)

So yeah lets get a few things straight, no one cares about WAR being better then WOW, or at least I dont and I think the constant comparison is rediculous.

1) WoW is a good game,

2) WAR is a good game.

3) True facts: regardless of what you may beleive: If Mythic stated that the cut content was going to be in the games release (like AOC) and it wasnt then thats bad form.  However Mythic announced they were cutting it for good reason (stability and balancing issues). Now they are telling us instead of paying for this added content in an expansion much like what Blizzard has done with a few things. Everyone should be happy, in fact who really cares what Blizzard has promised. Last I checked were talking about the state of how WAR is doing not WoW

4) We on this forum are not going to make change the way Blizzard does their MMO's I think its pretty aparant that after 4 years of new class requests and other things...they have basically showed us they arent going to listen to everything we ask for. Nor should they.

5) So far and none of you can dis-credit Mythic at the current time, given everything they are doing I say their overall performance is A++ and much better then any other company so far. I dont care about LOTRO or L2 so dont even bother bringing them up. No company to day in the history of MMO's (and i have been around a while) has even come close to the smoothness of the WAR launch or the quickness of the team to fix updates and "LISTEN" to the player base.

6) Flame me all you want, but you cannot avoid the facts. A company that realeses there game can controll the content in which you use. And I tip my hat to Mythic for giving us so much free content within just the first year. And dont say they had them planned to be in at launch because they announced they changed their plans and you WERE ALL AWARE OF IT. You knew what you bought so you cant say that they are just giving you what they were going to put in anyway.  Because you can say the same thing then about every damn class fix or update in any other MMO.

If 1 thing that really grinds my gears (peter griffin) about WoW its the fact that it took them 4 years to add a new class. And to make it worse, it requires everyone to buy 2 expansions to access it. I liked WoW better when the Shaman was Horde exclusive and Paladin was Alliance exclusive..at least that made me look forward to playing the other faction at some point. 

Future of WoW:

Press Release:

Dear loyal fans,

We here at Blizzard are going to take a new approach we have been kicking around the office.  We are going to come out with a new expansion every year that will offer 1 class. Ofcourse we will make sure you all can play with alot more hairstyles and cute little pets too.

Werid that Starcraft is breaking up into 3 seperate games and we are starting to get 1 new class every expansion...heh anyone else see a trend here?

 

Dont be so hard on the game they added 2 more battlegrounds also in that amount of time. You know with all the money Blizzard rakes in every month that the new class is gonna be great. It cost more to develop that 1 class then it does to field several pro sports teams with the amount of money they bring in.

 

I am hard on Blizzard because I have spent 4 years playing WoW, and I really did enjoy it.  However given the way they have driven the game I cant help but have a problem with it. They really should have added a new class much sooner then 4 years later. Alot of other stuff that they could have prevented was left unchecked. TBC killed the original game due to the gear grind and ill never forgive them for that. If they want my support they need to fix what they broke.

Your going to witness the next rollercoaster event next to the stock market between these 2 competitors.

After the Lich King expansion 1st month, things will go back to the same. WoW will be WoW and WAR will be WAR. People will reach 80 and it will be the same ole same ole in WoW like in TBC.

1. Grind BG's for gear.

2. Do Arenas for gear.

3. Do PvE scripted raids for gear.

4. And Leveling a Death Knight to 80 in 7 days so you can solo Onyxia (sorry for the sarcasm).

5. Customize your character with different hairstyles.

Now I dont see any major RvR in the upcoming WoW expansion only a BG that carries siege weapons with buildings that are destroyable and a 10 or 15 player battleground (unless this has changed and is this per side or total in the BG)? Is Open World going to have Siege Weapons and anything we do in the Open World going to affect our side?

Now I left WoW about 5 months ago and enjoyed my time back then with my guild, however will it host a better RvR experience than WAR?

 

The new battleground ' Strands' is 15v15 and uses destructable buildings and moveable seige weapons.  It's basically like a Warhammer scenario or a WOW battleground except it utilizes the moveable seige weapons and destruction system.  it's set up like a Normandy type invasion.  One side storms a beach from boats, climbs a hill and tries to capture a keep.   Once the keep is captured..  the teams switch sides and the old 'offense' team now has to defend the keep for as long as it took them to capture the keep the first time.  if the new offensive team captures the keep faster, they win the scenario.

There is also a complete seperate new overland RvR zone (Lake Wintergrasp) that is fully open world so has no player limits.  Some key features

1.  moveable seige weapons which players control/drive
2. Destructable buildings and landscape
3. Aerial combat... both fighter planes and bombers
4. Personell carriers (multi-player vehicles)
5. The faction that wins Lake Wintergrasp ( 2.5 hour  window) has access to
     A.  Special Vendors and portals
     B.  A short raid which drops PvP gear
    C.  All bosses in all  instances in all zones drop a 'spirt shard' type currency that can be used to buy pvp gear
    D.  Access to special quests inside the Lake Wintergrasp zone

My guild is going to be sticking to 10-man raids, but we plan on always doing Lake Wintergrasp on our raid nights just because of the spirit shards.... it's almost like doubling your pve loot from raids if your side controls lake wintergrasp.

