Question about starting areas

Post#1 » Mon Sep 01, 2014 3:03 am

I remember playing Warhammer Online between late 2009 and early 2010, and noticed in this server how order characters start in the empire starting area and destruction characters start at the chaos starting area. I'm curious, is that something something to do with changes made to the official game that changed starting areas, or is that more to do with the development of the server?

Game is still fun, but I've been out of the loop with it for a while so don't know what things have changed there.

Thank you.

That was an official game change, can't remember which patch, but it was part of an effort to help population gaps. In the official game non empire/chaos characters had a book to send them to their original starting areas if they chose.

Yeah, It was on official servers, that all races were starting either in Order or Destro zone.

I want to ask if this will be on this server or do you plan to change and force races to start where they should?

Yes, I agree. I really miss the days in which every race started from their zones, following the plot's right order...

They are planning on releasing the other T1 areas sometime soon. Not sure when exactly, but I'm pretty sure before the end of the year. :D And yes I realise that is a bit off but they are working hard to fix all the problems they can.

PVE will be mediocre and RvR will be horrible if they spread out races like it was at launch. This is why they changed it and IMHO this change was an improvement for a RvR centric game like WAR/ROR

Pretty sure human instinct will draw people from all the other zones, to empire. As it has always done. Yes, they stopped the race tied spawn zoning and centralised it to empire.

Everyone will still go to empire for RvR, because that's what they remembered.
