Nice, this game sounds more interesting with each preview. I just hope the combat is different from WoW. The "target enemy, click different abilities, then wait for them to recharge" gameplay is very tiresome. Perhaps the player collision model in Warhammer will make things more interesting?

  I wouldn't hold your breath. Everything I've seen on WAR indicates it's the same old tab-target, auto-attack + special ability combat we've had since EQ1.
  
  WoW is to EverQuest as WAR is to DAoC.
  
  It's just the next evolution in Mythic's RvR pvp model.

    ..and that evolution is most welcome. :)
    
    EQ/WoW and all like it can all die anytime now.
