Sad to say it but it's true, just like Vanguard before it the 'Next Big Thing' has burned out not with a bang but with a whimper... and before the release date as well. Mythic have made the biggest mistake of their lives going with GOA - now 50% of their playerbase is completely disillusioned with them and a great game with a great franchise behind it, one that COULD have easily contested with WoW is the laughing stock of the industry. IMO, WAR was the last hope against WoW, and it has completely failed. Looks like there will be no big changes in the MMO world any time soon.
Your post = bigger fail.
War will not fail because of GoA. please inform me how, warhammer online will as you say "fail" because of goa, wow they might lose like...10k subs boohoo but when warhammer online comes out, and people are giving it good reviews. thennnnn them 10k or so nay sayers will come crawling back to WAR. You no it
all you people in BETA that say that war is great need to just chill with that, first of all you guys are the minority playing it, and you only got into beta because you were dam desperate, I'll wait to hear from the real skeptics, from the majority of the gamers after release, me im fore casting a let down, wouldn't surprise no one
I love people who post doom and gloom threads. Let's wait and see how the game is after it has been out for a bit.
Listen up nerds/geeks... most mainstream players dont have a clue what or who GOA is, including me, and I visit these boards from time to time.
Since WoW, many new people have tried MMORPG's and have become fans of the genre and i believe WAR to be mainstream enough to get those sort of people interested as well.

WAR not failed its fine , GOA failed people dissapointed with Eu will go US anyway its too great game to miss it , and NO it will not be a WoW killer.
Oh noes, WAR has failed. It's only in Open Beta, but it has failed. Oh noes...failed.
Unless, he was refering to the Iraq War, yes...that was a complete failure.

Sucks for you, I guess but really I don't know that much about GOA. But I don't live in Europe, so this affects me how exactly?
Of course it failed - anyone in sane mind would avoid GoA publishing and EU beta just proved that. Funny though that even AoC beta launch went more smooth than WAR. So yeah, it is just another niche game, who cares about US, they are smaller gaming market in the world anyways than Asia and Europe.
So much people are in denial about the state of this game, i dont see the need to post in an effort to convince other people not to play it however.

This thread should be closed immediately. The OP is whingeing about GAO registration for the Open Beta in Europe. The title of the thread is biased, unrepresentative and badly conceived. His comments do not reflect the quality of the beta version of Warhammer.
In fact most people who have had the opportunity to play beta in the US and Oceania are of the opinion that Warhammer is the best MMO to be released in over a decade.
If this game fails it is not because of Mythic I can almost assure that, it is because of EA-games, every ea-games related mmo i played has been cancelled, I am through with EA-games, I havent trusted them since earth and beyond, and the communities of the other mmo's they cancelled probably feel the same, look at the mmo graveyard on wiki, more than half the cancelled mmo's and vaporware are from ea-games, so sad mythic got tied up with these nitwits.
Na WaR is Doing great and going strong ,its still on track exactly as it was before, it had a little hickup with EU beta ( yes little) no aoc beta wasnt better didnt have the beta access problems but it was still worse , sux for EU atm but hey its just beta , big deal just hope they work it out for you before launch when you actualy need to worrie about it .
As for america being smaller mmo market than other contries, ya right dont count the millions of gold sellers bro they dont count . WaR is fine and nothing close to how VG launched, and its still a big contender with wow , wow's 4 mill accounts isnt out of reach( again dont count the 6 mill gold seller accounts/double accounts and millions of old cancled accounts they still add i there) , not like we would want it to get that popular anyway it would ruin the game in the end .
hehe poor wow , at least other companies can post actual sub numbers instead of posting a number including every account ever made in the games life active or not.

You're American so I guess you can be excused for that statement.
Trust me there is nothing 'little' about what's happening (or not happening as the case may be) with the Euro beta.
ya on my end its nothing couse i only hear about it on forums etc and everything is fine on my end , but i feel sorry for EU players who cant get i to try it , like i said have to hope they get it worked out for you guys before lauch .Im sure if my wife and i were in eu and having these problem we would be pretty pissed as well , maybe they will work the kinks out for you today.
I'm not new to the forums (I read them all the time) but this is the first time I have felt compelled to respond to a topic.
I believe both sides poise a good argument; Mythic is a small company with very little resources. European players have made a valid point by stating that Warhammer could be in trouble if Mythic doesn't find a better way to host their game in different territories. World of Warcraft depends on players from all territories to maintain its current success; if Mythic can't penetrate this worldwide audience because of poor hosting choices (like the GOA) then War could very well be the next FAIL in the MMO market.
I don't believe War is a failure as far as MMOs are concerned, but I do believe that Mythic may be up against something they can't afford in the long run.
I've been playing War Open Beta, and I believe it's a great game overall. However, I don't believe it has the same overall appeal or polish as EQ2 or WoW, but that is based on personal taste. I still plan on giving War a chance however; maybe I will find something that will appeal to me eventually.
Comments
That would be a pretty accurate estimation tbh.
"no big changes in mmo any time soon"
it seems you have forgotten about the one last hope... yes, Darkfall. IT IS COMING. <sound the horns>
Finally a game with enough PVP to dominate every other mmo on the market right now.
2008, it is time.
Failed GOA has.
Enveloping us in tempting anger.
Darkfall is a niche game being developed by a small, non-english speaking company... how can it possibly be expected to compete with WoW?
Your post = bigger fail.

When the twin towers came tumbling down. And when George Bush went to war on behalf of "civilisation". This American Empire mentality will not help.
Seems GOA handled DAoC, and it's still going so, what's the point of this thread?
You're American so I guess you can be excused for that statement.
