Also cancelled on Play.com for CJs, if you like them on facebook btw you get another 50p off!

Insta · 16 Apr 2012 at 05:37

Yeah I thought that, the site definitely needs updating.
If you dig a little deeper though there's plenty of good reviews and the young lad that set it up won some award with Lloyds TSB so it all seems pretty legit. Apparently he sources his codes from countries where the games retail at a much lower RRP than the UK and then sells them here.
Mine activated fine with ANet fine anyway.

sounds good

Resource Camps – Resource Camps are extremely important because they’re how you gain “supply”. Supply is essentially a resource that allows you and your server to repair walls that have been destroyed, purchase keep upgrades, build siege weapons, and upgrade NPCs at keeps. Each Resource Camp has a small group of NPCs guarding it, but no walls or doors to speak of. If your server owns a Resource Camp, caravans will periodically be sent out to resupply nearby allied towers and keeps. Each objective has its own supply depot, but only if it’s available at that depot. If not, you’ll need to escort a caravan to a nearby depot or obtain some from a Resource camp.

The caravans and such are like Dynamic Events, they’re shown on the tracker to anyone nearby, for you they might say “Escort the caravan to the keep.”, where as any enemies nearby would see “Stop the caravan from reaching the enemy keep”. This facilitates PvP in many areas of the map rather than people standing in one spot at a keep or tower since supply is an extremely important part of WvW play.

Sounds brilliant!

On the CJS site it says the game is for EU servers only. I am assuming this will be okay for beta?

As far as im aware, it just means you have to use a EU server to login, but thats about it.

They said they'd cater for those who play on the go (travel) so I wonder what the whole deal is, either you do or not, what's between? :O

Same, seems like its ok from other peoples experiences, personally I'll stick with Play though, site is too questionable when coming for refunds or issues etc.

Besides, Play is listed as a recommended retailer on the official pre-purchase page, if play mess up and not get keys out in time then shooting off a email to arenanet might net some goodies

. I don't see them messing up on this one, I doubt arenanet would be happy about that.

Watched the video last nite showing a 30min game play of a caster…. It looks fantastic; I never really played WoW from the start and am mainly a FPS player. I started wow when cata came out and got to level 85 with my clan mates. Really enjoyed it but all the guys stopped playing. To me this game’s areas/worlds looks like a pumped version of WoW which imo is fantastic as I loved the areas and scenery. I know gfx are irrelevant but to me I like to immerse myself in the world which has to be a believable…. other MMO’s I’ve seen haven’t managed to do that bar AoC!

All in all as a total nub at MMO’s I cant wait for this, best part is the fact I can still link up with my clan mates to do runs and quests no matter what level!! CANT WAIT!!!

Look up Yogcast on youutube, he has some good spotlight video's of all the classes and I love the commentary, cracks me up on.

I hate yogcast, one of the guys is alright, but the one that talks less and sounds sort of "background" like just sounds like a complete and utter moron. He's always amazed by everything, infact i'd love to live like him because even the smallest joy on the planet is like an orgasm to him.

JaseUK · 16 Apr 2012 at 11:05

I think the first mmo I ever played was the original GW but can I heck as like remember my laccount details. Is it worth firing an email to ArenaNet?

Yea, that sounds about right. I mainly watch their vids as it covers a lot of the skills and im currently looking at what class to play

. Saying that, im easily amused.

If you have any of your CD keys, you can email them with proof (a photo or scanned image) and they will send you your account details. Worked for me. I spent about 2hours searching for my boxes and found 1.

Its only a bit of light humour. Some people like more serious commentary. Some people like Yogscast style of commentary. Its nice to see different styles of commentary. People have a choice of what style of delivery they prefer

Yeah it is. You have a master account at NCSoft that links all NCSoft games together.
