    itt morkirrar proves how much of a nerd he is

    also I want to see a game that takes battlefield heroes and combines it with the 40k universe. have the character editor look like a mini and you paint it and equip it but the mini becomes animated like a normal character when you join the game. there is no way this couldn't be awesome

    Warhammer is very un-fantastical. The average human settlement is straight out of the 16th century, complete with rat catchers and smelly peasants.

    High elves have seemed quite out of place for some time now.

    They're going full circle back to the roots in the recent books. That is to say, high elves are going Moorcock these days.

    I'd totally want a warhammer fantasy army that is full of empire cannons and galloper guns and hordes of militia fodder. I have no idea how fantasy army creating works though, just 40k.

    also I don't think anyone here plays fantasy

    Because its boring. Either you win by destroying their army at a distance, or they win by reaching you.

    Also, I used to play Warhammer. No longer do because of absurd price hikes and GW's policy of no longer selling bitz for conversions.

    are there fights that involve winning or losing without the two ever touching each other then? is that like, peaceful negotiations?

    I can't get in with my CE account and I can't figure out why.

    The only username I appear to have has my e-mail attached to it. I know I'm missing something stupidly easy, like creating an actual game account. Point me in the right direction!

    Unless, for some stupid reason, CE accounts can't log in from Elder installs. I can log in as an elder still. :|

    edit: eeeep, logging in as an elder only brings up Deathsword and it is closed. Fuuuuuuuck me, to the beta boards!

    So I figured out the CE thing.

    Is the elder thing the same? I wouldn't care but the friend who actually owns the account wants to start playing it now that we can play together. Do I jsut need to tell him to set up a master account through accounts.eamythic?

    Man what the hell Gamestop.

    They called me in to pick up a preorder bonus for the CE, at first I thought this was my closed key. alas. It's ANOTHER Open Beta key and another Head Start key, I allready have those from when I first preordered. I am confused, also I got a WAR UFS deck (Chaos) but who gives a fuck about that.

    Your Open Beta Key is your Closed Beta Key.

    You put that into your beta centre, it says you have the CE Pre-order association, and Mythic sends out Closed Beta invites. Apparently they're done sending them out though, but there might be one last wave. We'll have to see on that.

    That being said, can I have your second Open Beta key? :P

    Good words. I think we can guess what issue he's talking about, and the reaction we've heard certainly seems to confirm the importance.

    They're just words though, and if they don't have the confidence to lift the NDA within two weeks or so, there are going to be launch problems.

    How many codes are on the paper with the keys? If its only two codes, one for Beta one for Headstart/Items, than yeah, they gave you the wrong one. The CE papers not only say 'Thank you for preordering Warhamer Online: Age of Reckoning Collector's Edition', but also have 3 codes, one for beta, one for head-start, and one for items.

    If they didn't give you the latter, go bitch at them. They got those in before the standard preorder boxes, at least the one here did, so they should have them. At any rate they should have called you then to pick it up.

    Me too. :)

    Are we Order or Destruction, because I'm order but I'm willing to switch if you guys are Destruction.

    I went Destro because it's close enough to retail release that I want to start getting a head start on learning skills with what will be my main class.

    I was playing Order in earlier phases because I didn't want to spoil things, but I can't help myself.

    I'm so torn now. I really want to play Order, and I firmly believe that Destruction will continue to vastly outnumber them when the game goes live. But The Inevitable City is so damn awesome. It'd be worth playing on the overpopulated side if only because I could hang out there while waiting for scenarios.

    The one I just got is the bullshit one you just described. the one I got when I first preordered appears to be the right one, but when I went to add the code at the Accont Center I get "Hurf durf you can't add it yet."
