to play this Over WoW, especially already established WoW players, when you make a game especially an mmorpg in a high competitve time, you make a mmorpg designed to be better than the rest, designed to give you a reason to want to play Warhammer over WOW or what ever mmorpg your currently playing.
Like you ever see those burger king/Mcdonalds ads? Their both hamburgers and fast food but in order to get your buisness over the other you got to give them a reason why your burger is better. One will claim there a % more beef, the other will claim they have more variety etc. The problem with warhammer is it doesnt have a reason to play it over already established mmorpgs with more content and expansions already out. When it was released it offered the same thing I could play in other mmorpgs pretty much at their base as well. But its not just Warhammer its most mmorpgs today. Datnews.blogspot.com |

I'm not sure about that. I'd play WAR if the scenarios weren't so damned bland. The game itself was decent quality.
I tried getting back into WoW to try the Death Knight and Outland, but I couldn't get past the Knight starter area because of the frustrating graphics (clipping, bad particle effects, low poly count, unsynced combat animation). Anarchy Online aged better than that, oddly enough.
Having read alot of Warhammer I used to dislike the WoW-WAR comparisons, but in retrospect I can see why people called WAR for WoW 2 before. Artistically it looks like the same game with a much better graphic engine. If only the gameplay content would be equally good : / WAR has alot of good ideas, they just can't get it right. |

Warhammer does have one BIG advantage - you can PvP right from the start and level (and gear) up by doing so. I find it almost im[possible to level alts in WoW now, especially before they hit L20 and can run Arathi Basin to level (which is quite slow, BTW). I have more than 70 characters in Warhammer (or did before the last merges) - the great majority in T2 (where the fun stops). |

Good point! I think I had a couple dozen chars at the high end of T2 too. Couldn't put my finger on it, but pvp started sucking after that. I have a maxed out Magus too and did pretty well, but it was so damn repetive that I went back to Team Fortress 2 and grinding dustbowl. |
