Implicit ownership of wrecks - 08/07/2009
Great WAR server name, or greatest WAR server name? Best MMO server name. Period. For any game. Ever. Past, present and future. Ecuador Volcano Fist Wrestling move, IMHO. You obviously haven't spent enough time in Ecuadorian brothels if you think that's a wrestling move.

I debated for days of trying to make a joke about it, finally decided not to. Combination of tastelessness and me not being funny enough to pull it off.

I was sure Ecuador Volcano Fist required the girl to be having a heavy period, with perhaps the application of bicarb of soda and white vinegar for lube, but there you go. Maybe I was thinking of Peruvian Volcano Fist.

Germany after first Server Merge:
Erengrad Carroburg Drakenwald
Huss (RP) - Merged in May
Averland (Open RvR) - Merged in July
At least the 3 remaining servers do well in terms of pop/activities

I love how they make it sound like a good thing. "Greetings! Another round of our Free Character Transfers starts today!"

If you're on a dead or dying server it probably is a good thing.

Why don't they just condense down to one server and get it over with.

Then they couldn't use server merges to make people happy they'll have a few others to fight.

They're already starting to run up against the wall, there. There's only one RP and one PvP+ server left.

Because "We still have more servers than DAoC!" is all they got left?

There goes the Oceanic servers. Probably the RP server next, can't imagine they'll merge more than that for awhile though.

I just read the last patch. It's pretty clear now that there are still huge problems at the company.
Selling all the ingredients so players can make summoning stones instead of just selling the goddamn stones cheap as dirt strikes me as backwards ass game design.
Someone needs to fish the rest of the poison out of the well that is Mythic.

* Summoning Stone components can now be purchased by Talisman Makers from Morena von Hoffe in Altdorf and Alerian the Flayer in The Inevitable City. This is under the Talisman Making crafting section. Can anyone explain if you have to be a Talisman maker to also craft this stone?

Is the associated profession hard to level? Because free skillups would be an obvious reason for this. The other being an attempt to get people to use whatever auction/trade systems they have in place more frequently.

It was a recipe based system that required you to disenchant items to get materials. Other materials came from other professions. Materials were limited by skill level (i.e. you needed a particular skill level to use higher level materials) and the level of materials was closely linked to the level of the item you salvaged or, in the case of scavenged stuff, the level of the mob you'd killed. This meant that you had to try and keep your crafting level equivalent to your character level otherwise you'd find it hard to get materials for your craft (you could only salvage weapons and armour and a lot of them were untradable). The market wasn't enormously well stocked with crafting materials when I played (that could very well have changed since though) so crafting was either a huge gold sink as you paid crazy prices for low level loot or an exercise in frustration as you stopped being able to advance due to having out-levelled your craft skill unless you wanted to farm green mobs on multiple alts with different collection skills in the hope of getting drops you could use.

And the oceanic players with them. Reports are that the pings are worse with the transfer, even though all servers were in the US 280-300+... which sadly is what I used to get playing WoW on dial-up from country Australia

vn boardsSeems like the last Italian and Spanish servers are been closed with the remaining players been moved to english language servers.
Gorthor -> Karak Eight Peaks (Order - Destruction) Gorthor -> Eltharion (Order -Destruction) Gorthor -> Karak Azgal (Order)
Gorthor -> Karak Norn - transfer not possible
The transfer will be avaible from the 8th of september,same thing for the spanish server. Normally I'd get a better source but :flu: and I hate the whole flash Europe website.

At this point I'm willing to bet that WAR gets cancelled by EA by Q2 2010. Or eventually starts going on about their revolutionary single server technology which is why everyone now plays in the same world.

UO is still running. If they think there's will be still be enough people playing WAR after they fire all but a skeleton crew I don't see why EA wouldn't keep it running indefinitely.

UO's been paid for over time, though. I don't think WAR has made back its initial investment.

I don't really know why UO is still running. Maybe because it was inherited as a legacy game? Something not true of Warhammer.
