how many of you play on EU servers, if any

In! MSN me sometime if you want to play.

(Tried to get the merkin version so I could play with Ali, but the store kept redirecting me and I didn't feel like paypalling someone to buy it for me. OTL.)

I'm a little disappointed with the server populations at the moment, I see some that are constantly low no matter what, I think for Aus at least, it would better to condense them to two or three Core, one Open Rvr and one RP.
Ashteru2008-10-12 11:22:01
Nicely spread in EU after they cloned some. I am pissed though. After every patch the game gets more laggy for me. Start of Preview Weekend - Awesome running, awesome awesome. First patch, first half hour great, then laggy. Second patch, ten minutes great, then laggy. *g*
Shiri2008-10-12 13:24:59
I barely run into anyone, but then it is a Sunday morning. I'll probably be screwed for population in general giving my waking hours.

As for lag...it has been pretty laggy, but for some reason it seizes up my computer for about 10 minutes when I -close it down-. It's pretty much ok while it's running...wacko.gif

I now have a DoK on Ironclaw (Oceania) and a BW on Wasteland (NA). So... curse you all for sticking with EU. sad.gif

PewpewpewBOOM!

Can't choose any other Servers. tongue.gif
And I am happy with my BO! ^^

Alright, question. How do you lot stomach this? I'm a Rune Priest.

1. All the PvE quests annoy me. Not only are my spells ungodly weak, but all the walking and hitting the Flee button every 30 seconds just to get around is annoying.

2. Every time I get into a Scenario, Order loses 80% of the time. Though, this is typically across just about all MMOs when you play the good guys, oh well.

3. Same as 1. Can't kill for crap. I can heal decently, sure, the rest? Eh.

4. There's nobody to talk to! Nobody seems to understand that /1 = general chat, even though it doesn't show it as so. Can't find a guild, either, and I have no idea where the Dwarf capital is unless I take a flight master to it.

5. Leveling. Slooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

I have to echo this, at least for the low level where my bright wizard is at. I haven't played in two weeks, but 90% of the time we would lose the scenario RvR.

It really all depends on the server you play on. It also doesn't help that general consensus is that destro classes are a lot better at lower levels than order classes. Plus, given the population issues, a lot of order you come across might just be starting whereas for destro this is their 2nd or 3rd character because they absolutely cannot get PvP in T3 or T4 because there aren't any order.

Anyway, best bet is to find a nice server with pretty equal population and find a good guild. You'll probably enjoy the game more smile.gif Oh and uh, Rune Priest might be a bit frustrating in general. Might start off with something a little more satisfying to play? If you want some suggestions, PM me.
Charune2008-10-12 16:47:22
Bright Wizard is a very fun class for me to play - blow people up before you blow yourself up!

I don't mind the healing business in general, it's more the 'getting rolled like dough' as so many people seem to like to put it.

I started off with a Shadow Warrior that I've got at rank 13 now, it's pretty fun. Might try out a Witch Hunter or a Warrior Priest. What else is good?

I tried that to, so I could play with some lusternians but after spending hours trying to use proxyservers, ghost credit cards, tweaking store accounts and the like I gave up. Sure Tenqual offered to buy it for me but I dislike any form of deal where I have to rely on others.

Warhammer is a RAM eater, however if you use some UI addons (I use curse client for it) you can lessen it a bit by tweaking game logging. Although I believe they patched the logging every chat window anyway. Also play at max FPS of course, even if you have an extremely good gaming system.

I have a simple method to see if if it is worth playing scenarios that day. If most of your healers have DPS envy it is not worth it. Although on my server Chaos first started winning everything, and now Order tends to win Scenarios, especially in higher tiers.

Anyways I play oh EU-EN-Burlok, in retrospect an ill choice because a lot of people forget it is an RP server (I know, what mmorpg takes RP servers seriously) and PVP wise you need to look really hard for a decent guild. My class preferences right now are Archmage and White Lion although I have tons of alts. Probably going to roll a main chaos alt on another server next week.

#4... I hear you're on skull throne. All my characters are Sint* where it could be Sinttor Sintorr Sintor, etc. Just /who Sint and you will find someone to talk to <3

I was bored with most classes, but BW is just far too awesome. I adore the class.

Also started a DoK fairly recently, and it's alright. Healing gets boring for me, even with the 'melee-healer' thing.
Ashteru2008-10-12 20:05:02
I actually like most classes, but for now I am going with my BOrc. Can't roll any Dark Elves because I don't want to get bored when my baby (Black Guard) comes out and replaying the first tier gets annoying quick. But BO is just full of awesome. The secret is to not spec in DPS tree and just go tank all the way. I still get more damage than the DPS tanks (and sometimes MDPS too) because I just stay around in combat for so long.
Ashteru2008-10-15 17:44:59
Someone tell me if patch 1.0.3 really will make stuff a lot better. I don't know since I get my patches usually far later. -.-
Zonewide chat? Way to fix graphical cache in options? *drool*
Desitrus2008-10-15 18:33:10
Caching change helps if you were already having issues.
Ashteru2008-10-15 22:05:23
Yay. Hopefully it really helps. Now just need to wait for GOA to release it for us. Damn french. :<

There's region-wide chat now, actually. <3333

Edit: There always was, to some degree, but nobody knew. You could do '/1 Messagehere' and talk on the general chat, but doing /1 wouldn't show like it does now in your chat bar thing. Now that it's advertised, it's awesome.
Ashteru2008-10-15 22:33:24
Yeah, but before, it was only for the chapter. Now it's basically for the whole tier in your race.

And as I said, I'll only have it in a week or so. :{
