I would like to correct one thing, maybe my english is not so good (it is not my native language) but when I used the word "TRUE PLAYERS" it was meant to say people who play the game and not a journalist who does a rating after playing one or 2 hours.
it was NOT TO SAY that there are two categories of players, TRUE ones and others.
Sorry for that confusion.
Answering also the claim that people would spam with ten accounts to cast mutliple votes. It is a matter of implementing and e-voting service online as it is done in many european countries to vote for politics. Let's not say the objective is impossible because the means how to do it requires a bit of thinking.
I am amazed to see such a discrepancy between the apparently very good WAR rating and the TRUE PLAYERS rather negative opinions in forums (not only mmorpg.com forum). I understood that commercial pressure and money/advertisement is the cause of false high game rating. A web site such as mmorpg.com will never have an interest in publishing a negative review on a good "ads" customer such as WAR. Another proof of disinformation ? I was unable to publish a rating for WAR on mmorpg.com because you have to be level 100... what bullshit, anyone, any player should be able to give a rating. That's the only way to reflect the TRUE opinion of people without manipulation and censorship.
Dejah vu... Sounds like when AoC came out, were excatly the same posts then.
But youre right, everyone should be able to vote. I guess they have it so someone can't make 50 accounts and vote from them all.
I actually gave this game a good rating, because it's the first MMORPG in which I like PvP and I guess a lot of people did, so I really don't think there's misinformation..
You do not understand or maybe you are those paid (for reacting so fast) to censor. Don't you understand simply that anyone should be able to give his opinion? And no it will not spam forums. Have you ever had a statistic class at school to understand what is a representative list of voters ? never heard that in an election we say only the top whatever will vote otherwise it will create spam. And i do not agree with your non factual, non measured idea of vocal minority. Best proof is that it is probably my first post in a forul since many years. Anyhow this does not change the FACT that WAR is over rated because of COMMERCIAL reasons.
Meh. didn't want to post all of what I did. decided not to. Ignore this. lol

What are you talking about?
No really?
If you are taking the opinions of a few hate-trolls here which all have a few alts specifically made to make them seem numerous as anything even remotely relevant then... I really don't know what then. I'm speechless.
Go to metacritics if you want some more objective ratings for the game, both professional reviews and user opinions.
Most of the hate trolling on this site is done by a handful of users on special crusades (AoC is the best game, the rest is crap... Darkfall is the best... UO... There never was or will be a game like Everquest again...) There are relevant negative critics, that's true, but there are much more completely nonsensical rants that have nothing to do with the true state of the game. Really sometimes I have trouble discerning whether this guy is talking about WAR or is he still continuing his rant against Vanguard or AoC or EQ2 or whatever game that broke his heart all those years ago and he still cannot get over it.
As for the user rating required... what are you talking about? Again? That's a safeguard preventing trolls from making a gazillion alt accounts and manipulating user ratings. If you have a problem with that then well it is your problem, not mine. I like to be able to at least somewhat rely on user ratings.

ROFL
Overated because of your in-depth analysis?
It's quite known that people are more abt to post negative things about a game than positive. Most people who enjoy the game are playing it, not trolling the forums.
