I was just curious what view people are going to play WAR in. If I end up on an RP server I'll probably play first person, but if it sucks I'll probably go third again. I always tend to find the world looking bigger and more immersive if I play in first person. EQ, PS, EQ2 (healer) - First Person EQ2, WoW, LoTRO, GW - Third Person

If WAR is everywhere why aren''t I in beta yet? |
Playing in first person in MMOs always has too much of a disadvantage. Sure it is fun once in while to take in the sights but when it comes to actually fighting you're putting a handicap on yourself by limiting your field of vision. |

From a practical gameplay perspective I believe you really need to play in 3rd person, especially in PvP. Someone tries to sneak up behind you but you're in first person so all you can see is one direction. Turn around to look behind you, and someone hits you from the side, ect. I like 3rd person as well because I like to see my char, see the changes in apperance and see the animations and effects that the company worked hard to develop. |

I only play in 1st person. 3rd person for me feels like I am watching someone run through the game world. 1st person feels like I am in the game world. |

3rd person gives more ability to see what's going on as well as that's what I'm used to. I'll only play in first person when you can see as wide as you can in reality. |

I'll be in 3rd person.....first person is ok but it leaves you open to blind spots since you have to remember to 'turn your head' lol |

I started off hot and heavy in the first person shooter genre, so I was very used to that perspective. But playing MMO's, I quickly learned the advantages of playing third person, especially in combat.
Also as a roleplayer, seeing my character is a visual reminder for me to stay in character. It's fun dressing up my character too. I like to look my best |
