Since we are celebrating the 3rd anniversary of Warhammer Online, I thought I'd take a look back. Below is the first post I made when WAR launched. It's still the character I play today, three years later. It's nice to think about how big the game was back then, when everything was new. This was originally posted on Monday, September 15, 2008.
My non-beta adventure in Warhammer Online officially began on Sunday with the Collectors Edition Head Start. Originally, they had planned to start it at 7am EDT, then 1pm, then 12. That worked out fine for me, as I did not have to get up early or anything.
Me and my fellow CoW's logged in as soon as the servers un-grey'd. I was able to secure 2 names I wanted, so that is good. I was on the Order side and had no queuing issues that others have had.
A recap of what I did:
- Werit the Dwarven Engineer arrives in Ekrund to take up the Oathbearer cause.
- Achieved battle Rank 5 and Renown Rank 4.
- Did most of the starting quests.
- Did the first PQ a couple times and maximized my Chapter 1 influence. Best finish was #3.
- Found a Plunger! It told me it was not secret enough and to go find others.
- Read through all of my Tome entries. Very neat stuff in there.
- Picked up Scavenging and Talisman making.
- Did a few Gates of Ekrund scenarios.
- Guild reached Rank 2 when I logged off.
- Total play time was about 2.5 hours.
That about covers it for Day 1.
