    Boo hiss, they disabled /count so you can't see the Destruction:Order population breakdown. Also, noobs need to learn to queue for scenarios. Click the WAR button on the top left of the minimap.

    You know, I'm a bit disappointed that they still haven't patched beyond 3.3. I thought for sure that we'd see some improvements for the preview.

    Really? Considering the CTD problem that popped up in 3.2, I'm not surprised at all. They have what they know is a stable client. They're adding 50K users. I'd stick with the stable client.

    3.4 should hit early next week.

    It just seems like we've been stuck with 3.3 for eons, compared to the other patches. And 3.3. still has that fucking alt-tab issue.

    So what is this stuff about an open beta, is it actually going to be open or do I have to preorder to get in or somthing?

    You have to pre-order. No way that I know of to get into it other than pre-ordering. In fact, I am not even sure if current closed beta folk are going to be in it. I would assume so.

    Closed beta people are automatically in the open beta. We also are first in line for the space shuttle that leaves earth just before that comet hits. A shuttle that is limited to 50,000 people.

    We also get to sleep with all hot celebrities and get yachts!
    Fuck the NDA, I'm telling them everything!

    Closed beta people will be in both the Preview Weekend and Open Beta (on the 7th).

    Launch too. :D

    I wouldn't be shocked. Open beta is only up to level 20 also, correct?

    It may be more viable to do so at first, but by the end of the day I want to see the Mouths proper up and running. I'd also like to see if we can play with some of the alliance stuff by the end of the weekend (assuming we can level the guilds to that point).

    Whaaaaaaat?

    I only just preordered and downloaded last night, after installing I decided for giggles to try entering a server.


    I am currently standing around the Empire starting zone for Skull Throne thoroughly confused...

    I don't know if we'd be able to get our tag up to alliance level by the end of the weekend since we're a much smaller guild


    and im at work of course so my ability to coordinate anything is minimal

    Dunno what server. I'm going to play a warrior priest this weekend. So yes, order. :)

    As for the FAQ thread: If you have any more burning questions ask them now because we'll probably wrap this thread up soon and link it from the main WAR OP as a resource.

    I'll probably ditch out on playing this weekend since I rented Too Human and it is surprisingly addictive. Is this new, big ass serve list the official names for launch? As awesome as the name Skull Throne is I tremble at the thought of the kind of douchebags (who don't know WAR lore) who pick that server name to play on. I've always found the "gayest" server names have the best player base because they aren't as populated by meat heads.

    EDIT: It seems my friend lied when he said there was a big ass list of servers? I haven't logged on since I'm at work.

    I didn't know what to make either, so I just went with a Chosen. I was going to do Marauder but I'd heard they weren't very good right now. Maybe they'll be beefed up for launch and then I'll play one.

    Of course I didn't actually get to play my Chosen since I only had time to get in and reserve my name before heading off to work, so I don't know if I'll like it yet.

    Oh motherfucker

    I KNEW I shouldn't have been fooling around with Order classes. I KNEW they would just lead me astray from the light of Tzeentch.

    But the Witch Hunter is so incredibly awesome, and the Order community is so well organized, and its so nice to actually win Nordenwatch 100% of the time...

    I played a Zealot first. I think I'll probably run that in live, as it seems to be slower, but still fun. I'm playing Witch Hunter right now, though, because I was hooked from the first concept art I saw of it.

    Also, I've done this PQ 4 times and havent rolled higher than 7th. Really annoying.
