I\'m gonna play as a Tauren Druid :)

Post by: Elegrand on January 28, 2004, 09:36:19 pm: Either way, I\'ll be a shaman.

Post by: AendarCallenlasse on January 28, 2004, 09:39:22 pm: It sucks that Night Elves can\'t be mages but oh well. Night Elf Hunter all the way.
Title:
Post by: Kixie on January 28, 2004, 09:43:38 pm: see thats why this game is gonna be a stinker. too many imaginary rules like \"a night elf cant be a mage\" way to many restrictions in the name of \"gameplay in the warcraft world\" this game is gonna blow, especially after all the hype and dissapointment. unless somehow they deliver a PERFECT game, which is impossible by any means, everyone will be dissapointed.
Title:
Post by: Caldazar on January 28, 2004, 09:44:42 pm: Well.. we\'ll just have to wait and see :P
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on January 28, 2004, 09:46:27 pm: Well seeing as how you\'ve never even played the game your opinion really means squat. It might suck but at least I\'m gonna wait until I play it to judge it.
Title:
Post by: Caldazar on January 28, 2004, 09:48:16 pm: Aye, and we\'ll have to wait atleast six months after release. They need atleast half a year to screw it up with unbalanced patches.
/me curses Mythic Entertainment

yes but i went to the site, looked at all of the rules carefully. and i saw that really teh rules are dumb. also i have seen all the news and dissapointments. and saying that my oppinion is squat is very irrisponsible especialy coming from an experienced poster like yourself. i didnt say your oppinion was wrong but you bashed mine anyways. thats truly wrong and after being on the boards so long i would expect you to know that.

Post by: Kampai on January 28, 2004, 10:56:00 pm: I guess I\'ll sign up for it since I\'m stuck at home for a while awaiting knee surgery. Why is it that when you are unable to go out and do a lot of things, you want to go out the worst? It sucks I tell ya!
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on January 28, 2004, 10:57:19 pm: Wouldn\'t know what that\'s like. I spend most of my time indoors.

Post by: Grakrim on January 28, 2004, 11:12:33 pm: Thanks for the heads-up; I haven\'t been following the game, but what the hell, might as well see if I can get in beta. Maybe my 56K will actually be an advantage (a guy can wish, no?)...

Is this going to be an open beta or will a NDA be required, though? I generally refuse to play NDA betas unless I think it\'ll be this year\'s killer app.

[edit]
*reads the FAQ, answers his own question*
Bah, it requires a NDA... Ah, I may sign-up anyway, not like I\'d be accepted...

Post by: Sir Fishy on January 29, 2004, 12:00:29 am: hmm maybe this is just me, but i like the older versions (ive played everyone ever made up to warcraft 3 reign of chaos). I like them better becuase all the sides were majoritivly equal and you could command alot more people/troops whatever ya wanna call em. I mean in Warcraft 3 they have added heros wich i find an unfair advantage, though i do like the elves. I mean i liked in the old one were you could create the mages to do the spells and priests and actually have boats. the heros just seem to take more away from the game i mean in the old orcs vs humans they were both equal now Night Elves and Undead are both more powerful then orcs and humans combined. well now i can start making my enemys. lol but let me know if the heros vanish in warcraft world of war
Title:
Post by: Davis on January 29, 2004, 12:02:24 am: That is wrong. Go on Battle.net. Almost everyone plays Orc.

And World of Warcraft, I guess you can say everyone is a \"hero\". It\'s not an RTS game like the other Warcraft games. It\'s an MMORPG.
Title:
Post by: Sir Fishy on January 29, 2004, 12:06:59 am: hmm i didnt know it was an mmorpg. but i cant use battle.net because my comp wont support it very well at all. so i was speaking form playing against the computer it always made the elfs and undead better then the rest so then maybe i will look at wow. thanks for the info davis
Title:
Post by: Kixie on January 29, 2004, 12:13:05 am: ugh i hate the blizard entertainment franchise. always trying to be hip and cool with the geeky fans. before 2002 it was all rts so they made an rts and so far they have 9 or 10 of them. but now they have stoped and made a mmopg since that is the cool thing to do.

