lol, do you think anyone ever listens to the OP?

Obviously, 12pages of people complaining sure got someones attention :p but ya.....it's like the fanbois are flamers themselves, I'm no fanboi but I love this game. And like I said, fanbois are basically flamers/haters themselves....which screws up every game... Shame, awhile back people took games for granted, now all the 12yr olds expect everything from them.

But ya, like above me, lets jst let this thing bury :)

Love how our europian brethren cry foul when an American product turns out to be slightly problematic when exported to europe.

WAR would fail if it failed on the home front, where it's main market is... North America.

Europe just has to be patient while the product goes through the export process, thats all. Like most other products on the market, be it movies or gadgets or games or whatnot.

Same goes for Europe products being exported to North America.. no doubt if Darkfall ever came out us north americans would have our own export issues to deal with, to give an example.

 

Sorry but I dissagree there mate, the IP is a British property and its main fan base is in Europe. The game may have been made in the US but its a much bigger deal over here than in the US. People in europe grew up with Warhammer and Warhammer 40k. The fan base over here with all Europeans combined is bigger than the US market. If it fails here it fails in the US, simple as that. With only prob half the subscriber base in the US if it dont take here then it fades away to be another almost WoW killer.

Personally I'm having a blast and think the game will be a big hit, no WoW killer but amongst the top 5 MMO's out there. Everyone needs to hope that the games launch over here goes well because there are a lot of Warhammer fans over here waiting to see how this pans out.

Random thought, though yes Games Workshop is based in the UK... you realize... us "stupid" americans have been playing just as long, and the manufacturing/production for most of the models comes out of Memphis here in the US... right?

Kinda of silly to say WAR won't be as popular in America just because of were the lore originates.

Considering the lore for about 99% of the MMOs available comes from Europes side of the planet. 

I'd say the Asian market is what makes WoW top dog. 

Failed? Ok first of it hasn't even released... what kind of a ridiculous assumption is that? Secondly, I think it's a great game, and RvR is freakishly fun for me. With a few fixes here and there this game will really shine.

War failed with me when they announced the monthly pricing for EU servers which is 25% more than warcraft,aoc,lotro and all games at that price and about 20% more than all SoE game servers. Secondly, that they had gone with GOA (yet again).

Status - £8.99 (inc v.a.t) but only able to play on EU servers (world of warcraft, Age of conan, Lord of the Rings Online, Pirates of the burning sea + others.

£9.49 (inc v.a.t) and able to play on both US and EU servers - Everquest 1 and 2, Vanguard + a couple of others.

Warhammer - £10.31 (exc v.a.t from what i have been told thusfar) so add another 17.5% onto that (UK or any country that pays v.a.t) and you are only able to play on EU servers. With it being also GOA, it has completly put me off, i have had my chance to get into the beta but i didnt take it, why should i. i am not going to pay that price and get a real shitty service.

US servers seem to be absolutly great and going well from all the feedback reports so far, however EU servers have had the worst start in subscriptional based mmo's ever from all reports.

Still, i may have bitten if they had stayed at the standard price with all the others (£8.99) especially with the economy being in the shit as it currently is.

Your post has failed.
