ATTENTION:

Heroes of the Universe is gonna play OB on East Coast Server 16 (PVP). See you guys there (those that got in) and for those who haven't GOOD LUCK!!

I'd have posted earlier but we just got back from waiting in line for Halo 2 at Gamestop with over 500 people (literally).

-Lasereth

Cool, I've been playing on East Coast 16 for a couple of days now. I have a lvl 16 pally named Nemoh. I think I'm going to keep with the pally for now.

I hate to discourage you, but it took me 3 days to download the client on a 5 megabit connection. :( It DOES have a lot to do with network settings though, so I'd open the recommended ports on your router.

If you want to know which class ya wanna play I can give ya a recommendation. Just tell what kind of gamer you wanna be!

-Lasereth

Lasereth, you keep on forgetting to include your username! I'll try to see if I can find you there. My acc is Ever.

I don't forget to include it, it's that I haven't even logged in yet. :) I have a key but haven't been able to activate my account due to the long-ass Halo 2 wait. :thumbsup: I'll probably be in-game tomorrow.

-Lasereth

I don't remember anything about opening ports on my router... Do you have any more info on this? also, do you know what it's uploading?
Am I sending this installer out to another person as soon as I get it?
I am DLing at 44kbs, and at this rate, it will take 14 hours to get it all (24%) If I can speed this up any, I really want to know how. Either way, see you all in there... eventually.

I had hoped to be playing by Tuesday, since I have the next couple days off work, but I guess not... Oh well.

I was leaning towards a mage class, since I've been a melee in another MMORPG. I didn't want to be a healer (not my play style, I can't stand it when people die and it's my fault), mage didn't seem all that appealing, shaman seemed too focused on parties, and druid was only for 2 races, neither of which I wanted to be. So I started to focus on Warlock. Warlock really goes well with my style, and just looks like a riot to play. My only problem is with the soul stone requirements, and how you can only get them off of honorable kills. I'm definitely going on a PvP server (in WoW, it's PvP server or don't bother playing), and many have said Warlocks run out quickly with no way to get more if you're fighting in a low level zone. So that's why I wanted to try it out, and a couple of other classes as well, before I sink a bunch of hours into a class that's excellent in PvE, but not so hot in PvP. Suggestions?

Well I am on DSL and its d'ling at 100KB/sec so do not be discouraged. And i got my key....woot!

edit: the ports it told me to open were 7881-7999, 3724-3724 and 6122-6122 in the port range. I dunno if my router is different in this aspect but i hope it helps.

Yes! I got my key! Well, now that I've gotten that, I don't have to worry about missing out. I just have to wait days until it finishes downloading...

Lol no rush to get the game guys. I'm finally in and it's such a slow moving game that it was like hitting a brick wall from spending so much time stressing about. It'l come, and when it does, join server 16 east coast so we can blast together ;)

It was 5 hours ago when I first posted about the download, then it was at 2%, now it's at 12%. So by my calculations it will take about 45 more hours to finish the download. The routers might have something to do with the slow downloads, but I forwarded the ports it asks for to the best of my ability and it still complains about being behind a firewall and tells me to forward them. Maybe it would be more effective to drive down to Irvine and raid Blizzard HQ for a disc. ;)

At 43% now....

Hopefully it will be done by the time I get home from work. :)

I have a few questions and I hope this is the right thread for this: 1) How and where can I sell all of my excess loot? My inventory is quite full (even with two bags) and I could certainly use some extra dough. Second, I have some staffs and axes that I would very much like to use but I don't have the skill/abilities to use them. I am a level 10 Night Elf Warrior (I started playing on Sunday) and this is my first attempt at such a game so I apologize if my questions are silly. Thanks for any help and or suggestions you can offer. Thanks.

P.S. I am known as The Eremite so say hello.

I'll wager that if you know what you're doing then Warlocks are probably the best PVP class in the game. They're incredibly powerful with their fear spells! I've not played a Warlock so I can't tell ya how bad the Soulstone thing is but I've *never* seen another Warlock complain about it.

-Lasereth

Go to a vendor that sells stuff and right click ln him or her. Then right click on any item in your inventory that you want to sell and you'll get money for it. You have to go to staff and axe trainers to use those items...can't tell ya where those trainers are, but they're in every major city (only played a warriot to 12).

-Lasereth

Alright guys, I've created!

Lasereth - Night Elf Priest
Razerwind - Night Elf Warrior

See ya'll in-game tonight after my terrible stats exam!

