Originally posted by Ghost12 On a side note, I dont think you can predict whether or not WoW's playerbase will have a dent in it when these games come out. Well actually, Mythic is a solid company and WAR is going to come out, they have the cash to back it up and theyre a good company. But dont expect WAR to bring anything new to the table. WAR fanbois can deny it all they want, but by just looking at the videos and the way the whole system is set up, Warhammer is just going to be WoW with properly done softcore PvP/RvR, fixing the mistakes that WoW made.
I've played plenty of MMO's, ranging from EQ, to CoV / WoW and all the other shit inbetween
No doubt, WAR has the same graphic's as WoW, maybe a bit of the same gameplay. I can almost guarantee if WAR had graphic's equal to that of another game (that say of the wonderful Vanguard, or even similar to AoC) i'm sure nearly half the shit talked about the game, saying it's "another WoW clone" would be cut. But just cause it looks the same doesnt mean it IS the same game, or that there isn't anything new about the game...Public quests for one are a completly new aspect, which sound like a blast, and there's no hour wait LFG...It's going to have intergrated PvP and PvE in the same zones / area's, another good idea imo. WAR isn't going to be a raid 6 hours a night to get the best PvE gear so then i can go wtfpwn in PvP....It's stated that some best gear will be coming from PvP, But similar / equal gear is attainable through PvE. WAR's bringing some new aspect's to the table no doubt, and so is AoC (i.e. new combat system), which i am really looking forward to both games.
As for the original topic...I think the game will get subscribers from all sort's of games. But seeing WoW is currently the biggest atm, I'd have to vote for them. But in no way does that mean blizzard will even really be hurting, Dont think 100k Sub's to another game/s is going to effect their 8 Mill+ other sub's they got...
