Open doesnt start till sunday the 7th, give it atleast till Thurs before buying a digital version imo. I was going to go down the same route but then i realized that all i would be doing it for is to learn about the classes but i already know about them from Vids and guides. So i would rather the 'newness' feel of the game to be a one time experience with the classes i will roll and not doing them again on release.

Then i was thinking i want the game for the headstart but then i thought that just implies its a race, why do i want to rush something ? This is a game i want to be playing for years to come, whats the big deal of a few days :P . So if we are not able to preorder a boxed version of the game with the headstart, hey there will be plenty in the shops come launch day.

Soz about the whaffle, just thought id share my slightly different slant on how things stand :)

Its a fair comment tbh mate. I dont really worry i preordered my CE edition ages ago so i get all the random tat anyways :)
I hardly ever buy CE editions of anything, but since it was Warhammer i really had my eye on that art book :p really like the warhammer art been a fan of it for years !
 
Ye i still want a CE version, looking to pick one up cheap 2nd hand at some stage in the future. Want it mainly for the Comic :P , will be looking in HMV on the 18th as i have a small feeling that with the hash they have made with the CE preorders that some will be on the shelfs.

Same, i want to Early start though so i preordered it with the 3 day early access. I cannot be bothered with a poxy beta as i will have to reroll again when the game comes. If it were early access on the 7th then it might have been a differant story.
 
For me the week of beta will be so that I can get to play each class and see how they play before I commit to one. It will also let me get to grips with gameplay mechanics and zones etc.
 
i want to play the beta so in a few years i can say "Oh you know in the good old days of the beta i already played!" :p

jk mainly to test out which classes i'll play because being an hardcore casual i will only play 2 chars at best i guess will see

hehe a beta snob :p

Gonna use OB to test out the different classes. Witch hunter, White Lion, Engineer, Archmage... I can't decide although probably leaning towards WH atm.
 
I just noticed end of this week im right muddled with games to play Spore is out on the 5th and WAR will be playable on the 7th :(
God dammit
 
Nope ordered from there so i could get a key for a mate, they haven't taken any money yet and its been 4 or 5 days.
should have went with d2d:(
 
Man, I am really looking forward to this game now. I just ordered mine from D2D and got my key instantly.

I'm sure that those of you who ordered from EA will get it sent to you on time.
 
Tbh my guess is EA will send the keys when you actually need them. By that i mean once there is a sign up of the WAR website to register these codes
 
Tbh i think GOA have done a fairly good job so far. I guess only time will tell when it comes to retail time but still.
 
Played on the GOA DaoC servers for a while, and ended up going back to the US ones. I got constant lag spikes on the GOA servers, it made the game unplayable :(
 
While that might have been true for DaoC. You have to remember that they have moved offices, now based in ireland rather than france. But im sure they will have learnt from there mistakes in DaoC.
 
Tempted to go D2D for this one. Bit worried about my system specs though, it struggles with Age of Conan. How do you think I'll do with:

A64 4000+ @ 3180mhz
X1900XT 512mb @ 702/810
2GB ram

I'm pretty lazy when it comes to upgrading.

Yes! Living 15 miles outside Dublin. I half suspect they'll still manage to give me a 300ms ping, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for the moment :D
