God i hate people that started out with wow and think that they played the best mmo ever and everything needs to be compared too it. To answer the question let me give you some advice... 1 read the basic description 2 use the SEARCH button on any forum based on WAR 3 dont ever compare war to wow becouse all you will get is hate
Amen to that!
Try to understand that for a Greenskin, a day that starts by killing someone with your bare hands and ends with those same hands being chopped off in battle is a good day!

I agree, it can be frustrating, but although this can be annoying, they are naturally going to compare other games to WoW because it's more than likley the first MMO they have played. It's just the way it happens.
However, it's not all bad.
I think the developers know that players will compare the games, and could exploit this familiarity. Because of the similarities of the games, take the graphics, for instance, players will be more likley to switch because its new, but at the same time it doesn't seem too far from what they already know. Also with EAMythic advertising thier game as a harcore-pvp-bash-everything-and-this-isnt-for-wusses game, they are going to get a hell of a lot of the WoW players switching over for a bit more blood than they can get in WoW.

Well spoken
Spoils of War - The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.

So can you tell me, aside from the fact that WAR and WoW are two different games, why they shouldn't be compared? They're both fantasy MMOs based on the Middle Earth/DnD type worlds. WoW is the reigning king of MMOs, to which everything is compared. That's what happens when you have 6 million subscribers. If WAR becomes the #2 MMO, which I suspect it will, then it will be in direct competition with WoW. And when you're in competition with something, you don't ignore it and say "Oh we're not going to talk about them, because they're not the same as us!" The iMAC and PC are most definitely not the same, yet Apple's commercials revolve around taking the two computer systems and comparing them.
There's nothing wrong with doing it, and there's nothing unexpected about doing it. It's what people do. Live with it.
Damn right... but is that a bad thing? only if its a bad game it is :P
lets look at a few things and the hype and their outcomes:
SW Ep1, hyped to high hell... what happened it was shit and Matrix the unheard of film went on to be the better film.
Diablo no on heard of it, but hey its one of my best games, Diablo 2, over hyped and still a damn good game.
WoW was over hyped and 8 mill players pay for it each month, so it must be good.
WAR: Who knows, all im gonna say is the makers are excited... I get excited and i check the site like 20 times a day for my beta key (no lie i swear), WoW and other MMo players keep trolling it cos they are scared that they wont have anyone to play with after WAR is released. This game is constantly compared to WoW and if they got 8mill players and BGs are one of the biggest aspects of that game (well it was for me and anyone I played with in it) then is having a game with that many players and taking its best aspect and making it better gonna do any wrong?

Erm, even if half of WoW's entire population were to suddenly leave the game, never to return, WoW would still have a huge player base. "Not having anyone to play with" would be what happened with Star Wars: Galaxies...I don't think anyone thinks that is going to be the future of WoW.
As for your "Why not take something successful and improve on it?" point, no, it's not going to do any wrong. The only people who do think it would be wrong are the people who think that WAR is ;stealing; from WoW, or vice versa.
