In addition to the above concerning mythic ripping off WoW...
That's not what was said really. What they said was that they are taking from games workshops tabletop art for the graphics with permission, while some other people (the entire warcraft franchise) took from them without permission.
So, basically Blizzard stole from Games Workshop and didn't give a shit.
So basically they are ripping off WoW and not giving a shit?
are you serious? wow stole every part of its game, including art, from other games/IPS...you wow fanbois are really either oblivious or really havent played any mmo prior to WoW
So basically they are ripping off WoW and not giving a shit?
ahh he who is so ignorant....wow ripped off game workshop who based there table top game close to Lord of the rings(the book not the game) WoW is a game for tools and always will be. Yes I played WoW but come on that game is useless and boring and full of children...you try running a raid with only one good healer and the rest a bunch of slack offs. I will make sure people know my name on the alliance side and fear me!
So basically they are ripping off WoW and not giving a shit?
So basicly there are still idiots out there like you, who dont realize WoW ripped off from many games before it and the GW tabletop. So WoW takes the best aspects from other games and puts it into theres. Now WAR is taking some aspects that WoW got right and putting it into there game. Why do you WoW idiots think it was ok for blizzard to use older MMO's functions but not ok for newer games to use something you see in WoW?
Even if there was one single aspect of WoW that is new (there isnt but for arguments sake) that a game uses its NO diffrent than what Blizzard did with WoW. Get over yourself, WoW was not ground breaking. WoW took the best of every MMO before it dumbed down.
Edit: Forgot to say, Loved the read.
Lol! You pwned him! That WoW fanboi totally got GANKED!

....Um...who's the alliance? Are they some mystical third party? Huh...oh well / epicfail!!!
Anyway as to the article Im skeptical of some of the information....I wonder if the article writer did any deep research at all. The talk of 40 man raids completely throws me off because they've never mentioned that at all and they've been very upfront about whats involved in their gameplay. Sounds like the article writer only got it half right. You'd think it being PC Gamer magazine they'd research better but then they are known for crappy reviews and bad information when games aren't paying them to be in their magazine & depending on who the writer is.
Personally I'm glad for Q3 means they're hard at work and want their game to work when it launches...Im still SAD of course because I was hoping to have my hands on it soon hehe.

One of our community members, SaltyBob has brought us an Online Exclusive ONLY found here at Only-WAR (for now, anyways)! He took the time to type up the recent PCGamer UK edition's featured W.A.R. article!
Since scans of actual magazine articles are generally teetering on bad form, we feel that having this typed up doesn't do anything except build more excitement and if anything, almost forces you to go out and buy the magazine! Yes his descriptions of the images are that good.

Just like WoW used every other MMO before it for it's basis... oh and pretty much the lore for Warhammer as well. You might wonder who is ripping off whom eh?

I am not aware of any WoW style raid content, at least its not popped up in beta as far as I know.
Alot of people seem to be making some fairly wild claims about WaR :S

Personally My bet is on an Aug-Sept '08 release.
I know they said Q2 but they also said Summer '08 so that's open to interpretation.
and seeing that the minimum to get from closed to open beta then release is around 6 months going by other MMO's I'd say Q3, even early Q4.
I don't mind the wait as the more polish they put on it they better it will be and I don't want another Vanguard!
