my experience with offgamers..
payment via CC went thru, but offgames wants me to email/fax them some doc to verify that im the owner of the CC.
so I cancelled that n went to make payment via Maybank2u.
that was so much better.
So choose maybank2u if u wanna do it via offgamers.
They have other banks also.

It not a walk. U cant walk from Faction to Prophency.  It just a mini quest to link your existing char to another world/campaign and very easy to do it.

Sorry karwaidotnet, this isn't your typical mmorpg.

1. There are no stats similar to other streotype mmorpg. You can still see your HP, your energy, your weapon stats and your ARMOR. By the way there is no "total armor" in GW. As you can see you can wear 5 different pieces of armor at a time: head, body, glove, legs, feet. Hover your mouse over the armor and you can see their individual armor value. But what it means by "no total armor" is for example:

Head (40), Body (70), Glove (50), Legs (70), Feet (60): Depending on which part of your character's body is attacked by the enemy, only that part's armor is counted in damage calculation. Let's say it's the body, then 70 armor value is applied. If head, then 40 armor; if feet 60 and so on. But usually this won't be the case coz ppl will wear full set of same armor value. Like all 70s, or all 80s and so on.

2. There are NO stats. No agi, no dex, no int.. nothing. What's there is the "Attributes". By the way "Attribute" is not the same as "Skill level" such as Cabal, Ragnarok and so on. In those game, when you put 1 skill point in that skill, it ONLY affects that skill ONLY.

But in GW, when put 1 ATTRIBUTE point to, let's say you Warrior's Strength Attribute, it will affect ALL of the skills in Strength Attribute list. How many? 37 of them. See this Warrior's Strength Attribute.

3. There is no point in restricting your character to have all points in Swordsmaship or all in Strength. Not sure if you know this already, but you can set and reset your Attribute points anytime you are in a town/outpost/non-combat maps. So if you go into a mission and realized that you brought a wrong set of skills, just teleport back to town and reset your skills and Attributes.

This is the fun of GW where your skills will be tested instead of your item/stats/armor/blablabla. Rare and unique weapons/armors are mostly just fo' show, displaying their cool skins, while having the same value as the ugliest weapon/armor. A level 17 Ritualist (mine ) with basic armor basic weapon, all basics can kill a level 20 Warrior with unique this and that if the Warrior is not skilled enough.

note that the Armor Penetration from the points you invest in Strength are only effective when you use attack skills, not normal attacks.
