Hey there

So I didn't notice any official thread regarding Warhammer Online so thought it would be a good idea to post one so all discussion regarding the game can take place in here.
I'm looking forward to it and was looking forward to the supposed June release but then it got pushed back, yet again, but I'd rather have a well made game than a bug-laden MMO.

Thanks.
 
Yeah I figured, I am going to be buying AoC aswell to see what it is like, it's pretty much the reason for me upgrading my computer (well, along with Far Cry 2, WAR and Starcraft 2). But I have been following WAR for a while now and it looks like it is shaping up to be an awesome game, hopefully it lives up to expectations. I have been watching a lot of gameplay videos on YouTube and the PvP looks awesome.
 
It's has more of a classic MMO feel to it rather than AoC. Well thats what I got from the beta anyhow. Hopefully the graphics/animations will improve a lot before release though as they looked absolutly terrible.
 
Yeah the WAR graphics look very similar to WoW's, which is one of the reasons I think it may appeal, because it will run on all sorts of computers, from high-end rigs to old computers.
 
From watching all the media and listening to podcasts, it seem EA Mythic are biting off way more than they can chew.

Paul Barnett is an absolute legend though.

"can't we have a huge monster attacking towns for no reason?"

"sure, but won't the players get upset?"

"No, they will DIE!"

Paul Barnett is a legend...... his entusiasm for this whole project is just fantastic!!

Whoever said that AoC is overshadowing it at the moment is both right and wrong, the only reason AoC seems to more popular at the moment is because its actually now been released. I can say for sure that over half the subscribers that have gone for AoC are ones that want an MMO to play while they wait for WAR to be released.

They've just hit the 700k CLOSED beta signups..... immense!

This game will be great, I'm sure of it.
 
Yeah I can't wait, and I also am going to be playing AoC whilst I wait for WAR to come out. What Race/Class you all going to be choosing on WAR? I'm gonna be either a Witch Hunter or Orc Choppa. :D
 
I've seen some screen shots from a leaked beta on another forum and it looks really good. To me it looks like wow but with stunning graphics. Cant really see what the combat systems like though which is a shame.
 
I know a lot of people who currently play WoW or who played WoW and have quit are going to be moving/trying out WAR when it is released. I think the reason being as the game is very similar to WoW in terms of graphics style and the 2 opposing factions apart from WAR is gonna be mainly PvP focused, as you can level up for doing PvP which sounds awesome.
 
I think expansions per se are the death of any game. Mainly the grand ones like Blizz did with TBC.

People like to play original content, raising level caps making old instances/raid pretty much useless.

I didnt play wow until after TBC, so i didnt get to play any of the old stuff. Pretty gutting tbh.
 
Yeah I played pre-TBC WoW (vanilla WoW) and TBC WoW and The Burning Crusade ruined the game, which is pretty much the reason I quit. As long as they don't screw things up with expansions, and if they do make expansions, actually have content that will improve the game long term rather than improve it for 3 months then make the game stupidly boring.
 
It makes you wonder why so many of these game developers continue to make the same mistakes. I know Expansions = More Cash, but in the long run they must be getting feedback that it doesn't work.
 
I think the end of WoW was the months before the release of TBC. People were getting free epix in battlegrounds, guilds went on holiday as none of the content was worth playing and lag
