World Of Warfraft....
polycounter lvl 18
Hi all,
just thought I would let you know.
I was at Media Play tonight around closing time while they were stocking pc games and the clerk put out a preorder box for World of Warcraft. (avaliable nov 23rd). Came with a free warcraft novel.
I preordered the Collectors edition. This seems to be one of the Best actual Collectors edition games I yet to see. It does have a price to match tho. $69.00
check out what comes with it here. WOW
Do any of you Beta testers know what the exclusive in-game pet is?
later

Can't wait for retail
in the beta there were 3 servers (as of most recently), Beta (pve), Beta 2 (pve), and a PvP server. I played on all 3, my main character was on the Beta server (Critical 2 levels old
I may play when it goes retail, i may not. Its a great game, so i may play it for a while. Im guessing there will be a lot of cool stuff in retail that is being excluded from the beta.
the collectors edition box multisuper set is pretty sweet though.
When's it out in the UK, and will this be available to UK people too? Anyone know?
i'd get it in an instant if there wasnt a monthly fee, because i really do not like monthly fees at all.
I have old characters on the beta servers, but I only play on the PvP server now. I have been impressed with the game so far, and besides a few quirks which are supposedly being addressed, I cant complain.
I am really looking forward to battlegrounds and raid encounters, but the fact that they wont be testing battlegrounds before release really scares me. A lot of other companies have made the same mistake (holding back game-play elements until after release) and it has always resulted in a buggy release that players will exploit to the max.
Here's hopeing that blizzard gets it right.
This is how I feel about paladin talents. Warrior talents went in how long ago? Three or four months back? Their talents have been revised twice over since then, while paladin players still don't even know what their talents will be. The class is allegedly undergoing a serious overhaul anyway, and all we're going to get is a couple weeks of open beta with it at best before it ships. Lame
It has some amazing CG in it. I really like the first close up of the dwarf.
watch it here

other than that, pretty friggan cool.
ph33r.
i preordered the collectors edition last night (ugh... im weak) *mainly* for the art book, but i guess for the game as well
MOOSE: I dont think i'll preorder the collectors edition, just because i think that would secure the harness that is strapped around my balls.

Yeah, I figured I actually need to buy it, too...
I'm more excited about Guild Wars. Anyone play the preview this weekend? Hot stuff..
[/ QUOTE ]Guild Wars was cool!
I am bit reluctant to get the game for this monthly fee thing. I've played EVE online for a bit but in the end I thought the game's price plus the months that I paid the subscription all together made it a very expensive game.
The should have an option where you can either pay for a month or an hourly rate (when you go over an X amount they don't charge you more than the monthly amount).
Also, Open beta opened yesterday if any of you want to get a jump on the game.

I'm gettin' me one of them mini-Diablo's
Any chance of getting a semi-official Polycount WoW server? I know we're spread out all over a bunch of timezones (and I'm likely to go with an RP server myself), but it would be cool to see some of you online.
you can, and those that do it willingly most likely bitch about it, because it isnt fun. I have farmed a little, and i didnt like doing it because its repetative and boring... but i honestly cant say they 'force' you to farm for hours on end.
I havent played much in the latest patch, but from how it has worked before was that you *could* if you wanted to, but there really isnt any need to. Unless you view collecting resources for professions as farming, then yer screwed
The 200page art of-book just kept calling to me and I had to order it.. I just had to
Oh god.. I actually went and ordered the European collector's edition even though I haven't played the game and aren't really that keen on paying a monthly subscription fee.

Where did you get that? I haven't seen a European Version of the game with the artbook anywhere.
Your post actually got me worried now.. it doesn't say what's in the box, I assumed it has about the same contents as the US CE, minus the possible autographed manual, better have the artbook and cloth map there or I'll be seriously upset!
Edit: Oh there it is. Another shop had the contents and it should have a concept art book, behind the scenes dvd, cloth map and soundtrack as well as a unique gameplay item.
No word if it has both the cd and dvd versions of the game or the autographed manual (pretty sure it's just a plain manual).
Name will be: Apostolos (human Paladin)
Server: one of the US PVP east (will edit to actual server tomorrow)
Everyone that is going to get this game be sure to post your server and character name in this thread so we can possibly meet up.

I will be playing Pallas, also a human paladin and also on one of the East PVP servers. Good to know I'll have some Polycoutner company when I'm chillin' in the Cathedral
an invitation card with a separate activation key for a friend invite to the game ( I beleive good for a 5 day trial)
[/ QUOTE ]
Oo, I want to be your friend now. At least for 5 days.
Since Everquest 2 killed my PC (when I entered a city I had it on lowest graphic settings,and I still saw the game in a panoramic view) Oh well, I didn't buy it, I was merely piggybacking on my bro's account.
I was going to get the CE, but I just don't have the money at the moment to pay 70 some dollars for a game(I'm pretty broke). Although those extra goodies do sound very enticing to buy. I'll have to think about it.
I was actaully considering going onto an RP server for that game, I figured it'd be cool to try it out, but then I figured it could also get awkward and weird, like being at the Renaissance fair for too long. Though I suppose the only reason I figured going onto one was because I get tired of seeing people with names like "SSJGoku", "Jdogg", and "Macfucker". Though I'm sure I'd still see those names on a RP server.
as much as i would love to buy the CE and play i dont think i will have either the time or cash until sometime next year.
