Statisticaly speaking it has success, 750,000 registered people. and rising.
I wish i could find the numbers of popuplation decress in wow on a mmo site but i cant , But it seems people cant wait to leave wow. So i ask , Is warhammer a wow killer ? Much like wow was a killer to most mmos around , 2005 ,2006 , 2007?.
Now i know one single mmo dose not actully kill another mmo because people will still play the mmo, So don't get angry or think this is meant as a post to flame people or certain mmo's. But more in terms of marketing and sells that drives the game itself , Shows weather or not the game has life or not.
In other words, if the game is on the shelf at the stores, then it must mean the game has some life still because people are buying the mmo.
Wow killer no. inface war's succes happened because of wow, Just like wow's success happened thanks to previous mmos.
The mmo market boomed when wow, gw and eq2 came out. Wow's success was also made by blizzards Huge investment to market it world wide. They even hired big celebs world wide from different contries to promote the darn thing.Even southpark promoted it.
This is why the bliz devs mentioned alot of money is needed to make a game as successful as wow and proved to the war devs that the small amount they invested could do just as good.
Now dont get me wrong both games are great, however blizzard has and still is investing millions promoting their game while war well is not.
i also dont see war going anywhere, it will steadly increase also and prob pas 1 mil as time goes by.
as for wow players leaveing for war. those who crave pvp have probably have. but in terms of pve, bliz has everyone hyped up by allowing the release of a few senarios that poped out of the beta testers. Knowing alone that sarufangs son dies and that silvanas lost her city has everyone itching to play the expantion.
From what i know war has tons of lore that can be used to its advantage. all it takes is the devs to slowly polish the rvr and work overtime on making pve very fun and entertaining and use the lore to its best.

Well, that was easily edited without the insults. aye? This is the reason I cannot buy GTA4 for my $1200 rig built last December.
This is MMORPG, erm. M8.
Games cost a pence to play in mmo space, which makes it work out on the PC vs a consol where asking people to pay beyond the purchase is blasphemy.
I don't like PC game piracy, but lets be honest, mmo's are still not adept to the consol. And if they were, we SWG/EVE vets would leave them in two secs.
Oh gawd. if you were going to point out that a mmo is not adept to a console, use some examples of mmo's that cause a poor console to smoke and choke since i cannot meet the requierments.
both examples you gave can be easly played on the 360 and ps3 at high settings, both consoles do support a keyboard and mouse and youll never disinguish the console player from the pc player.
also keep in mind i never said i support mmos being made on consoles or not. I simply stated the OBIOUS.
Also the simple truth, even iff mmos start to share both pc and consoles in the future. Your minority disciminating voice will be totally ignored by the new influx of players who will take over your spot because you had to try to "prove" somthing.
this is a gamining industry, while companies do try to keep their players happy, they would like to see more $$ out of their products, thus expanding their said products on different platforms.
this is why companies like electroic arts and activision are so huge.
hello kitty online adventures >war and aoc combined.
Omg people do you even have a clue.
This goes for all who posted here.
Why do you think they are many pc games starting to show up on both the 360 and ps3.
because they are almost on par with the pc.
NO damn NO.
Do you guys lack common sence.
The main reason why games lately are being ported to the consoles is because of PIRACY.
any new pc game comes up and the darn day it is released you can get it free off different torrrents ect (like emule). Many companies that make pc games lose alot of money or dont make much as expected due to piracy. This is even bigger in 3rd world countries that offer no proctection against piracy.
yes console games can be pirated also , however its very rare.
Also companies are doing this to broaden thier playerbase.
More and more games are going for consoles while few remain on the pc exclusivly. So hate the darn pirates and all the dungholes who decide to get software for free. they are the ones to blame and hate.
they better get this part right and well open this mmo to as many languages as possible. This is what is making the biggest competition so hard to take down.
Do you currently play a SOE published game?
