They haven't put Dark Elves of High Elves in yet. They're developing the game by racial pairings. Dwarfs vs. Greenskins was first, now they're doing Empire vs. Chaos, and last they'll be doing Dark Elves vs. High Elves.

I don't know if I agree with that. WAR is currently in closed beta and beta generally means the core stuff (races, features, etc.) have completed and locked down
checkthis500 is stating information as released by Mythic, not opinion. They blew everyone's mind by having Dwarfs & Greenskins running in demo less than a year after starting work (confirming their intent to meet the express-speed development schedule) - they explained that they were able to do it because they were developing the game by racial pairs. Dwarfs/Greenskins along with basic systems/features took the longest (the first year). Now they're into the second pair, developing Empire & Chaos and continuing systems/features development. The larger Beta testing will likely happen concurrent with the development of the Elven pair - testers will be in there testing completed systems/features on Dwarfs & Chaos characters while the Elven pair is under development.

Ah, excellent. Thanks for the info. Obviously I'm new to this board and am not quite up on who is 'in the know'. The testing by racial pairs is a clever way to go about doing it. I just hope the cross-racial pair testing goes just as smoothly. I'd hate to see some uber-cross racial/class exploits ruin it for early adopters.
It's great to see Mythic hitting all the marks with the development of WAR. Clearly their experience with DAoC is paying off. If Mythic continues to astound the press (and eventually the open beta testers) up until WAR goes gold I will definitely be getting my copy on day one.
