Warhammer Online Q&A

Actually i believe that they are primarily focused on rvr balance between already developed armies. Looking at crafting and trade system later is ok because these will be nearly equal for all armies.

So I'll come straight out and admit that we're dodging this question. We just aren't talking about crafting yet beyond the promise that it will be present and fun. Ask us again in six months, and we will be ready to give you some juicy details.

Most of the Q&A is like that, basically dodging the question and throwing some general fluff at us. They should be doing this again in 6 months, I'd like to see how much their answers change. MMOGs have this very annoying ability of completely morphing into a different product than the pre-release spin given by devs - more so than any other genre.

One of the other answers about how they are going to avoid fedex drop quests makes me believe this will be a lot of instances like D&D Online. I just hope they don't make the same mistake by not giving any other alternatives to the players.

I've been playing WFRP (PnP) for the last 5 years and the initial announcement of this got me excited but now it seems like they are just going to make a DAOC sequel with the Warhammer universe - bleh. Still too early to pass judgement, I know, but I just can't help being dissapointed after reading all of that.
