Just ignore Cupertino...he is one of the biggest WoW fanboys I have ever seen, and I am not exaggerating. If it has not been touched by the mighty hand of Blizzard, it is simply not worth playing. Go read some of this posts if you would like. Some of them are pure gold and will have you laughing for a few minutes. Yes I am a fan of Wow but I dont make stuff up, everything I say are backed by facts or are just my opinion. There is a fine line between liking and/or respecting a game, and I do like/respect WoW, and building a shrine to it and trashing every other product. Look at my post history I have loads of positives to say about other games such as PotBS, GW2 and AO. And early on I have nothing but love for WAR... but I have since played it and it all changed. It is ironic, however, that someone who plays WoW, which can be modded so the game practically plays itself (until 2.0 it did, go one-button play!), and is so easy and shallow a pre-teen can play it, is whining about a circle with an arrow, when WoW's radar and map can show oh so much more. Allies, resource nodes, quests, vendors, and anything else one wishes to add. If you totally pimp out your WoW UI, it is amazing how simple the game becomes, really. Popups tell you when to heal, when to use a triggered ability, what to sell an item for at auction, and more. EA Mythic is providing more functionality out of the box but limiting what addons can do so it does not get so out of hand. Wow has never been 1 button, unless you have proof of this? more lies about WoW, I have played WAR (was looking forward too it)... a 1 cell organisam could play it, and WAR has a radar map that shows resources, players, npc's. Trust me WAR is WoW for under 5's. Some will love WAR but the game will go the same way as LOTRO, people will flock to it at the start but soon move back to their old MMO... as it gives them nothing new.
You know? You playing the WaR beta is almost as funny as you having an intelligent opinion.
I don't think war-hammer will beat wow, might because wow players are tired of wow.but most all the videos i seen boring. i know the game is not release yet ,but they wont make big changes maybe few here and there.
Just looks boring to me and esactly like world of warcraft, i've been put off this game i really thought it would be something different, turned out they just copied wow and daoc.
So, you're saying they "copied" one of the most popular games ever (WoW)andthe one that had the best-ever RvR (DAoC)!
ZOMFG! What were they thinking?!
Yeh i already played them why do i need to play them again? I don't, it's like playing WW2 shooters over and over *yawn* tbh. Also RVR is nothing special, just a fancy name Mythic use for faction vs faction which we have in most mmorpgs.
Looks just like a video from World of Warcraft (WoW). Wait, the entire game looks like a direct copy from EQ. Nevermind.
There I fixed it for you. If you're going to troll do it properly. Know which games copied which and give credit where it's due.

Dont forget EQ copied Diablo.. know which game copied which and give credit where it's due.
Wow, you have officially lost your mind and become nothing but a Blizzard loveslave at this point.
EverQuest did not copy Diablo - that does not even make any sense. EverQuest did, however, base a ton of its gameplay on MUDs, specifically DikuMUD. EverQuest is, at its core, the translation of MUDs into a 3D game, though obviously it goes a lot further than that.
I am now just waiting for cupertino to claim that Blizzard invented computer gaming, solved Fermat's last theorem, and is well on its way to discovering the cure for cancer and AIDS.
"Oh, Blizzard, you make the sun rise and the rain fall, without you the world would be nothing at all."

Thank you for proving my point. You have no idea what the hell you're talking about. But don't get me wrong it's very cute. *Hands a cookie* There you go enjoy that cookie cause you're so cute.

What kind of dork actually changes my quote? It's not a troll post either. The only way WAR can be in beta already is if they copy WoW as much as possible to keep the coding down to a minimum. It's sad that EA Mythic can't take the time to make the graphics look more realistic rather than copying the cartoony WoW graphics. Take a look at DAOC, another EA Mythic game. It has trolls, elves, etc and they don't look cartoony despite the graphics being several years old. They could have copied the DAOC code, but instead decided to copy the WoW look. That's disappointing.

Even if EA Mythic did copy WoW, it would not keep "coding down to a minimum" since they do not have access to Blizzard's source code. The same amount of code has to be written either way since it is not as though they are copy-pasting. I could look at WoW and try to recreate it, but it would not save me a single line of code unless I could see their actual code.
I suppose they could save time on the development of ideas and such, but they are not doing anything WoW does that they have not already done in DAoC. WAR is mostly DAoC reskinned in a new IP with a bunch of new RvR (tiers, victory points, etc.) and PvE (public quests) systems on top. That is to say, they are copying themselves. WAR is the spiritual successor of DAoC, almost a sequel of sorts, though very indirect.
People can say WAR looks like WoW all they want - I think that is a simplified conclusion, but whatever - but saying WAR is WoW, copied its ideas, or is copying its code is plain ignorant. WoW has done nothing original that needs to be copied.

Haha, sure you're not trolling. Keep thinking that. Cause in the end you know you're right no matter what. And hey the sun revolves around the earth. BTW Earth is flat. The Holocaust never happened. The US Govt did 9/11.
Keep your conspiracy theories to yourself. It only makes you look like a fool. I know it's weird to think that a company that previously designed a MMO would be able to launch a rough beta. Since Beta's are Blizzard's idea. You've just confirmed that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Do me a favor and go look up Warhammer comics, miniatures, books, artwork, etc. Then come back and say they are copying WoWs style. You're obviously a troll who hasn't played any other game besides WoW and think it has invented MMO's as we know it. WoW is a Basic MMO done well. Nothing more and nothing less. It is polished, contains all basic MMO staples(Action bar+actions, map, radar, crafting, Battlegrounds, etc), and is simple to use. Guess what? other MMO's had all that stuff before WoW. WoW did absolutely nothing original except lore which is now completely destroyed. At the very least WAR is doing Public Quests and Tome of Knowledge. Both of which are EVOLUTIONARY of current quests and character progression keepers.
As for coding? Go take a coding class, php, VB, C++, Java, anything. You will learn shortly that unless someone gives you the code via open source you will be coding everything yourself. I am pretty sure that Blizzard has WoW code under lock and key so I would assume that Mythic hasn't taken anything.
The WAR art style ( IE cartoony) is from Warhammer lore which goes back 20+ years. IMO they absolutely nailed the Warhammer look. Seriously go look up Warhammer stuff and you will find that it also has a cartoony style Including the original Warhammer Online game which was being made at the same time as WoW.

ROFL WAR is not the 2nd coming and offers nothing new or does anything better, lets see what ppl say in 8 months or when the NDA is lifted. Check out my past posts.. i had nothing but love for WAR.. it sounded great.. but then I tried it and man was I dissapointed and Im just venting from putting so much hope into the game.
Dunno if that was directed at me... I was just pointing out that WAR wasn't copying WoW. I don't really care if WAR does anything new or better. I just want a new game that's more PvP centered with less focus on gear. It's too late for WoW, world PvP is pretty much dead. If there is no gear involved, 95% of the population (maybe more) doesn't want to do it. The only thing left for world pvp, for the most part, is random gankings. The same BGs for 3 years and the same 3 arena maps since expansion got really boring. I love the feel of combat in WoW, it's too bad the game is so focused on gear, with almost nothing new for PvPers.

Do some research next time.
