No, you don't lose your items. Players that kill you can loot your corpse, but they get random drops. They don't get to snatch up any of your gear.
$10 says some hardercore than thou pvp type whines that it's lame that they only get randomly generated loot, rather than being able to take the actual possessions of the person they just killed.
A few things I expect from WAR are as fallows: I want to be able to best anyone based on my skill alone not my level (Thusly not kill anyone thats better skilled then me or at least have to learn how to fight them), Crafting needs to be a high point of the game and not just something that barely helps out anyone, and lastly that its generally fun and exciting.

WEll this is not happening. It stated that levels (teirs) = power, thus a low tier toon versa a high will lose regardless of skill. However a toonan entire steps under another stands a change with luck and skill, so it is not as bad as many mmos out there. (At least this is the goal).
Almost no info about craftign si release but it has gotten very high up focused attention (i think they are goign to try to make in the best they can ... seems a focal point oddly enough).
DAOC ha dand still has one of the most important craftign system out of most mmo, even tho most item use store bought materials the equipment you make with it outshires 50% of the highest artifact weapons , becuase of their open customization of them.

Hmmmm.....pretty much that it won't be released until the end of Q4 or more likely early 2008 so all this speculation right now is just a bunch of nonsense. All this forum seems to be is uneducated, uninformed speculation. Funny to read for a while, but tiresome.

There is some truth in what you say, however not all of us are "uneducated" and "uniformed". What a lot of us actually do is regurgitate what we've read from the developers or seen in the videos or head on the podcasts. Now if what we hear/read/see is incorrect then sure we are telling lies. However, we are making the assumption that the information being provided to us is mostly accurate and because of that assumption we can feel somewhat comfortable passing that information along.
Now when someone is just speculating, thats a different story. But thats what these forums are for, speculate on what could happen with the game, speculate on how cool this would be if they implemented feature X or included race Y in an expansion etc.
If all you want to read is Official stuff that stays on topic and doesn't contain some form of speculation, I'd suggest you only read the newsletter and the official website. I mean, really if it is tiresome for you, why even post about it?
Space the first two letters of his name and take the E off at the end. What does it say his name is? A Moron ! People like him just look for a reaction from other people, it makes their day or something. Just remember his name and realise next time he posts it isn't worht it and then he will eventually leave out of boredom with nobody to talk to. Nobody goes for a video game forum thinking the only things he will read are official reports and facts only.
All I expect from WAR right now is to release this month's newsletter. Does anyone know wich date it's released by the way? I hope to see the info on Chosen, Marauder & Witch Hunter this time!
I expect each class to bring something to the table and not being overlapped our outdone by another class in that area.
I expect Guilds to be full of people I like instead of 5 people that I know and 35 people I tolerate to be able to participate in the end game.
I expect Realm pride, if you see the enemy you KILL the enemy not leave him alone and continue with what you were doing.
I expect to have an affect on the world.
I expect WAR and everything that goes hand in hand with WAR including war based economies, sabotage, siege weapons, War Marches, etc.
I HOPE for large epic battles.
I Hope that instances don't ruin world combat
I Hope that each class has the ability to differentiate himself from the rest of the class, IE If I am fire mage I want to specialize in AOE fire spells whereas another fire mage might specialize in huge DD fire spells.
What we've learned from epic battles in WoW is 100vs100 battles generate a lot of server performance issues. I hope Mythic is preparing for bandwidth intense situations in multiple places at the same time.

sanya thomas did address this in one of the grab bags in the FAQ, i was browsing thru them and couldnt find the specific's but it is 100% deffinately in there will try and find out more and post it,
what i expect from WAR
1. polished engine and stable performance
2. game world in minute detail (which will happen with games workshop breathing down mythic's neck )
3. solid gameplay
4. one of the best IP's ive ever played with, the characters and events in the world of warhammer are always great.
5. huge raging battles
what i would like
1. community spirit and pride in the races from the community

Which part of these battles was epic?Oh you mean running back and for from Tyren Mill for no gain whatsoever lol.DAOC RVR is what i call EPIC and no battle i EVER had in WOW was EPIC lol..DAOC had hardly any Lag and there were battles with 200v200 so Mythic DONT need to lean anything from WOW(Perhaps interface)as they have been making MMORPG far longer than Blizzard have. DAOC have to date THE BEST RVR-PVP MMORPG ON THE MARKET TODAY.
People need get it through there SKULLS,it was`nt WOW then all others it was DAOC-EQ1-UO-EVE-and plenty others before WOW.Dont think the sys requirements will be bottom line like WOW.Some people will have to upgrade there PCs not like vanguard but definitely more taxing on your PC than WOW.
PMDD is serious business Anubisss I suggest you seek treatment.

