Warhammer Endless trial

Warherald announcement

Faq:

What does "Endless" mean?
Endless means that your trial account does not expire. You have no time limitation and may play within the restrictions of the Endless Trial as long as you like for free.

What are the restrictions on the Endless Trial?
Endless Trial accounts are restricted to Tier 1 of the Empire versus Chaos pairing. This includes Tier 1 scenarios but does not include access to the Capital Cities or the other racial pairings within the game.

Endless Trial accounts may receive mail and purchase from the auction house; however, they cannot send mail or create auctions.

Endless Trial accounts are limited to designated servers. If you'd like to play with friends on other servers, you will need to purchase a retail copy of the game and transfer your character to their server (or create a new character on their server). All characters Rank 11 and under on purchased accounts have access to unlimited transfers, with a max of one transfer per day. Please note that you can only transfer characters to the same server type as the server you created your characters on (Core, Open RvR, and Roleplay). Please see the full server list here for details about each server, including server type. Alternatively, if you have a friend who is currently playing WAR, you can ask them for a Recruit-a-Friend code that will allow you to create a Recruit-a-Friend trial account which has access to all servers.

Can I use my characters from the Endless Trial in the full game?
Yes, as long as you upgrade your Endless Trial account rather than create a brand new one, the characters you are currently playing will still be there to continue their journey through WAR.

Where can I download the Endless Trial?

What is mythic stance on something like pwnboxer using it? If new version works for it i will try it out with this endless trial to see how it goes.

Still trying to find a mmo that i actually like. I like warhammer just not the endgame. hehe

Here is some fun reading material on how boxing so far is going in Warhammer.

Only post I have come across that someone official has chimed in on.

What is mythics stance on Multiboxing?

These next posts are mainly just whine post.

I get my 2nd monitor today. If new versions of pwnboxer supports it i'm going to run 5 accounts for kicks. Not sure if i have the right hardware currently though.
Nvidia 260GTX Core 216, 8 gigs of ddr2, win 7 pro, Quad Core 2.83ghz. The 2nd PC is dual core 2.8ghz, 4gigs of ran and ATI 4670.

I already have a level 40 bright wizard on Iron Rock.

Very interesting. Great choice for a college student who wants to multibox

I've been testing out multiboxing Warhammer...

omfg its a pain. alot of it is just how warhammer is. the /follow in warhammer is terrible, and the windows only accept keypresses if they are the focused window, so the only real practical way to multibox this game is to go the hardware route.

The game is Awesome, but multiboxing it is a pain in the rear.

Most games don't build themselves around being boxer friendly.
But then most games are happy to have players subscribe multiple times.

The macro/script system for the game is a major determining factor in how boxable it will be.
A basic follow and assist is perhaps the only features, which is missing, would kill a game as far as boxing goes.

I've heard people refer to boxing in Warhammer as hard mode, and super frustrating.
Have not tried it.

I spent my time Dual boxing WAR, with 2 healer classes. Shaman and the Zealot. Dualing Zealots owned. The offensive/defensive target really shined here. I could cross heal myself well enough at lvl 1 in scenario's that it took several to get me down. The /assist and the /aid macros worked pretty good for me. Targeting was never a problem once I adjusted. Auto face target works very well for boxing also.

The follow system is crap in, first and the biggest problem its to far back. Second problem is /follow does not work in WAR. Ya had to set a macro to /target character name /follow. It's a two keypress macro and follow breaks all the time.

Performance was a problem for me also. 2 WARS tax my system more than 5 WoW's. Scenario's I could run well enough, RvR was rough frequently. The games performance has been improving with age though.

Pwnboxer is not working exactly right with the game just yet. But it was working well enough I would of used it. For me to keep boxing past the restrictions on free account the follow system will have to improve a ton. I need to get step up my system also to help out with performance would also help a ton.

Its really to bad also. Warhammer overall may not be a better product. But the PvP surpasses World of Warcraft immensely in my opinion.
