WAAAGH!!!

WAR is Coming and the world is ready. Hundreds of thousands of players will descend upon the Age of Reckoning this Sunday, September 7th.

In order to make this world-wide event the best it can be we're welcoming all Preview Weekend attendees back for two more days to rev things up and get the party started. We invite all Preview Weekend players to join us for Preview Weekend+ this Friday, 9/5 and Saturday, 9/6 starting tomorrow morning.

This epic weekend will be one to remember as you herald in Open Beta and the Age of Reckoning to the entire world!

The tides of WAR are coming...we'll see you on the battlefiled!

(Yes they really did spell it 'battlefiled'.)

I'm ready, and hopefully my target thing works this time.

Now, as long as work doesn't send me to California on another photo shoot, ill be happy.

[H]opefully my target thing works this time.

I had the problem of Q's looking like 0's and O's.  You probably already figured that out by now, but it gave me a headache for a while.

I'm in the same boat, I didn't get to play at the preview weekend, so for me this open beta time is for me to find a class I like and want to play.

Has anyone been able to get their client to fire all the way up? Mine crashes right after getting to the point where I hit PLAY (I *was* able to patch) and this doesn't match the behavior when I fired it up on the Tuesday after preview weekend, where it went all the way to the 'pick your server' point and just couldn't find any.

Would be nice to know now if I need to reinstall, or if the patch I just downloaded has a time bomb in it that won't even let the thing fire up until preview time starts.

Isle of the Dead is not an option. Note: Some of the servers have full Destro, but none had full Order.

Sunday is the start of Open Beta, where everyone who preordered gets access. Right now its Preview Weekend, so only people who got in in the last preview weekend are able to play.

Seems to me like they wanted to stress the servers a bit more before opening the floodgates.

No that this has hit the non-elder.  My CTD has been much lower.  But there are some glaring bugs (scenario respawn delays,Untargetable mobs).  And the slop timer is a queue, its better but .3sec isn't enough.  The UI changes are pretty good.

These two are driving me crazy. I get the untargetable mobs in the very first empire quest!
