I voted 8. For me, WAR is a very good game, and will most likely become my primary game of choice. So far, everything that I seen, heard and expected from WAR has come to pass. I wrote down some other mmo´s  to make the list more easy to read;

10: [NOT AVAIL................]
9  : Eve Online (expired SSI)
8  : Warhammer Online (Mythic)
7  : Guild Wars (ArenaNet)
6  : Dark Age of Camelot (Mythic)
5  : Lord of the Rings Online (Turbine)
4  : World of Warcraft (Blizzard)
3  : Vanguard Saga of Heroes (SOE)
2  : Age of Conan (Funcom)
1  : Anarchy Online (Funcom)

Please notics that is my list of rating. Do not get offend by it.

I'm still not sure.

I like it alot !! I give it a 9 and will probably be a 10 after the game has a chance to to fix the small things.

Its ok, but it is no MMO, its a single player game played online.

you're thinking of AoC.... WAR is all about group play.

well, about 70% of the people rate it a 6 or better, that's pretty positive results

Where?

Due to the massive imbalance of classes between Order and Detruction ..  (and don't give me the bullshit they're balanced, cause anybody who claims that is playing Destruction... )

I'm rating it a 4 at best..

When I can watch one DoK kite and heal through 8 people beating on him, just to run into a group of 6 Chosens who take no damage...  I'm saying screw this game.   If I wanted one sided skill-less PvP I'd continue to play WoW.

Gave it a 5/10.

Pros

*Nice attempt at implementing PvP into every aspect of gaming, however there are many Cons with this

*Character customization is pretty decent

*Characters can look pretty cool.  The art is decent.

*Dialogue and story from the quests are excellent.

Cons

*Even though you can level through PvP (almost all through scenarios), the scenarios themselves just turn into an XP grind and you do the same thing over and over again.  At some point it just feels like grinding regular mobs.

*Leveling through PvE is extremely bland even with the good dialogue.  The world is a straight line and the quests are repetitive and dull.

*The over-hyped PQs.  I don't understand why people adore these.  Almost all of them are just "Slaughter X amount of this mob, then slaughter X amount of champions/gather X amount of this, then kill the Hero".  It's the same thing over and over with the exception of a unique one every.....well I've only seen about 2 unique ones.

*The PvP is also over-hyped.  With the amazing PvP creation Mythic came up with long ago (DAoC) you would expect much more than this.  The PvP is just a simple, fast, smash skills, "cluster of people" festivals.  If you're in a guild group, then it's just a simple zerg.  And don't get mad at me for saying this, I'm not a fan of WoW at all, I'm not a WoW noob, but can we just be honest and say that this PvP feels extremely similar to WoW?

*Sieges (at least at T2, and I'm just guessing it's relatively the same later) are an absolute joke compared to DAoC.  Sieges on TILES?  You can't move the siege engines?  It feels like a board game.  Also, the keep is just a tower with 3 tiny floors.  Very unimaginative and dull.

Playing off unimaginative and dull, I feel that the game is, overall, just that: unimaginative and dull. I don't understand how Mythic could go BACKWARDS in an MMO.  My expectations from the team that made arguably the best PvP in an MMO ever in DAoC, are pretty dang high.  They didn't come close at all.

P.S : Don't waste your time trying to REFUTE this post.  Reviews of games are OPINIONS.  You might have different tastes and standards than me, so arguing will prove nothing.  Thank you.

Where?

RvR is all group play. This is a RvR game, not a PvE game.

I got to give it a 9.  Its really good.  Not the best but it is really good.

Hmmm, for 90% of my Exp I seem to be playing in PvE.

Ain't no such thing as a 10.

9.8/10 or just 10/10

I gave it an 8 to be fair.

It's a good game, exactly what I was looking for in a UK/US MMORPG, but I guess I'm more of an Asian MMORPG fan, but I do have to say, the RvR is exactly what I'm looking for in this MMORPG.

If you do the math, the makeup of this WAR forum is about 37% troll (the 7 or  below ratings).  There's no way this game deserves lower than an 8 rating.  Especially compared to the other MMOs out there.

Ehh...the game is a RvR game, so if you take the PvE out of it, then ehh, it's a 10, but if you add the PvE, then ehh, well, it's not such a good game after all, but I still give it a 10 because I love the RvR.

      At the 271 vote mark it looks like the majority of people like the game......The problem with these boards is that a few naysayers sound like 99 percent of the people hate the game when it is only a very small minority......I think every game needs a rating system on each board.......

Hell after 700+ votes it's still 8.93 on the mmorpg rating.  I was surprised by that as much as the votes on this poll.

 

The fact that 18% rated it a 10, PERFECT, can't get any better, right when it launches, shows that the numbers are skewed quite a bit by fanbois or each WAR box came with a set of rose colored glasses.

The scores are going through a normal phase they do when ever a game is changed from "In Development" to "Released".  The game whose status is changed gets a super high rating and all the other games' scores go down. It goes back to normal.

I was a bit taken aback by that same thing once... but it was explained to me.

378 votes already and over 60% gives the game a 8+

True, no game is perfect :) Maybe I better hadn't add 1,2,3 and 10 :)
