As I've said before, its really not about which one is better. "Better" is a subjective term, its all about which game is right for which player.
Some love WAR, some love WoW, hell some people even love Horizons and Vanguard.
I loved Daoc, and my love for Daoc is a large factor in why I love WAR. (I rate Daoc as the 2nd best MMO I've ever played for me, just behind UO which is the best one I've played). Due to the similarities between WAR and Daoc, WAR potentially could become one of my favourite MMOs to date (though it wont top UO), but I'll have to wait and see on that.
Beats me why people have to be so negative about other peoples choices, but I guess thats human nature.
