Agree that we need a suggestions section in these forums.
I would also like ingame chat functionality ala Lotro.
Social games hold onto subs.

For some strange reason I'm slightly comforted by the notion that precious brats are not solely the domain of those countries in which English is the first language.

I'd like to thank you all, particularly ISharpie, for making my life easier.
Whenever anyone asks me why this game is going to thrive at endgame I'll point them to this thread.
Brings back good memories of Ultima Online, Darkfall and Lineage2.
Oh and this server should designate one zone for Australian guilds and lets us fight over it.
One with a beach and a good pub.
Thank you.

We have made a guild with about 10 so far - Valkyrie.
Friend our leader and have a chat if you like.

I joined last night and they are a good bunch of people.
If you are coming over to this server and dont have a guild please consider looking us up and hitting the apply button. You dont have to be racing to end game, I will be a "journey" not a "destination" type of person and it seems this will be a good guild for doing so.
valkyrie
The word valkyrie derives from Old Norse valkyrja (plural valkyrjur), which is composed of two words; the noun valr (referring to the slain on the battlefield) and the verb kjósa (meaning "to choose"). Together, they mean "chooser of the slain". The Old Norse valkyrja is cognate to Old English wælcyrge.[1] Other terms for valkyries include óskmey (Old Norse "wish girl"), appearing in the poem Oddrúnargrátr, and Óðins meyjar (Old Norse "Odin's girls"), appearing in the Nafnaþulur. Óskmey may be related to the Odinic name Óski (Old Norse, roughly meaning "wish fulfiller"), referring to the fact that Odin receives slain warriors in Valhalla.

TLDR version:
1. Please add a suggestions forum in here. It will make both yours and our lives easier. I love this game and want an efficient way to help conrtribute to its growth.
2. Please create a Lotro account and look at their ingame voice chat and copy it. This game is crying out for ingame chat. You have done so much to make the game immersive, having to watch a chat box and type really detracts from that. This is my absolute #1 suggestion for this game. I do want to have spontaneous groups form. I dont want to spend 10 minutes getting them all onto vent, mumble, TS, whatever just to spend an hour with them. Lotro does it so well. I strongly suggest emulating them.
The long version:
Heres a post I made on www.mmorpg.com just now. The key points are in the TLDR version above, however feel free to comment on either version.

I've been playing MMO's since my brother-in-law showed me UO back in 2001, then 3 years in UO, 3 years in Lineage2, couple of years raiding in WoW, couple of years immersed in Darkfall and on and off returning to Lotro (thank you for having lifetime memberships).
I've found my home for the next few years (no not months, years).
I'd been soloing in this game so far (apart from running the first dungeon - BoL) but last night I joined a guild on the new PvP server - yes they have already catered to demand and started a 4th pvp server. I transferred all 3 toons to the new server (at no cost).
One of the guys wanted to hit some BAM's for a quest (level 24ish). By the time I had got to him he had added 3 more people to the group. We then spent the most fun hour I've had in MMO's for years belting these BAMs. Mind you, this is on a pvp server where everyone can "go red" on you, however we easily grouped with people and had an absolute ball.
I cannot wait to log in again today. I dont remember the last time I felt this enthusiastic for my MMO. My wife isnt too happy about it, she can see my enthusiasm.
I dont need to preach to people the merits of this game. Its going to be huge. Word of mouth will make this game grow.
I have 2 issues at the moment.
1. I love my beserker for PvE but I know my archer is the better pvp toon for my latency. I also love my priest toon. So I cant help but play 3 toons in parallel. Not so wise on a pvp server and I know I'll get my [filtered] kicked when people hit the cap, but I love all 3 toons.
2. If there was one thing I would want from other games it would be Lotros ingame voicechat.
Seriously the combat is so good and immersive, if I group with randoms for BAM's etc I dont want to be watching the chat box and typing, I want to fight and speak. I love Lotro's voice chat. This game needs the same.
Anyway, back to the game. And yes while its more difficult for aussies with our 250 ping to Chicago I'm sure I can cope. I wouldn't want to be playing anything else now...

- Reason: I should proof read - my bad.
One of my favourite memories from UO back around 2003 was being escorted through a Chessy RP city.
I think everyone spoke OrK.
At the time I was on Oceania, but rolled an alt on Chessy to visit this town.
Pax Lair maybe?

En Masse you suck.
Thanks to your checksum error I still have at least 18 hours of downloading before I can do something as simple as reserve a name.
Why couldn't you have put up a webpage for character reservation?
And let me guess, next week there will be a patch that causes another checksum error and another 20GB reinstall.

Guys, rather than have us load a 4 GB build just to logon and reserve our name, server and class, would it be possible that you could hook up a webpage here that does the same thing?
We know we will need to download another 4GB next week when you rebuild so why not save us the hassle of downloading 2 different builds of the same code?
With your n-tier architecture I'm sure it couldn't be too hard to knock up a webpage that uses your middle tier API's to do the same thing that you do from the windows client.
I can wait a week to customise my toon, I'm guessing you'll have hooked up more customisation options by then anyway. We can simply use a webpage to choose a server, choose a name, a class, and do the rest next week..
cheers
