Gotta admit I dont think im gonna renew my subscription this month.
It just aint interesting me. Ill wait for the patch with the new characters and maybe get back into it then.
I just cant be assed to play half the games out now.
(although i bought warhead yesterday so gonna give that a whirl through
I'm really trying to play this and get along, but I'm CTD every 10 mins or so and I'm just at the point where grouping is neccesary for some quests. Can't find any information on things I haven't tried already and the official site is a joke.
Looks like this is a game I'm going to have to avoid

.Did anyone else decide not to carry on their subscription? I didn't hate the game, just found it pretty unrewarding and shallow. Sure, you get instant access to pvp but it's such shallow, meaningless PVP... And the ridiculously narrow classes totally annoyed me. I've found an axe! Ah, but I can't use it because it's so MASSIVELY different from my hammer 
I'm sure there's a better gaming experience in there waiting to get out but I just couldn't find many reasons to try and find it. Maybe Eve has spoiled me for other mmorpgs...
I know this is asking for "Can I have your stuff"
The answer is yes, if you can figure out how to get it!

Username and password for WAR? (the one you type in everytime you logon to play)
Obv change password to something diffirent before.
I am on karak - azgal as destruction playing with about 15 other RL friends we are all about 24 now and getting kinda bored.
Anything but tor anroc seems like it takes forever to pop, hardly any RvR pvp whenever we are looking for it and the game world, even though it is a popular server just feels so empty.
I think I am going to have one last push at convincing my friends to go back to eltherion? open rvr server before I quit the game. I think I had much more fun looking over my shoulder, having lots of real world PVP and playing as the engineer tbh. We only went to destro on karak azgal due to the fact half of my friends were new to mmorpg's and destro had more classes that everyone was happy to play.
Anyone else in the same boat and thinking about making a similar move or have any useful info if they already have done so?

I've subbed for a few months simply because it's a good laugh when we hop on TS with a few beers and a few of the Godless oldies. How long the fun will last I'm not sure but I'm sticking with it for now.
The latest Nvidia drivers have pretty much sorted my performance issue out.
However, as mentioned above, there remains one burning question regarding this MMO.
Where the hell is everyone? We are on a resonably well populated server and in Altdorf you are lucky if you come across more than three other people, there is often one mid sized group of 8 or so doing a PQ and you do see the odd person out in the wilds but generally it feels like the NPCs are the only people fighting the war?
I know a lot of people just tend to do scenarios but there only seem to ever be members of the same 4 or five guild in scenarios.
And very few people talk when you do come across them. We have enough people in the guild that I already know for this not to be a real problem, I just find it strange.

The answer to that sadly is indeed the scenarios. The great open RvR of beta hasnt materialised at release. The Daoc mentality just hasnt gotten into peoples heads, the large majority are stuck in the WoW mentality of BGs.
Its a real shame, and potentially a game breaker. I had hoped to recapture the glorious golden era of the Pre-WoW MMOs, the Daoc, AC and UO days. Unfortunately it looks like I may have to concede that those days are gone. WoW has been wonderful for the MMO market, and yet at the same time its been detrimental to the MMO market.
I've subscribed to WAR for 3 months, hoping that not only do the devs push the open rvr, but that the players do too. Sadly though, I dont know if the players will, seems that the average MMO player has changed enormously in their wants since the golden days of UO.
When those 3 months are up, if nothing has changed then that will be the end of MMOs for me, back to LAN gaming.
its pretty much the same on most servers, regardless of attempts by mythic to vary the scenarios/ encourage open rvr,
On Karak-Hirn I'd say from T2-T4
Mourkain Temple
Tor Anroc
Serpents Passage
as the most popular on our server, its a shame that with a wide choice of scenarios people seem to only enjoy playing the ones that reap xp/rr fastest even if they are frankly awful in most cases.
On the bright side though it would seem that open rvr seems to be on the rise again in T3 and T4 last night we had plenty of large scale fights - its one of those things that take a few people to kicks things off and continue to do it,
If an RVR zone is empty - people dont even bother looking around, if there are hotspots on keeps and battlefield objective being taken people will slowly become interested again, but certiainly from the entire playerbase that i play with - people are interested in doing open field RVR so much more than queing for scenarios all day sat in a warcamp, it does however rely on player particpation for it to become the main focus rather than scenarios.
If it dosent happen long term then i agree its a game breaker for me - I really wonder how in beta it was so different - maybe with character people knew they werent going to keep maxing out RR as fast as possible wasnt the objective , and maximum fun was.

a lot of people are indeed in the Scenarios, as its the fastest way, outside of powerleveling, of gaining ranks. Once aload of ppl are at at rank40 that will calm down and the ebb and flow of the open rvr will take over.
That's what I'm hoping, I really don't understand the rush to max out a character, especially in WAR, I have to say that I was actually quite reluctant to go from Lvl 21 to level 22 in a way because I'm on a core server and can't really go back.
Open RvR needs greater rewards I think, the fact that you can't capture a keep as you own until your guild is ranked lvl 14 is a shame as well because we took over one as a guild when we were only rank 5 and haven't tried since because no one is interested unless we can reap the benefits. There are probably a few other low ranked guilds that don't feel that it's worth it at the minute and would rapidly run out of cash if they did take one.
Are there high level versions of early scenarios available when you hit 40 or is it a case of never being able to go back to earlier maps?
I'm enjoying the game but taking it slow - it hasn't got me addicted like WOW which is definately a GOOD THING. I play it just like any other game and on one hand I wish I was more into it but on the other is it really good to become addicted to a game?
Totally agree... its almost as if some of these folk enjoy being addicted.
I'm taking it slow as well - taking in the sights and sounds and no rush to get to lvl 40.
And if you have rolled a core server then why would you really expect mass open pvp. Roll on an open rvr server you wussies
plenty of action on mine.

Yup, the reason most of us didn't go open is because we are carebear PVE types, and not hardened killing machines like you ...
