- Guys, why is nobody commenting on the extremely awesome RvR preview? It is so amazing, or like Paul said: "beating the living crap out of each other" (very visual)

- ok this is for dem3trius and dominuz....tier is a common word used for ranks. Just because Blizzard used it doesnt mean other people can't use it. I've played WoW before and its not that big of a deal. Get over it its just a game. Definition of Tier-one of a series of rows or ranks rising one behind or above another, as of seats in an amphitheater, boxes in a theater, guns in a man-of-war, or oars in an ancient galley. Example: The wedding cake had six tiers. All three tiers of the firm's management now report to one director.

MrGrim(posted Sun May 13 2007)
- Warhammer Orcs have been around as long as Warcraft, if not longer, so don't complain about originality when fantasy is an open source and ideas are constantly being recycled. So behave children :P
Dem3trius(posted Sun May 13 2007)
- Dominuz I couldn't agree more... tier 3 armor. Bleh.
killer4hire(posted Sat May 12 2007)
- Seriously, who gives a shit if WAR looks like WoW or WoW looks like WAR? Was Warhammer the first ever to feature green orcs? I don't think so. Then again, I could care less if it did. Oh, If you're sitting there getting all pissed because someone said it looks like, or ripped off another game, you're fucking lame.
needalife214(posted Sat May 12 2007)
- its true dont even try and dispute it WoW riped off its "looks" from Warhammer really cant wait for this game
Hilibaza(posted Sat May 12 2007)
- GREATEST GAME EVER LET IT COME FAST!!! XD and for the guys that think WAR is a ripoff of WoW... FUCK YOU! WoW is a ripoff of warhammer! Warhammer exists 10 years longer then Warcraft.. if warhammer wouldnt exist warcraft wouldnt neither

- seems like wearing glasses are a requirement for those kind of jobs... And sodabeast you're a pretty clueless idiot lol.
nYfe(posted Fri May 11 2007)
- Sodabeast, I assume you also think Everquest 1 is a ripoff of World of Warcraft, yes? World of Warcraft WAS the first MMORPG ever, you know. /end sarcasm.
sodabeast(posted Fri May 11 2007)
