That would be for our husband - we're in a triad marriage.
(To answer the two questions that immediately crop up every time - 1. No, we're straight [well, she leans toward bi, but knows she can't actually live with another woman]; 2. No, we're not all "legally" married - can't do that, in the States at least - but we're married where it counts, in our hearts.)
On Darrowmere, watch out for Veryniceguy, Morganamaeve, and Deathzareus (pronounced "Deaths'R'Us", but I guess he couldn't use the punctuation in the name)...

To elaborate just a bit on this, imagine taking the time-tested World of Warcraft formula, taking out everything that was ever crap about it (such as waiting three hours to find a tank or healer for an instance you end up not doing. I wish I was joking.) and add in comprehensive, strategic RvR. Some people will say "Strategy in an mmo? In pvp no less? You must be insane." But trust me, I play Order on the vortex server, and when I get on ventrilo with a couple of my guildmates and actually make an attempt to win, we win every time. Strategy, although rarely implemented, is key. For six months I played WoW so fanatically that my health started deteriorating, and in my first day of Warhammer Online I had more fun than in that entire half year put together. I'm not saying WoW is a bad game, just that I believe WAR is better.

WARHAMMER!? WITH THE WAR AND THE HAMMER AND THE THING WHERE THE GUY SMASHES THE THING AND HE LIKES TO PWN THAT THAT THING WHAR HA HA HA! (lol search for "Bill Cosby Pokeyman" and you get my joke
)
Well I reckon the same thing happened to WoW when it was 1st release like it wasn't too hard to find ppl to play with. What I'm trying to say is the same thing that happens to WoW now, is eventually gonna happen to Warhammer: Online I reckon.
And I'm not disagreeing with ya, don't get me wrong, just giving my opinion. And whatever makes you happy mate

As for the Warhammer criticism, I can fully expect that it will eventually deteriorate (community-wise) into the senselessness of solo grinding and watching your experience bar slowly rise in indirect proportion to your social skills, but if you're like me and enjoy mmorpgs in general, you really should try out WAR. You just might find something fantastic.
lol exp bar rise in direct proportion to your social skills, good one
Hmmm I just don't want to waste money on something I'm not gonna play often and besides I'm in a pretty kick ass guild in WoW, the people there are awesome the most friendly I met in an online gaming community, so it'll be sad to leave them for WAR. But I dunno mebe I might give it a try one day.

I just don't like WoW because of all the things in it that are massive wastes of time and take away from the experience overall, such as: sitting around for several minutes waiting for your health and mana to regenerate after a battle, searching for groups, grinding exp off of spiders, waiting for battleground queues and the like. The thing I hated the most, however, was raiding. I may be missing the appeal of fighting for half an hour against a single mob that has health points somewhere in the 580 billion range in an attempt to get raid gear that you have, say, a 1-100000 chance of getting... and I can understand that many people would rather fight against a computer than other players, but in my opinion, pvp is where the experience is at. Players will always be players, and though the game will become more complex as you gain levels, you know at least that the enemy doesn't have some kind of secret weapon or impossible-to-know infinite stat pools.
Yeah I hate sitting to regen mana/hp too, yeah group search can be a pain..... but that's why ppl recommend you join guilds = easier to find group. Hmmmm WoW were smart about the exp grind, it's not a continuous grinding off mobs to get exp, they offer a variety of different quests for you to do, and you get pretty big chunks of exp off them, and besides get a lv 70 to help ya questing makes you get exp quicker
Yeah raiding can be quite stressful and the loot you want might not always drop
Or if it does and someone else wants it, you have to compete over it... But meh that's what guilds are for to minimise this problem. OMG! PvP.... :S Depends what battlegroup you're in (every few servers is part of the same battlegroup), some where alliance dominates, or horde, or balance.... the one I'm in horde dominates So it sucks to lose.....lol some bosses do have secret wpns.....

Just picked up WAR yesterday. I am having a blast! pvp at lvl 3 and actually held my own. Something I had a hard time doing in pvp in Wow even at high levels.
I think I might like this game! I'm sad though. My husband can't play yet because he needs a better video card.

Leveling 1-3 times a day, with the cap being 40, I doubt you'll ever need to solo-grind.
Renown cap is 80, but you can't exactly solo-grind that. It's more of a PvP thing.
