Why resub to a game that will close within 6 months?

At 10 dollars at amazon.com it shows it fails as a new game. I don't see EA supporting it longer than at breakeven point. That point is 250K subs for EA... and they are already under this number if you believe Xfire.

But of course www.xfire.com is no good for some.

The only thing is ... Xfire always was right in the past (TR, VA, AoC), so why shouldn't it be right with War, a game which wasn't even ready to be published.

Other MMORPG's survived with less subs, but as this is an EA game and economy is in a depression.

So Why resub for a game that has such a dark future? Go talk with TR fans and the others that have closed their curtains.

 

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

To the question in thread title: yes.

Yes. Really enjoying WAR at the minute, not a bad game at all.

No.  I bought a 2 month card and haven't even used the second month part of it.

The performance problems were honestly the biggest problem for me.  I can deal with alot of things, but I can't deal with random hitches caused by poor coding for UI element interaction.

resub ?  I never left -- best PvP MMO to date.

Just canceled my account. And subbed for Vanguard.   

All WAR has is scenarios and RvR

Scenarios were fun for a lil while but the small number of maps, bad designing of some maps and how they broke maps into tiers kinda killed it. Sure WoW has less maps but there a PvE focus game.  Mythic shouldve took pointers from fps.  Seeing as its a  major feature.

RvR, while fun gets old after a few hours each day.  And keeps to me were just super tiny dungeons. Sure they were dungeons with PKs in them but most games with a pvp server have that + bigger dungeons. 

Better than Guild Wars imo but I cant see playing WAR for a year or longer specialy 15 dollars a month.

The Halloween event was kinda weak even compared to F2P games but seeing as they just released I didnt give it much thought but the last event was realy sad. I get the impression that this is all im going to get for my 15 dollars a month, free cash shop items I have to grind for.

Ill probaly sub up periodicaly but not longer than a month. 

Anyone remember the old devs before mythic took over WAR?  Totaly different game.

I know what I said.  I am entitled to my opinion.  Dont try and cover your ignorance now, you made yourself look silly with your comment and you got called on it.  Its ok to admit you picked the wrong guy to try that first MMO BS on dude.
 

Enjoy.

lol EQ doesnt make you a vet sorry bud.   Seasoned "maybe" but to a old timer like me nay still wet behind the ears. 

And the fact you said this game has the best pvp ever makes you a newb.      Lol I played a mmorpg in 99 lol   and eq at that.   Jeez man atleast lie and say UO itll give u more points then eq. Plus what other games have you played not alot of pvp ones i assume since you chose EQ of all games in a pvp discussion.

No the game just plain bad.  Once all the new wears off and you realize that open RVR is just a zerg fest with the winner decided by who gets bored first from res zerging, only 1 scenerio runs regularly in any tier, combat is boring you fight the same way no matter pve, pvp or class, keeps are a joke and a downgrade from DAOC, static seige points, and some of the worst pve ever.  

What was Mythic thinking

I lead a large guild on one of the most popular WAR realms.  We started our guild on day 1 of the head start and have been going strong ever since.  We have over 250 members and 15-25 online every night.  We have several new applicants to the guild every day.  The RvR action is non-stop.   If anything, I need a break.

If you want some serious RvR action and are willing to make a long term commitment to your character and your guild and want to be part of a strong fun community then please come play WAR with us.   If you are an ADHD, fotm (flavor of the month) mmo gamer, please stay away from WAR. We dont need you.  WoW is more your speed.

I honestly dont care what the mindless me-too rabble thinks of WAR. 

WAR is boring?  Thats laughable.

WAR is RvR only?  Pure ignorance.

Deserted realms?  Not my realm, we are growing almost too fast.

Declining game?  Not hardly.   The game is moving to fewer, higher population realms but is growing, not declining.

X-Realm scenarios?  I would cancel my sub.

Arena?  I would rather have my teeth drilled.

Do I sound like I am trying to sell WAR to you?  I hope not.  From what I have read in this thread, most of you would not like it.

 

 

 

 

LOL at person who has no clue what a PVP MMO really should be.

WAR is deficient in many ways... but glad you enjoy it.... easy mode for the win I guess.

 

hey now, it IS pvp; just wow-style pvp, i.e. you don't lose anything if  you die.

not everyone can handle losing 3 or 4 nicely-fitted battleships in a day and come back the next day for more. 

No from me. Just another rushed crappy mmo with no substance and fun lastability. Too much easy mode. Its games like this and AoC that have put the mmo market into the gutter.

Still awaiting that game that held mu excitment like SWG did. Ever since release of that mmo's have been rapidly going downhill being carbon copies of each other.

ROLF,  and when did he said he was a vet?  Butt hurt much?

WAR is the best pvp mmo for me also. Not your opinion and feeling like yours are better? OMG QUICK BULLY ME  AROUND!!!

i wouldint even reinstall if they gave me a free life time pass i quit 2 days after buying after seing how dumbed down the game was its the kinda game a 8 year old could play

No, no, no and no.

Game's a WoW-clone, bad one even, with some pvp thrown in. No thanks.

I like good games like WAR not crap like WOW.  I am resubbing for 3 months.

This guy isnt for real is he ?  You try and act cool and hit me with the "new to MMOs?" comment because I said I liked WAR.  In response I  point out when I first started up on MMOs which was '99.  Now you want to try and act even more foolish and ignorant by brining up pvp -- you are so desperate here, it isnt even funny. 
 

EQ - Tallon Zek (pvp server)

EQ2 - Nagafen (pvp server)

WoW - Smolderthorn (pvp server)

Lineage 2 (all open pvp servers)

WAR (ORVR server)

Also, I dont see any reason to lie and say I played UO or any other game if I didnt.  I can make you look stupid without lying (it isnt hard to do at all).

Wait... did you just say you resubbed Vangaurd..

No, I will not be re subscribing. I have gotten to 34 during my free month and never continued my subscription. I am still following the game, reading patch notes and forums and so far Mythic totally failed to entice me into giving it another go. Unlike AoC I do not consider myself burned by the game (and it's devs) so I am open about trying it again down the road, the recent patch just did not do it for me.

After the massive nerf to the Bright Wizard yesterday I would not consider paying them any more. Might have to give WoTLK a try :(
