Yeah, I believe LotRO had a 7 day grace period, which I though WAR would also have, but I guess not. My friend is really mad about this since he pre-ordered from Amazon and he's not getting his copy until the 25th.
The only problems have have is that it takes a long time to exit the game, and sometimes the game won't exit out all the way. I also notice that the game will stall for a second every now and then.
My brother has a lower end system than me and just got a radeon 4670 (or something like that) for the game and he says it lags so much the game is unplayable. His system should be fine to run the game.
I hope they fix these issues soon.
The game was pretty much what I expected it to be. The standard quests were like what they had in WoW and LotRO, the Public Quest were fun, reminded me of FFXI with their Campaign battles and Besieged, though PQs are much shorter, at least in Tier 1 zones. And the PvP was pretty much in line with what I thought it would be, though I had more fun with it than I thought I would.
I do have to say though, I was having more fun with the classes in WAR than I did with WoW and LotRO, especially the Witch Hunter.
I played it at PAX.
How the combat works is that you string punches or some other basic attack together to build up your endurance so you can do your more powerful attacks. It's definately more action based and faster paced than CoX, which is a good thing. And it solves one of CoX's biggest problems, that being the wait for endurance.
I did see that you get items and have an inventory, though I wasn't sure what they were for. Also I very much enjoy the look of the game and the art is a lot more appealing than what was done for CoX. Though I haven't tried DCO I would say CO is looking better. I just hope they fix the content issues that CoX has.
