well i played this game for about 2 months now, and i facking adore it.
Hughe RvR battles, on every tier all the time, and if you get bored of that (IF YOU DO) there are scenarios and quests to do, and of course public quests. where all who is close to you can join your group (if it is open) and battle against heros for Gear,weapons or whatever it is you need.


Okey its a new game still, but most of the minor issues they have dealt with, and i see more and more ppl coming back to War, and hear ppl coming back. I think, this game will grow more and more as they have made automatic transfer so the servers are now bigger, with lots of ppl on them, u dont ever have to worry about finding a RvR battle or waiting for scenarios or even public quests.
First when this game out, they made that misstake of having servers with low pop on it, that made the game suck :/. but they learned from it.
I play on Karak - Asgal. And dudes.... if you like open fights with vast numbers, if you like PvP you would do good to buy this game, if you have it already, then reopen it, caus this is WAR!
But keep in mind ppl, use the (search for warbands & groups near you) it is vital if you wanna RvR. or just type in region, you are missing so mutch guys!
Warband is a group, but has 24 ppl in it. and when you guys start it again, caus i know u will, i will see how it is, when you and your warband is meeting up with other warbands, to join together, and reclaim what is ours!

I have tried all tiers im lvl 40. the Tiers im talking about here is tier 1 and mostly 2. but when you reach tier 3 mostly 4 those fights in RvR are MASSIVE!

And about 799,000 of them are playing fallout 3 and hoping the 1.1 patch is good...

I really did enjoy playing for the 3 weeks or so I did, but after I fired up WoW the first time after those 3 weeks of taking a break from it, there was, once again, no going back. WAR just lacks the polish which makes WoW such an enjoyment to play, and as many others have mentioned, "that certain something" that keeps you playing a game seems to be missing from WAR. I enjoyed it, but I'm not exactly drawn back either. Not 12 euros/month worth, anyway.

I'll prolly check what's up with the game after I get tired of WoTLK. If that ever happens...

The MMO landscape post WoW has gotten so malignant. Used to be that MMOs were released as a "work in process" and players expected balance, content, and refinement over a 6 month time course. Post WoW, with all the players that it recruited from other genres, players compare a new MMO to the current 5 yo WoW. Nevermind that WoW had a more chaotic launch, had little/nothing of an endgame at launch, had NO pvp (although I preferred the raging Tarren Mill to what they have now), had no class balance, etc.

I understand gamers pov from a "pay this MMO or pay that one", but 2 months is too soon to count out a newly released MMO. They are just getting their bearings and charting a course.

I was so stoked about warhammer online until I saw that it will focus more on RvR and PvP and stuff. I want PvE and end game content. I guess i've gotten spoiled by WoW, but maybe if they changed their revoluntionary vision they might attract more.

I'm not sure WAR is going to continue to grow stronger. I think the next major patch is going to be the make or break for this game. I know I'm watching/waiting for it to help me make up my mind.

Ignoring the technical problems, like CTD's or memory leaks, WAR is a solid game. It's just, missing something. It's hard for me to describe how I feel. WAR just seems to be missing the fun and the kind of engagement that WoW or Eve had.

I've gotten the impression that I'm not alone. I've heard similar complaints from my guild members and read as much via WAR blogs. Some of the most vocal WAR cheerleaders are simply saying that they don't know what it is exactly, but their just not enjoying themselves.

I do know one thing, I joined a guild that fits my personality perfectly. I've never been with guild that I meshed with so well. If it wasn't for this one, rare, group of people, I'd already left the game.

Here's to hoping that the game improves in all facets and that Mythic somehow patches the fun in. :)

WARHAMMER = fail :(

as much as i wanted to like the game.. there are so many things wrong with it and they are taking too long to fix

Next month it'll be down to the 100k people who actually enjoy playing Tor Anroc and Serpent's Passage non-stop. :(

After Lich King...let's see what the deal is...I do like Warhammer though, but it's so damn empty. They need to start consolidating servers or something. As a non-WoW player, All I want from WAR is a sustaining player base. Only crazy people would want compete with a Juggernaut. That's like Kenya vs. the US armed forces...please. Both can live happily just the way they are too.

Out of 30 people I know that bought this game and started playing, not one is still doing so.

Of course this is anecdotal, I just don't hear the buzz for this game as strong as one would expect from numbers like those. Where are the cool stories? Where are the "holy shit, you guys need to play this game with us" messages?

That's how EQ and WoW spread.

I'm not trying to jab at the game...but didn't they recently announce 1 million sales?

Does that imply that 20% of the customers don't continue playing?

This thread makes me sad. :(

"Computer says nooooo..."

Im still having a blast.

Let's see how they do next month when WotLK comes out.

I'm just sayin'.
