Weekly Roundup :: 8th - 14th September

Weekly Roundup
Open Beta & GOA
Many of the WAR community were dubious of Mythic’s decision to use GOA again to head up the European operations. This was down to the many problems that Dark Age of Camelot players faced with delayed patches, server crashes and general poor customer support. Unfortunately GOA fell at the first hurdle again with the WAR Open Beta. The website saw thousands of people flood the website, submitting requests to the validation and account creation servers bringing them to a grinding halt. The first day saw a minimal number of people make it onto the servers. The second day of OB was much the same. GOA were a bit better with more frequent news updates but not much changed. Cutting a long and tedious story short, people were able to submit their OB keys for authentication (which took FOREVER) and the masses finally made it onto the server.
The Shadowlords Society choose to play on the Ellyrion server for the duration of the open beta.

Open Beta & Shadowlords
Now that a lot more people from SS had finally made it onto the servers, we all travelled to meet Nibor at the capital, Altdorf. Here we formed SS for OB. Many of SS spent OB trying out various classes to see what they would roll when head start began. Healers are never going to be a problem to find now.

OB was very quiet on the news front. I imagine that very few major events are going to occur until the guild and rest of the players on the server start progressing to the higher tiers and end game where the RvR will have really developed. I for one am really looking forward to some keep raiding courtesy of the Shadowlords Society.
