As was announced just recently, today is the day that Warrior Epic will officially launch -- by 5PM PDT if things go to schedule. The client can be obtained here ahead of time in preparation for the launch. Bob Drobish, CEO of the game's publisher True Games Interactive, made a statement to mark the occasion: "During the closed beta, we worked closely with the community to deliver an immersive and challenging game play experience. Now as we pull the trigger on the launch of the game, our development team is committed to continuing to deliver new and exciting content as our community continues to grow."
The launch will feature a few things that weren't around during the betas. For one, the item shop will be ready for business, offering things like potions and vanity pieces. A guild system will be in place, and new introductory sequences will greet players. A new Random Map Generator also made it in for launch day, and will do exactly what it sounds like it should do and create differing dungeons for groups of players to explore.
Warrior Epic is a free-to-play MMO, so giving it a try when it launches today won't cost you a dime. Let us know what you think if you do.

When I go to the website it forwards me to pregnancy.org what kind of BS is that?

I'd written this off with prejudice..
..but, nobody told me it was Diablo-alike! With a metal-ish soundtrack!

Sadly, it would appear, no. ("hopefully warrior epic will do a better job").
4 hours past 'launch time' and no updates, no servers, and an ironic pigeon English update on their Twitter promising to 'keep ya updated' (sic).
Failed on all counts. Already.
And before anyone says "it's launch, give them a break".. no.
If you're going to go to all efforts to plaster a launch date and *time* all over the internets, only to miserably (and silently) fail at achieving that published goal, then it simply sets up the theme for the future with them in my opinion.
Deleted. *sigh

Well my full-version installer hangs up after the language selection, so I'm guessing something ain't right.

I got to play this in beta. Its actually a very polished and well made game. Any fan of the Diablo style of gameplay should check it out.
And LOL at Amana for blowing off the whole game just because it wasn't up and running exactly when you finished installing. Give it a day and try again maybe? Its not like the game is gonna spoil sitting there on your hard drive!

And it's still not up apparently (forums). Or at least, it was up, then got to 200 players and.. stopped there.

Fuck me, this is really good. Gameplay already feels more solid than DR did at launch, and despite some rough edges and weird front-end navigation, it's aces so far!

Yeeeeahhh, go on, you know it makes sense! There's a very interesting 'warrior management' thing going on inbetween quests, too. The whole thing actually smacks a lot more of trad D&D/Forgotten Realms hipness, than the whole 'Diablo Clone' tag allows for. Yumm!

I am enjoying this game a lot. I never expected it to be full of so much quality. The graphics are fresh and I enjoy what they're trying to accomplish.
