Does anyone really believe WoW has 10 million active subscribers?  I've always thought they used interesting wording, I think they have 10 million accounts some are active, some are inactive, some are closed.  If blizzard had 10 million active accounts all paying for 6 months to get the cheapest rate possible $12/month and they didn't make any other money at all from transfers, other games like starcraft/diablo/etc, the card game etc, they would be pulling in $360 a quarter alone, but it's public record they brought in less than $300 million last quarter and that would have included all the other forms of income I mentioned.

"Open seemless world like wow"

When was WoW ever an "open" or "seemless" world?

 

make a guess , you are trying hard to look stupid

 

WoW isn't seemless, you just don't notice the loading between zones. 

If there were separate instances between zones you wouldn't be able to see someone who was across the boundary.  It would be easy to prove your statement if someone were standing 5 ft away across the boundary and you couldn't see them.  Just because they load textures/models when you get close to another zone doesn't mean it's a separate instance or that the world isn't seamless.  We all know the game isn't 100% seamless because there are some loading screens, but a majority of the game is seamless.

I saw some knockback in one of the videos, I think that is the perfect form of CC.  Interrupt someone, take off their target and send them back 15 feet.  You never really lose control of your character.  I was glad to read they plan on not being heavy into CC as it was the thing I hated the most about WoW.

I think OP is just a weak troll, but in case he's not, here is an explanation that might help...

Recipe: Chocolate Milk

Ingredients: Chocolate and Milk

In WoW you might have the chocolate and you might have the milk, but if your character didn't buy or find the RECIPE: Chocolate Milk he can't make chocolate milk.

In warhammer if you have chocolate and you have milk you can mix them together and get chocolate milk.  You don't have to buy the RECIPE, you just mix it yourself.  And if you happen to have some jalapenos or a banana handy, you can crush them up and add them to your chocolate milk to see if you like it better that way.

Hope that helps.

I don't see any MMO ever eliminate the timesink part of MMOs. The longer you spend the faster/higher you progress.

I think that's fine, for me the question is can someone be competitive playing only a few hours a night vs someone who plays 6+ hours a day.  WoW gear scales through the roof with each set much better than the previous to the point that you aren't really competitive unless you're at the cutting edge.  I'd much rather see the big jumps happen early to get people competitive (even if they are still at a bit of a disadvantage), then put the cutting edge 5-10% above the previous tier.  If 5-10% isn't enough incentive for people, make the gear look a lot cooler.

The only thing I see from this is that no longer will the game be segregated by hardcore/casual, but it is being done so that no matter what stage of progression your at anyone will be effective and helpful to the overall WAR effort, regardless of play style.

This sounds awesome to me, exactly the style of game I'd like to play.

Coming right from the Dev team that RvR WILL have MORE content for RvR. Will you be upset when it takes 2-3 hours to take a castle/keep and you dont have the time to devote to kill the king to get the best gear?

If it's not instanced I'd hope it would take a lot longer than 2-3 hours, especially considering the end result is one faction losing access to a capital city for a full day. I'd love to see sieges last multiple days. I'd like to log in at night an relieve the group at the front lines. I want epic, epic is not pillar humping in 2v2 for a few hours a week with n in-game (other than epeen) ramifications and epic is certainly not "killing" the same boss every week and having addons tell me I need to move or to "get ready for the next big thing that will wipe the party" or I need to not hit so hard because some big meanie will one-shot me if I hit too hard.

 So at the end of the showdown its ---Hardcore -1- and Casuals - 6- i think its clear as to who the real winner is. If anything WoW is the most casual friendly mmo on the market atm and your still complaining.

Who's complaining?  All I see in your posts is, "WAAA!  Only people who raid should get decent gear.  PvP sucks because it's not a scripted encounter I can run over and over and over again week after week and if I don't have gear that is 100x better than everyone else I get pwnd.  WAAA!"

   I hope war uses casual as cannon fodder and rewards them with better gear just for dying more than anyone on the battle field. Shut em up somewhow.

   Why dont you casual players stop whining and Defend Halaa so us hardcore players can get the World Buff as were grinding Badge Gear? I mean Blizzard went so far as to supply gear that is just as good as most Tier 5 through doing Heroic non-raid dungeons and you still complain.

While I find your constant whining and crying about casuals "whining" somewhat amusing (since it's hardcore raiders who do all the whining and crying), it is amazing how ignorant you are to simple economics.  We're supposed to be impressed because you have 6+ hours a day to waste watching youtube videos to see how to down a boss, farm mats and maybe get in 3-4 hours of raiding?  You honestly think Blizzard wants to say goodbye to 90% of their customer base because 2 hours or less per day isn't hardcore enough for you?

Try not to min/max so much, people aren't saying, "don't have gear" or "gear shouldn't matter."  They're saying don't make daily time invested >>> skill.  Casuals don't want handouts, they want to be competitive. 

It sounds like you enjoy WoW hopefully you'll stay there, after all the "casuals who enjoy PvP" migrate over to Warhammer you can enjoy your game without us...

Finally got my gamestop order cancelled and true to form Amazon gave me my codes immediately.

So now that it's been 4 days or so, Gamestop finally sends me the keys, WTF!

I gave up, I just noticed the in-game item is for PvE anyway.  Amazon was quite a bit cheaper and it looks like the code might already be ready.  Now the only downside is the ebgames.com website isn't letting me cancel... :(

Amazon rocks! I just put in my cancel request at GameStop,

 

Did Gamestop ever resolve it?  They just did the same thing to me.  A week ago I pre-ordered the CE and after a few days I sent an email asking if they were going to send me the code and I got a response to wait 48 hours (not including weekends).  After a full week went by I sent another email and they sent me an Age of Conan key similar to the email you posted... :(  I replied that was for the wrong game and haven't heard anything since.

I like the ebgames preorder item better than the amazon one so I hope they get it right soon as I don't want to cancel...
