How many of you play MMO'S, FPS or Sim games, how many different Genre's do you have. Personal choice is STILL personal choice. I will play what i wish, I don't give a damn about the companies who are competeing for sales. I care about the games I play. so If I like WoW and War and Stagate-worlds once released, does that mean i have to choose one over the other ?. No I can and most likely will play all.

The childish mentality of " My daddy is better than your's " really need's to stop. WoW and War are two totality Seperate games, both will and have  Seperate identities. WoW is not going anywhere unless Blizz decides to pull the plug, And I'm sure the same can be said of War and all the other MMO's out there. so instead of bickering, do what the games are meant for. play and enjoy, Instead of compare and destroy.

 

Man....can I just say "I love you?"

I totally agree.

LOL !!!! This is the funniest thing I have ever seen . I have played Warcraft and I have known Warcraft for about 3 years now and Warhammer you sir are no Warcraft.

I want a good game to come along to compete with WOW but Warhammer is not even close. In fact I would be willing to bet that from this point forward we will see a huge drop off in warhammer subs. The game sucks and people will play for a month or 2 and then when WOTLK comes out War Hammer will be seen as the biggest flop in MMO history.

Well, the first part is exactly what I wanted to say.

I want a GOOD game to come along to compete with WOW and indeed Warhammer is not even close.

It doesn't even matter to make an extensive review of War because every normal person will come to the exact same conclusion when playing it after a few days/weeks (depending on their expertise and former knowledge of MMO's).
It won't be the biggest flop in MMO history as so much worse XXX has preceded it, but I don't see a normal adult person paying to play “advanced dumber CS" beyond the first two months.
I would even say that someone who likes this kind of MMO stopped intellectually at the age of 12 and even this is an insult to the normal boys/girls of 1996.

OMG this is soooo funny!!  "Advanced dumber CS"......ROFL!!

I have been trying for weeks now to figure out WHAT IT IS that I found missing/wrong with Warhammer and I think you JUST said what FINALLY registered with me as to what I, PERSONALLY, couldn't shake. 

In several posts I said, "when I'm playing WAR, it isn't very immersive....it feels like I'm just simply playing a game with other people who are playing a game of PvP....it's lacking personality, or charm, or something...I can't quite put my finger on exactly what it is."

THAT IS what it is!!  It's COUNTERSTRIKE wrapped in an MMO wrapper!  They've added the fantasy setting, the questing, the public quests, the Tome of Knowledge (which is wonderful, by the way), but what they either were unABLE to add or didn't CARE to add.....was the SOUL of an MMO....the immersive living breathing sense of being a part of a fully functional world that has MUCH more happening in it than just WAR and fighting.  It's Counterstrike for prior MMO lovers.  LOL

The people that are playing it, probably don't particularly LIKE FPS style games....but they WANT a PVP-focused game that's a little more, perhaps, than Guild Wars.  This may also explain why there is so little CHAT in Warhammer.  The chat in CS and CS Source, isn't the type you'd see in MMOs EITHER.  Actually...if you just log in to play and don't play with people you know....there's very little "chat" to speak of.

Wow.  I feel this great sense of relief finally knowing how to put into words what I felt playing the game.

And while this feeling may not be what EVERYONE feels when playing WAR....it PERFECTLY describes what I felt.  I felt like I was playing an FPS game disguised as an MMO.  People do work in "teams" to kill, but it has about as much personality and fantasy immersion to it, for ME.....as CS does.

 While i appreicate your exitment about your new toy and hope it does well competition is a good thing. You are forgetting a few things. Wow works on most systems to incldue lap tops, There are some folks that love what works on their system without laying out funds to rebuild yet a noter pc. Wow even works on some ultra mini lap tops. So unless warhmarrer has really middle of the road or low end system specs that work, Na they won't touch many folks jumping ship just cause a new game is out.

 I do hope your game works out wonderfully well and you have a blast !

And it doesn't. Doesn't run well on my old machine, while wow works like a charm.

FYI to the misinformed people. WAR will be available in Asia.

Their announcement.

The only areas WAR won't be in that WoW reaches is South America and Russia & its satellites (for the time being).

I'm really tired of hearing WoW fanbois rave on about the virtues of that game.  Move on, evolve a bit and expand your horizons.  It may not be Warhammer that does it for you, or AoC or VSoH or w/e, but  at least open your mind to the possibilities of something else.  Every time someone brags about how great WoW really is, i feel sorry for them.  It is a dumbed down game, intentionally easy for sheep to get.  And face it people. Most (not all, mind you) of that fan base are sheep.  Blizzard packaged a decent product, designed for millions to enjoy, and they know you are sheep.  They caught a whiff of end game turmoil and had to hurry up with an expansion before they lost it all.  And all of you who stuck in there, spending hours in dungeons hoping for a tier piece (and usually not getting it), what did you get after expansion?  Green drops that were better than your epics.  Sad that so many are easily led by the nose... Fools.

Well, in all honesty, WoW is basically one of, if not, the best MMO out there right now.

But does that mean that all the other new MMOs are worthless? Of course not.

Doesn't anyone remember what WoW was like when it was first released? Shitty. Loaded with bugs and the servers weren't always too stable. Almost any MMO sucks when it first comes out. It really takes about 6 months for enough stuff to get hammered out of it for it to really start to shine. I think that Warhammer still has a chance of matching WoW, it'll just take a while.

WoW has been out for three years, and is closing in on their third expansion. Obviously it's going to have a head start quality-wise. Give it time, and I think that we'll see something usurp WoW's throne soon enough.
