There are like one hundred quests, active, important, necessary quests in these cities. This is not like any other cities in any other game. These things have so much stuff in them that we want to get them out there and let people play in them.

Aww man I was looking forward to the different faction cities.

Yeah man, i loved my Choppa mostly for the dual wield hulking orc athstetic but if they make the black orc dps mastery line encompass that with some berserking abilities im cool with it.

Edit: Yeah the city cut to me isn't as big of a deal after seeing them. "I mean the amount of content in them is huge" quote is an understatement imo.

Mark: Yes there is, that is the plan absolutely. We mentioned earlier about the Black Orc. If you follow the melee line, we hope that that replaces some if not all of the Choppa for now.

Huh, well this could end up being a good thing for me. Black Orc it is.

Damnit!

Just an FYI, if you were let in from the guild beta you'd either have a shitload of keys (as a leader) or you would have to know someone who got those keys and get them to give you one. Then you add it to your account and wait for an email to set you up.

I was looking forward to the different faction cities.

I don't think anyone wasn't but I have to agree with their line of thinking there. It's better than what happened at WoW release with every city but Ironforge/Orgrimmar being little more than stopping off points for newbies and the occasional gryphon/windrider stopover.

I agree. I'm happy that Mythic has the balls to man up about cuts before release. I'll be a squid herder, only because my friend has a hard-on for this game and wants me to join in on the fun.

What disturbs me is the fact that a handful of people had a cow when Blizzard supposedly stole siege weapons, cut hero classes and raped their children during beta, etc. It's good to see people are being so forgiving with and a few cuts in content that was guaranteed and set in stone, right guys?

And yeah, I'm sour about it because I was portrayed as a Blizzard fanboi for pointing out that Blizzard didn't promise certain content on the box that players bought from them. I guess being the big boy of the MMO industry gives every schmuck the license to QQ about their non-existent false advertising and naughty PR. Either that or nobody's ever happy, even when they are playing a quality game.

Well the last 2 mmo's i bought and played besides WoW were Vanguard and AoC, so yeah, cut some shit out if that will keep WAR from being a special ed class of content and gameplay at release.

AoC did this, removed the lich and gave some of the abilities to the Tempest of Set. It vastly overpowered this class, I hope Mythic does not make this mistake.

Do Dwarfs get longer beards and do Orcs get bigger still like they said with levels?

The beard's im not sure about, but im 90% sure after going from a level 10 to a level 40 Black Orc last night that i grew at least 25% but that may have been the armor changing i dont know.

Reading that interview on TTH it makes you hope they'll replace the Hammerer with the Slayer for the dwarves. Then again they are brooding solitary suicide seekers, so they probably would not fit with the RvR armies anyway.

To be fair, Albion was also the most complete realm at launch. Playing Hib, then Albion was like night and day. Holy shit, a quest that didn't involve FedEx, and a dungeon that isn't a shitwalled cave!

And since Witch Elf is female only the mangina can even claim they're only doing it for the class

Hey if the starting areas are interesting and varied enough at launch its all good. When EQ2 launched I was sick of Common lands, felt like I spent 3 weeks there.
