Free Trials: People with active subscriptions have a few free trials they can e-mail to a friend. If that friend ends up buying Warhammer after their trial the player who sent them a trial gets a free month.

Adding this by request, and because it's generally kickass and useful.
Alright since this seems to bring up a lot of questions I have compiled an FAQ and location guide for the first two tiers of Renown gear.
Renown Gear and You: What is it and where do I get it?
"Renown Gear" is armor and weapons you can buy from certain vendors that has both a level and Renown rank requirement, usually the Renown rank requirement is about 2/3rds of your actual level (so it would take level 9 and Renown rank 6 for example). Also, as of September 7th, some T2 Renown gear has the wrong stats (the Magus at least) and this will presumably be fixed in the future (hopefully soon). The 10/6 gear from the last preview weekend is gone, it was intended for use in an old test phase and was left in accidentally. Similar gear is available now from 11/7 to 16/11
Where to get it:
The first number refers to level requirement, the second is Renown rank requirement (i.e. 11/7 means you need level 11 and Renown rank 7). The "sets" aren't really sets and don't have bonuses or anything but they represent a loose tiering of gear. Common is "white" gear, Uncommon is "green" gear.
T1 Zones
the first "set" is sold in both the starter quest hub area and the Warcamp, while the second set is sold only at the Warcamp.
First "set"
2/1: Boots (Common)
3/2: Gloves and Accessory 1 (Common)
4/2: Belt, Accessory 2 and Weapon/Shield (Common)

Oh no, wait. That didn't happen because it's retarded.

(And I shouldn't have said what I said, btw re banning, and retract it. I was grumpy from lack of afternoon coffee and not thinking things through.)
Although I totally stand by my stay the fuck out of higher level zones anyway comment.
Oh and that reminds me.
The Dok sacrifice tree changes are fucking MASSIVE.
Previously, the heal on hit passive buff was doing 50 base, now 70. The consume essence was not changed in base damage, but now heals for 100% of damage instead of 50%, and with points in sacrifice tree it goes up so much more. In fact, with the points I have now, it's the same ap, soul essence and damage as the torture attack. Except it also heals on hit.
And the points boosted the passive heal on hit to 100. !
So I threw the torture one off my toolbar with this build.
Fuuuuuck
"[WAR] I wish I could CHAT you to death!"
you know the one.
Str or toughness?
Or do you mean both? :P
Seriously though, fuck IBs.
no no no.
the aura that makes all abilites gain .5 build time.
seriously. so damn annoying.
Indeed!
Are you joking me.
Chosen get an aura like that?
I'm making one, fuck all the rest of the classes.
Are you for serious? As a Chosen I've always looked at that skill as a tiny annoyance at best.
It's a cast bar. I don't quite remember if moving breaks it though.
so yeah, as an ironbreaker, it is not fun. i like my instant casts.
People totally underestimate the button mashing the goes on in large RvR. That half-second is huge when there's tons of people around going all out.
edit: Also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't stack...
[edit] Also, don't ignore the lag. The delay is effectively 0.5s+latency.
I never knew chosen could keep up 3 curses at once.
Two is completely effortless too.
I'm so getting that skill. It doesn't just work for melee.
It makes healer instant casts not.
Speaking as a dok this is a fucking bitch.
Chosen can never stack the same aura. If two Chosen have the same aura up, only the more powerful version (ie the one on the higher level Chosen) will be in effect.

I can't wait till I get 'Power from the Gods'.
[edit] Totally worth it.
They just had a new episode come out on the 29th after having some ftp problems (or something).
Edit: Also, new WARP podcast out today. "Lava Golfing for Tor Anroc"
Just send them to the Capital city, and have them walk out the exit of the city instead of taking a flight path.
That will drop them into the Fortress zone.

Hell, I'd wager that for the majority of T3 it would be like gnats on a large animal that is used to gnats.
I remember riding to one T4 zone @ rank ~28 and practically being one-shotted by everything in red.
You were causing lag.
Well done lag causer.
Shun the lag causer.
Shuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnn.
We successfully defended the keep lord and the zone didn't crash so...
Either way, I'm happy
The shunned one got lucky!
Listen not to his foul lies!
Being totally serious:
Your amazing ingeniousness and willingness to sit there and res people aside, and make no mistake I find this a worthwhile personal attribute to have, that's just something that a proper fix would have to sacrifice for better lag free in all situations, not just one you got lucky in.
Okay.
Yes you did well. No it's not good enough.
Having hundreds of dudes on each side seems to be what this game was made for.
Seriously, it was like "Ooo, squishy idiot in a dress!" And the entire order side goes "Oh shits!" and freaks out. I didn't have my snare (I queued up immediately upon first logon) so I couldn't chase him down as well as I would have liked, but, man, that was fun.
