    What you're saying is that you would preorder a game that you know nothing about?

    It's an mmorpg. Not like the old Warhammer games.

    Looks like people are also incapable to stop caring about people who compare things to WoW.

    Bollocks!

    You could always check out the website at www.warhammeronline.com

    It should be clear enough for even a newbie to understand.

    Yes, one character controlled at a time, just like in Dark Age of Camelot...

    Lewk- Healer of Legacy Gareth
    McDee- Spiritmaster of Maelstrom Percival
    Murgu- Skald of Mordred

    Interesting.

    So, WAR is WoW with RvR.

    And WoW is WoW without RvR.

    Okay, cool -- I want to play the WoW with RvR (which would be WAR).   Sounds good to me!

    Heh, I noticed no one had responded to the glib, trollish comment, and that the thread had died, and I was quite impressed, as it was great flame-bait. I was privately congratulating the forum for ignoring it and not "feeding the trolls."

    But then you replied!

    However, you did it with grace and cunning and, in the end, it was better than ignoring it, so kudos.

    ROFL that was not a troll post.. honest, I am currently playing a certain beta of a game I cannot name and my opinion on WAR (which I am neither confirming or denying having any peronsal experience of via beta or other means) is WoW, its feels like WoW, looks like WoW, plays like WoW... but its PvP is not like WoW.

    Ofc this is just my personal opinion and if you dont agree then ok.. but dismissing my opinion because I am not a raving WAR fanboi and I proudly sport a WoW sig is unfair.

    Gotcha. In other words: WAR = WoW, but with different PvP. I can live with that. I'm sure WAR will be good clean fun.

    I love the quest system... as I seen through all the videos... (not a beta tester... yet... lol)

    If you kill a beast without the quest activated, you'll be rewarded as soon as you talk to the guy... no more -> Go kill more bear when you just wiped the entire map of thoses...

    Can't wait either to see if it'll be worth it! And yes... it'll be like any mmo... like FFXI (lol) but with PvP/RvR!
