OK so... I'm letting it to this late so cut me a little slack:
Is their a "Overclockers" guild yet? Who is the leader? Looks like theirs two sides, "Order" and "Destruction" got Guild on both?
What server is "Overclockers" playing on?
Got a Vent server set up yet?
Is their a class that can command pets and have them fight for you?

There is a guild, it is not a "overclockers" guild as that would make it a 5 player guild. Instead, several members here have a gamers guild, found here www.exceedgamers.org and those from overclockers who didnt have a guild joined up with them (note: several members here have been long time members with this guild) I *think DaPoets could explain more if needed.
Server is Ulthuan and there is a vent server
It is a destruction guild, and I dont know any order

The 'warlock' type class also has some demon pets, forgot what they are called though. If you decide to roll on our server and join us, which we hope you do!, we could use another tank if you wanted. But any class is welcome!

I bought and installed the game, I'm level 6 so far and I am not terribly impressed. The animations are poor, it feels like I'm stuck at medium graphics, and it's not immersive. It feels like a "WoW Lite" for people who cant be bothered to read quest text.
Am I playing it wrong?

Give it some more time and try participating in a keep seige in the RvR zones. It's unfair to warhammer to compare it to WoW considering WoW has been out for 4 years. If you played WoW when it first came out, it wasn't much better in terms of animations / graphics.
Make sure to try some scenarios too (their battlegrounds are more fun than WoW's imo and there are actually more than 4!)
If you're favorite part of MMO's is PvE you probably won't like this game.

Actually, it was! I played WoW from closed beta until about 6 months ago.

We are moving right along and are at Guild Rank 7 already! We have had a great number of people on Ventrilo all the time and this has let many of us here get to know each other much better than forums are able to. We have had a number of schedule events in game, taken over Keeps, defended territory, public quests, tome unlocks to get everyone matching cloaks, and lots of scenarios! We will be doing a good number of Dungeons now as our lvls have been going up. I'm lvl 17 right now which is one of the highest and I think we have about 6 or 7 around this level. Dungeons can really be done around level 14 or so depending on the group you have so we will put a Dungeon night on the calendar. Please go to www.exceedgamers.org and make sure you are registered there as well, and post so we know who is who. (in game names tend to be different than forum names)
Thanks!
Thanks!

Well. Had a really good sunday. Got a few hours in, a 4 lvl increase (lvl 16), and alot of killing
While the large scale battles might not totally be my thing currently, the smaller zone or senerio instances are much better for me currently. At least til I get use to this whole new MMO interface and learn the ups and downs of things. Did manage to get into 1 castle takeover though and that was fun, I didn't even die
I wouldn't say there isn't alot of PvE either. Formed about 3 groups and 4 warbands for some Public Quests. Had a few hours of fun doing that. All in all a good time With now just over 1 day of play time.

just over 5 hours /played now, just dinged rank 11 last session.
still loving this game
as for people saying that this is too pvp oriented, since no-one has played engame yet they cannot compare it to wow endgame. The leveling process so far has more PvE content than WoW however, it just has the very fun pvp sections as well, so overall offering more than twice as much to do while leveling. I can see this game being fun to level lots and lots of chars, unlike wow which was just a rush to get your char to max level so that you could 'start'

As a guild we have only been doing organized bloodshed of Order. We will start to get a balance going and doing some Dungeons as that is great experience to be had in there to help people lvl, great gear, and learn how to better work w/ the other classes (like standing behind Orc Tanks to get better defence and buffs) Keep an eye on the Guild Calendar.
