Cue:
Good vs Bad, PvE vs PVP arguments resulting in all partipants playing every faction possibile on every available server and no two being on the same side and same server
Otherwise damn good idea i would say
Cloudborne is where we are testing at the moment which is a pvp server.
From what we are hearing the PVE servers have PVP zones as well as the instances pvp arenas so you can still pvp on pve servers, plus you can always voluntarily flag yourself pvp and attack others flagged too.
Currently I am liking the look of PVE mainly as you can have it all without idiot gank squads camping lowbie zone entrances (had lvl 27 which was cap groups camping the area for the players entering the 20+ in beta already. A guild called S.T.E.A.L.T.H because obviously they cant win without 7 lvls and superior numbers on single players though was funny how they all ran away when we formed up a group to get them ).

Well, better mass server crashes tonight than on launch (assuming they do something about it before then).
Trouble is they have to be careful with server numbers, WAR had the same thing and so spun up dozens of new servers so people were happy. Of course once the first month of play people got with the game passed they had to start closing servers which were half empty

Well got on and made a toon - warrior/paladin to try out.
First impressions:
Lotro looks miles better, but not bad looks wise.
UI etc same old which is a good thing.
Go kill 10 rats/trolls/pubic lice etc same old quests - hard to be original I guess.
Animations ok, but a bit too manga 'swishy' for me.
I'm not grabbed by this at first look, but I will look again.
A solid looking MMO, but reminds me of Warhammer what I've seen of it so far.
No wow factor and almost it is just meh.

I think its a brilliant game, never before have i had 70 people on the screen all battling and have no imapct on performance.. even on my ageing comp
Combat is tactical, fun and clever. With infinite possibilities and seemingly endless combinations.
The immersive, ever changing world is a great touch, and the animation and level of detail is fluid very impressive.. on the enemies more than the characters themselves infact.
Looking forward to release. And trying out some PvP later this week.

They admitted before hand they would be testing server limits and adding more as needed so I was half expecting issues. I heard WAR did the same thing but then it was at release rather than Beta where it should be.
As a lot of us have said it appears to have taken the best bits from a lot of MMO's and then given its own system for the best bits like the Soul System and the Rifts. The Instances (1st one is around lvl 17) are excellent. I am also very impressed with the performance. FPS has doubled since last beta and it never struggled on the events before with 100+ players all fighting the same mobs.
Play it a while Swither as you have barely seen it yet and until you get involved in Rifts/Invasions and Events you have barely scratched the surface

Your opinion is worthless....

DAoC was the best game for huge battles, regularly could handle a hundred on screen, hopefully when i get in this is in par
If they keep this up don't think you'll be dissapointed Gitz0r
Got to level 10 last night and my mage starting to show signs of fragility, which i liked as i managed to get out of the crowded, steam-roller zone area. Feels a bit chess like having to plan a few spells ahead to make sure you aren't going to be spilling you organs on the ground.
Gone Stormcaller / Dominator and yeah i rolled on Cloudborne like i think a few of us have already.. gone Defiant though, toons called Emmon.
I'll try get a few hours on tonight, how is everyone else finding it?