I would definately call 100vs100 epic. At launch the most populated server had many such battles being conducted at one time. This, combined with their overpopulation caused problems. Blizzard didn't expect the surge of players they received and given the performance of previous titles their outlook wasn't unfounded. If Mythic learns anything I hopes its how to drawn players in with interesting content. I'd hate for WAR to turn out to be another imbalanced/nerf fest like DAoC.
as they have been making MMORPG far longer than Blizzard have. DAOC have to date THE BEST RVR-PVP MMORPG ON THE MARKET TODAY.
And yet have never been anywhere near as successful as Blizzard, how embarassing. No wonder they're jumping on premium RPG content. They're running on a name.

HMM ok well let me start by saying i played WOW from Euro beta(not open)2.6 years i have played.Now if you think 100v100 people fighting for no other reason than FIGHTING with no gain whatsoever is epic then WAR will make WOW look like childplay.I call epic fighting for your Realm ,having a pitch battle for land AND WINNING is epic.
See your knowlegde is WARPED lol are you telling me that WOW pvp is more SUCCESFUL THAN DAOC RVR?because if you are then you talking out of your ASS.Now as for PVE yeah blizzard have got it down to a t espeacially if you like the ENDLESS GRIND or you want to join up with the ENEMYs to collect stuff so everyone can have a new instance lol.
Have you played DAOC? because if you have not then you have know clue on what its like.If WOW PVP is so uber how come when you read the forums people are fed up to the back teeth with BG-TBC-ARENA LOL and why are you here,should `nt you be playing that uber mmorpg called WORLD OF NO WARCRAFT.
Seriously if you love WOW that much and MYTHIC are runing on a name WHY ARE YOU HERE?.Go back to your ENDLESS GRIND and leave US who want a bit more out of a MMORPG than sitting on your EPIC mount waiting to go FARM NAX-BWL-MC.
As for DAOC needing Premium RPG content ,if i remember BLIZZARD try to get hold of the same IP but alas GW decided against it and hence BLIZZARD invented WARCRAF a direct ripoff of WARHAMMER.Yes this mmorpg you love so much has its roots in the REAL WARHAMMER WORLD.
HMM ok well let me start by saying i played WOW from Euro beta(not open)2.6 years i have played.Now if you think 100v100 people fighting for no other reason than FIGHTING with no gain whatsoever is epic then WAR will make WOW look like childplay.I call epic fighting for your Realm ,having a pitch battle for land AND WINNING is epic.
I wasn't under the impression people pvped for rewards (thought it was for fun). You can't have played WoW for 2.6 years and not have experienced the Honor System, a pvp reward system. Right now its the best pvp system in any MMO, hands down, no argument. I will like see WAR bring something unique to the playing field but right now they have me frustrated. I don't like RvR. Why? Because it doesn't build rivalries between factions on servers. Also, it creates massive gear problems as you can be pitted against realms who are far better off than yours.
See your knowlegde is WARPED lol are you telling me that WOW pvp is more SUCCESFUL THAN DAOC RVR?because if you are then you talking out of your ASS.Now as for PVE yeah blizzard have got it down to a t espeacially if you like the ENDLESS GRIND or you want to join up with the ENEMYs to collect stuff so everyone can have a new instance lol.
WoW's PVP systems are far more successfuly. They have objectives in normal zones, pvp zones, pvp quests, the Arena, a usable pvp reward system and rewards that make the efforts worthwhile. DAoC pales in comparison and flaunts RvR as it's only event of interest, an exploit based on the ease of managing 100v100 on an inferior game engine with less requirements. Hurray for Mythic.
And what of the personal rewards? What does anyone get out of RvR in DAoC? In WoW you build points quickly towards being able to purchase some of the best gear in the game. While I'm PVP raiding around the world or in instances you're waiting for your next RvR event which will have little if any personal benefit for you. In the time you've fought 200 people I've fought 10,000, earned epics, earned my PVP mount ,received rep accolades and still have enough free time to LOL all over your post. Good game son.
Seriously if you love WOW that much and MYTHIC are runing on a name WHY ARE YOU HERE?.Go back to your ENDLESS GRIND and leave US who want a bit more out of a MMORPG than sitting on your EPIC mount waiting to go FARM NAX-BWL-MC.
Rofl, obviously you have no experience with TBC. In TBC there's no waiting, I can join parties to farm any Heroic Instance of my choice, raid Karazhan at my leisure, pvp or raid for phat loot. Endless grind? Playing DAoC for too long has jaded you. In WoW you can reach max lvl in 2 months and enjoy end game pve and pvp content while your piers in DAoC are still scraping along to reach the lvl cap at which they have to begin their gear grind before they can be even remotely formidable in PVP.
I'm here because I want to see what Mythic is doing with the game. So far I'm not impressed. The in game animations are poor - definately not appealing. Hopefully they'll improve their product so it doesn't turn out to be another DAoC.
Mythic has definately attempted to gather apeal through WAR's legacy. They couldn't field another DAoC and gather the same responses so they turned to GW for a more renowned name.
Ive been reading posts and thinking about what they are saying, i thought about WoW pvp and thebad parts about it, then i told myself, holy crap i hope there arnt twinks in WAR

