Cant believe how the price has dropped!

It's been in the bargain bin at my local store for £6.99 for about a week I asked why and they said it hasn't been selling and they wanted to make room for other titles for christmas, and she said the only way to buy it after that stock had gone is to order it or buy it online.They still selling AOC for £14.99 so that says alot about how well WARS doing.
I still /facepalm myself for spending $80 on the collector's edition. Worst collector's edition I ever bought.
The miniature figurine was broken. The artbook's images were all posted online months/years before the book. The dinstinictive faces for each race looked horrible for EVERY race expect the elves and greenskins (dwarfs were....mmmmkay). Finally, and something MJ neglected to mention until a few days before beta: ANYBODY who preordered war, that is the collector's edition edition (extra $30) or standard edition would be getting into open beta. I wont lie, I, and many others that ordered the collectors edition, did it for the open beta access. Being told right before the beta started that anybody who preordered the standard edition game would also receive open beta was a slap to the face. MJ response to us: If you feel cheated out of your money, then go ahead a cancel your collector's edition and predorder the standard edition. VERY ENCOURAGING WORDS. GG ASS
Of course the people that ordered the standard edition and thought they would be getting into open beta had their own issues to sort out. Mythic failed to mention that only the people with the right system spec would be allowed in.
Anyways, it was my first experience with mythic. It was bad. At this point, I believe mythic is subpar. I never played DaoC, I cannot comment on that. But, my experience was bad with warhammer, and so was many others. I wont even mention GOA Europe's playerbase.
Amazon does that a lot. WotLK is already on sale for $25. I think they do that to empty out their stock.
I cannot argue about how Mythic handled the Beta/Headstart with CE/SE, but the rest of the CE quality is just opinion. I thought the graphic novel was quite enjoyable. To each his own i guess.
BTW the miniature is not broken. You must glue the hand onto the model. They are separated for reasons like painting. This is a big misunderstanding that most ppl have.
I'm glad I bought the CE edition for Warhammer. Looks good on a shelf. AoC CE I felt was a bit better in that the sound track was very good and lasted even after the demise of the game (for my playing). Of course I played WAR longer than AoC so I liked the actual game more. *shrug* oh well. Here's to hoping for the next title.
I think that for the sake of safety (avoidance of wife aggro) I might not be scoop up CEs quite so fast next time around, HAHA!
Well money is made on the Sub, i guess they may look at it the way consoles look at it and mobile phones
look at it, sell the console/phone cheap and make money back on the games/ monthly sub.
This more than likely has nothing with mythic reducing the games price it's more likely the shops have too much stock and the games not selling so they reduce the price hopeing to shift the stock, I know thats whats happened to the store around me.
Well I need to say TY to the OP. Great find!
95% of all percentages quoted on the internet are made up on the spot 50% of the time.
If I wasn't in asia atm, I would pick this up to try...$24 for 3 months of play (including the box)..even if it sux it isn't a big loss...o well
The perfect example of lying. I also have CE and its the best 80 bucks i ever spent. And FYI miniature is not broken lol. Some people have no clue.
I am furious I bought this usless game at 50 dollars.... I am cancelling today.

not sure what you think the poster is lying about, but considering I collect Warhammer figurines, and I ordered two copies of the CE, I can verify BOTH figurines were broken. Arm snapped right off in shipping. About half my guildies had the same thing happen. As far as the beta access goes...that's kind of how it happened. Just like headstart as well.
I don't regret buying the CE though, the graphic novel was pretty awesome.
So, they gave you the option to cancel the CE and go with the normal version. Sounds fair, whats the probelm. Not enough people bought the CE to make up enough Beta users. You had an option, chose not to exercise it. Thats your problem not Mythic.
And as far as computer specs, yeah of course you need to have certain computer to run it. For bugs like being caught in terrain, abilities CD, and stuff like that. Yeah they don't want to be flooded by problems caused by bad rigs, they only wanted real problems.
So your first experience with Mythic seems they acted proffesional. Everyone has bad expeiences with games. Good Luck wiht your next one.
Enjoy : )
Yeah I noticed Amazon has AoC for 36.99 and WAR for 10.95. Clearly they're overstocked on WAR and it isn't selling. Oh well. The game *has* been out since September, so it isn't really a "holiday buy", and we also know that they shipped too many copies to retailers, just as they released too many servers. Frankly the game didn't do nearly as well as EA or Mythic wanted, but I think we know that as well at this point.
How is that even possible though?
The miniature is packaged, as well as sealed inside the box, in its own recessed space within. For that miniature to have been damaged during shipping your box would had to have looked like it had a close encounter with a wrecking ball, to say the least.
The shipper would literally have had to kick the living piss out of my CE box to damage anything within.
Sounds like bullshit to me.

