The only MMO i have ever played at launch was EQ2, and that is because it had a HUGE following at the time from EQ1 players(i was one of them). After time and people went back to the original or dropped of the game for wow it lost its appeals. Doesn't matter how "good" of a game it is; if it doesn't have the player base to make a good community in game than it isnt fun IMO. We'll see how it takes off, and how the community levels out before i consider making a switch to try it out.
Ya, thanks for that eggy. Grabbed myself a key last night and tried the game for a bit. So far its pretty decent. Not any different from any other mmo, but I am still in the early stages.
Unrelated note, I did make an macro that poses and says "I am Sailor Moon, the champion of justice! On behalf of the moon, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil... and that means you!"
So, as of right now, I do not know which server i will be rolling on. I plan to be playing with my Guild members from Warhammer, and that server debate is still on. I will post here as soon as I know. Probably by next friday at that latest, that is also the name/server event for pre-orders, will link to more news as I find it.
Open beta was a great success, made lvl 25, got inescapable justice(Templar stigma skill that is a 16m pull and slows target for 10 sec) , and pulled some sun suckers(hilarious NPC nickname for elyos) to their deaths in the abyss! All in all, I like the templar, although a very difficult class to play PvP. I may roll as an alt a cleric or chanter, haven't made up my mind yet.
I'm sticking with "Siel" since I am west coast. Can't vouch for anyone else. My cleric ended at level 24. It was a nice steady grind for me. My 18 ranger was a horrible experience but many rangers say that "ranger" starts at 19 since thats when you have all the necessary tools to own face. My last alt was a 14 SM, which was boring tedious and not fun. Definately sticking as a Cleric.
Also, does anyone know how Pre-select is going to work? (for the name reserve)
if that link doesn't work i'll try and repost the info, but its a list of known legions and where they plan on rolling. Also, West coast/east coast servers does not mean thats where they are physically located, its for time zone organization. and how they calculater instance timers in the abyss. http://i26.tinypic.com/263bqk2.jpg that is a diagram that shows when the instance will be open on the different servers, that is about the only real difference in east/west.
if they has the servers down for any reason you'd get that message, i think the character preselect ended at 9am today. but the servers will be live at 3pm est
