Not sure who he means by "they"... but click this --> :...:
I think I might hold off then if it's most likely only going to be a few days.

Oh man hilarious.. my buddy Pre-ordered the CE from EB like 2 months ago. They called him yesterday to pick up his shit.... he entered it today... it's all SE codes.
And to see if you got fucked as well, does your account centre say CE Head Start or just Head Start?
On Monday, you'll be able to download the client via a solution that is, quite frankly, better than what we are currently using. Given the concern/issues with the current Torrent setup, I can't imagine any reasonable person being disappointed with what we are going to do next week. However, in order to get that set up properly, we weren't able to offer it today. I'm sorry for the delay but I know that you'll like what we are doing on Monday better than what we would have been able to do today. And no, it won't cost anything as per my recent post on this subject.

This is why companies have Betas. To find what works, and what doesn't.
Torrent = bad. So apparently they're doing something different on the 18th.
It sounds like they wanted to offer the download today, but after the craziness with the multi-day torrent download, they figured they needed to do something else.
Hey so, I keep forgetting to check when I get home since I'm house sitting, and most game related sites are blocked here at work.
Whats the deal with the red alert 3 item. Is it something you get with preorder, preorder of the special edition, or just something you get when you buy the regular game.
Fuck Age of Conan, seriously. I got an email from funcom saying some shit about a 7 day free trial and the email came with a reg key. So I click the link and read;
Get ready for Age of Conan, the most savage, sexy and brutal MMO ever created!
This offer is for the Age of Conan USA Trial Version.
Registering this product will immediately create and activate your Age of Conan account.
Once the 7 day trial is completed you must purchase the full retail version of the game.
Seriously, WTF?!! *EDIT* The sign up forces you to select a subscription plan.
What's all this rabble about voting on guild names? Is it for the opposite side that The Six Mouths is on or something? Is TSM still going to be Destruction?
It's about an Order guild on a separate server.

I like the name, can you cite the Penny Arcade source?
Edit: Or is it just a name you came up with?
Edit edit: Play on Unbearable lightness of being, D'oh!
This has GOT to be the Destruction alt guild name....
Slann are the Lizardmen ancients, though, and they're... goodish. In the, "Infinitely powerful, ancient, and uncaring about all the lesser races, seriously, we could blast all of you into oblivion if a few of us would just wake our asses up" way.
One of my favorite bits of lore is that the High Elves have an outpost off Lustria, and actually patrol the ocean just off the coastline to try to keep the Empire/Chaos off the continent. Basically because the High Elves are the only ones aware of the fact that all of the Slann waking up would mean absolute doom for all of the races except the lizardmen.
The Slann wouldn't wipe everyone out unless the plans of the Old Ones said so. Which would be weird, 'cause the Old Ones put a lot of effort into making and teaching all the other races.
It's not like they dislike Chaos either; Chaos and all its spawn just aren't part of the plan.
I guess there is always the possiblity the Old Ones said something like "The year 2600 IC: Reset".

I laughed at this harder than I probably should have. "Year 2600: put your scepters down and hand your world in. Any servitors seen continuing work on their world will automatically receive a failing grade."

I know this is a bit off topic (kind of), but what is a good book series to start from if I want to learn more lore of Warhammer? It sounds very awesome.

Actually, the core rulebook for the tabletop game has a great jumping point for getting to know the lore.
They aren't really *that* powerful, all the strongest ones are long dead.
Yeah and some of those mummified dead ones still blow things up.
IIRC Lord Kroak got owned in the old "character battle" thing they did in White Dwarf. Either by Archaon or Grandmaster Sknitch, don't remember which.
See though, I think no matter how you cut it, a victory against a mummified frog is still a loss by virtue of the fact that you had to expend actual effort to kill a mummified frog.

Are we sure that's the same client as the one Open Beta will use?
AOC beta had like 3 fucking clients.... morons at Funcom.
I sort of assumed it would be, hopefully so since it's 10 gig worth.
Edit: Oh.. it's from here: http://www.warhammeronline.com/preorder/
Official Open Beta download date: Aug 18th
I think I might hold off then if it's most likely only going to be a few days.
And to see if you got fucked as well, does your account centre say CE Head Start or just Head Start?
Then why did it accept them? They better not be invalid now :P

I need this item.

No idea what the item is yet, Robot.
The Unbearable Beings of Light
Any version of the game contains the code. That's the release I read.

Says the item is available to standard editions... all the other RA3 shit is premium only

THIS is the winning answer!

Agreed, this is awesome!

Being dead hasn't stopped some of them from still doing things.
