Hello Old Friend

Warhammer has been an interesting experience. I have two views right now, the first being the game at launch and the second view seems to be in a pre patch lul the game is experiencing now.
When I initially re-signed up there were quite a few changes. The game has gone through 2 patches (Currently at 1.2) and some server merges. I logged in and discovered that many of my characters where named with with Xs after them, for example Squirrelxx and justdoitx. I believe that Xs where added after a server merge and showed that the server had had characters with those names.

My 15 Disciple of Khaine and 15 Zealot as well as a small number of alts were all on a server called vortex. I dove right in and figured the server changes wouldn’t really affect my game play.

I was wrong.

I played my DoK From 15 to 17 without so much as seeing another soul at a Public Quest and was able to join 1 to 2 scenarios at most. Discouraged by the lack of players of my level on the server I hit up some Warhammer sites to try to find a better one. The Warhammer Alliance Forum was a site I remember from before the game was even released and was still popular upon release due to Warhammer Online choosing not to release any official forums. It is still a pretty good source of information and only contains a fraction of the whining that the official servers have.

Quite a few of the informative posters seemed to be from Dark Crag so i gave it a shot despite it being Open RvR. I’ve rolled a Black Orc named Choppastompa and I’ve been having some fun there. There are quite a few players leveling there and the ORVR isn’t really as bitter/backbiting/grief ridden as wow was. Its mostly live and let live.

My Black Orc is now 13 and I’ll continue to push forward to reach a level where i can do some mass RvR, which is what led me to the game in the first place.
