Well, it's simple, are you a Final Fantasy XI fan boy who loves to do nothing but PvE end game? Endless PvE end game with other people, events, fun, and great armor customization.

That is not what Warhammer Online is about, it's about the competition, the PvP, the RvR, the working together to create a common goal, scenarios. The Public Quests, crafting, raiding, and other PvE content is what is required in ALL MMORPGs, but to be frank with you guys, if you don't like PvP, this isn't the game for you.

So, I believe that this game is gonna be light on End Game PvE, and that's good, but for those who are heavy PvE, might not be the game for you.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

Honestly I played FFXI for 3 years.  At the time it was exactly what I wanted to play.  It was perfect for me.  I am more into PvP, but FFXI will always be the best game I have ever played due to the style and friends I met at that time in my life.  WAR is now exactly what I need at this point in my life so I have gotten lucky with having some MMO's almost like they were geared towards me as I grew up.

Anyway I have always been a PvP fan from Counter Strike to WAR.

end game is a big mix, its pvp + rvr = fun ..essentially you have to rvr to get to the pve end game fights

It's not that simple. What if I want a game that offers both? I enjoy large scale PvP battles because, if set up right, it can be quiet a challenge and you never know what's going to happen and can't prepare for it. I like PvE because, again, if done right, you can end up in epic boss fights that are challenging and rewarding.

I have WAR on preorder and will give it a try. The beta has me concerned because it looks horrible, but the release client is supposed to look better from what I'm told. Graphics aren't everything to me, but my beta client looked VERY dated. As long as release looks acceptable, I'll be good to go.

I always thought PvE was the stuff you had to do before you could PvP

I've been a confirmed pve type myself for most of my mmorpg "career", but i'm quite psyched about Warhammer Online. RvR is different than your chaotic gankfest that some games have on their pvp servers.

True true, every game has great PvE, there's plenty of PvE, but what if you get to the end game, what is there to do, Obviously PvP!!! That's great! I love PvP, RvR totally! But yeah, just wondering where the end game PvE!!!! is

Hahahaha...oh, you're precious! Thank you for saving so many of us from buying WAR and being disappointed. Hey, you really need to get hold of Mark Jacobs over at Mythic and tell him that they could have saved so much development time if they would have forgotten about making up all those quest thingies and just concentrated on throwing large groups of people together in a small area and let them pound on each other! What fun!

Have you even played in one of the beta tests? Are you even going to play this on release day? Frankly, you smell like somebody who just wants to stir stuff up. What's wrong? AoC servers down tonight, Cupcake?
