WAR (Warhammer Online)

what will happen to this game, will it fail or succeed or maybe just end up like normal mmo's, just survive. I hope u will cast ur vote and write why u think what u just voted.

Thx :-)

It will success.

Surviving is success for MMOs, and WAR will survive, I think. I estimate a respectable player base of a couple hundred thousand.

It will do fine, even very fine, but from all the stuff in those podcasts, I have this strange feeling that even though fun it'll get very boring, very fast.

I think it will succeed...

All the other obvious reasons aside, but imo the tremendous replay value inherent in the persistent dynamic PvP environment will be the major reason for its success further down the line.

These days an MMO is a smashing success if it gets a steady half a million subscribers. I don't see how WAR could possibly not get at least that.

In the old days it was but I don't think any developer with a bigname MMO is gonna call it a succes if they only end up with 500k people these days, even though it may turn a profit on those numbers alone.

So succes yes, but smashing succes with 500k? Not in my opinion.

It will succeed of course, given that they will be opening up server in aussie to cater to south east asia players, i think this game will sub around a million (keep fingers cross!).  If  they are more aggressive in their marketing to europe and china in future than we can expect this game to steadily raise in sub.

But to be about the same as WoW? I dont think so...

Its going to succeed because its not how great the game looks!  Its all about how many of the MMO player base can run the game!  WoWs success is cause it can be run on a GForce 2 card{yes I've tested and played it on one before.}

Mythic is making a game just like Blizzard did thats not only going to be fun but is in the target range of the existing MMOers without costing them but $50 to purchase the game.

Seriously I believe that once the majority of the MMO player base out there that has never played RvR yet gets to taste it, thats all its going to take.  I expect WAR to easily hit at least 1.3 million players in the first 3 months if not more.

need I say more?
