Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

That should be all we need in way of introduction, at this point.

Alright since this seems to bring up a lot of questions I have compiled an FAQ and location guide for the first two tiers of Renown gear.
Renown Gear and You: What is it and where do I get it?
"Renown Gear" is armor and weapons you can buy from certain vendors that has both a level and Renown rank requirement, usually the Renown rank requirement is about 2/3rds of your actual level (so it would take level 9 and Renown rank 6 for example). Also, as of September 7th, some T2 Renown gear has the wrong stats (the Magus at least) and this will presumably be fixed in the future (hopefully soon). The 10/6 gear from the last preview weekend is gone, it was intended for use in an old test phase and was left in accidentally. Similar gear is available now from 11/7 to 16/11
Where to get it:
The first number refers to level requirement, the second is Renown rank requirement (i.e. 11/7 means you need level 11 and Renown rank 7). The "sets" aren't really sets and don't have bonuses or anything but they represent a loose tiering of gear. Common is "white" gear, Uncommon is "green" gear.
T1 Zones
the first "set" is sold in both the starter quest hub area and the Warcamp, while the second set is sold only at the Warcamp.
First "set"
2/1: Boots (Common)
3/2: Gloves and Accessory 1 (Common)
4/2: Belt, Accessory 2 and Weapon/Shield (Common)
5/3: Body and Accessory 3 (Common)
Second "set"
6/4: Boots (Uncommon)
7/4: Gloves and Accessory 1 (Uncommon)
8/5: Belt, Accessory 2 and Weapon/Shield (Uncommon)
9/6: Body and Accessory 3 (Uncommon)
T2 Zones
bought at the top floor of PvP area Keeps.
First "set"
11/7: Boots (Uncommon)
12/8: Gloves and Belt (Uncommon)
13/9: Shoulders and Accessory 1 (Uncommon)
14/9: Body, Accessory 2 and Weapon/Shield (Uncommon)
15/10: Accessory 3 (Uncommon)
16/11: Helm (Common)
Second "set"
16/11: Boots (Uncommon)
17/11: Gloves and Belt(Uncommon)
18/12: Shoulder and Accessory 1(Uncommon)
19/13: Helm, Accessory 2 and Weapon/Shield (Uncommon)
20/14: Body and Accessory 3 (Uncommon)
21/14: Cloak (Common)
Server List and Rulesets For Launch
James Nichols | From the Dev Team | 09/11/2008 @ 04:14:00 EST
WAAAGH!!!
Servers, servers - get'ya servers! Below you will find the server names we anticipate being available at Launch. These will begin going live Sunday, September 14th with the Collector’s Edition Head Start and will continue to roll out leading up to Launch on September 18th.
Players will be able to choose from four server types: Core, Open RvR, Roleplay, and a hybrid Roleplay/Open RvR ruleset. We will continue to open up servers supporting different server types as the need arises.
Core Ruleset
Core servers are just what you’d expect. These are servers that have everything Warhammer has to offer, with no special changes to the normal ruleset. RvR is confined to lakes and Scenarios, and there are two opposing realms engaged in the WAR. Players may only engage in Player vs. Player combat when flagged to do so in specific areas around the world. Select a Core ruleset server for the original exciting gameplay experience that WAR was designed to offer.
Open RvR Ruleset
The Open RvR servers feature RvR flagging everywhere except for the Tier 1 Chapter area and the surrounding PvE content. Once players leave this area, they will be flagged for RvR anywhere in the game. Open RvR servers are perfect for those who want to add an extra challenge to their gaming experience. Players must constantly watch their backs or risk attack by enemies everywhere they go! Only members of opposing realms may attack each other; the Open RvR server still focuses on Order versus Destruction.
Rules:
- Players are always RvR flagged from the moment they log in
- Chapter 1 hubs and capital cities are safe
- There is no bolster buff in RvR lakes
- Players will be chickened when entering an area that is two tiers below their level (ex. A Tier 3 player entering a Tier 1 area.)
Roleplay and Roleplay/Open RvR
Any server flagged as Roleplay will follow the same rules as above, but with an additional set of guidelines. These servers are for those players who enjoy truly immersing themselves into the Warhammer lore by acting as their characters’ personalities in-game. Players who opt to participate on a Role Playing server must agree to far more specific rules regarding naming, and it is suggested that players would adhere to WAR or high fantasy conduct and behavior.

Ed & Larry : "Doesn't matter."
I recently was gifted a thing in Steam. If it was from you, thank you very much!
maaan
they really put female marauder NPC's in the game?
I hope that's a good sign they'll be playable eventually, and not a big middle finger aimed at you.
o_O
I don't understand why you're being so harsh.
they just look sooo much better than the male version
I'm not really, its kind of silly people wanting to have armies of female marauders running around in a warhammer game. I'm not going to care if they end up adding them.
there are plenty of female warriors in warhammer, and I hope I don't have to point that out
really, considering how the norsemen societies seem to be so engulfed in the chaos gods, I find it really odd that the females are all absent from the battlefield
The biggest issue I see in the long run is not being able to find people to group with in the various tiers depending on other people's progression---especially once a significant portion of the playerbase gets to level cap.
I don't want armies of anything.
I'm not interested in playing a marauder anyhow, personally, so it's no skin off my back.
Chosen, on the other hand...
Half the dwarfs my black orc is massacring in the beta are chicks. :lol:
I think a Chaos Marauder unit that could count as having Great Weapons or Hand Weapon and Shield or whatever like a 40K Obliterator would be pretty cool, myself.
There's a rumor of super-mutatey Marauder-like troops in the new Warrior book.
Stunties iz stunties, da only gud'un iz a dead'un.
that's a deamonette though
slaanesh demon
which means its probably a dude
You know, i'm not sure which is better, the old boob-tastic TT deamonettes, or that kickass Nina one.
EDIT: To have a better top than just boobies, this game is amazing, buy, steal, kill, whatever, go get it.
There are other daemonette models they could have gone with, their overall look has changed every time GW has released new models, but it's a daemonette alright. Note the single breast, Slaaneshi symbol, and giant claw arms.
Nah, it's probably a hermaphrodite.
No, nobody's playing there because the chicken mechanic prevents you from ever going back to the lowbie areas for PvE unlocks. There's no need for it anyway, there's no shortage of RvR in this game and it really wasn't designed for solo PvP in the first place.
oh come now. Such terms are meaningless to a true devotee to the Dark Prince.
Is the open beta for pre-orders only WITH a code?
Anyways, game's not even out and I"m already excited about future content involving either skaven, slaanesh, or nurgle playable characters.
You can try Fileplanet, some of the sites giving away codes, or Direct2Drive.
The only reason to knock yourself out trying to get a code is for the Head Start. They will probably take the open beta servers down fairly soon to get ready for release. It is only a few days until the Head Start begins.
hey I found the intro to the old Warhammer Online
Oh and I saw a video of a dwarf fighting skeletons and all I have to say is
jesus christ I'm glad they fucking scrapped it
Zzulu is quick on the draw.
