I'm sure (as with most other things) the community will come up with massive resources of what stuff will end up looking like with different dye combinations. This dye project was supposed to achieve just that while the game is still in beta so people wouldn't mind donating. I hope it picks up again in the April BEW so we can get something productive out of it all. Of course, a preview option would be ideal.

Having said all that, I'm not too fussed about looking different .. I just dyed Flo all blue at the beginning and left it at that :shrug:

I'm stil perplexed as to how the fuck I'm supposed to get iron ingots or where to buy new items. There aren't any stores, just crafters. :dork:

Salavage items Trans. Take any weapon you can't use/sell/trade and use a salvage kit on it. You'll get common crafting materials. Use an expert salvage kit to get rare crafting materials or runes/upgrades.

Pretty nice.

Any final word on whether or nor we'll be able to trade our pre-order items? If not, would anyone want to trade keys? I'll be getting the Kanthan Targe (shield) but would like the Ithas Bow or Chimeric Prism.

I'm preordering from EBGames.com and will most likely play a Warrior (definitely not a Ranger), so I'll trade with ya. EB gets the bow.

Which of the fansite forums actually gets read by the dev team, if any? I'd like to suggest adding widescreen and/or custom video modes. 856x480p 4xAA or 1920x1080i no AA might be fun to play on my TV.

All of the Elite forums get read by the devs, but I've seen them be pretty active on The Guild Hall forums.

You can have widescreen if you play in windowed mode. That's what I did.

You been reading the stuff regarding the various "Worlds" mate?
'pparently, there are going to be 4 regions to choose from when you create your account:
American
Asian
European
International

If a team from one of the regions holds the Hall of Heroes, it opens portals to special quests and areas for all players of that region.

I'd like to suggest that as we're all spread liberally round the globe, it would probably be best signing ourselves up to the International region come release...

Yea I was a little afraid of that too, but it turns out I was confused as to how Worlds at War works. You sign up for one of the worlds when you create your account. But you can still visit any of the international districts at any point in time. You know how at the moment you see International Districts and Korean Districts? Well in the final game, suppose you join the Europe world, you'll then see International Districts and European Districts. People from the American, European and Korean districts will be able to PvE together at any time in the International Districts. However, the extra unlocked content will only be present in whichever District the team holding the Hall of Heroes is from.

I know that the Australian community will be joining the American Districts (mainly due to the language barrier in the European ones, you'll have French fags and Schiesekopfs rampant in the Euro Districts). Dunno if you guys want to do the same. It'll all be the same in terms of pings and whatnot since the physical servers are present all over the world. Not to mention that the American teams are the ones most likely to hold the Hall of Heroes for the longest. I've heard the Korean teams don't hold up too good against the rest of the world, and the Euros don't stand a chance. I believe all the top guilds consist mainly of North Americans at the moment.

I was gonna say .. but then I thought he could have installed Xfire only last week or something. I've clocked 140-150 hours so far in the WPE & last 3 betas.

If you still want in Memph, I think Game may be stocking the pre-order package now; they've got it listed on their website at least. I was gonna suggest Gameplay.co.u, but to get a key sent to you, you needed to pre-order before today...
