I'll cancel in 3 months when WAR is released

This game is getting boring very fast.
The only entertainment at lvl37 is ganking people in towns.
There are no interactions with other players. You feel all alone for the most part.
Quests turn into a chore(a lot of them are broken also). Dungeons are so linear, you just zerg them without any strategy.
Wait time for pvp minigames are 5-10min+. But when you finally get in, you will get steam rolled by a organized guild.
And I'm not even frustrated with the game. I'm a bear shaman and i do very well in pvp. It is just becoming too boring. No sense of community so to speak. And oh yea, the instances inside other instances thing.
Or should i cancel right now? After the first month?

The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

I'd say cancel now... you obviously appear to dislike the game, as you're only pointing to the games flaws (which all games have). So why would you continue to play it if it isn't fun for you? I'm having a blast myself, but I feel that if you don't like a game, why play it? People are always going to have different opinions on anything, in this case entertainment, and if you don't like it, wait for WAR or feel free to go back to whichever game you used to play...
though I'm not sure how much more you will like WAR over AoC... MMORPGs really don't have vast differences from one another other than the basic design and layout. The only differences in WAR will be less graphics, more class choices, less instancing, more ganking, and many other minor things you can look at as flaws or high points. Hope you find something, though.
canceled.
Three months... more like 5-6! But yeah I will be there! I wish it was sooner. I am having fun with AoC tho!
I'll be keeping an eye out for your post about how WAR doesn't live up to your expectations either.
Uhg, all this hate.
Lets all just get along and kill the scrubs that are unfortunate enough to not be our level or higher.
Clever things.
4 months ? ur insane.
WAR has had the whole world remade twice now, what makes you think it wont go thru another they are not even allowing beta tests but for 2 days every couple weeks. I would be entirely amazed if it comes out before may next year. I only say this because EA Mythic guarantees the game will be flawless once its released and that only because of how bad of a release EA had with Hellgate: London. Should EA screw up the release of warhammer you would never see another attempt at an MMO from them ( which might be a good thing).
LOL, well, perhaps if you didn't sit outside of town ganking people you might have made some friends. People tend to not interact with gankers, they avoid or kill them instead. Same with your issues of getting steamrolled by an organized guild group, perhaps you could consider joining a guild and becoming part of the fun?
Well, too late now, guess you cancelled, but I don't think WAR will be much more fun for you unless you learn to interact more with the game world.

I think that WAR will probably be the over-hyped disappointment that most, almost all, MMOs have been these past few years.

It is in very early beta so one cannot really judge the game in it's current state, but if it launched now it's safe to say AoC has NOTHING to fear.

Are u serious?? U actually enjoy WAR right now? Dude, If you were in Beta, "which I doubt" then you would be singing a different tune. Right now, WAR is doind PVP testing which starts at level 40. All your doing is zoning in a pvp batlefield and fighting other people. Once u die, "which takes about 5 minutes" you rinse and repeat. U call that fun?? LOL. So umm ya, once again, if u were in beta for WAR, u wouldn't state how much fun your having....Cause anyone who thinks testing a minor part of that game is fun must get their head examined,,that or u are easily entertained by things that go booom, or uuuggghhh, lol

As a beta tester for WAR I don't know where you guys get your info, but the highlighted areas above are flat out wrong. No need to post misinformation about a game in developement just because he does not like AoC and mentioned WAR. I enjoy both games currently and plan to continue with both. They each have their highs and lows. They really do appeal to different tastes.Cheers!

Again, that's not true at all. You can do far more than test a battlefield right now. Two major cities opened up, more races and their tiers opened up for leveling. There is quite a bit to test right now beyond a battlefield. So, no, they are not doing level 40 PvP testing right now. They were and they had several zones opened up with quite a few places to fight and many different aspects to test. But it's a beta and it's focused testing. So you really can't expect the entire world to be wide open right now.

Dang, he beat me to the punch.
Although this *is* AoC's biggest issue: Keeping the game from being guilds' way of "training" for WAR.

I am in beta and i m having a blast because i realize it s FOCUS testing whinch means they test certain things at a time if you didn t know. Damn why is it that hard to realize i or anyone else couldn t have fun testing aspects of a game. You re very blind.
Cheers!

Oakthornn, you're making yourself look pretty dumb. I'm jealous of all the people who got in WAR beta...man. I just want a little taste and I wanna help it be the best

Ugh... not trying to be rude or anything but it really does annoy me when people argue against something with little to no information as to why... they just say "No, you are wrong".
From what I've seen, at least from the stand-point of what I said, not too sure about lys, ganking is going to be worse than AoC's condition at the current moment, which in itself is at least fixable for this game. I didn't really want to back up my claims and I don't intend to (mostly for the fact that I shouldn't even be giving this information that I know about WAR more than it's beta testers for specific reasons) because I wasn't attempting to argue against WAR or the OP's decisions. I was just stating my beliefs that, at least the way I look at it, you shouldn't be playing a game just because everyone else seems to be enjoying it if you're not, because whats the point of playing then?
The little comment you highlighted from me is very short to what I was saying and you obviously didn't read my entire post. Please don't use examples unexplanitorily from people that obviously don't want to get involved in a completely different arguement.
I'm sorry i should not have said "Whole world was remade" I should have said that certain races had their entire zones remade due to inbalance.
