WAR (Warhammer Online)

I know, you are all getting tired of these WAR vs WoW posts, but really, even though I am getting tired of WoW myself, I still have not seen anything to suggest that WAR will be a step up from WoW. Except for RvR.

Almost all the other features of WoW seem to be superior to WAR's:

1.) Almost open world, with flying mounts where I can land wherever I want in Outland (and Northrend from level 77)

2.) Amazing PvE that is going to get a huge boost in WOTLK

3.) An economy with an AH

4.) A  huge world comparing to other MMOs

5.) Professions that finally became meaningful

In WAR's favour: PvP and that is about it.

Or are there more WAR features that will blow WoW out of the water that I don't know about? (not in the beta, only going on what I read here).

Please understand that I am not a WoW fanboy, in fact I desperately want to leave it for a superior MMO. Just have not seen one yet.

WoW is a solo game. If you like solo games, stay in WoW.

A lot of people who liked WoW are burnt out on it by now. I enjoyed the game a lot, but It's just gotten old.

WAR offers a fresh environment, a new world to explore and new mechanics to master.

You can't judge the long term appeal of a game based on a preview weekend (AoC proved that), but I'm at least encouraged by what I've seen.

WAR is a compelling game, with a cool environment, interesting classes and plenty to do. (In spite of the stresson this being a PvP game, I've also found the PvE content very satisfying).

WoW has had years to polish and flesh out the game. I envy new MMO players coming to WoW for the first time, because if you like they style of play and environment, there is enough there to keep you happy for a long time.

For people who didn't like WoW, or who have just burnt out on it, WAR seems to offer a compelling alternative.

WoW is a solo game. If you like solo games, stay in WoW.

Wow is the most group oriented MMO I have ever played. Tell me any other MMO that focuses more on grouping than wow. Just because you can choose to level to 70 solo doesn't mean there is no support for grouping. Wow just allows you to solo instead if you want to.

I played WAR over the preview weekend and will definately spend the next few months playing it while I wait for WoTLK.

Reasons?

1) WAR is a very nice game - it is not as good as WOW in any apsect except RVR/PVPt, there is no doubt - but it is new and fresh and ive been playing WOW for 3 years.

2) I will no doubt continue with WOW when WoTLK comes out - but that being said, I have enough money to pay for both WAR and WOW if WAR has enough staying power to make me interested beyond 2 months of play.

YOU LIKE WOW?!?  I LIKE  <insert any other game>!!!!  WOW SUCKS!!!!111!!1

You just defined what I consider a solo game. If you like solo games, hey, that's fine with me. I don't like solo games.

There will be many objectives in WAR that cannot be accomplished solo. I don't think one player is going to be taking a capital city by his or her self.

WoW fanbois FTL, u guys should stop whining like idiots about WoW vs WAR

WAR > WoW and if You don't think the same go cry to your grandma, dont talk about this shit anymore.

haha.. look at the fans fight! getting nowhere, but fighting like they have the power to change something..

I think I should join in...

WoW will no longer be the "undisputed" king of mmo's.. As in the words of street fighter..

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!

1. Very zoned world compared to many other games.

2. Easy,joke and booring PvE.

3. No economy at all.

4. World is jut OK but to ofar away form huge.

5. I cant believe it even I see it. Meaningful professions do not match the entire conception of the game.

About WAR you are right that the only advantage is PvP, but at least its here and is great. WoW do not have even a real PvP, but just multiplayer arena and BGs. Even DOTA is better than them, but at least its free.

PS: If understand that you are not WoW fanboy, then that mean that you are pure MMO amateur.
