One doesn't *always* wish to eat poultry when helping young siblings with homework or other such activities. You would never be able to offer assistance to your young charges without having to stuff your face full of chicken.
Much discussion of poultry will happen before too long.
What'd they leave out? Is there an official and final ruleset list now? Where?
There are going to be 3 types at launch - Core, RP, and Open. RP is like Core, just with enforced thee's and thou's. Open isn't very open at all. While you can fight in the PvE areas, if you are lv 21 (3rd tier) and you choose to go back and help your level 20 friend (2nd tier) from being obliterated by 2 attackers, you'll turn into a chicken. The End. Now that -might- get tweaked, but no tweaking of this has been suggested from what I'm reading so far. Of course there is plenty of time for this to change.
EDIT here's also some other stuff that seems to go counter to an Open RvR mechanic, but I'm not comfortable going much further into the specifics.
Doesn't MBJ go into more detail on an older WA thread?

This game looks like it could be pretty good, the whole 20 classes thing and none of them being directly shared across factions is a neat change coming from WoW. I'm most interested in the magus, mostly cause being stuck to a flying disc seems kinda cool to me.
I just wish they would let me into the beta so I could get rid of the whole "party down the street and I'm not invited" feeling, like someone was talking about earlier.
Hey as long as you're rolling, when you're done with that, could you help me roll over my 401(k)?
from a pre-existing 401k or into a roth?
My understanding was that I couldn't roll a 401k into a Roth without the penalties outweighing the benefits?
It really depends on how much you already have invested, where you have it invested and what kind of tax implications you would have for moving it. I have my retirement split into both a roth and a regular 401k (with more of it going to the regular) so if I ever have a life-crisis I can take it out from the roth at will without being fucked over by the IRS.

I have a feeling you're a bit older than I am, I've invested practically nothing in my regular IRA at this point because I'm almost certain to get taxed on it at a higher rate later on. Right now I'm on a "buy and hold" strategy with some mutual funds because current market fundamentals don't respect intrinsic value; about 10% of my assets are in my Roth IRA, 35% are in regular mutual funds, 25% is in bond funds, and the remaining 30% is in either money markets or CDs--this last bit is the lump I keep around in case of a rainy day so I don't need to worry about market fluctations. Also, my broker insured the money market funds, and the CDs are FDIC insured. The interest and dividends get reinvested back into the down market in anticipation for it being "up" again in the next few years.

I don't know if you noticed, but this thread is now 99 pages long and about basically nothing. It's lived a good, long life. Let's throw it an Irish Wake so we can start a new one when the NDA gets lifted and open beta starts. Where are the beer guys?

I'd guess we're in the calm before the storm right now.

I take it back, you're actually several years younger than me. I work for a non-profit right now so my annual earning potential is far below where it's going to be when I get back into the private sector. It thus makes more sense for me to eat the taxes now and invest in the Roth so I can get get it out tax-free later. And since I want to buy a hosue when the market bottoms out on that later I'm trying to keep a fair chunk available for use within the next year.
i'd go on about the ability to deduct without tax penalty for buying a house etc but you probably already know that
Yeah but between the down market and my non-profit earnings being lower than my private-sector earning potential, I'd rather pour money into it for the time being and let it explode when the economy starts growing again. I have enough set aside that I can probably afford to wait it out. Much like a Dwarf waiting with his stuntie bretheren as the Orkz feebly hurl themselves at his gates.

HAPPY OATWAY?!
Says right here that the economy grew 3.3% last quarter.
So before the thread dies, what is this RvR stuff I keep hearing about?
Think integrated PvP, PvE, items, quests, cities, and the ability to attack 15th century Germans with a tiny green goblin who speaks with a Cockney accent.

Okay. If you'd like to use a source other than Wikipedia, I recommend the Bureau of Economic Analysis, a subdivision of the United States Department of Commerce.
Um, waaaagh.
edit: it's occured to me that you may have meant the Current Dollar GDP grew by 3.2%. Which is true. "Current Dollar GDP" is a nice way of saying "we didn't adjust for inflation so this number is essentially meaningless."

Those would be the 1st Quarter results. Last quarter was 2nd quarter. Quarter means 1/4 of the year, or every 3 months. Wikipedia says so.
Although that would be an interesting game, I think Mr. Sushi has already purchased the rights to it.
That or someone else in his multinational media empire.

- Money Laundering is now a shared ability for all greenskins!
- PQ's will be converted into class action lawsuits.
- Abbacus will be the Tier 1 weapon of choice. Tier 2 will be a pocket calculator!
- Dwarves will provide a steady backbone for the economy with their gold!
- Dark Elves will wear flashy business suits!

Now, see, if Orc accountants argued, this is what they would sound like.

What is going on here?
More WAR. Less financial counseling.

I just happen to work somewhere that does that kind of stuff.

Your mind truly has been forfeited to the Gods of Chaos.
What've I done? ><
I guess this is why they don't let jews into betas.
Funny place to learn some of this stuff, though.
And they said u didnt learn shit from video games. hah.
They certainly don't teach people good grammar.
Quit judging us, Goldberg. :P
So who is going to play an engineer? I am tempted oh so tempted.
Who wants to share a beta key with me?
Also, confirm/deny
Some schlub in AOC told me his friend was in the WAR beta and said, "They took out half the content and what is left is bugged to hell"
Anyone confirm or deny? Is war going to be another AOC heartbreak?
