So I've been playing the CoH beta since I pre-ordered the game on Saturday. Very nice so far. I know that some other folks are going to be playing and even talked about an EC guild. With that in mind here's the list of initial servers:

"Justice"
"Pinnacle"
"Virtue"
"Liberty"
"Guardian"
"Infinity"
"Protector"
"Victory"
"Champion"

Since with got 8 days until official launch and only 5 days for those who are going to take advantage of the "head start" period begins, we need to get decidin' what the "official" EC server is gonna be.

I'm for any of them. I'm going to be a Magic Controller for my primary character I think..though might change once I test out the system. Just got my open Beta email...1-2 days before Open beta closes, though I do have it Pre-ordered too.

"Prime" is going to be the test server, once the game goes live. I'm probably going to keep one character there.

I'm also looking to make a character either on Guardian, or on Virtue. I'm not sure which, yet.

come play on Guardian. Virtue is set to be the unofficial RP server, and we all remember what happens when a server is declared an RP server.

Alright, Guardian it is. Someone tell Timpofee who is Xearx on Prime that most people are going there. It'll take me another hour to download but it's also getting late so I doubt I'll be able tom play much tonight if at all.

Either Virtue or Guardian, planning to play a Mutant Ice Blaster and a Technological Dark Melee Scrapper.

Also, I heartilly recommend everyone plan on taking a transportation power pool, as the ability you get at level 14 is invaluable. I haven't tested Super Speed, Teleport (well, I have teleport foe, but not self), and have only played a little with hover, but I do use Super Leaping. Able to clear a little over 100 yards per jump is love, both for travel, avoiding things that would make paste of me (I.E. big groups in Perez Park), or hopping out of enemies range then teleporting them to be beaten up one by one.

Bah, all my characters are on Pinnacle lol

It would probably best to NOT choose prime at release, since it is the first server on the list, and we all know how slammed those get.

My vote goes for pinnacle ^-^

It is? Crap. That's the one I'm on at the moment.

Once one server has been decided, let me know. I'll make a character there, though I can't promise that I'll spend all my time on that one. My RL friends may go to a different server.

Go to a store and place a pre-order. They give you a disk that you take home and put into the computer. Follow badly written directions, and give the code on the CD cover when you get to the right point. Download a small zip file, unzip it to get the patcher.

Patch until done (it installs the whole game, the disk has nothing important on it really), and start beta testing.

The catch is, lots of places don't have the pre-order disks any more. I suggest calling around to find them.

DO NOT however go to an EBGames store... the liklihood of them having the "Bonus Disc" available for pre-orders even in store are limited (and if you preorder off the net like me.. well you're fucked in the ass, cos they are including them with the release box on April 28 instead)....

So if you get the entire thing from a patch basically, then what exactly are you pre-ordering? o.O

The actual CoH game itself, when it comes out. Also, the account code you need to get into the beta (which I believe becomes your account for live play when it goes live).

Gettin in during the beta gives you a couple of advantages.

No. However, you can reserve one name for when it goes live. And, I think you get to keep the running power they have for preorder people (not totally sure on that, and it just helps you get around a bit faster).

In fact, the server you need to use to reserve that name is now up. If you have the preorder, log into that server (you'll know which one) and make a throwaway character with the name you want. Once you're in game, log back out. The character just needs to hold that name for you.

I've got "Charging Tiger" held.

Well, following my name: Mystic Kitsune, she's Illusion Primary set, and Empathy Secondary Set, though might change to Storm Summoning, not sure which would work better ^.^
