    also is there a candymancer ventrillo server?

    Members of the guild and forums would know things like this.

    Do we have a Vent server? I was not informed of this. Maybe I should actually register at the Candymancer forums :P

    CE Headstart is officially Sept 14th, 7am EST.

    SE Headstart is officially Sept 16th, 7am EST.

    Is this true, if so where do people who ordered it off D2D fall, this is some fucking bullshit if I have to wait behind everybody else because they didn't make this very well known ahead of time.

    Edit: yea I am not seeing this head start date difference listed on their site.

    I had heard headstart for SE was 15th. Where did you get this info?

    Me is a sad panda if this is true.

    Collector's Edition pre-order customers will be granted Head Start access on September 14th at 7am EDT. Characters created in the Head Start program will carry over when the servers officially go live on the Day of Reckoning - September 18th.

    Did you get the head start codes from D2D? Did you input them into your account management page? Then you should be fine. Also - you can easily see if you're eligible, check your account management page. Same prompt that shows you that you're open beta eligible, and pre-order items elligible.

    Does anyone know if it is still possible to get an open beta key for pre-ordering at this point? Or should I just plan on waiting until the 18th? I'll be avoiding amazon and will likely stick to either eb games/gamestop or Best Buy, but those sites havn't been helpful for this information.

    2 days ago I went to target and bought a box for 1$ (there are racks full of them), entered the code, and i'm firing the game up right now.


    Excellent! There's a target like 2 blocks from my house, I'll check them out. Thanks for the heads up!

    Also, I'm slightly disappointed that the SE HS is the 16th instead of the 15th, because I can't really miss my Tuesday class. So long as I get my usual MMORPG names though, I won't really care.

    Wow, I was only expecting CE's to get a single day headstart, not two. Looks like I'll be waking up early on the 14th. :) I predict much bitching from regular pre-order people.

    Hey! Proven right before i even finished my post! Go me.

    Collector's Editions were only available for pre-order through brick stores and sold out in NA months and months and months ago. CE's are essentially for the Mythic faithful who also don't mind spending $80 for a bunch of extra stuff like an art book and Warhammer figure.

    Oh yea I am entered in the head start I just didn't realize the Collectors edition allowed those people to start even earlier, probably doesn't matter since I am sure it has been sold out for a while.

    Yeah, apparently Mythic talked Games Workshop into producing a one-of figurine for the CE, and that's they only way to get it, so some table top folks went nutty about it.

    dunno which server the goons are gonna be on, but I'm gonna be avoiding that one

    what are the functional differences between Black Orc and Chosen? I mean, I know about the aura-weaving vs. stance mechanics, but is one clearly more damage or tanking oriented than the other?

    I wouldn't count one the goons making a single big guild, there already are splinter groups splitting off and the game hasn't even launched yet.

    Sorry if this has come up already but this thread moves pretty fast...
    Anyways I finished DLing the beta client this morning, and put in my CE beta code thing to the european site this afternoon (about half 2pm). No confirmation email yet (8:10pm). How long is it likely to take? Just wondering if I misstyped something and if it's worth trying to enter it again.

    People have said to simply click on "Re-Send" and it will resend.
    Swordmasters suck as tanks even if their mechanics function just fine dandy but they just dont look like proper tanks.

    Only way I can tell a Swordmaster from the other two classes is if one is running up on me, solo. Otherwise I just assume its an Archmage or a White Lion.

    Uhh.. what resend? I don't see any re-send buttons on the page.
