CM, Are you sure the Blades should be a PvP guild? From what I understand, PvE also allows several forms of PvP. The RP servers are PvE servers with some additional guidelines to improve game immersion. So maybe a RP server would be better suited? At least, I think it might be something to consider.

I have read reports about friction between roleplayers and l33tspeaking others who accidently found themselves on a RP server. Some suggest this had to do with the RP realms beginning with the letter 'A' so that they are on top of the server list..

Personally - I would seriously consider the RP server if one for Europe comes up.
l337s are one major annoyance in my view in MMORPGs

And in my experience maturity is often more related to RP then to PvP

The RP server I am on is general rp'ers. Yeah its crazy crowded on the pvp servers... lots of everquest leet kiddies. The Rp servers every once in a while clash with the people who refuse to try to be in character. Its a lot of fun..

aaa... I wanna play as well

, hope that the final european beta will start soon as I can't stand this waiting much longer... as for RP vs PvP server, I think that I'm going to play on PvP first, and if that gets unbareable I'll prolly switch to an RP server.

December is the official word.
Nothing closer has been released as far as I know.

I hope it lasts long enough that I can download all the many GB of data

If you have ADSL it takes 2 days - 48 hours max.

If nothing goes wrong and I can download at optimal speed - I should be able to down it in less then 24 hours (around 20-21).
However - that is incredible unlikely - and I do expect having to use a few days on it

I hope there is some sort of download manager build into the neasecary download program when the time comes ....
99.5% completed. Error encountered - restarting download

LMAO!!! I have felt that pain so many times. Luckily they use BitTorrent, so there are no problems whatsoever. You can download at like 30 kbps or higher on a ADSL. Who said hackers aren't good people

PvP server hijacking.. in Europe?

Regarding the issue of on which type of server to play: I read there was an interesting development in the US. Roleplayers wanted the ability to play on a PvP RP server in stead of a PvE RP server. After Blizzard said that they would look in to the matter but people should not expect something soon, a bunch of roleplayers sort of hijacked two of the PvP servers. Many RP guilds moved there within a short time, and according to reports it has gone quite well, as there is a high percentage of people who try to stay 'in character' (IC).

Interesting questions now are:
- Will there be PvP RP servers in Europe to start with?
- If not, will there be a coordinated hijacking effort by roleplayers?
- Will the BoTB be in effect on the European open beta trial and if so, what kind of server will we choose?

I have pre-ordered the game, so i will be in the final beta trial. I personally dont mind which server we play on. It would be great if we can RP and PVP. If that is possible then i suggest we choose that server. PVP is great and Roleplayers tend to be a very mature breed. Very few l337 h@xx0rz around etc.

RT is handling the US side of things by default. We have no hierarchy right now. Basically the 4 who will play BotB EU decide. So place your votes people.

I have also pre-ordered, at a web shop where I buy most of my software. Does it matter where you pre-order to be eligable for the final beta?

As for which server, I think we don't have to decide that now, we can wait for more details on the European servers.

As far as I know the pre-beta is only availabel in 7 european countries. People have been complainging about not being able to get the final-beta in Belgium/The Netherlands/Luxembourgh and manay more. Blizzard I think has just noted this fact and moved on.