PS i know that world of warcraft isnt run by blizzard but it is still blizards franchise

Post by: seperot on January 29, 2004, 12:56:06 am: its not fair i tell you why do i have to wait its not fair ;(

Post by: Xalthar on January 29, 2004, 01:05:44 am: Cal we\'ll have to wait for them to open the european beta.. personally I\'ll apply as soon as possible :P

Going to be cool roaming the realms as an undead mage...!

Post by: rumblebelly on January 29, 2004, 02:03:48 am: correct me if i\'m wrong (and i know someone will) but can\'t elve\'s use magic by nature are they not born that way i don\'t see why they would make a char not be able to use magic when in pretty much any other game or fantasy book they can :o)
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on January 29, 2004, 02:38:53 am: They can be druids. Which really is more fitting for the night elves with their connection to nature. They can also be priests.
Title:
Post by: Saphire on January 29, 2004, 05:24:54 am: WoW indeed. :D
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on January 29, 2004, 06:58:17 am: Too many people sending in applications. They dun screwed up the site. Ah well I\'ll have to wait until tommorrow.

lol :D did you think you\'ll be the first in line? there\'s massive wc3 communities out there like wc3campaigns.com and lots more with 100\'s of people on each day. I\'d say at 9 pm thousands of kids tried to sign up :)
Title:
Post by: Abemore on January 29, 2004, 08:12:41 am: Blizzard is a wonderful company. They know how to make a good game. I\'m confident they will not disappoint.

Thanks for posting the news Aendar.

Now to wait for site to stop being slammed. :)

Edit: the german mirror is still online, but obviously there is no registration form there.

Edit 2: Who can read korean? http://211.233.0.132/cb/index.html

Edit 3: English site seems to be back up.
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on January 29, 2004, 09:29:37 am: No problem Abe. You know it\'s funny when I first played W3 I thought to myself, this would make a cool MMORPG. It\'s gonna be a great game I\'m sure.
Title:
Post by: Abemore on January 29, 2004, 10:06:31 am: I thought the same thing :)

Okay, I\'m all registered. Now, we wait.
Title:

Title:
Post by: Caldazar on January 29, 2004, 03:33:43 pm: The EU-server will be named Calthar. So in your face :P

BTW, what are you planning on playing Sep?

EDIT: I\'m seriously thinking about taking a senior-citizens name, adress and phone-number... I think there is something wrong with me.....
Title:
Post by: seperot on January 29, 2004, 05:15:07 pm: a night elf...not sure what class i\'ll take i see whats there if i get in how about you?
Title:
Post by: Caldazar on January 29, 2004, 05:33:09 pm: Alliance: Human Paladin or Human mage
Horde: Tauren Druid
Title:
Post by: Xalthar on January 29, 2004, 07:51:36 pm: Horde: Undead Mage

Alliance: Bah, who cares, I can be undead!! :P

although I have a bad feeling the game will not live up to the expectations I have for it...!
Title:
Post by: Grakrim on January 29, 2004, 11:00:06 pm: I\'m looking at the Gnomes right now, Gnome Mage or Rogue, probably. The Night Elves interest me, too; perhaps if they give beta testers the 8 planned slots retail players will get, I\'ll make one of them too...

I say we start an \"anti-Sep in WoW beta\" campaign, spread rumors that he works for SOE, or something... Or just get his address and disqualify him :P

Caldazar: I can score you a few of those senior-citizens, $100 US. ;)

Good luck applicants (you\'ll need it, with me in the race :P )!

Post by: Kiern on January 29, 2004, 11:29:11 pm: wait wait wait...I\'ve been looking around the site, and there will be gnomes? maybe it might be interesting then, PS gets -50 cool points for not having gnomes daily :P

I agree, cool sig ;)

So you\'re a fan of the Gnomes, too, eh? If I have the option, I\'m always a Gnome; as I think it fits my personality best.
Quoth the EQ battlecry, \"GNOMERCY!\".

And yes, nice sig, indeed.
Title:
Post by: Abemore on January 30, 2004, 03:02:38 am: That\'s odd... why do people like gnomes? :)
Title:
Post by: Xalthar on January 30, 2004, 02:06:25 pm: Because Gnomes make them feel big in comparison... just like people who get big cars to feel \"big\"...

:rolleyes:

I\'ve always thought that its easier to play my, typically eccentric, character as a Gnome. Gnomes just have that appeal to me.

Or maybe Xalthar is right...
