1. Ryzom is back up for free at the moment. 2. Fallout 3 comes out 3 weeks after WAR is released. 3. Darkfall beta will SUPPOSEDLY begin in October. 4. The Chronicles of Spellborn and Runes of Magic seem to be right around the corner.
I hope the people that play it do enjoy it, but after the preview weekend (along with the above-mentioned reasons) this game just wasn't for me. Questing seemed too linear to the point where after I finished quests in a tier I felt like I would never ever return to that tier for anything (just like a 'level' or 'stage' in some console game). Also, the end-game seems like it will be lacking (not in content, but in mechanics). The point of the game is to beat the other realm by going through a series of pvp tiers, but after you win it just resets. If your side loses, you haven't really lost anything, and if your side wins, maybe you got a couple cool items. Anyway, the point of this post, I guess, is that for people who were on the fence about this game, there are other options on the horizon.
Do you think a post like this really merits it's own post?
Honestly, don't waste our time making us read this when you were never interested enough in playing in the first place.

Well I just pre ordered mine today......
I wouldn't have cancelled for any of those reasons, exspecially Darfall.lol Im hoping to get into RoM beta and will be playing Fallout 3 as well as WAR. But they lost a customer and gained one as well..... This game will rock........ Waaagh!

Not every game is for every person, have with with Ryzom and Fallout 3 and TCoS. And perahps Darkfall.
The tier aspect to this game and many other aspect makes it feel more boardgameish then virtual worldish. But that's what I love about it, being a huge boardgamer myself. But I can see this not being for everyone.
Is it an amazing coincidence how most people who are posting crap like this are BIG fans of Darkfall and AoC?? Or am I just seeing things??
There is a big Darkfall revival going on right now. There is a new announcement of a beta. And Wikipedia no longer has the Vaporware rumor section for this game.
In the general forums here, there is actually a serious debate about Darkfall vs WAR. And most people in that thread say Darkfall is better. Not could be better if it existed, but IS better. Really tells you something about people on this forum.

I don't think linear is the right term. But certainly it is tiered. No seems of feels about it. Mythic has made it quite plain the game is teired.
The reason you were on the fence, is because you want some kind of "sandbox" game. As evidenced by you liking Ryzom.
I dunno I don't think you were really on the fence. Seems like wishful thinking to me. Mythic has made it pretty clear they are not making a world simulation game like Eve or Ryzom.
I don't think WAR was ever a real option for you.
And that right there boys and girls is why this game want be as successful as you or Mythic thinks...
I like Mythic and I am not trolling. Mark my words though, this game isn't going to offer enough different from what people are already playing to stick around. The RvR is not going to be different enough to make the game stand out. Yea, it will probably be better PvP than most games; but it want be enough by itself.

I don't know if Darkfall will be better or worse, I don't even know if it will release at all. But I can tell you that the video made me realize how much I was forgiving and forgetting to play WAR. Made me remember I want a realistic looking game, not a Walt Disney pinball arcade. And I'm not talking about the quality of the graphics, I't talking about the particle and light effects, which in WAR seem to be designed to amaze the 5yo.

I think you're overlooking a lot of reasons people play MMOs and play new MMOs.
It's a chance to establish yourself in a new world from the beginning, carrying with you all the experience (for many) that you've gained from other games. Having learned from the mistakes you've made in the past and ready to make new ones.
I've played a lot of games and I think that I've found in Warhammer a game which I can call home. Only time will tell if that is the reality of it though.
There's no way this game is going to fail in the same way at (or shortly after) launch in the same way as Age of Conan and Vanguard to name a couple of well known examples.
Closed beta players are still under the NDA, so it's not fully lifted. I'm not complaining about it. But I am clearing up misconceptions that are being thrown about.
I think u are on of those guys who hates the winning team so u throw salt in the game and start hating. I dont even think u have ever even played the game. I think u are angry your friends are planning on playing WAR but u dont want to so u come to MMORPG and give out some haterade cause your friends arent drinking it. It is a possibility that i am wrong but not a probability. Take it easy
Cancelled mine too. Why? you ask, because NDA is not lifted on this game and my experiences from beta were deleted because its against NDA, guess mythic don't like the truth being told.
lol what are you talking about. You NEVER had it preordered. Your whole entire forum existance and post history from post one was to criticise the game...literally all 240 some of your posts have been about the same EXACT THING. Don't fib. itll make your nose get larger.

This is such a non issue that the person who brought it up should be banned from posting since they obviously have a trollish agenda~.

I agree with you Ender we should ban everyone that trolls! Whats a game without nay sayers though? We need them to criticize and give us there opinion because sometimes it ends up true but we just like to slap it away as if it does not exist and then complain later about it. (Exception with tikovoo she is just a really dumb troll.)

Let me see if I understood correctly. You made an agreement and you broke it? Or you arent a beta tester and you are lying when you say you are one?
Or you don't honor agreements or you lie. In any case, you cant be trusted... so I wont trust anything you said.
You canceled your preorder?! Wow, that's the kind of insightful and hard-hitting information we need around here. You're truly blazing a new trail with your blunt honesty and courageous trolling. I truly hope more people with your character choose to cancel their preorders and never step foot into the world of Warhammer. It will be better for everyone involved. We need more people talking about how much they hate games in all gaming forums. Let this be the beginning of the end for fanbois and people that like to have fun and make up their own minds.

MMOs Played: EQ 1&2, DAoC, SWG, Planetside, WoW, GW, CoX, DDO, EVE, Vanguard, TR Playing: WAR Awaiting 40k Online and wishing for Battletech Online
Methinks the OP doesn't really understand how leveling and endgame work in Warhammer. I won't go into more detail because I really don't care about him leaving but just read that last paragraph again. Anywayz who gives a ff? Time will tell.
If you have your doubts then wait a bit till the game matures. WoW gathered the vast majority of its playerbase well after the release. I see no reason why anyone should buy a game he isn't 100% sure it'll work for him.
After buying way to many pre-orders, I think everyone should stop buying them and wait for any game they want to play to come out. The we are all on the same foot and we the gamer can control what them the game maker puts out. If you pre-order the can make a crappy game (AOC) and you don't even do a free month lol.