-Lasereth

No west coasters??? Im on Server #14, Pacific. I am loving this game so far..I've gotten my Orc Hunter up to 21, I love the class...people say it's gimped but now that the talents are in things are better. I can solo quite well and in dungeon instances I can do great damage as long as I don't grab aggro. I also took up engineering/mining as a profession. Oh man can you make some cool stuff. I've been making target dummies and just dropping them in towns to see peoples reactions to a waving wooden guy. If you're on Pacific 14 look me up, name is Malarchuck.

If you're just starting off DO THE QUESTS!!! I cannot stress how good these are for exp!!! If you're just out there killing monsters you're missing out on about 50% of the exp you can be getting. Most of the things you are killing are involoved in some sort of quest.

West coast here well close enough was planning on a west coast server in AZ..dl status 39% 9 more hours to go..

You guys might as well play east coast if you're playing alone! I'm in California but play these games to be with friends so I'm hoping to hook up with the other guys like Lasereth and RedJaket and maybe Crackprogram if he ever finishes downloading ;)

Ever -Account on Sever 16 PVP East
Ever - Human Mage

Probably will resort to playing evenings but maybe an occasional daily session during the week.

Also don't you people know....GOOD IS DUMB!!

FOR THE HORDE!!

Hierofaris - Human Paladin - East Coast Server 13 (PVP)

Hidesix - Human Warlock - East Coast Server 16

Damn, that game is addicting =D

Get yourself in Sever 16 bud, it's where all the cool TFP'ers hang out ;)

When I created my account, there were Roleplaying servers. Could anyone explain how these servers are different than others?

edit: Nevermind. Found the topic

All I have to say is... It took me no less than 12 different usernames to finally get one to register that wasnt already taken. And we are talking obscure stuff--I broke out the Silmarillion appendices and started trying random names. Eventually I just ended up having to tack a shit ton of number on the end of a name. I felt like I was on AOL trying to register a screenname...

and here I sit, only 56% complete dling...

74% Done now.

90%. So sweet!

The WoW downloader (Blizzard issued) has caused my PC to reboot 3 times,ended up downloading from Fileplanet,which errored out after two hours of waiting.


Looks like I'm getting it over the Network from a friend whose brother was in CB.

WoW,why do you taunt me so? :(

Goddammit...I'm sitting at 42% after about 24 hours and bored as hell. I connected straight to my modem since I kept getting a "Firewall detected" message whenever I was connected to my router. But instead of speeding it up, it just made it a more reliant 10kp/s...So frustrating considering how long I've been waiting for this game.

Barm - Taruen Warrior Eastern Server 24 (PvP). Hey, <i>someone</i> has to play Horde, right? :)

Where's the love? Whispered you tonight but didn't hear back from ya.
Loving the game so far though. Really falling for the basical controls and enviornment.

After a full nights work, I've gotten my NE hunter up to lvl 8. WHAT A GREAT GAME

What is your nick in the game -Ever-? I'll be there in a bit!

I'm downloading the client now...probably 6 hours left or so.

Damn, Once you finish downloading, expect an hour or so to install!

been playin for about a week now.
great game ..

Dammit If'n you ain't right! Been like 30mins installing so far, and I'm only about half done.

Edit: This Vexes me, I am vexed. WoW installed, and now it hangs, and I can't play. It just hangs. Windows says "Program Not responding" Should I uninstall? I don't want to wait for it again
Anyone else have this problem?

Open Beta Launched Today, Open Beta Download Finished Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow... How did some of you get this done so fast? 30 hours later I'm at 62%. If Blizzard uses this downloader for retail patches I'm going to refuse to buy WoW on principle. SOE may have ruined EQ but at least they're not too cheap to pay for bandwidth. Vivendi must be responsible.

Hey Ever I whispered you last night and didn't hear back :) I thought I heard you asking about getting tetanus in Westfall last night...while I was busy getting slaughtered by Van Cleefs minions. (we never even saw Van Cleef)

/Nemoh : East Coast 16

Mountain 29: BearClaw lvl 10 night elf druid

It must have gone by unnoticed while I was fighting or something. Very coincidental that you were in the area to hear me mention tetanus, that was me alright, and it was my first time in Westfall and I stayed for about 5 minutes before I realized it was way too advanced for my lvl 9 mage ;)

I might be on a little bit this afternoon and then on the weekend for sure!
