I loved wh40k from the first DoW on. then i started reading the books and also played a pen and papergame!

Im really excited for the orks in EC! and since we have the chance to shape them together with the devs, i can make sure that orks will be awesome!
they will have high customization, cause orks do not follow rules!
they will have lots of orky mechanics, for example: when an ork trukk is blown up all pasangers will get burst out of the trukk half alive and after standing up they will charge on the enemy

we, the fans, will make EC amazing! and the devs will help a bit too ;D

I really enjoyed all of the THQ games, and i feel that this one is the good one.
The greatest wh40k video game ever done.
I play wh40k since 8 years with my brother (fulgrim there i think ;) ) so i would really enjoy
this experience with him so that we can play together and have another look on the VG.
I Will give feedback Like i did for the thq's space marine game and i really want to share my experience of the universe with the dev team to make sure everyone Will be proud of this game !
See you guys in game !!

I've enjoyed many versions of 40K over the years and while I've never played the table top version I'm intrigued by it.

I'm looking forward to exploring the Eldar and some of the other races to see what this incarnation brings to life.

I do hope this game does well.

Eternal Crusade is something I'm looking forward to because it seems like a fun mechanical game as well as an interesting conceptual one at the same time and I'm hoping it can deliver on both premises.

A game like, Battlefield Borderlands or Planetside offers a fun experience of running and gunning in large conflicts, with all the explosions vehicles and spectacle that represents. Equally however they are shallow conceptually offering a kind of mindless fun and entertainment.

Games like EVE online, or many community driven open world online experiences offer a very interesting and unique community driven experience, where the ability to freely interact with the rest of the playerbase in more interesting and unique ways than just shooting at them, with actual goals and meaning to the conflict between players other than imaginary internet points of XP and K/D that are shallow and meaningless. Equally however they are shallow mechanically, offering not so much of a fun experience in the nuts and bolts of what you do and only adding meaning to dull gameplay elements with the overarching consequences of them.

Eternal Crusade is a rare type of game that is in the fortunate position of potentially being able to realise great gameplay in both these styles at once, it's a tough job but if they manage to pull it off with finesse then they will be left in the enviable position of being the game that offers something for everybody, not in the jack of all trades master of none experience, but actually by being totally compelling and awesome to two different groups of people at the same time, the fusion of these two types of playerbase if both are satisfied equally will add much to the experience for those who play with and against these people.

I bought my first space marine when I was 11 in 1991. It was a Techmarine blister pack that came with two Techmarines. I bought a couple of paints and immediately went home to paint. The next day I brought them in and the staff at my local GW thought I had done a great job and proceeded to show me how to play the game. As my enthusiasm grew for painting and gaming I was encouraged by the staff to help newer gamers and painters get into the hobby, by the end of my first year I was giving intro painting lessons and showing other people my age how to play.
After 3 years of painting and gaming at my local GW store the staff really thought of me as a member of their squad and they were sad to hear that I was moving away. I travelled to the US where I kept the hobby alive with my new school friends and even managed a first place in the school art exhibition with an Woodelf diorama including Wardancers and River Troll. Once I graduated in 98 I returned to my home town to look for a collage to attend, I was aiming for art collage and applied for quite a few. Sadly most of my artwork was destroyed in transit and I was informed that I would have to resit my entrance exams. Well, this didn't sit too well with me so I applied to my local GW store where I was accepted as a part timer.
"Dream come true" was my thought and two very happy years later rolling around in the fluff that was my childhood playground ensued! Sadly as I grew older I had to move jobs, but I always kept my hobby alive with weekly gaming sessions and painting as much as I could get a hold off. This again began to change when I met my future wife, I don't have as many friends who play the tabletop any more but we all play the PC games... we have racked up hours upon hours of DOW, DOW2 Space Marine, Space Hulk and any mods I can get my hands on. I am part of a online gaming family that have played PC games from EQ to EVE online to Wildstar since the 00's.
I am planning on leading the charge into the Eternal Crusade and bring my Battle Brothers with me. Together online we can re-create our childhood dreams of storming an Ork fortress, or chasing down Chaos filth. I will be there either at the beginning by being a founding member of Eternal Crusade or I will join the ranks later. All I know is that myself and my online family will be ready and able to wage a Heroic war in the grim darkness of the far future.

