The true question is...how unoriginal can YOU be? Playing yet another rehash of a fantasy genre, sure is original
Actually I'm playing Anarchy Online. My system doesn't even come close to that needed for Warhammer.

Well, at least AO isn't fantasy and its unique. Lets compare WAR to WoW
Races that are the same:
Humans, Orcs, Dwarves, Goblins, Elves
Graphics:
Well, just look at them...WAR just has a little bit better graphics, they look exactly the same really...heck even the jungle screenshots look EXACTLY like stranglethorn vale in WoW
Lets see...there are ! over NPC heads in WAR...exactly the same has in WoW, seen it at E3...wow that sure is unique
Interface from what I saw at E3 was almost exactly like WoW, except modified
If it is anything like DAoC the WoW players won't stay. Just because a game that has graphics that remotely resemble WoW's graphics doesn't mean its going to be the exact same game. Besides, WoW players go everywhere.
"God, please help us sinful children of Ivalice.."
WoW, smells like WoW and tastes like WoW. This game will be popular, but the graphics suck...
GO AION! Aion is the game you will want to play...not a WoW clone. In Aion, you can even fly and it has awesome pvp. Warhammer is more...orcs...elves...humans...woopdeedoo like I want to play with more orcs and elves and humans and dwarves. the game you want to play is...Aion! Choose it...embrace it... that is all from the Wraithmire station. Enjoy Aion!
and also, the community is going to be exactly like WoW's community...Aion will have a much more mature community.
Post station...end...again, Enjoy Aion!
And Aion isn't a Lineage 2 clone? Give us a break.
Wraithmire, regardless of the fact it probably took you all day pacing up and down the room to write your posts, you can play Aion all you like and stay there. I hope you enjoy your angel wings, paint your nails too
I for one, am glad the OP won't be playing Warhammer.

I'm curious what is the point of this post, besides the obvious? Aion is in Beta/Alpha(whatever) and WAR just started Beta, I'm willing to bet that you're not in either and have no idea what you're talking about...
However if WAR is completely linear it will be a slight disappointment since I prefer the sandbox style games but I'm sure I'll still be playing it because of the PvP and fun factor. Same goes for AoC.
lol, someone reported my post...the mods won't do anything just because I think WAR will suck. I see people flaming SWG and tons of mmorpgs all the time and nothing ever happens to them.
And if I told you I was in beta, that would be breach of NDA.
This is one game I'll avoid...a lot of people from WoW are coming here. That will mean the community will suck big time.
Thats probably the worst fear for people who play WAR, otherwise its looking like a solid, if not very innovative, MMO
Dwarves...Humans...Goblins...Elves...wow very innovative there. Oh WAR has chaos as a race, okay I'll give you that "innovative" feature"
Oh, innovative pvp? Nope, three sides to choose from exactly like the three sides you can choose in DAOC, nope that isn't innovative either.
So, care to explain at least 3 innovative features that are in WAR that haven't been done before?
Its called Beta...and the NDA is in effect. While we're on the topic, what innovative about Aion or even WoW?
yeah, but I want three innovative features that EAmythic have announced. I know they would have announced these "innovative features" if they could to brag about them and get publicity. And Aion you can fly, living vibrant world that changes, awesome graphics not more of this cartoony stuff. No Orcs, Dwarves or Elves.
And WoW isn't innovative at all, they stole everything...and WoW pvp is the worst pvp I've ever had to experience.

I'm not willing to do the leg work for you on your troll post, go to the WAR forums and check it out for youself. This game releases 1st quarter '08, I suggest that if you want to give the PR guys crap at a MMO company you should probably troll the AoC forums since they release in October and little to nothing is really known about that game.
I can fly in WoW and Vanguard, nothing innovative about the ability to fly. Mounts, wings whatever I see no difference. Vanguard has awesome graphics, EQ2 and LOTRO have very impressive graphics also(nothing innovative there either). Several of the screenshots from Aion look like elves to me, if you call something by another name but make it look the same....it is an elf.
Yes WoW PvP is dull and mind numbing however I don't agree with the 'stolen' comment. The only thing WoW stole was the ability to kill another character online, pretty much a common thing last I checked.

lol, everyone knows WoW copied pretty much all other mmorpgs...your post made a lot of sense...until that point. Now I see your blinded in your faith of WoW. WoW isn't innovative at ALL.
Lets go through other games on the waiting list
Tabula Rasa: Sounds good, but I don't think it will succeed in my opinion, but this is on my waiting list and I haven't played it...but I have a bad feeling about it
Aion, I've already explained why...but...it could be bad, we'll see, from what I've heard it isn't very complete in its stage of closed beta. But the features sound promising.
Warhammer Online: This could be the second coming of MMORPGs, or it could be a big dissapointment, but I won't be playing it either way...I don't like the art style of the graphics and thats a big thing for me, I prefer more realistic graphics, it will be interesting to see what happens with it
Darkfall: This could be a great game...most likely vaporware, but it would be funny to actually see it finally enter closed beta
Pirates of the Burning Sea: Never been big on pirate type games, but it'll be interesting to see what happens
Gods and Heroes: heh, don't know much about it to give an answer
Fallen Earth: This looks way better than WAR, no levels and all skill based...FINALLY NO LEVELS!...what more needs to be said?
I just got back on these boards after a long hiatus... Why are we still ansering these freaking post?
At this point its a chicken or the egg type question and who really cares as long as your having fun?
And also of course War is borrowing from WoW, Blizz borrowed from Games Workshop.. yada ...yada...yada..
And to be blunt its all derivative. WoW ripped off EQ, EQ ripped off Ultima Online, UO ripped off Meridian and so on...
Until we get a game about wombats that uses a smell interface and lets you manipulate real world time, space and your genetic code... I don't think anything will be "original".
Comments
sounds like propaganda to me!
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
what is wrong with all the people on these forums creating a battle over two games that haven't even come out yet...
How unoriginal can you be?
The true question is...how unoriginal can YOU be? Playing yet another rehash of a fantasy genre, sure is original

Actually WAR will likely be superior to WoW, as long as it isn't another item-centric grind for gear it will do quite well
Will it be as popular? Who cares?

Hmm, nope the game I would enjoy playing is Warhammer.
As for the "graphics suck" comment your refering art style not the graphics!
Just because you don't like Warhammers' art style is no reason to go around player-hating the graphics, the graphics are fantasic.
I'm no tech but I know the textures and polygon count are more than adequate, but here's a image someone else posted here that may help you see clearer. http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/7281/warvswow6te.jpg
Enjoy!
Just off of the top of my head the Public Quest System comes to mind.
A: thats one, and
B: How different is it from sharing quests AO/WoW that makes it "innovative"?
