So... there are going to be more servers added? Or the population cap on the servers increased?

Because we noticed that one of the servers is already full, and doing the math... the math isn't good for tonight if all the testers + those invited for preview weekend try logging in.

That's probably why they wanted to be in their offices before they started the launch. I wouldn't stress it unless you start getting kicked out or lagging very badly.

Not stressing over individual play, that's for sure. I'm more stressing over trying to co-ordinate everyone in the guild, people who will be starting to play at various times today; trying to get everyone on the same server may prove to be a challenge if they all fill up fast.

They had 23 servers up last night, so I imagine as things fill up they will bring those online.

This will help them with determine when new servers need to be brought up, as a training exercise for Release when they have to do the same thing.

And for all the folks with login issues.

Are you entering your Warhammer Account info?
When you created the Master Account, you created a Warhammer Account too. Its user/pass could be different.

something about not having to work on a Friday and being able to play WAR all day is so great. Patching now, remember to use you game login and not your master account login.

Ooops, our guild has planned on playing on Tyrion, then this morning it tricked us by not having it available. Oh well, to Barak Varr we go.

Will my CE CB characters from abhorash still be available? or no?

jgame

08-22-2008, 06:38 AM

I'm at 27% for the download still, gotta wait for another 20 hours, but then I'll be at work tomorrow, so I won't be able to play until 6pm tomorrow. Worst thing is the fact that if my computer didn't shut itself off yesterday, I could be playing it right now on my DAY OFF!

They said that CB were automaticaly invited for PW, so you won't receive any new invitation

I got up early this morning just to check and was able to play for about 1/2 hour before work.

Not calling in sick was immensely hard. I'm pretty sure I have to go home ill at lunchtime. *coughcough*

It looks great though!! Good luck logging in everyone! :-D

Just wait till later in the day, that's what I'm doing.
The Dwarf area wasn't laggy for me, but I'll be damned if I could get a quest finished.

Hi all, so the servers are all up? How is it that when I check the beta center, it says that all the servers are "closed"? Is it just because they haven't updated the site? I am not a pre-order customer by the way, but I was invited to closed beta (I know we get invited to the weekend preview automatically)..... so maybe that's why?

Panzermeyer

08-23-2008, 07:38 AM

Ok, I have the CE pre-order, I made a master account and activated all my keys and it says I have the preview weekend access, so how do utilize it? I have received an email from mythic saying my account is set up, but that is it.

If I have access to the preview weekend, how can I play?

I've downloaded the file with bittorent through the email and it's finished! YAY!

But now when I try to find it on my computer by selecting browse directory it says it refers to a location that is unknown! What the...I spent 3 days downloading this on and off and now it says that the file isn't even on my computer!

Can anyone help me

When I log on to the Oceanic server I'm seeing 600-700 people and the US servers up around 1500-2000 per server. Does this mean that alot of us Aussie/Kiwi's are still having problems getting the game downloaded? 600 does not seem a lot if they recon that they sold so many thousand pre-orders. I know for myself I only managed to get to level 4 before I had to go back to work again today. Not much of a weekend.

But thank you Mythic for actually giving us a count of how many are online. So much better than "Medium Server Load" :D
