Folks can dissagree all they want this is a great game and will take some players from Blizzard. |

I'm really enjoying myself. The game has enough things to do right off the bat that you can keep hopping between types of game play and still effectively level. I tried a Black Orc last night and he was a lot of fun. Looks just like the models from the tabletop game. :) |

Actually, WAR has really surprised me. I wasn't following it much until I got an invite for beta. I'm not a big PvP'er or RvR'r, but for some reason, I'm *loving* it in this game and will definitely be playing it for a long time to come!

Its because its such a funner game than wow, yeah sure, it may not have as much content, as much polish, but im having more fun in a pre-release game than i had last month in a 4 year old game. Kudos to you mythic. |

Lack of customisation really let me down :( In terms of varied weapons and armour. It makes the classes feel very preset and static, unable to craft them into how you want. Like a witch elf from what I've seen can only use daggers and witch elf armour, which all looks like underwear.
I think Eurogamer's review summed it up pretty well by saying in WAR its almost as if your part of an Army rather than crafting a hero. I guess thats Mythic doing away with the loot heavy dependancy from WoW and other MMO's, and trying to focus more on balance for PvP. But for me its not an appealing feature :(
I'm going to wait a few months and probably pick it up for Xmas or something. Theres way too many other games I have on the horizon, for example Fable 2 and Far Cry 2 out on the same day then Fallout 3 the week after.

I chose "enjoying it" because I've only had limited time inside the beta (I don't actually HAVE a beta key, such tends to limit one) but I did very much enjoy what time I had. I gotta say, a lot of the stuff people have said against the game are just plain wrong. Combat isn't slow, though walking IS. I looked past that because they gave me a nice little run skill I can use with some measure of regularity. The UI had a very healthy amount of useful innovation. I only wish I had gotten to play long enough to taste the PvP a little better. I'm positive that such would have been the factor between "Enjoying it" and "Having a Blast!".

It''s one thing to have a opinion, but enforcing one is unconstitutional. |

You will see all the WoW fanbois come to WAR then WOTLK comes out then there back to being WoW fanbois yet again. Theres nothing in this game to say hey play me over WoW im sorry. And i dont even play WoW and i know this. I guess the blind hopeful think that this is the game i guess but who cares what wow is doing IMO if in your case WAR is doing good. Why cant there be more then one Greats and then the next mmos will be called the WoW/WAR killers or somthing of that nature. Keep Blizzard and WoW killers out of statments because it makes who ever says they will lose look stupid. |

It's well put together but on the whole rather generic and not very fun IMHO. It'll do reasonably well because it's pretty solid (on the order of LotRO,) but it won't come close to being a 'WoW Killer.' The combat especially is exceptionally boring on some classes and somewhat fun on others. The PvP is pretty much the same typical stuff you see in other games, though the rewards are nice and the fact that you can lvl and gear up on pvp alone isn't seen much these days. The graphics.. well they are pretty 2004. But if the gameplay is there it doesn't really matter. Personally, the gameplay just isn't there. Though I did enjoy Public Quests... the first 2 times I did them.

I'm in the same boat you are. I hated PvP in WoW and avoided it like the plague. I think the biggest reason I liked the increased leveling speed that they implemented was so that I was able to completely skip Ganklethorn Vale. I've had a lot of fun with PvP in WAR. I think it's due to the combination of meaningful objectives and bolstering to keep things relatively even. How cool is it that you can go into a scenario to level 1 and still make a genuine contribution? WAR includes features that took WoW a year or two to start putting in. It also includes features that WoW has talked about since right after launch, like siege engines. Blizzard, with all their budget, can't pull that off? Come on. And for me, perhaps the best thing about WAR is that it makes guilds genuinely important -- and for more than just getting enough warm bodies to fill up a raid.   |

That's what's great about this game. RVR is extremely easy to get into and get absorbed in.. so even someone who's never PVP's in their life can start having fun with it right away. Waiting for Fallen Earth, World of Darkness, Old Republic, FFXIV |

Talk about thinking too much...... did I miss the part where Elsabolts said it would kill WoW? |
