So ive got my eyes on returning to War, im prepared to go EU or US, any experiences? is the game still just all about the trial? or is there some higher level fun.
 
I would also like to know the current state of the game. I do miss it and am currently debating over whether to re-sub to War, Aion or give Mortal Online a go.
 
I've just unsubbed from WAR. As for the current state, well it's low populated but plenty happening. The downside however is it feels stale and everyone's waiting for the next pvp mmo to pull them off the game. The community that is left on the EU side, is the single worst community I have experienced in any game. I've had a lot of enjoyment playing it over the last few months, but the fact I've unsubscribed regardless speaks for itself. Unless you plan on joining one of the top EU guilds for either faction, as I did, then you won't enjoy getting zerged by them (a common complaint for casual players), however even being in arguably the best EU guild wasn't enjoyable enough for me to ignore the appalling community flame wars.
 
well i have two weeks free time so time to play again at least i think the take over by mythic might be a good thing although US servers and maintenance at 14-18 hours might be a problem for your hard core jobless/nightshift punter.
 
i loved this game when it first came out, the pvp in tier 1 was brilliant :D but there just isnt enough people playing this game to make it worth while anymore, i loved the PQ's aswell but again you need a lot of people to do them, it also gets really repetitive after awhile because its the same thing over and over as you go up in the tiers, though i never got to the enemys capital, i might resub at some point just to have ago at that alone (if there is enough people playing)
 
Has anyone tried it now it's all U.S. server based? As interested to know if it's less laggy that GOA servers were in large scale open RvR

Patching up with the freebie lasting until the 23rd (I think it was).

Click to expand...

It's not all US server based. The EU servers are hosted in Germany.
 
Going to download the client tonight and have a play over the weekend, hope the server populations have not dropped too much.
 
Im playing on Azgal and ive only got one character to t4 but tbh its dull as dishwater in t4.

Everything other than SCs is zerg warfare which is fun for 15 minutes

SCs in t4 are horrific for a low RR t4er..

t1 Twinking on a trial is moderately good fun
t2 is generally good as is t3 but destruction often outnumber 2:1 so as order its a PITA.

The community is small.. it feels like there is about 200 people on the entire order side... and tbh 150 of them are dumb as hell retards, its constant flaming on the public chat channels which tbh i find hilariously funny.

Lots of people ive played with are 100% clueless and i wonder if they have ever pvped before, they just hit out at the first thing to come near them then die 30 s later...

i probably wont be renewing my sub after the next one expires.
 
Silly thing is the transfers are not working, meaning I got 6 toons on a dead server I cant move to an active one with my old guild on, why dodnt Mythic hold off the free time, didnt they think players coming back would want to move servers?
 
Haven't play War before the last week. So my view is only on what i know. I have a Character on the US Ironforge Server and also one on the EU/UK Karak-Norn server. Seems to be fairly busy in prime time hours which is when i play, cant say much about other times. Personally im enjoying it but then again ive not really played an MMO like WAR before in respect to its RVR and PVP style and i must say im enjoying it immensely because you can avoid all the constant PvE grinding.
 
Yeah T4 is a starnge place, I enjoyed T3 the most. T4 is not solo friendly, you really need to be in a guild / organised warband otherwise you'll get melted :)

Playing my Slayer on KA again in T4, PvP is fun, not sure what they've done to the IC siege mind, that was a joke and got totally farmed by destro :(

WAR's end game is poor, flawed even, don't think they'll ever be able to fix it....

Still, I prefer the PvP\RvR in WAR to any other game i've played hence i keep coming back for more.
 
wars endgame is flawed because its only 2 realms and not 3

always one op realm atleast if they had 3 like in whatsitcalled the 2 weaker ones would fight the bigger one
 
Tried it for the past few days the server is laggy as hell, takes a while for my chars to even appear, my two tries in scenerios have been a knightmere, extreme lag and then dc to desktop. How are you others finding it? I think I will wait as it should be a f2p game in all honestly.
 
KA is very laggy at the moment, i'm guessing that it is mainly because of all the people like myself doing the free welcome back thing.

Actually managed to get in an IC instance that killed the king, I think it's better than it was, but still not great.
 
I actually enjoyed WAR a lot, but once I hit T4...eurgh. Nevermind the lag and 'interesting' end-game, being level 32-33 in a zone stuffed full of 40's with high renown gear equals endless death.
