Yeah yeah everybody loves WAR atm. This is the same process of events as every other game has gone through. "OMG, a new game. If you dont love it theres something wrong with you"

6 months later when the newness wears off and the typical fanboi starts to look at the game objectively:

"Piss, moan, bitch, complain, /close account"

LoL AoC didnt even take 6 months.

Sadly there is a nugget of truth to what you are saying but I fear this post is going to get mobbed.  I really enjoy the game so far but just as with AoC I am a bit hesitant to call myself a fanboi.  There are things in WAR that need to be improved and time will be the true test of the staying power of the game.

Very true.

Why so much cynicism in this particular genre of gaming? It boggles the mind. Either play the games for what they are, or, go find a new hobby.

Compared to the AoC chatter this site got after launch WAR has been quiet. Then again I've been playing and haven't checked here often.

Ive been playing WAR since beta and still I'm not impressed with it ...just uninstalled it and took it back to the store. Its not a real PVP MMO....

Yeah, you didn't take it back. It's an MMO. Its a computer game, period. Stores don't take them back anymore.

Also, what exactly is this thread for? More unconstructive b.s.?

This needs to be locked.

Agreed another Troll Post. Kids these days

There is a difference between a good release and a bad release, imo.

Bad release: people start doing what you said from day 1.  Examples, AoC, VG, etc.  And only gets exponencial.  1 week after release, AoC forums were like a battlefield.  There were more action in there than in game

Good release: the only bad things said are posts like yours or people saying "its boring because I didnt like it"

There arent problems with lacking of content or bugs.  I am not saying there arent bugs, I am saying people arent posting 1 million threads about how the game is lame becauase the million bugs.

So, WAR had an excellent release.  How success will it be?  I guess we will have to wiat until people reach tier 4 and we do see what they think of it.

We will have to wait and see what will come of WAR.

But posts like yours, proves me that WAR did an excellent release (even with the GOA Gate, the Grace Period Gate, etc).

I /bow to Mythic for doing an excellent job.

Im a troll because I described the inevitable process that almost every game goes through involving fanbois?  Ok. Guess I struck a nerve with the fanbois here.

Why do people always say this....

You CAN take a pc game back to a store. There have been about 6 threads on this single topic several times in the last few months here on MMORPG. It has been proven with out a shadow of a doubt that you CAN take pc games back to the store and get full cash refunds.

Some of these means may be dis-honest at times, but it is possible to do so.

If the guy says he took his game back, he more than likely did. You can't prove he didn't so do not call him a liar.

You're a troll because you knowingly started a thread which will fire up both fanboys and non-fanboys into yet another unconstructive conversation. Do you honestly think you've made some kind of damn revolation with your statement? Are you the one to bring this kind of information in light for everyone for the first time? No, most everyone knows what has happened, what happens, etc. We don't need another useless thread about it.

The difference is that AoC reviews of OB were much more negative than WAR reviews. WAR actually released in a good and complete state, whereas AoC really didn't. If WAR loses subscribers, it will be because a person doesn't like the game, not because they physically cannot play it due to Mythics mess-up or hardware constraints.

However, you are right. People at launch are still getting the new car smell and wearing the rose colored glasses. The true test comes after two weeks have passed. It's around this time that you have people hitting max level and either are praising the game or complaining about a lack of content. This is also around the time people become bored, and the new game smell wears off. If the majority of posters on this forum are still happy after two weeks, I'd say it is safe to step into the water and give it a go. But that's just my experience with this forum since 2005.

I say that there is quite a few trolling whinning threads about WAR also, just check this forum. This thread for one has no point.

WAR release was ok but it would have been better if they had released it with all the cities and the homan tank. Mythic have probably done a ok job but the only excellent release I seen is Guildwars, no buggs there.

Also the WAR release in EU was far from the one you had in NA, would be intresting to see the sub numbers on both places as soon as the first month is done.

I give the release 3 of 5.

Game Forums Represent less than 10% of the games population.
seeing as how WAR doesnt have official forums it'll be less likely to turn into an AoC.

I dont like WAR, never played it , never bought it...As i mentioned in some of the other posts on the forum,people dont perceive things equally, and they see different things in the same item(in this case a video game).

 For me,personally  it was enough the baseline of WAR(from the video trailers), not to like it.The LORE where Orcs,Gnomes, Elves,Dwarves, fight among eachother it has been used in almost every single Role Playing Game till today,that it became bannal to oblivion.Why would something of the "same material" just wrapped up in a different edition would be something "the most anticipating",a thing for which im going to bash with other people defending it?

I really cant understand the psychology of the "fanboys"....

Its nothing to do with "fanboys" its these stupid Sandbox MMO kids that want the next big thing and if they cant get it they go on forums and whine.

I dont mind constructive feedback, negative or positive it helps the game to realise its weakness's but whern people purposely come on the forums to ruin the game for others thats when the point changes. 

It happened in AoC, someone says their leaving thread, next day their on the forums complaning, but why? they've left. They have no need to keep telling the game its problems,  once we've heard them and  we already know their motives its to push people away from the game.

The "if people read my opinion they will be put off the game to" tactic.

personaly im not a fan of WAR but im enjoying the game so far, and hate to see another MMO go to waste like AoC because of the forum kiddies that want the next best thing

Fantasy games are popular.  The sales of such games shows this and that is why we will continue to see the same fantasy games with a different skin. 

Until a developer breaks the mainstream and shows that a steampunk, scifi, or even perhaps a western influenced MMO can be successful we will be stuck with what we have.