WoW does not have RvR please, just wanted to quickly point this out. What WoW is putting in their expansion is a last minute attempt to compete with WAR so they dont suffer a huge player loss. WoW pvp will never change.  Its always going to be about griefing..no matter how many times they patch it...will always be the same.  When WoW2 comes out I hope they incorporate acctual RVR into their game.

I think some of what you say is true, but lets be fair here WoW and WAR are both very good games.  I just think they offer completely different playstyles.  WoW is more PVE based with a small concentration to PVP.  Their recent expansion offering new Siege pvp and stuff is an answer to the players that are leaving WoW for more PVP inspired content.  In no way will that PVP zone be sufficient to take the PVP players away from WAR...its just too little too late.  WAR on the other hand has a great emphasis on PVP combat and it does this well.  However in the PVE field it has alot of stuff to do to catch up to WoW. However given that WAR just came out with the amount of PVE it has, it will easily surpass WoW as an overall game in less time then WoW needed. Now WAR doesnt need to really upgrade its pve anyway..lets face it WAR is for pvp not for pve. So lets face it WAR and WoW fanboys you both should equally be happy, because this healthy competition means better quality games for all of us.

No offense to the WoW fan base, or to the WAR, but each games offers different elements. Soon as you guys/gals get that through your thick skulls you will enjoy the game your playing more and you guys can both stfu about how bad you think the other game is.  Tell us your opinion once, tell me more then once on multiple threads (like some people) and your trying to injure the player base, and that my friends is bad form.

1) Paladins are OP? I guess I am going back to WoW

2) WAR doesnt have anyone playing like ever (wish it had like 10 mil players)

3) I left because Mythic doesnt listen to me as much as Blizzard...I constantly post for NERFS and UPGRADES to specific chars but OMG they never listen to meeez.

4) WOTLK is going to introduce more gear to grind what else is there in this world?

5) its going to introduce one whole new zone specifically just for PVP Sieges OMG thats sooo pwning..stupid WAR gives me too many PVP options my head hurts.

In all seriousness, WoW is a fun game in its own right.  But I prefer the WoWheads to go back and leave WAR, at least the ones that miss their (WTFPWN) button macro on their characters.

I tried to get an answer from Azrile aka Petey-Boy in another pointless thread he made about Amazon TOP100 sales list.

My question was: "What is your Agenda?" He never answered.

Why is he posting to or even reading this forum? And his pal Chrysis... what's his plan? They've clearly stated they don't want to play this game but why bother post on the games forum?

I really hope you could stay in the WoW-forum, it's your game. And Chrysis... please contribute to Tabula Rasa, it seems to be more like your cup of tea.

 

My agenda?  I just enjoy the debate.   Can we go through some questions?

1.  Did elders, the day before launch have an NDA on endgame content?   Yes
2.  Do lots of people on this forum and the others complain about everyone being in scenarios and not enough people doing RvR?   Yes
3.  Do lots of people show concern about population imbalances?  Yes
4.  Out of all the city seiges that have taken place.. have any of them worked?  No
5. Less than a month after launch, are there players asking for server mergers? Yes

And I don't recall what exact question you asked about the top 100 games sales.  The point remains that Warhammer has fallen out of the top 100 total games sales.  You can say " but only count PC games, don't count preorders and don't count games that begin with letter S"..but the fact remains...  Animal Crossing: City Folks sold more boxes than warhammer did last week.   Let's log into warhammer and count how many servers right now are at low/low and low/medium.. shall we?

Server populations have steadily decreased since launch.  Box sales are now in the Animal Crossing range and we haven't even hitten the first renewal date.

But really, the only reason I'm posting here is because for the past 30 mins, I've been trying to open my ingame mail  :)

1) NDA was lifted, several people already told you, discussion closed.
 

2) Not everyone complains about the scenario grinding, nor does this forum have any grasp on the overall player base.

3) Population imbalances seem to be aparant in most players that refuse to leave their pairing or try to discover other areas.

4) Cannot Comment on city sieges, have not been apart of one yet. (if there is a problem I hope and beleive Mythic will fix it)

5) The same players that are asking for server mergers are the same ones that dont bother trying to find other PQ's or open rvr areas in other pairings.

*POINT* Mythic is doing hotfixes, client updates every other day, this to me shows that they really care about the game and are trying to update/fix the issues.  You have posted bashing this game for a long time now, you want to debat? Fine I love a good debate..I however do not enjoy a person trying to seriously injure a player base with selfish prattle because the game is not WoW.  Your post history praises WoW all the time.  I honestly think your just worried of the players leaving your beloved game.  Get over it.

1.  The NDA was only lifted for  1-20 gameplay.  The closed beta testers (elders) were not allowed to post about 21-40 gameplay
 

Do you have any proof of this? If so please post a link, or something. Otherwise your asking me to beleive you based on nothing other then your post.
