They said they will let people in starting Friday based on how early you preordered. So it might be Saturday for some.

What I read it was worded such that they'd let in everyone at 9AM est but they'd be letting in some people before that. |

Doesn't look like anyone is in yet from what I can tell. Seems they've had a few last minute server issues. On a side note, I can't wait until all the people posting "OMG patcher won't patch!" despite it saying in fucking bright red letters on the patcher that it may be unavailable, make it to their first investigation mission. Edit: Oh and may as well add me to the f13 list. Will be playing Templar on Faerie, probably called Tyrnan if I can't find anything decent that hasn't been taken already. |

I may eventually try it but I will wait at LEAST 3 months after launch. And I blame Rasix entirely for even thinking about it.
Right there with ya. His tepid endorsement was the only reason I even bothered with the beta! Is there room in this boat? Successfully avoided buying this one, yay. A prolonged Tortuga sounds interesting, and they almost got me on the black cat pre-order bonus. But...it's an mmo and I generally don't get a ton of mileage out of them, especially in the summer. |

Do we know if we'll be able to have one of each of the factions on a server? If so I will make one of each. If not, my characters will be Templar on Arcadia.

Yes, you can make all three factions on one server. Which is really, really stupid. Sure, it's not an EDIT: MMO PvP driven game, but given how serverless everything outside of Fusang is, to lock out faction hopping from it would have only been reasonable.

Why is it stupid? This is a relief to me as it allows me to experience all 3 faction stories on my preferred server. Do you mean from a pvp standpoint? Honestly, I don't think PvP in this game will be taken that seriously. |

Close and relaunch the client. If it still does it, it means you are "not on the list" (yet).
I'm in as Lefteye, Templar, Grim server, as per list above. I created and reserved Falconeer too, so should you ever meet her it's obviously me.
I like the Facebook implementation by the way. The serverless architecture makes it pretty nifty and useful.

Well it seems when Rangar said Faerie would be available as an undesignated server, he meant when they open future ones  So I'm on Huldra as Tahli the Templar. Although I have a Dragon symbol next to me on character select. They're trying to infiltrate us already! |

I'm disappoint introduction of Arcadia didn't led to renaming some other server to Stark while at it.

Not sure what server I'll be on but I reserved Ginaz and will probably be rolling Templar. I didn't care for the background of the Illuminati. They just seem like a bunch of dicks. I might give the Dragons a quick try to see what they are like as I didn't get to try out them during the beta weekends.
I think that's what I liked most about the Illuminati. So absolutely shameless about what they're doing. I think the vision methods sum up the factions quite nicely. Illuminati : DRUGGGGGGSS. Dragon: Mystic blowjobs. Templar: Watch the puppet dance. The Illuminati valley girl has one of the best quotes about the Dragon: "I don't want to say we've given up on the Dragon, but... we've given up on the Dragon." So, I'll wrestle with the decision to play or not today at work. Probably Illuminati somewhere if I cave. |

I am recording lots of videos. I think I am going to Radicalthon this. It might save people on the fence the money for the story.

Welp, thanks to my wife's mixup, I'll be playing this. Apparently, she preordered 2 copies, so rather than bother with the hassle of trying to get one refunded, I said fuck it, I'll play.
Going to make an Templar on Arcadia methinks.
EDIT: Templar made. Name of Haemish MacLennan, nickname "Hamsammich."

Trias/Grim/Dragon. Chaos is Order, Ecstasy is Clarity. Muscly tattooed dudes dressed in only whity-tighties contrast with your more traditional mute mystic monks meekly marking the way forward. Apparently oral sex is part of the training of all new initiates, and it shows, because if your vision is supposed to correlate with your orgasm, your 'trainer' has certainly had some practice at it.
I basically ignore that this is an MMORPG. Of course, I more or less do that with all recent MMORPGs anyways, as the single-player quest-grind style of modern MMOs compels me to treat them as such. However, this is the only MMORPG I've played that I care about as an RPG in and of itself. I devour the optional dialogue of all the NPCs wheras I can only roll my eyes at most of the writing in Rift/WoW/everything else, skipping through it as quickly as possible. Even SWTOR, while better than most, was generic and mediocre in comparison. It has that feeling that the good RPGs that branch into new territory/IP do, fun writing combined with an interesting and unfolding gameworld. Enjoying (obviously).

This is weird, Secret World got a subforum. I sincerely bet on the fastest ever to get to the graveyard. Just about the time to finish the main story quest.

It would be interesting to hear you bitch about a Funcom game as you max out 3 different faction characters on two different server types while I'm still not out of the newbie area.

So much hate! I played AoC and AO and enjoyed them. I bet this game has its merits. That and I'm trapped in my house with 110 degree temps. |
