he open beta for Warhammer Online started yesterday and was pretty exciting to say the least. I’ll folow up with a more detailed post, but here are some initial impressions and advice. Order is gonna be very heavy with White Lions. I was in one RVR group yesterday that was my Shadow Warrior and 5 White Lions. Getting to RVR is extremely easy and was a lot of fun. Destruction is going to have the numbers come opening day. My Shadow Warrior was a lot of fun and my second favorite class was the Warrior Priest. The noob areas are slammed! There were sometimes 5 or 6 people standing around waiting on some various monster to spawn so they could kill it for a quest. The play of the actual game is very much like World of Warcraft but Warhammer owns WOW when it comes to graphics. Warhammer has the real character feel like DAOC, not the cartoon feel of WOW. All in all it was a very exciting day. Everyone was enjoying the game and it seemed to be a pretty smooth first day of open beta. Lag was almost non existant and there were a ton of people online. The patcher was running overtime though so if you are downloading and installing the game over the internet don’t get too excited about your install finishing. You are still gonna have close to 200 MB’s left to patch and it took me about 2 hours yesterday.
