I'm predicting a solid launch (500K to 1 Million subscribers) for WAR.  Your usual graphics whores will quit the game and trash talk it, but the majority of that initial influx of  subscribers will be retained.  Most people are about the GAME PLAY, after all.  That's what it comes down to in an MMO.  It will gradually grow over the years and soon threaten  WoW's dominance.  It has just been released and already it is officially in second place.   Not bad.

Wotlk will get its expected splash for a few weeks, but then people will just get bored of it and continually flow to WAR over time.

When I play Warhammer, and I play World of Warcraft. I see vast differences. I dont think one or the other will prevail over each other. I think they are two seperate games, intended for different gameplay styles. I see Warhammer Online alot more RP, and PvP. Where I see World of Warcraft a more PvE game.

Even if it's not released in Asia, the number of 500-1000k is great considering WoW's population is more than half made up of the Asian populace. Realistic western or predominantly English working and speaking individuals is about 2mil+ per continent (USA and Europe areas).

If you honestly believe that then you are an idiot. The mmo market is not big enough for War to dominate. Maybe if it would of launched with WoW and EQ2 but it's too late now.

 

Yes I played WoW and no I play War. Both are great games but im not going to be naive and think that this is the next wow killer

I highly doubt it, it doesn't appeal to a wide enough audience.

I predict 500k or less in 3 months time.
