    They're probably still bringing up the rest of the servers.

    Ah, so Abhorash isn't on the list? That could be problematic.

    I am stuck at work for at least another hour, so won't be heading out just yet.

    It's early on the West Coast, so I imagine Morskittar is still asleep :) .

    They're probably just going to bring more servers online as the need arises, but current Abhorash is not on the list.

    The battle begins on the following beta servers:

    Mad Dog Pass
    Barak Varr
    Gorfang
    Kraka Drak
    Blood Keep
    Skull Throne
    Darklands (Oceanic)

    Patch yourselves up and grab your weapon of choice. For the Preview weekend, WAR is on! We'll be updating the Herald throughout the weekend with server news and status, so make sure to check back often. WAAAGH!

    Forget about A server, I guess.

    What we need is a plan...

    Do we have any info from robothero's guild as to where they've started going? As I think the plan was to team up with them or something.

    I can't find the post with the guild name in it, so I forget what they were called.

    ::D:D:D: Wow, it runs well on my computer and I've only got a 1.8ghz (single core!) processor. But my other stuff is above recommended, so whatev.

    Fun, though! Leveling early on is a bit slow for my tastes, but I've been spoiled by WoW's 3x xp thing recently. But me likes.

    I'm trying to fight the temptation to reroll different classes, as is my habit early on in every type of game, but it's not really working.

    So there seems to be a fair amount of buzz about this game. As Age of Conan has recently shown though a game really needs to be up to snuff and have a good release to contend in this new world of MMORPGs.

    From your experience with the game, is it accessible, bug free and polished enough to be a serious contender that won't fizzle out like other MMOs have post World of Warcraft?

    Doh, or not. Decisions, decisions.

    Some folks are on Gorfang, but it looks like the heroic robot's band of merry men went for Skull Throne.

    Hrm.

    I believe the current bugs, animation issues, and less polished bits are minor compared to all the things that are right with the game. Conan had really big issues in a number of important facets of the game, which just killed it, while many smaller details were solid. Warhammer has issues with some smaller details, while the big stuff is solid. There's just a ton of fun stuff to do.

    My two cents, for what it's worth. Forty quatloos on the newcomer.

    Gorfang is already exceeding 1500. Skull Throne has a bit over 1000; still healthy but without as much immediate danger of lag and queues.

    Robot picked well... Sorry to those who hopped on Gorfang, but I think Skull Throne is the way to go.

    I am thinking the same thing. Or at least attempting to sneak out a little earlier. Maybe 3:00 rather than 5:30.

    Conan had really big issues

    Understatement of the year :) .
    AoC also had the post-20 issue of not having any content. WAR's beta testing has focused on all aspects of the game, not just the early bit.


    And it looks like Mouths for the Skull Throne?

    As for population, if things are filling up that fast, it's entirely possible that Mythic will put up the next server in the near future, like the next hour or so.

    But it looks like Skull Throne is the choice, and I'm getting all Twitchy... so I'll be leaving here shortly.
