Important Information and Q&A!

[Methos]

I see this thread more as an official announcement that Requiel and Imaad are the Community managers for our servers, so congratulations, and i wish you both the best of luck, it won't be an easy task!

But from what i've seen so far from GOA on this forum and the beta i'm positive about GOA and the game and i think we're in for some fun!

PS: Both no internet during the weekend? They better be some pretty special ladies then!

If the faq is in the process of being translated why not put up the english one first since 90% of the customerbase do read english and make a temporary post for the other languages saying to look at the english while the other languages are in the process of being translated.
However updating it only once a year is way to slow as it doesn't take long (given that it is properly programmed)

On Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning everyone can create Accounts, though before the maintenance last wednesday the account creation failed for a few people.
Entering the email under 'Forgotten Password' yields no results in this case, yet Account-Names and Nicknames appear to be in-use. Do these 'dead' accounts get cleaned up before release?

Ladies and Gentlemen... please don't spam this thread with smilies. If a question has been asked it doesn't need repeating, and the GOA folks will find it much easier to get through your questions in an orderly manner.

Thanks.

Why is GOA making WARalliance the inofficial official forum and not freddys house?

Will there be a Realm War map where we can check the frontier status whilst at work?

[Hazeroth]

why we have 24/7 support in US?
why we have all informations about servers status, problems minutes after crashes/down.
why we know when servers will be up again?
why we dont have to wait 2 days until people will come to work to fix things?
and last question, do you really expect me GOA to pay YOU for this kind of support you are serving?

[Howley]

Q: If we in EU download the US client will it be the same thing as downloading from the EU mirror?

the reason i ask is goa and mythic mentioned already that US and EU will go live together, patch together, both have in game support 24/7 etc. so both quite similar, so surely the coding isnt too far off?
Maybe just have to change a line in update.dat to make sure when it is patched it patches towards EU server names... or is it just wishful thinking

cheers

Greetings IanC and MagnusK,
Here are my questions;
1/ When will the SE pre-order details be released?
2/ When will we get a fully functional and informative website?
3/ Do you think it's a good marketing strategy to keep potential EU customers (many of whom are mmorpg veterans, that have seen the good,the bad, and the ugly)in the dark regarding even the most elemental logistical and time-line related questions? Even a rough outline would help stop the prolific confusion.
4/ What time is love?

[Idris]

Can we have never-ending bowls of custard just for being in Europe and not having access to the prizes from Road-to-WAR?

Can we have some of the Mythic merchandise for sale via your site?

Is there any update on contents of the CE package?

[Skorn]

Cont....
5/ Are the Pre-order details on this website correct, or are they just as confused as the rest of us?

Mmmm, never-ending bowls of custard.

I fail to see how you could support such a notion, given the amount of attention both me and Iain devote to Freddys. If you compare mine and Iain's activity on Freddy's and WHA, I'm sure you would agree. It is our outspoken aim not to have an inofficial official forum. The community here at Freddys is very valuable to us and I don't see this changing.


Blessings,
Magnus

1- What are the realistic chances any of the removed classes or cities will be reinstated by the end of the year? If not, do you have any idea when Mythic plan on working on this issue and resolving it?

2- How many servers will there be? Will there be a population cap on these servers, and if so, what will that cap be? If there is a cap, will it be on created characters, or number of accounts allowed to create characters on any given server?

3- How many English speaking servers will there be? If the population dwindles over the years, are these servers capable of being clustered at a later date?

4- Will WAR be released in console format? If so, which formats?

5- How do GOA propose to enforce the age restriction for the game?

6- Do Mythic plan on providing regular free content updates as is the case in some modern MMO's?

7- Do GOA plan on running any inpromptu events on the EU servers? Are you allowed to do such things?

8- What will GOA's stance be on cheating, bug abusing, gold farming, verbal abuse and other such serious issues? Will GOA be using a "Punishment that fits the crime at the time" approach, or a more rigid and structured approach. For example, if players know "Doing A = 1 week suspension" and "Doing B = Account Ban" then they know the limits from the start and are less likely to commit such acts.

9- What will be GOA's stance on the naming policy (if indeed there is one)?

[Nibor]

10- will goa emplyes are allowed to use the toilett? and much more important, when?

Thank you Magnus for replying.
When i read the Official q&A thread on WARalliance, i believe, the thread here wasent up, so i jumped to a conclusiion, apparantly to fast.
Or it might be the fact that the OP just copy/pasted the open letter...and so did all other forums? I dont know as i only frequent this and WARalliance.

Again thank you for the response and if i jumped to a wrong conclusion i apologize.