I agree, youshould go back to WoW forums or something if your that attached why are you here, if your already disappointed then you really think you will trade WoW for this game? think before you act, and by the wayi really love the benefits of raiding a town in WoW, oh wait there arn't any, you know why? because lvl 70's ould rush the starting town of the trolls and be unmatched for about 10 minutes, by then they would be all dead.Ok you have all the best crap in the game then what? make a new character give him all the best stuff you can and then watch him own all the honest players because hes twinked?
thats loads of fun huh? most people realize this and sell thier characters on ebay. and that endless grind is annoying
What? You want me to go back to the WoW forum after Anubisss started this off topic tirade? Doesn't that seem a little moronic?
Most people ebay their accounts? Obviously not when WoW's number of accounts are constantly increasing and are many times higher than any other's. The rest of your post was just teenage hormones forcing their way through limited path your mind has laid.
None of us know if WAR is going to be any good and this fanboyish fawning is just embarassing. Quite frankly all the rest of the WoW killers have sucked. I can only hope WAR doesn't but I don't know if Mythic has it in them to make anything worthwhile. I am looking forward to this game nontheless but I'm not going to jump of this codependent bandwagon and sing Mythic's praises.

This guys is such a nub its not even funny . . . Nope I was wrong, it is VERY funny.
"usable pvp reward system and rewards that make the efforts worthwhile. DAoC pales in comparison and flaunts RvR as it's only event of interest,"
What we understand from this quote is:
1) he has never played daoc once
2) he has never ready about anything daoc
3) is talking out his ass
Before wow was ever in development doac had thing called realm ranks reach composed of 10 realm levels. Each level you get 1 realm ability point. With these point you buy perminate/cooldown buffs, abilities that included stun/heals/nukes/etc , passives buffs, anti-CC abilities, ETC. Now these rewards are much greater then a weapon which , in daoc are got from one Artifact which are easy to get now and player made equipment and some good drops . So yes the majority of end game equipment the poor and the most eleet will wear in DAOC is PLAYER MADE. Back to the main issues however, in any case DAOC offers more realm abilities (each with various levels) than wow offers equipment of ALL levels. Here the list of them http://www.camelotherald.com/realmabilities/ra.php.
So in ending PVP in daoc equal pvp rewards, not equipment that is substandard to pve equipment, and otherwise has no point.
In DAOC you take towers and keeps and hold land , you open gates and try to capture enemy relics (each with +10 to magic or physical)
Kaiaphas you are right "DAoC pales in comparison and flaunts RvR as it's only event of interest"
Oh wait did you mean WoW?
Kai i suggest you go play DAOC for like 4 months if ya want to bash, i have played both wow and doac so ill freaking bash all i want , because i am one thing and that is informed. See im not bashing out of ignorance but out of experience and thats a giant difference.
Oh also there has never ever been an epic battle in wow like there are often in daoc.
- i can remember once time they have over 50 trebs pounding all over a keep about 200 people were trying to defend and they had an easy 300 . it was so insane sadly we lost that keep that day but it was a long hard fought battle.

Seriously if you love WOW that much and MYTHIC are runing on a name WHY ARE YOU HERE?.Go back to your ENDLESS GRIND and leave US who want a bit more out of a MMORPG than sitting on your EPIC mount waiting to go FARM NAX-BWL-MC.
As for DAOC needing Premium RPG content ,if i remember BLIZZARD try to get hold of the same IP but alas GW decided against it and hence BLIZZARD invented WARCRAF a direct ripoff of WARHAMMER.Yes this mmorpg you love so much has its roots in the REAL WARHAMMER WORLD.
WAR IS COMING...

