Loading Screens?

Is WAR's online play going to be like WoW, where there are generally no loading screens and one can go in town and out of town seamlessly, or is it going to be like Guild Wars, where you form parties in town then leave town with only those specific people.

    WAR is a seamless world, just like wow. Loading screens will be rare and far away, like when you enter a battleground, a dungeon or you change to another region entirely (going from the dwarf area to the elven area by airship, for example, will prolly get a loading screen)

    awesome, I was hoping for that.

    Does anyone have a more specific release date than "in 2007"? i.e. spring, summer, or fall of 2007?

    Also, what would be the best fansite/forums to discuss this game?

    I wouldn't really call WoW seamless though. There's obvious zones. In a really seamless world, the world wouldn't be sealed off by mountains on all edges. If you really wanted to, could you swim from continent to continet in WoW? I don't think so, but I never tried.

    PS: MMORPG.com says it's coming out Q4 2007, which is approx. Winter, 2007.

    I think you have failed to understand the concept of what a seem even is. It is *not* a seem when a zone is sealed off by mountains. That is because there is no designed content on the other side of the mountains.

    A seem is a server line where 2 areas (both with content) meet and force a loading screen. Its not what you are suggesting it is.