I've been following the project since it was first announced in some backwater portion of the internet with no hype surrounding it, only a splash page with four quotes proclaiming how great Warhammer 40k is.

Its been a roller-coaster of emotions up to this point as I've tried to explain to my friends and others who doubted the company (beHaviour) who didn't understand the team behind Eternal Crusade, but what I've seen so far is that the team is extremely excited to work on this project.

Never before have I seen such community involvement from the developers of a non-indie game, Brent Ellison, Steve Lumpkin, Patrick Balthazar, and excitable Miguel: These are all names that I won't soon forget.

So why am I excited for this game? Because it is EXACTLY the game Warhammer 40k fans have wanted for years. All out war with the opportunity to take part of it. So far the devs have shown enough passion to make the idea work, enough humility to accept when they have some less great ideas, and enough wisdom to ignore the loudest of us whom have terrible ideas.

So I have faith in this game, but I can only say one thing.

Don't ***** this one up, I don't think my heart could take a disappointment of this magnitude.

Long time fan....played table top and DoW I & II, and Space Marine. Looking forward to this game...bring it on.

Warhammer 40k : Eternal Crusade : amazing ! I have been playing Games Workshop's Warhammer 40k for 9 years, and I'm very excited by the release of a MMO based on my favourite universe.

I read a lot of books written by Graham McNeil, the author who wrote the story "Space marine descent on Arkhona". I really loved his books, like Uriel Ventris's stories and so on.

About 40k : I know the entire story of the 41th millenium, and I play Astra Militarum, Space marines, Chaos Space marines, chaos daemons, Grey Knights, Eldar,...

My armies : https://picasaweb.google.com/114501282870392204054/EmperorSChildren?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCOn77NHFhrKInwE&feat=directlink

About the MMO aspect : I play 40k in a club, where a lot of friends want to play to Eternal Crusade.
The website of the club : http://www.khultstgilles.com/index.php
And I played a lot of video games related with 40k (Dawn Of War, Space Marine...).
I really want to help the dev team to improve the game, by testing it and with my knowledge of the universe.

Apologies for my English, I'm a French gamer, in love with 40k.

For The Warmaster ! Let this world burn !

I'm excited because i've wanted a good 40k mmo for my entire life, practically. I've been into warhammer since I was 7, and I have a few friends that are excited to play. I'm looking forward to being a space marine and exterminating my foes. I would love to get in the beta.

I'm excited because I can't wait to drive metal bawkses around as a spess mehreen.
Thanks for giveaway.

I cannot describe how much am I excited about having a chance in playing an MMO placed in Warhammer 40.000 setting. The sheer awesomeness of the monster called Warhammer cannot be described with mere words, you have to feel it for yourself!

First time I came in contact with it was around 10 years ago, but at that time I didn't think it was anything special. However, kids tend to be wrong with most of things :D so as I grew up, I learned more and more about the lore and quickly fell in love with it. Despite all of that, I have never played a single Tabletop game in my life, nor do I have an army! However, that didn't stop me from playing every PC game that came out and I hope I'll be given the chance to once again invest all my precious spare time into a game like Eternal Crusade, like I did numerous of times before.

What would a Traitor Marine be without his compatriots? A main conglomerate of Night Lords who are coming to spread terror across the battlefields of Arkhona could be found here, and I'd be happy if there is anyone else who would like to join us and spread the wings!

I most look forward is having fun! Anything else is secondary! And I cannot imagine anything greater than joining the Eternal Crusade and singing a slow dirge of death to all who oppose Dark Gods!

It's the first 40K MMO, I was introduced to the universe by a friend a couple of years back and I've been hooked to it since, I can't wait to immerse myself in the world with players at my back and against me, I accidentally stumbled across the website 3 hours after it launched and can't wait to make my journey to Arkhona.

Though my fav race ain't available at the start of this, I really hope this game lives up to my expectations and releases further races in expansions. Cheers!
