To get into this and have some damn good fun you need to do the following:

1. Get an Everlasting Trial from here.

2. Download the client if you do not have it already.

3. Once downloaded & installed log in.

4. Choose Karak Azgal as your server.

5.  Go Order side.

6. Create a character - or a few characters.

7. Enter game and look out for a Hands of Justice member - or check this thread for names.

8. Get into guild and have GOOD TIMES in TIER 1*

*Limited to Empire:Chaos pairing, but all races.

These trials CAN join guilds.

Just got one of my characters into it

also remember to go into your trial account and click on activate trial at the top of the page

i missed that for a while and wondered why i kept getting kicked when trying to login.

can take ten minutes after clicking said activate trial before you can actually log into the patcher.

A note on the 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.

I wonder how one can purchase from AH without access to the capital city...

[Keggi]

thought i read you could go to capital city ?

thought i read you could go to capital city ?

I keep finding different details - I'll be editing as and when I find it for certain.

on the official site on the trial download page it says you can wage war across the first tier of the game and capital cities.

Some limitations on the free-play:

1) You can't fly anywhere and you can't walk out from T1 Empire-Chaos pairing, so no access to the AH or bank or the other pairings

2) Can't send mail through the postal system (but you can recieve)

3) You can't use the new PvP rewards introduced in 1.3.4, but that is realy not of concern as those are only sold in Altdorf (where you can't get to)

4) You can reach level 10, so you will never be able to get a hat or helmet (apparently the lowest level you can get a helmet is at 11). Cloaks and shoulders are rare, and they are bought and sold for outrageous money (the froobs (if an AO acronym is allowed here) have nothing to burn their money on after they've bought the "basic" PvP rewards, so money just keeps on stacking).


There is usually war going on in the T1 PvP lake. I've logged on early in the morning, during the day and in the middle of the night, and there is always fighting going on. During peak hours there can be several raids going on at the same time, and the fights are truly epic.

Of the scenarios only Gates of Ekrun and Nordenwatch are left in T1. During weekends there is also a special sceanrio, which can be one of the "shafted" scenarios (like Altar of Khaine, Phoenix gate etc etc) or one of the "holiday" scenarios (like the ironclad (where an orc ship crashes into an ironclad, and there is a fight over the control of the ironclad) or gun factory etc). Scenarios are not that popular anymore it seems, as even during peak hours there is a couple minutes queue. Then again, the open PvP lakes were always where the fun in WAR was
