    I wish there was just more to character development, then this game would be really really good, rather than just a casual bit of fun.
    Isn't the open beta free?

      The open beta is closed to sign-ups. However, my preorder lets me play on the live servers for the 10 days before the official launch (and we preorder players are not capped at level 15 either)

        I'm a pre-order and I'm capped at 15?

          Ah, I just thought - the EU release is being run by a different company to the US release. Probably explains the different system.

          Yes, a different COMPANY. Codemasters have bought the rights to run the servers and distribute the software in the EU.

            IMO Europe has a preorder (not capped, I'm 16 myself and there are people approaching 30 on the server), while North America has a capped open beta.

              In the US/Canada, this is how it worked:

              Pre-order customers could play April 30th up til its release, can carry over their characters to the live game, can subscribe @ 9.99/mo.

              Open beta customers just were restricted to joining a week later, can't carry over their characters, but don't pay anything.

              Both are restricted to L15 max in the beta.

                  We EU preorder people also get a "founder" option, either to get a lifetime subscription for € 159 (IIRC) or a 6 months subscription for € 8.99 per month. I probably won't take either option, I doubt I'll play for longer than 2 months.

                    We get the Founder option as well, but for cheaper.

                      Yours is $199 or $9.99 per month IIRC (which wouldn't make much of a difference, it's just our higher VAT kicking in), or do you pay in canadian dollars?

                        Wow, our deal sounds better. That doesn't happen very often.

                          What I tremendously like, is the integrated group speak. No need to bother with alt-tabbing Skype or TS.

                            EVE added that recently. In the intense PvP it isn't necessarily a good thing to have the two linked (in the big several hundred person battles people lose connection often). In a PvE game, I would imagine it would be really nice.

                              Yeah, it's about time this became standard.

                                Post some screens!

                                If this game is good enough to unhook me from WoW, then I'll get it.

                                It's not that I enjoy WoW immensly, because I don't. I just need something to keep myself occupied or else I will be stalking girls.
