A New Game

It isn’t that I am bored with Eve and it isn’t that Eve is too much of a reputation grind at the moment. It is more that Warhammer is so easy. So a certain pod pilot is learning some skills in the background while the new incarnation of Slayfoe is crushing (or more accurately, being crushed) greenskins, gobos, orcs and snotlings.

WarHammer Online launched yesterday, it took FOREVER to load, patch and figure out the details. I tried to re-register Slayfoe but it turns out that the system remembered my name, email address and password from Beta. So I just pressed play and it allowed me to play. It appears that there are different US and Euro websites with different info on each – I haven’t found out how to register my CD key yet so I fully expect not to be able to play when I get back from a weekend away on Sunday evening.

Can’t believe that I am off sailing in Collanmore the weekend that Warhammer launches. I wasn’t going to play it but the temptation got too much during the week when Aileen phoned me up from town and asked if I needed anything. I eventually got into the game at 21:00 last night and went with the advised realm and side. So Slayfoe is an Ironbreaker, a dwif tank on Karad-Kharaz.

I am not sure my system is fully up to the requirements, it can get a bit jerky from time to time but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the experience immensely – I only got to bed at 02:35. I participated in a public quest (everyone can join in towards a goal) and a scenario (battleground in WoW speak), did lots of questing, unlocking parts of my Tome of Knowledge (brilliant idea) and not enough looking round.

I must say I am really looking forwards to Sunday evening and having a little go before bed.
