Read it here!
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/239/feature/2240
MMORPG.com's Managing Editor, Jon Wood, has my thanks for FINALLY clearifying the details about WAR (vs WOW) on the front page!

 

Complaint: WAR graphics sux!
Article: "I personally think that people who call the graphics outdated are confusing modernity with art style. So, knowing that, if you’re the kind of person who likes their games to have graphics as photo-realistic as possible, don’t buy WAR. Nothing about WAR looks photo-realistic and it wasn’t meant to..."
CLEARED!

Complaint: Didn't meet my expectations. WoW killer my ass!
Article: "...if you’re hoping for an MMO that is going to turn the post-WoW industry on its ear and blow us away with sandboxy content and totally outside the box systems, you shouldn’t spend your money on this one. I’m also inclined to say though that if this is what you were expecting Warhammer Online to be, then you probably should have looked at any of the material put out by Mythic over the last few years."

"What I thought that WAR did do well was to bring exciting elements out of existing MMOs and integrating them into WAR’s mechanics. The systems so far as I can tell are pretty solid and when put together make for a really entertaining game."
CLEARED!

 

In conclusion, el-oh-el-oh-ma-ga-wa-ta-ga-bbq-dairyqueen!

don't be offended just cuz i posted this in your thread and didn't pick from one of the other numerous wow-war comparison threads. this forum is getting flooded with them and they're all posted by no one but a bunch of trolling fanbois and haters..

its just getting kinda old... like i said.. do we really need 100 threads on the same topic? c'mon now...

i know i'm not the only one who feels this way.

I know. I feel ya.

But you gotta kinda expect this with WAR since it's just been LAUNCHED!!! Like c'mon, you didn't see this comin?

When a new game comes out and it sells, people talk about them. It's only been out since yesterday. You're an Elite/Long-time Member, so you of all ppl should know.

CRAP! You joined since last month and you're already an elite!!!! Holycow, you must've been spendin too much time on here.

But anyways, you gotta get use to it. I've been here for over a year and I just learn to pick my spots to reply. You'll see this alot around the time of new releases.

Nope you're not but sadly it happens whenever a new game gets released from one of the major developers. There must be 20 threads in the Pub right now with basically the same War related topics and there will be a lot more to come. Best we can do is weather the idiocy and hope it blows over soon.

If you like the same ol cookie cutter games then its the best MMO for you but not for all of us...we  don't like being handheld thru our content. Sad ... a PVP game , but not really a PVP game....

Dude, just go to Disney World. That's all that modern MMO's are today, pretty graphics that hold your hand and tell you where to go and what-to-do.
