So, we need to make a Destructoid WAR guild. So who's planning on playing, and what ruleset/realm do you want to play?
(COMING IN 2011, 40K MMO DESTRUCTOID CHAPTER RECRUITMENT)
Incidentally, the rulesets at the moment are:
Core PvP (RvR) in RvR zones only
Open PvP in RvR zones and PvE zones
The realms (factions), as you hopefully already know, are
order and
chaos.
Personally, I'm torn on faction -- I'd like to be a dwarf, so part of me leans order, but I also like to be outnumbered, so that part of me leans chaos.
For ruleset I'm not torn --
Core all the way. I'm actually disappointed that they decided to offer an "open" ruleset because it fragments the player base and (ala WoW) is just going to lead to enormous amounts of trash-talking.
Why Core? Well, I play the game to PvP and Core (or PvE/Normal in WoW) gives you more time to PvP. How so? Well, because when you say "I'm going to PvE" you can sit down for an hour and PvE, then finish and PvP.
On PvP servers, when you say "I'm going to PvE", you actually enter this unfun, bastardized PvE-PvP hybrid where you get nothing done. So on a PvP server you actually spend more time doing PvE than on a PvE server.
Plus, while PvP zones are designed to make PvP fun (objectives and such), in PvE zones there are only quests, so what the f*** are your PvP objectives? "Hey, gank that guy so he can't complete his quest and has to log!" "Hey, help me not get ganked so I can finish my quest!" Pointless, Boring and Stupid.
So how are y'all planning to roll?

The description for the Dwarf Engineer fills me with utter glee, honestly. The turrets and various grenades sound awesome, because they mean that even though I'm ranged DPS, I'm not just spamming the same three moves in all situations, but instead I'm switching it around and doing what needs doing to take down whatever filthy greenskin's ahead of me.
On the other hand, GREEN IS BEST!! Da orks is da biggest an' da strongest, an' I wanna pick up me choppas and stomp all dem stunties inta da muck!
Either way, definitely leaning towards Core. I like the idea that I can PvP meaningfully without getting ganked by someone at the top of the level cap for the tier because they think it's funny.
Well, I kind of explained it above. My experience in WoW has taught me that :
PvE server : 40% PvE, 60% PvP
PvP server : 60% unfun PvE/PvP hybrid, 40% PvP
PvP is my favorite thing, PvE second, and weird pointless PvE/PvP is last. Rolling PvE gives you more time to do "fun" PvP.
I know, for a fact, I will be playing Chaos. Its all about Chaos
so it looks like chaos it will be!
The two factions are actually Destruction/Order and in recent polls Destruction outnumbers Order 3:2 in terms of players.
You are totally right. I'm a noob.
