WAR (Warhammer Online)

I read a looong long time ago, that wandering monsters could set up home near towns and villages and if not put down would quickly attract other more powerful creatures and eventually can form war camps.

Does anyone know if this feature will be in at launch?

Or is it just a pipe dream?

Certainly hope so

Hehe, sounds a bit Gauntletesque really, still that was the grand daddy of all multi player fantasy games so why not :P

Im not sure if that will be on launch or not, actually i have never heard it mentioned but i have not read everything out there on WAR either.  But what i do know is they have stated that there are alot of things they said will be in game such as, your character actually growing and looking different as you lvl, will not be implemented on launch but will be in game eventually.  And i also seen a few vids and some convention reports stating the staff said they are already planning and working on the next 2 years of patches upgrades and even the first official Expansion pack.  So maybe it wont be in on luanch but if they stated somewhere that it will be in game or they want it to, then im sure you can bet they are at the very least still discussing its implement into the game or they may have it planned already for a later stage.

I newer heard that this should be a feature in WAR. I think that you got your WAR and darkfall wires crossed.

I read the article 2 years ago, a lot of things change in game development over that kind of timescale so chances are it won't make it in.

Time will tell however.

Wait why wont the growth thing be ingame right away? i see videos all the time of big as orcs, and tiny little ones at low lvls (slightly bigger them goblins). Same goes for Chaos and how corrupt they look, lvl 1 maruader and his transformed arm is so meh, high lvls ones look bad ass.

Not sure...but are the different sized Orcs actually players or NPCs? I think no growth at launch is just for players. Also heard something about dwarfs' beards but that won't be in at launch either.

They might not have monsters that move into places, however they do have something called Lairs.

Lairs are basically places where rare high level monsters will spawn at various times and times of the in-game day that are non instanced ( I think ) and open to everyone in a T4 zone.

Things like this are needed to create the next generation MMO...

Not all over the place, but just in a few static spots.

And Warhammer surely has the ingame setting and attitude to pull off something like this.
