The Six Mouths

Preview Weekend Plans
Aug 21, 2008 - 9:47 PM - by Morskittar
UPDATED: PREVIEW WEEKEND+ AND OPEN BETA We will be playing on TODBRINGER opposite the Candymancers. This will be a rare opportunity to fight our Ordery bretheren, as we won't share a server on release. No spreadsheet this time, just join /channel TSM. Channels /1 and /2 are not on by default. You must turn them on to see any channel you've created. We'll create the Mouths (again) and give plenty of invite privileges, so make sure you join and stay in the channel.

Server Types: The No More NDA Poll

Aug 21, 2008 - 3:22 PM - by Morskittar

With the NDA down, it's time to talk rulesets. For those not aware:

Quote:

It has been confirmed that some WAR servers will be set up with alternative game mechanics to cater to the tastes of different groups of players. Common to all servers, however, is that it will not be possible for very high level players to enter low level territory and kill everyone in sight. Currently, the mechanic for preventing this literally turns high level players entering low level RvR (PvP) zones [READ: WHENEVER FLAGGED] into a Chicken (Order) or "Chaos chicken" (Destruction) with little or no combat ability. Only these server types have been confirmed for release:

Core Ruleset Standard game mechanics. RvR combat between players will be limited to RvR areas. Players will be able to flag themselves to fight enemy players in their own PvE areas if they wish and will automatically be flagged in enemy-controlled PvE areas.

Open RvR Players will be able to engage in RvR combat just about anywhere in the game world if they wish, with no need to flag or for others to be flagged to attack them. [THIS MEANS THAT ANY CHARACTER WHO GOES TO A LOWER TIER; EVER, WILL TURN INTO A CHICKEN]

Roleplay Players will be expected to follow additional rules governing character naming and in-character speech. They must essentially roleplay - act as if their character was a real character in the Warhammer World - as much as possible. Roleplay servers will follow the Core ruleset.
