It's just that the Tuesday downtime is until 1 pm eastern, which is bad for everyone on the east coast and many in the central.

Statistically, this time was the best to do maintenance as it had least amount of people on.

I often used to get screwed by City of Heroes downtime. As I was playing on an American server it was scheduled in the middle of prime gaming time in the UK.

It's understandable, but soooo annoying.

How's that? Most people on the east coast and central are not able to play until 4pm eastern at the earliest ... ie work or school

heh...how many people play WoW on lunch breaks.

Hint: Not many, which is why that time was when the least amount of people were on.

The economic modelling of w00tly swords and pwnage crowns is unparalleled. I think that you could save your department a fortune by implementing a programme of tasty buffs and beefing up the reporting at level-up.

Notice the Paladin in the last picture: It shows his "honour" title before the name (Private) and he's...L65.

HeHe...that Panda is of course an April fools joke. The story on the European site is that when you defeat a player in the new PvP honor system, you can loot him for "Warbucks" that you can turn in for a code that gives you free coffee in participating cafés around Europe.

What's interesting here is they photoshopped one of the images recently -- it said the guy was a L65 Human Paly, now it says 60.

They accidentally leaked a level cap increase coming in the pipes...

I'm finally playing now.

I must say that I'm awestruck. This game is soooo gooooood. I'm a dwarf warrior on Dragonblight (EU), and I'm level 7 now, after having played 4 hours yesterday.

What I like so much abiut this game is the seemingly unfinate possibilities it offers. You can follow the learning quests, that are designed to help new players level up quickly, while at the same time getting acquainted with the interface, and the World. Or you could decide to adventure on your own, without caring about the first quests.

This is my character, Hargir:



I'm in Kharanos now, after having completed all the quests in my starting area. I'm currently contemplating finding a party, to complete a quest called Frostmane Hold, which is really the first slightly dangerous quest, that could kill me. Maybe I'll try to solo it first, just to see if it is possible to complete alone.

Sweet stuff, Asmo. Post more screenies as you play. I wanna see the humble beginnings of a dwarf.

If I am impressed enough, that might even push me to buy a desktop and WoW.

PvE until I get the hang of it. Then perhaps I'll switch. It really depends on what my brother wants, though, since I'll be playing a lot with him

Can you switch painlessly? Thing is I want to PvP for an endgame but don't want to get endlessly ganked early on.

No, you're not able to switch from a PvE server to a PvP.
