How many here will be playing WAR?

[Ravenwoods]

Who will be playing WAR when it comes out, or at least try it. I was a bit no no on this one but maybe I might try it after seeing some latest beta videos, could be a fun time filler.

[Lachrymose]

i don't think i'll bother playing it, but if it turns out extremely well, then maybe i'll try it out a little. i'm at the stage where i probably shouldn't be playing MMO's, so it has to be extraordinary to be worth my time.

[Myst]

I'll be there, I just love games release :]

And there's something great in WAR : you can raise your character only by PvPing. By the way, I hope to see this feature on MO too :b

[bluealien1]

I will be along with about 20 people from my guild. Not sure whether we're doing Destruction or Order but I'm pushing for Order since it seems Destruction will always be a zerg. We're also doing a Core server.

[holo4ever]

I'm gonna be there. I'll be a Destruction guy, why you ask? Because they are the embodiment of awesomeness... :P What's better a puny human or a chosen of chaos, blessed by the marks of chaos, of tzeetch, the Changer of Ways.

As for how good it will be the game...well... it will be better than wow by far just because you won't have to grind that much for gear, mats and the such.

You won't have such a leveling system in MO Myst. Afaik MO isn't with levels but with skills in real-time, just like EvE online(a GREAT game btw... )

Open-RvR server will be my choice, sadly I won't be able to revisit the lower tiers because I'll be turned into a chicken, but otherwise it will be cool

[Odin]

Looks like wow + 30 pixel and without highend content/gear.

I doubt that I'll try it. They just deleted 4 classes, 4 capital cities so I predict that the release will be a way too soon. Maybe not as horrible as Vanguard, Conan used to be, but something comparable.

[ccoa]

Yeah, I don't think I'll be joining you guys. I thought it was bad before they got rid of the content. Besides it just looks like a fireworks show with all the lights and fancy noises, it's almost unbearable to watch some of the homemade RvR movies with all the damn zings and what not.

[holo4ever]

well, it's far better than wow. And how can you say it has no high-end content ? City Sieges ?? There is gear, you can obtain the best one from sacking the enemy city, and well...this is NOT a pve game, but an RVR/PVP focused game.... if you want to grind till you're bored go play wow :|

I don't feel like typing atm so im just going to quote you cause i'd pretty much say the same thing, i can't play MMO's at this stage either, no time.

[hailzoidberg]

If I had gotten into Beta, I would have at least tried it, but I'll stick to playing AoC for now.

If you want everything instant, some cartoony pixels stuff like that, go play Warhammer or wait for the gay hello-kitty-online..

You know oldschool >>> newschool carebear stuff

what are you talking about ?

[Ionstraw]

I'll try it, as I played the tabletop stuff years ago as a kid. Looks alright, but if it's too much like WoW as it seems to look like in the beta videos I've seen, then it won't hold my attention for long.

I was trying to say, that it's not nice to tell an Ultima Online veteran to play wow. Yeah I play it but at the moment all games are dumped down like wow...So better play the real one instead 1 off the 10000 copies out there.

Warhammer:
Looks to much like wow. Every played the tabletop? The warhammer world isn't cartoony, fun..Its a rough, dark and very bloody world.

I'm not against pvp games, but I want them with some real thrill, and the only way to do that is to make players fully lootable.

War isn't goint to be very tough, it will be a simply, fast paced game...just like wow and all the other games are...just without much PvE content..

[holo4ever]

Well, the graphics are totally different compared to the ones from WoW atm. And I'm not saying to anyone to play wow, because the game is ...well you know... I'm not saying to anyone to play any game, I was just pointing some features.

And yes, I am playing Warhammer tabletop. I play 40k ( Tyranids) and Fantasy Battles(Dwarfs+Empire).

The combat in WAR won't be as fast as the one in WoW, the biggest "burst" damage one can pull (from 100 to 0 action points) is the Witch Hunter and that will take around 8-9 seconds... it's not that fast paced like in wow where you two shot a guy.

[Itza]

I think I will be playing WAR. My guild has it's roots in DAoC, and with fond memories from there many have been waiting for WAR. Even though I'm more of a sandbox and ffa pk fan, I can still enjoy a good RvR action too. So as a good bunch of my guildmates will go there, I'll join them.

(I've been in WAR beta for a few months, so I know what I'm getting, even though I can't talk about it.)

[Drakus]

I've decided that I will not be playing WAR or any other MMO's due the fact none of them interest me in the slightest. I'm a very good at judging MMO's in beta even though they're an unfinished product. I've beta tested Vanguard, AoC, WAR and all of them failed to hold my interest for very long. My very last hope for a decent MMO to play is Mortal Online and so far it sounds like it will be exactly what I've been searching for all these years.

[Jutsin]

I'm with Darkus on this one - from what I have seen and experienced of WAR so far, it's not something I'll play for the long term .. so I plan to not even start.

I'll just stick to single player games, or multiplayer FPS until M.O. comes out

[Vasidius]

Im actually d/l'ing the torrent for WAR atm, some of my guild members and some of our sister guild members are going to give it ago as an attempt to fill the time in between a DF or a MO release. Think we're going Order..although i would have been a Blackguard or Orc Choppa without a second thought if it wasnt for them being culled.

[Hypnos]

I'll be there, RvR like DAOC with renow point sound good.

But at launch of Mortal Online, a skill based MMO with Free Open world is for me the unique real MMO I'm waiting for this since UO and SWG (before NGE who kill SWG game)

QFT. That's why I'm gonna play eve online too until MO is launched

[Heliopios]

Relic is going to fuck up Warhammer's lore like Blizzard Fucked up Warcraft's lore.



Also normal warhammer's world is about a thousand times worse than warhammer 40k's since it's a rip off of Lord of the rings, but without the gay elves.

Same :P . Thanks for typing it out so I didn't have to .

I'll be busy with FPS's and GTA4 in the near future anyways.

relic ?

I like people writing comments like this without even knowing what companies are making the game.

for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning it's Mythic Entertainment
and
for Warhammer 40k Online: THQ

[Lialith]

as a mater of fact, aoc has much more in common with wow than war does. so please please please stop comparing war with wow all the time... the only thing they have in common is the setting, and thats because wow had copied that from warhammer. war has a totally different game concept and is nothing like wow.
and by the way i shourly dont want highend graphics in an mmo, havent you learned nothing of aocs failure? ^^

[Odin]

There's a difference between cartoony and highend graphics. A world like Warhammer (TT) shouldn't look like this cartoon BS. It should be rough, dark, bloody with some gore, because...well its war..

I compare the game with every game I want. To me it looks too much like wow and I doubt that its gonna be a challenging game. The RvR sounds more like a brainless zerg versus zerg, you don't need skill for that just endless menpower...

[fivetigers]

I will be playing WAR, more or less because I can't find anything to keep my interest for more than a week or so. And I think it'll be fun to be there for a game's launch (even if most games don't launch so well) because I've never done that.