I wasn't under the impression people pvped for rewards (thought it was for fun). You can't have played WoW for 2.6 years and not have experienced the Honor System, a pvp reward system. Right now its the best pvp system in any MMO, hands down, no argument. I will like see WAR bring something unique to the playing field but right now they have me frustrated. I don't like RvR. Why? Because it doesn't build rivalries between factions on servers. Also, it creates massive gear problems as you can be pitted against realms who are far better off than yours.

WoW's PVP systems are far more successfuly. They have objectives in normal zones, pvp zones, pvp quests, the Arena, a usable pvp reward system and rewards that make the efforts worthwhile. DAoC pales in comparison and flaunts RvR as it's only event of interest, an exploit based on the ease of managing 100v100 on an inferior game engine with less requirements. Hurray for Mythic.
And what of the personal rewards? What does anyone get out of RvR in DAoC? In WoW you build points quickly towards being able to purchase some of the best gear in the game. While I'm PVP raiding around the world or in instances you're waiting for your next RvR event which will have little if any personal benefit for you. In the time you've fought 200 people I've fought 10,000, earned epics, earned my PVP mount ,received rep accolades and still have enough free time to LOL all over your post. Good game son.

Rofl, obviously you have no experience with TBC. In TBC there's no waiting, I can join parties to farm any Heroic Instance of my choice, raid Karazhan at my leisure, pvp or raid for phat loot. Endless grind? Playing DAoC for too long has jaded you. In WoW you can reach max lvl in 2 months and enjoy end game pve and pvp content while your piers in DAoC are still scraping along to reach the lvl cap at which they have to begin their gear grind before they can be even remotely formidable in PVP.
I'm here because I want to see what Mythic is doing with the game. So far I'm not impressed. The in game animations are poor - definately not appealing. Hopefully they'll improve their product so it doesn't turn out to be another DAoC.
Mythic has definately attempted to gather apeal through WAR's legacy. They couldn't field another DAoC and gather the same responses so they turned to GW for a more renowned name.
thats loads of fun huh? most people realize this and sell thier characters on ebay. and that endless grind is annoying
Most people ebay their accounts? Obviously not when WoW's number of accounts are constantly increasing and are many times higher than any other's. The rest of your post was just teenage hormones forcing their way through limited path your mind has laid.
None of us know if WAR is going to be any good and this fanboyish fawning is just embarassing. Quite frankly all the rest of the WoW killers have sucked. I can only hope WAR doesn't but I don't know if Mythic has it in them to make anything worthwhile. I am looking forward to this game nontheless but I'm not going to jump of this codependent bandwagon and sing Mythic's praises.
This guys is such a nub its not even funny . . . Nope I was wrong, it is VERY funny.
"usable pvp reward system and rewards that make the efforts worthwhile. DAoC pales in comparison and flaunts RvR as it's only event of interest,"
What we understand from this quote is:
1) he has never played daoc once
2) he has never ready about anything daoc
3) is talking out his ass
Before wow was ever in development doac had thing called realm ranks reach composed of 10 realm levels. Each level you get 1 realm ability point. With these point you buy perminate/cooldown buffs, abilities that included stun/heals/nukes/etc , passives buffs, anti-CC abilities, ETC. Now these rewards are much greater then a weapon which , in daoc are got from one Artifact which are easy to get now and player made equipment and some good drops . So yes the majority of end game equipment the poor and the most eleet will wear in DAOC is PLAYER MADE. Back to the main issues however, in any case DAOC offers more realm abilities (each with various levels) than wow offers equipment of ALL levels. Here the list of them http://www.camelotherald.com/realmabilities/ra.php.
So in ending PVP in daoc equal pvp rewards, not equipment that is substandard to pve equipment, and otherwise has no point.
In DAOC you take towers and keeps and hold land , you open gates and try to capture enemy relics (each with +10 to magic or physical)
Kaiaphas you are right "DAoC pales in comparison and flaunts RvR as it's only event of interest"
Oh wait did you mean WoW?
Kai i suggest you go play DAOC for like 4 months if ya want to bash, i have played both wow and doac so ill freaking bash all i want , because i am one thing and that is informed. See im not bashing out of ignorance but out of experience and thats a giant difference.
Oh also there has never ever been an epic battle in wow like there are often in daoc.
- i can remember once time they have over 50 trebs pounding all over a keep about 200 people were trying to defend and they had an easy 300 . it was so insane sadly we lost that keep that day but it was a long hard fought battle.
