This is one of the more original ideas I've seen crop up in the MMORPG genre recently. 

It's amazing how LEGOs is marketing itself but it is one of those toys that really gets kids imaginations going.  It will be interesting to see where this game goes!

  Yeah I want to see the long version too. 

I wonder if they sped things up because they realized they were giving away secrets on how they organize/input animations.

But probably not, they just would have cut it out if they thought that.    If that's the case then the long version would be interesting in a techincal kind of way.

I want a Pygmy Wolf!

Cool table OP!

Nice to see the majority of people on here getting a healthy WAR education though... that's gotta be a good thing.

The education will never be enough.  It will be explained that Warhammer came before Warcraft a million times before the release of WAR, and it will be repeated a millions times after the release.

And there will STILL be an endless stream of WoWtards who make the same ignorant assumption about the game 

It's like Chaos corruption really, there's no stopping it.  But that doesn't mean we stop fighting it! 

One of the first things to really grab my attention about WAR was when I heard that they would not have any stealth classes.  

It's really obvious why they did if if you think about game design.  Apart from making PvP balance a nightmare, stealth characters make PvE grouping BORING as heck for everyone else.

'Where's the rogue?'

'Oh he snuck on ahead and is checking out all the cool stuff before everyone else while we get to sit around on our rears.  If we're really lucky he may kill some of the mobs before we even get a chance to see them!   Let me know when he comes back, I'm going AFK.'

I hated grouping with stealth characters in City of Heroes/Villains, I hated it in WoW. 

The lack of stealth means that WAR's PvE grouping will take place as a *group* rather than waiting around while someone gets to play their own game of Metal Gear Solid on your time.

And I also agree that real men don't need stealth in PvP :) 

It will be one of the elven classes I bet. It's always the freaking elves.

Fortunately WAR has elves on BOTH sides, so there won't be much problems of balance as long as there is an equivalent classes for High and Dark Elves to satisfy player's love of pointy ears :)

"You don't have to do a thing; you will automatically be migrated to the new monthly subscription rate under your existing subscription plan when your current subscription plan comes up for renewal on or after April 2, 2007. We appreciate your support and continued participation in our community."

I always love it when a company raises fees and then claims that automatically raising them is the same as being 'convenient' to their customers.

Everyone knows this is just a tactic that takes advantage of people who might not notice the sudden increase in fees and not cancel until a couple of months later.

If they were really interested in their customers they would tell people to re-subscribe at the new rate or else their subscriptions will be cancelled.   Of course they won't get that income from those people who take longer to notice the hike and quit.
