The Irish Server???

DeVore

I know about 10 people not on Boards who will be playing this from day 1!

We need to agree an Irish Server so that we can at least all be in the same realm (because usually everyone ends up on different servers with lvl 60 characters and wanting to raid together.

Do anyone know a server list yet?? How can we organise this, pick one asap and spread the word?? If everyone on this thread posts to say they will join the irish server when its decided then we'll form critical mass ( well thats the theory!).

DeV.

No server lists as of yet.
We might aswell spend the beginning of day 1 checking each server for the best pings and go from there.

In order to get as many of us on the one server we might aswell spend the first day or two figuring out what is the best.

entropi

Aswell as that, will there be an Irish guild set up for Order/Chaos ? i would place my gold coins on a yes but who knows

KoKane

Yup I'm making one with a few people allready (Irish people)
Might aswell post the thread now I suppose.

R0ot

I'll be dragging a few Eve Online Irish lads with me to this also, will be nice having a big horde of Irish running around.

Wreck

I've 3-4 Irish WoW players coming with me, possibly a couple more. None of them are on boards much though.

Spear

My main will be going with the server chosen by the dodgy guild I've thrown my lot in with, but I'll probably go with an alt on whatever the intended Irish server is.

The server names will all be after locations in the Warhammer world, though we don't have a precise list yet.

Wreck

What's the story with server types? Will there be different PvE and PvP servers like WoW?

There'll be core rules, open rules, and RP variants of them. In open you're flagged for PvP at all times.

KoKane

There will be (so far), Open RvR and Closed RvR. Pretty much like PvP and Pve, in the sense that on one you wil have to type /rvr or something similar in order to flag yourself.
The other being you are openly attackable at any time.

There are discussions atm on the whole "chickening" effect (where high ranking players who return to lower level zones get turned into a chicken thats killable in 1 hit). The discussions are kinda about how that would work on Open RvR servers


edit - Yeah, forgot Core rules. That will be like the Normal mode.

Rev Hellfire

I'm thinking core, while open PvP is nice sometimes you'd like to just go about your own business.

KoKane

Yeh Core sounds like the safest bet for starting the game.

R0ot

Coming from the Eve world i'd prefer open RvR but i'll stick to whatever the vast majority decide.

PvP is easy to find, simply head to the nearest PvP lake or press the join scenario button, there's no need to be under attack at all times.

The need is more of the risk factor than the "I think id like to fight now, but not then" but if WAR is anything like WoW there won't be much risk to the loss. Anyway as said i'll follow the majority.

BKtje

I'll be giving this a shot on release. Would be interested in joining yas on whatever server you choose

hairyheretic

I'll be joining some existing Guild mates on WAR, but considering the number of alts I tend to play, having more of them in an Irish guild won't be a problem either

Wreck

I'd definitely prefer an open RvR server.

String

I will be keeping track on IRC seeing where majority of the uk community are going. Think we should go where they go to avoid as many seedes dutch greeks etc tbh!

Lemming

I'll possibly be joining SWG guildmates (The White Wolves) in their WAR incarnation of the same name. I'll try steer them to the 'right' server

But failing that I'm sure I'll have a few characters spread about.

Dubhthamlacht

me and some friends from WoW Eu outland server will be starting up with WAR so i'll be keeping an eye on what server you guys pick to be on with WAR. seems like a healthy number want to be destruction. more fun being bad eh?

Maximilian

I don't really mind whether core or open. I just hope we can all take care to join the same server. Please make sure you check here before you create characters.

I think the OB server names will carry over to the launch. The early access ones certainly will anyway. So hopefully we can agree on a server well in advance of launch.

If only I could decide what class to go with...

String

They will 100% be giving a list of servers before they go up aswell so it would be good to look around different forums as say for example the greek wow community all joined the server I joined and it was ruined as no one would speak English.

Hopefully it's chosen before the headstart.

ah sure we'll choose it during the open beta, and we'll use it from the headstart on..

That sounds like a good plan. I'd probably go for the open RvR servers where you can be attacked at any time but I will follow the majority.

Hey all,

Me and my bro also have the CE and will be wanting to join a server with some good oul irish people to enjoy the game with.

Im also 100% pvp, so what ever server type has the strongest/open pvp rule set would be my preference.

Also came from a long EVE career, still wish i'd never given it up sometimes.

100% pvp, niiiiice.
You going destruction or Order

paddyman

My favorite char at the moment is the Magus (even though no one really knows what the char will end up like for launch)

Destruction seems to be the way forward

Looking forward to trying a MMO again. aint played one for a while.

Probably cant match the days of college when i could put a 20 hr session in no probs lol but i'll give it a good bash!!

Ivan

100% PvP for me too... I mean, come on. How can you stick your nose up at WoW players, who arent even playing a real PvP game, when you would be playing WAR where you get turned into a chicken for going into too low a level RvR area.

For shame people, for shame!

TBH that's one of the things I am going to do first if/when its possible, chicken Pwnage FTW!
