The game that killed MMO's for me

miichael

and  this is not a bad thing

as played and beta'd many a games. none of them had a good lore hook for me to grab on to said for WoW but I been playing warcraft since well Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. so with that series i was hooked and was able to rp all knowing past lore

mind you I used to play pen & paper rpg's for years

so got into this opened beta

I been enjoying  the game......then made the mistake and went to games workshop's website

now i am so hooked on learning the lore. the game. warhammer that I am putting off getting this game and hell playing any other mmo's so i can start the table top game of warhammer

between  the painting  and creating the army. i donno it hooked me

and my wife approves...though its more expensive then an mmo

anyone else get turned to the tabletop game from this game?

No, but when I played Pirates of the burring sea, I got so into the period of time of real pirates I starting reading pirates history, got so hooked I stopped playing the game.

You lucky lucky man.

It was my wife who eventually...hmmmm, how can I put this gently...encouraged me to cut down on my playing, and eventually stop all together.  In all honesty, though, I used to be one of those guys that had the weekly debate between a new gross of Skaven troops or food.  Plus, my Saturdays and Sundays were Game Days. 

Maybe if you're feeling daring some day, you could post some photos of your freshly painted troops in the screenshot section!  It may be nice to see some figures mixed in with game screenshots.

Good luck, and I hope you have as much fun as I did with the hobby.

I used to play the Paper and Dice game....I was a bit set back when the skaven or fimir races were not playable.

 

Today, while questing, I ran across a Skaven! (npc).  It was great.

 

This world has so much lore.  You should pick up a copy of the Warhammer Fantasy hardback.  Its like a Players Handbook and DM Guide in one.  Inside is a ton of history, how the factions came about, and provides alot of the who/why/when/where questions.
