Crappily awaiting the warhammer open beta!

Hi everyone my name is Mike and I've been playing games with my friends by Mythic Entertainment for a very long time, like back when centropolis.com was around and they had games like Godzilla Online, ID4, Magestorm, and Spellbinder (mypersonalfav). I've been an avid player as there successful mmorpg Dark age of camelot since it was in beta, and it was by far my favorite game of it's time simply due to the PvP/RvR system they had brought to the table.

This game Warhammer Online is the newest installment of Mythic Entertainment games that is going to be release Sept 18th, 2008 and I've been anxiously awaiting, just like hundreds of thousands of other players, for it to be released. Unfortunantly I never did receive a closed beta invite, but I'm not mad, I just don't have the funds like some fortunate people with awesome gaming rigs. Luckily for me the open beta is about to start this coming sunday and I will finally get to try the best pvp system ever made once again but in a cooler gaming world/setting.

Classes I plan on playing in this open beta will be ALL OF THEM, because honestly, they are all super BADASS! I don't think i've seen a class I haven't liked with all the youtube vids made by a lot of the closed beta players (Thanks by the way). This game is seriously gonna kick some ass and WoW needs to just move over. The classes from those vid's i've felt like trying the most are for the Order side. Shadow Warrior, Rune priest, Ironbreaker, Engineer and White Lion. So far for the Destruction side, Zealot, Sorceress, and the Witch Elf.

From the impressions from people i've talked to in ventrilo, they have reported this game is basically not a wow killer but a game for people that have the need for DAoC type pvp system with a little bit of a WoW feel! (BUT BETTER) If that doesn't make sense, it sucks to be you, but once you play this game you will understand exactly what I mean and take in and hopefully love this need breed of game for bashing heads in and giving glory to your respective realm.

So far I'm kind of leaning toward playing an order class but knowing me, I love to have a variety of toons to play so i'd imagine I'll roll order and destruction on two servers.

Stay tuned for this weekend as the open beta starts on sunday, and I'll for sure be posting my first impressions and let ya know what i've been trying/playing and some tips and tricks.

Btw this is my first blog ever so leave a comment ye' lot!
