Who else here feels like Christmas is about to come early?!
I'll let you know after the expansion has been launched
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"
Played most the day yesterday... really enjoying Goblin fights so far. Only one person has tried to gank me, he was ethier a noob too or toying with me.
I was killing gobbos, two jumped me after a few other fights and I was out of stamina and down to 1/4th life. Seems I forgot the golden rule of open pvp... watch my six. So I ducked behind a mountain top, and popped a stamina pot ( Thank you Gobbos) and waited for him to get closer... to my luck BOTH of the gobbos I was hunting jumped him. Him occupied I started sniping him from the top of the mountain... arrows seemed to do little damage to him, and he was quickly done with the Gobbos and after me again. I had just enough stamina to reach the next mountain top when I hear MM's going off around me.. ( I love that you can hear them coming and dodge accordingly). I was in over my head.. and needed to get out, so I pulled out my club and board and started slowly walking towards town. He catchs up pretty quickly... beating on me with a Halberd(Spear/Polearm thingy) I exchange a few blows back with him.. and I guess in his eagerness to kill me ( or toy with me) he missed calculated a jump on the side of a cliff and fell half way down. Nows my chance! I have recovered just enough stamina to make it within arms throw of town... down to just walking again I turn behind me... No ones there.
Was a blast... Gobbos are fun to kill, still so much to learn about the game. I'd grind Gobbo mobs ALL DAY compared to the damn mobs I grinded in Aion, so much more rewarding fights.
Still need to hop in vent with some Pros and learn though
Wonder if anyone wants to hop in my vent to answer a few questions? =D
We're getting ready with the expansion as we speak. Only the EU servers will be going down in a few hours from now (4.30GMT) and they'll stay down for up to 24 hours. Obviously we'll do everything we can to minimize the downtime but it could take that long. Play-time lost will be reimbursed to all EU players.
The NA1 server will stay up during this time and the expansion will be applied right after the EU1 expansion. Downtime for NA1 will be relatively short.
This is the largest patch to the game ever, and we appreciate your patience while we make sure everything is running smoothly.

No offense to all of you waiting, but I hope that it doesn't get launched until 9:30 P.M. EST.
Sorry guys, but I have work until then : )
I'm bracing myself for huge bugs and week or two of server instability. After that, good gaming!
