1: GOA Suck! Good at running the actual servers and patching but terrible at everything else (building a website, getting thier ar*e in gear, providing updates to customers, deploying databases etc).
2: Public Quests rock as do Scenarios.
3: Witch Hunters really are a glass cannon!
4: White Lions aren't for those who can only concentrate on one thing at once (ahem
ops: )
5: Questing is very good - everything I'd read said not to expect WoW quality but I think it's pretty much even.
6: Empire starting zone seems the best of the Order - burning windmill gave me goose bumps when I first saw it.
7: Providing just the right "hook" for my play style/time constraints. Yes, it's the first thing I want to do when I get home from work BUT I can also put it down when I need to do something else - i.e. work on the car for example.
8: You can duck in and out of it if you only have 20 mins to spare - scenarios are a very valid way to level and you have fun pvp'ing at the same time.
9: Order seems to have a mature player base - very little nonsense in public chat channels so far.
10: PVP - yes, there is the zerg BUT in a close nit group you have the ability to be very creative. I have found as a WH I can really turn the tide of battle by taking down healers from the flanks whilst my warband charge head on in. Ok, so I normally die instantly after that first kill but it's satisfying to see the opposing side crumble because of my "tactical strike"

Seriously, I would like to see all the people that said the graphics in this game are rubbish and looks like wow, Honestly, Did you even play the game before saying that? Infact i would go out on a limb and say this game looks better than age of conan. Only because the zones looked some damn boring.
Look at dienamite's screenshots, How does that looks like wow?
**edit**
And this isnt even max settings! (altho i doubt it will get that much better, Only in the distance etc)

Not to sure about the patching part. US are 2 patches ahead of us. Other MMO's such as wow, patch everyone at the same time. But yes, GOA suck.
Are you sure they are 2 patches ahead of us? We're on 4.1.0 and up until this morning the US were on 4.1.0 too. Today the US are supposed to be getting the 4.1.1 patch (the one listed above), although apparently there has been some issues with it. So I am guessing the EU will get the 4.1.1 patch either this evening or tomorrow.
hmmm, i may be wrong on that one then.
They'll be at the same level for launch, but after that you'll probably find we're about a month behind with patches. It was always that way with DaoC, GOA would take an age to localise each patch for language, rather than just patching the English speaking servers and then getting on with translating the foreign 
No, they disabled that while everyone registered their accounts and codes.
I think this has yet to be proved, only when loads of people are playing will we know how well the servers cope.

Problem with this is that a lot of the other language servers would be extremely annoyed with the English servers faster patches, which would lead to them either quiting, or worse migrating to the English servers and taking over spamming their own language in the chat channels.
I havent played War so yes im going from screenshots, but to say it looks better than conan is mental. Conan is way beyond whats being shown on WAR. Lord of the Rings Online is leagues ahead in that respect too.
but graphics arent important. Theres a chance that WAR can look stunning, i think the use of colour and some areas in WoW are stunning, not technically, but very pleasing on the eye.
Ok, well i clicked code, entered in my details, it said "Your code activation request has been registered"
I try and enter the details into the patcher and it says "authentication failed please re enter credentials."
At this stage I was about to say, "I'm not seeing the problem here
"But yeah, you're probably right. Russian CAPS spam in TR is getting everyone annoyed at the moment.
Did you get an email back when you registered the account? (the one whose details you entered on the code page)
sorry i should have made that clearer. Design wise war looks better imo than conan, Not engine wise.
Think i might have found the problem, but this War Europe site is a complete pos! Doesn't work with firefox 3 well at all. Having to use crappy IE 32bit.
It certainly is a crappily constructed site. You might also have a little delay between validating your key and it working for you to login, last time I used one of my OB keys for a guildie there was a delay