To those who "wasted" their money on the game when it came out. Let this be a lesson to you, you pay to be on the cutting edge, like it or not.
EVERY game comes out at a premium price. A couple months later it starts to drop. Subscription based games get this even faster. World of Warcraft was 50 bucks when it first came out. You Can now get it for 10 bucks. Does that mean that WoW is hitting hard times? No, its just a fact of life.
Shooters, same thing. They come out at $50, then drop down to like $20.
If you are not sure about a game, WAIT before you buy it. The price will come down and you can try it. Shoot, if you waited for 2 months to try WAR you could have tried it for 11 bucks!

So you are saying you were there when he opened the boxed. Therefore allowing you to know what condition it was in when it arrived? Of course not, you and Getalife are just talking out your ass. Neither one of you know what kind of condition his package arrived in. Unless you are going to claim yourself to be some know it all medium, that can see things from great distances, or without even being there.
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.

he didn't have to be there or be a freaking clairvoyent to know that what gfiz was talking about was not possible. Those of us that have the CE box and those who have seen it know that the mini was in an individually wrapped blister package inside a recessed compartment in the center of a rather large reinforced display box. Any damage to the mini would have had to of been delibrately done by the shipper or whoever. The "Damage" and "Broken Arm" is probably the claw bit on the right arm that was cast as a seperate part so it would fit in the mold.
Any one who has put together a Games workshop model (or any model for that matter) would know they come in parts and need to be assembled. Most GW metal models are 3 or 4 parts and the plastic ones are 10 to 15 parts. If you think your Mini is "Broken" take a picture of it and post it (pic or it didn't happen). Then if it is actually broken I, or another skilled modeler, will walk you through repairing it or you can call Games Workshop ( the maker of the model) they are really good about compinsating people for damaged figure kits. I'll even supply the phone numbers

I wish i waited to buy warhammer online for me and my family i bought $50 at 4 game boxes each and i regretted for buying the game we canceled when we hit rank 40 and played slightly over 60 days.

I bought a Collector's Edition as well, since it was the only box remaining at the store I bought it from, and I can confirm that the arm was removed from the body of my figurine as well. To me, though, it didn't look like it had been "broken" as much as it was deliberately removed to make the figurine fit. I assumed we were supposed to glue (or whatever you do with models) the arm on before painting it.
I have no interest in figurines though, so I tossed mine out.

I have been a long time lurker here in mmorpg.com, mostly because the flamewars that place here are lulzworthy to say the least. But there is so much ignorance in this thread, I simply HAD to register and post.
The figurine you get with the CE REQUIRES ASSEMBLY. All miniatures produced by Games Workshop, the company that makes them (and owner of WAR's IP) are this way. They are not bloody broken.
The miniature is WORTH a lot of money! Dont throw it away and dont open it. Sell it in Ebay! If you feel that CE wasnt worth your money, you will make at least 60$. The mini is worth a lot of money to tabletop collectors!
Tbh I thought CE was great (nice comic book, worth at least 30$ on its own) and I live in Europe so I got a nice mousepad as well. For +30 euros it was certainly worth it, since I plan to sell the mini myself and get some of my money's worth.
Also WAR is definetly worth 11 bucks if you can spare them. Roll in a high/high server (or med/med in europe, damn you GOA) and enjoy it while it lasts!
Oh, and nice to join you mmorpg.com! Now, where did I leave my flame suit...

Your post is a contradiction of itself. Highlighted it to make it easier to point out. Like I said, if you weren't there. YOU have no way of know what condition it was in. First you say it's not possible for it to be broken. Then you turn around in next paragraph and say if it is broken. So which is it? If it wasn't possible for it to be broken. The blue text wouldn't even be necessary.
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.

How it came in it's case, which was inside the CE Box. It doesn't look like it would glue on, considering it looks chipped on the broken area.
Did you even read the OP's post? The point is that a game which came out a couple of months ago is now selling in bargain bins for a handful of quid. I dunno what you're talking about WoW for, the original version of that game came out four years ago - and it still costs £8 in GAME (UK).
On a slightly different note, I think what happened here was that Mythic under-estimated the importance which many MMO gamers place on PvE play and on quest solving. Sure, plenty of them want RvR and good PvP, but they want it set in a deep PvE game with plenty of worthwhile quests and meaningful character development. And they want the option to indulge in good PvP when they choose. PvE and quest solving is utterly irrelevant in WAR and I think that's what killed this game for a great many of its disappointed subscribers.
