If I am to understand correctly, NC lost tons of money on the game. If that is so, and I am not crazy, were there not deals to buy the IP from NC from a couple parties of interest? Why would you not sell the IP for what you can get, rather than hold on to it meaninglessly? They are not doing anything with it, the only flicker of hope I ever have from this is someone makes a game like AA, which is unlikely due to the game failing, or NC is holding on to the IP for some unknown reason. God Damnit NCSoft.

 I am staring at a Pre-Order box, and a Retail box. I want to cry.

 Why is there no private server?    I miss this game so much its not even funny, I saw some youtube videos of gameplay and i can't get it out of my head D: 

 what the fuck is the point of this thread? gtfover it

'Nuff said. Albeit, I think they launched better than most MMOs and only because they had a huge amount of servers, I think the reason they have less now is because they don't need as many, and besides, if you want to play a really populated game, there is this one called World of Warcraft, check it out. Lulz.

 Religion? In MY internets?

If WAR RVR is slow, you're doing it wrong.

The mirror classes are designed to mimic their counterparts, not be EXACTLY the same.

Melee healers are not the best 1v1 classes after T1.

The game generally becomes more balanced in higher tier.

It's not all about god damn damage and CC, the classes are designed to do certain things, as are the mastery lines in each class.

The game is designed so not everyone will like every class, they have even stated that openly.

Chosen and Swordmaster are not mirror classes, they play very differently.

I have a Sorceress as my main character, and have played a bright wizard, and see no reason to buff or nerf either of them.

IB and BO are also not mirror classes, then are for different situations.

There is no one class that is best in any situation, the class mechanics are designed to make sure of that, don't try to compare classes that are not mirrored, they are designed for different purposes.

It helps starting out, after that it's more of a status item.

What the hell is the OP on!? Your bow has a 100ft range, throwing weapons are maybe 65, probably less than 50ft. Also, they have one skill that lets them throw it, that does very minimal damage, and is basically to stop people with low health from getting away. You have many skills based entirely around your bow, learn2stance.

Based on the forum topic, "Don't waste your money <trust me>", I would say that Nikoz78's credibility is just undeniable, and knows that because he does not like the game, no one can, thank you for telling us how much we will not like it! :D

I guess in today's world if you make the same old god damn thing that's been done, just dumb it down enough for any little fag to play, everyone loves you, and you are a genious. On the other hand if you try to improve something, and actually be innovative, you get bashed by fags who don't want to lose their level 70s and want the next expansion to continue on a reign of the same old bullshit everyone is comfortable with because it's no different than when it came out. GD Blizzard is a dealer and the players are addicts ffs. If you ever actually do play WAR you will realize that the points of both games could literally not be farther frome ach other. i.e. - WoW is for PvE and WAR is for RvR/PvP... Thus comparing them is pretty much the most stupid thing you could do... You might as well say that Final Fantasy is better than Gran Tourismo... They are made for 2 totally different people, therefore different people will like it for different reasons. Of course, you will conintue to compare the two, trying to predict the future with more posts showing up such as "LAWL WAR WILL KEEL WOW LOLOL!!11" and "WAR VS WOW ELL OH ELL". Exactly like when gd AoC was coming out.

Also, Open Beta doesn't start till September seventh, so you haven't taken itnerest in the game so why talk about it wtf srsbsns.

Aw, snap! We're all fanboys cause we enjoy WAR and the OP doesn't! Damn, I'm offended... Sad-sauce /emo.... cry cry cry...

So anyone can leave for the mainland now? are all old accounts active?

But but but but..... MMORPG 1 looks like MMORPG 2, and MMORPG 2 looks like MMORPG 3..... Also, this threads name screams flame.

There are high graphics settings pics floating around somewhere on the intarwebz.

Not sure, when i saw this thread i was going to suggest EVE, lol.

There are pictures of the games graphics turned up all the way floating around the interwebz somewhere, it actually looks pretty nice.

So you've been a long time beta tester and you never learned that half the settings in WAR for visuals are disabled for beta right? The game is really meant for a larger amount of people, so honestly the beta is just supposed to give you a taste. I have been in the beta for a long while now, and this is why i try not to play a beta as a main game... You get bored of the limitations, then when the game actually coems out, you basically have to reroll if you found the class for yourself and spent all your time on it. I played the beta, tried all the classes, found the one for me, and reported what bugs and glitches i found along the way to about level 10 on each class. The combat you are probobly referring to is PvE, which the game is not designed for... it is designed for RvR DAoC style - large amounts of players in an all out war. You don't really get to test that in a closed beta, but the preview weekend was pretty awesome for trying that out and I loved it a lot. The world design is good and bad. The good is you don't have to wander around trying to find out what the hell you have to do, it's very simple: you start in a warcamp and grab the quests there, and do them , move to the next warcamp etc. If you get bored of that you look in your lfg window, do PQs or scenarios, or even go to the open RvR part of the zone, which isn't hard to find. Although these areas may be deserted in beta, if you played the preview weekend you would know what it was like with 2500 people to a server. The bad is generally it makes the world seem less open, although throughout joining scenarios and doing PQs i never really noticed. I am also a long time MMORPG player.

Simply, stating that one MMO will kill another is pretty unwise. WoW has what 40 million subscribers? And still the smallest mmo's are staying up. If an mmo is killed, it's almost always because of itself.

How in the hell do you not have enough money for skills? Did you level completely off of exploration?

Nop, they will be offering the same system SOE offers, which is you use the same account for both, and pay $20 to have both accounts open.
