KDS have chosen to go on Wildsoul.
This is one of only two pvp servers available for early access. Kris, let your guys know.

Remind me when the games out? Can i for the record also say that i think WAR will have far more lasting appeal, a greater overall experience, has tried more new things, and doesnt have a lame combat system tailored to an xbox 360 pad, but under the guise of being "revolutionary" and "intense". Just wanted that somewhere to point out in like, 9 months time whenc i'm proven right

If you have it pre ordered and have early access then the servers go live at 5pm GMT on Saturday. Game is officially released on the 23rd. WAR may indeed be better when it comes out and I am indeed looking forward to trying it, but on the basis that it is not out for quite a while yet and that I have not really bought/enjoyed a new game since CoD4 I have to give Conan a solid try.
Oh yeah, I'm installing it now.

Some facts about this pre-play thing:
Firstly... It's not free.. I believe you have to pay $5 for the honour of playing 3 days in advance.
And secondly, you have to download the full client to play in advance Stuart.. So that's approx a 10gb download... You can't simply update the Beta one to retail version - According to there forums.

There was also a finite amount of advance play keys, which they didn't advertise. They are now sold out, and people have still been preordering to get access, unawares its sold out. Que lots of angry customers on the forums. Strike 1

Can't hold that against them - I'm sure it states on the retail stores "*whilst stocks last" to cover there asses..
...Just like every other promotion in the world states.

It would say "includes early access pre-order key", given most retailers, online especially, just charged $5 more and included the keys with every pre-order. So, people continued to pre-order, even though the keys we're gone. It forced Funcom to post on the forums that they we're sold out. But this is the best bit. Fucking noob MMO developers make me laugh. Cause they we're sold out, one way they made sure people understood this was to take down the early registration page. But not everyone who actually had an early access key had yet to register it! LOL!

Have no time to play this so not missing anything at the moment. I'll wait and see how the first month goes and decide then.
If at the end of month 1 the content is good, leveling is still fun, pvp works and lag isn't an issue I'll talk to the lady about us signing up for it.
I'm not sold on Warhammer or Conan enough to get either of them without community and player reviews, and everyone else paying for the first month play test. (which is what all first months are)..

Si you've fallen behind on your info there matey. Firstly its 6 days advance now as they moved the Euro pre order advance to coincide with the US one. Everyone starts tomorrow. Second the sodding download is now in excess of 14gb ouch!. My P.C. was downloading non stop for nearly 3 consecutive days without a break, sodding shitty internet.

The info I gathered, was just from the beta period.
Do you still have to pay extra?

Post by ticks on May 16, 2008 14:33:59 GMT
Yes you do still pay and you get a total of 10 days extra for the 5 euros. 6 before and 4 after. I don't care if war is better, it's not out yet and I need my mmo fix!!

They never change So me and Greebo Si we're having the conversation re: Conan last night at an engagement party, mainly around KDS, the old SWG days, rDe/TSA etc etc. So, we're defo gonna give it a go, at least for the first free 30 days, if only for potential nostalgia (for me at least). If we can hook up with a decent guild like KDS or whatever and therefore get active in some of the higher end stuff, then that'd be cool. I'll pre-order it today, but won't expect to actually receive the game until thursday (due to it being a friday release date this week).
