No becuase of the pay to play feature. I mean shell out 50 bucks and then a weekly/monthly whatever fee as well?! If your going to go fee based then the base install needs to be like 15 bucks - not 50 -.
The way you have to watch the same at first cool intros each time you start the game wears on a person. Though the opening video - is by far the best part of the whole game!
The lag issues make the game unplayable.
The frequent dumps to login screen, or desktop don't help either.
If your interested play it kinda cool -(if you can put up with the lag, the login dumps, etc) but not the 8.64 rating - I'ld say more like 6.5 - 7.

Who are you?
Welcome to the world of commercialism. First stop: Your standard, very very common practice of charging a monthly fee for a service, to help pay for said service's running costs. That has been going on for.. most likely every since there has been such a thing as money?
It applies to all sorts of services, your normal phonelines, your cell phones, your cable, your internet, and various other typical household services.
The bottom line is that due to the extremely high cost of server hosting and bandwidth, along with personnel and data center maintenance/management, if they didn't charge a monthly fee, there would be a huge negative income flow, meaning they had less funds for developers, for instance, as well as less $ for quality servers and high end network feeds and gear. This is evident in any f2p game out there, the quality of the product reflects their negative income stream.
Even fps games in most cases outsource those hosting costs to home users (the players put up servers, or places like gamespy and such community portals tend to, to attract customers).
Can't afford to pay monthly? There's nothing wrong with that, everyone has different priorities. Here's a tip: if you can't afford it, don't do it. Otherwise.. well look at what is happening to your economy precisely because of that on a large scale
YES BUY IT, GO TO GAMERANKINGS, READ THE REVIEW IT GOT STELLAR REVIEWS. a lot of haters on this board. get advice from the professionals, who don't hate and look at the game as a whole.
So - let me see if I have this correct when gameworkshop logo is splashed shamelessly - hit escape to by pass - er nope don't work for me guess I don't know what the escape key is
Ok - so lets try it on the Mythic splash - er nope - still have to put up with the 2 -3 seconds of logo.
Yes I know the video can be skipped - but again thats the best part so why pass that?
Er and nothing but lag - going to altdorf hurts.
Actually more like a 6 to 6.5 now
Just canceled my account today, played for about 2 months, lvl 40 WP did the instances through the city ones, RR41, Got sick of how T4 RvR worked was just a bunch of instace crap most of the time and thats how city sieges pretty much work also so I could careless.
Its not a bad game, just the end game was no where near what was promised.

Hmm
And can you point to any mmogs that had a well developed and highly ppopulated end game 6-7 weeks after release ?
I agree there isnt enough to do in tier4 atm but thats as much to do with people not bothering to organise themselves or there not being enough players to achieve whats needed to enjoy end game that is there atm.
I see some guilds of 20-30 players expecting that they can solo take opposite sides city. I see see solo players expecting others to do the organisation for them and turn up solo to enjoy the benefits.
I do agree with your sentiment that there isnt enough to a keep siege if it is possible for a small group to take them at nigh and a decently hard / challenging figh is only to be had if numbers turn up on both sides and they happen to be troughly equal numbers / skill levels.
So - let me see if I have this correct when gameworkshop logo is splashed shamelessly,( moron, it's there game, what are they suppose to put here? A Blizzard logo maybe) - hit escape to by pass - er nope don't work for me guess I don't know what the escape key is,( least there some truth here!)
Ok - so lets try it on the Mythic splash - er nope - still have to put up with the 2 -3 seconds of logo. - Oh-man I know what your going thru here, life is just so hard, carful you don't watch it for 4 seconds!
Yes I know the video can be skipped - but again thats the best part so why pass that? - So you really don't have any complaints, your just here making up shit about a game you don't like, that's ok I'm doing the same thing about YOU.
Er and nothing but lag - going to altdorf hurts.- Take an aspirin, that should help your head.
YOU SHOULD NOT PLAY THIS GAME, myself and most likely all the other WAR players don't want YOU to play WAR,(and most likely any other game as well), go away your a moron,( you don't even make the standards to be a troll, hell you don't even know how to use your Escape key!) so please do us all a favour and pack up the game and your pc and send both back to the stores which they came from, then get yourself a Wii or something and be happy!
Just to let you know, in Queensland we run over Toads and there not noble there poisonous.

I think there is plenty to do, I just don't like the mechanics. I was expecting a more open RvR experiance and it is instead highly instance based. In terms of progressing the war to take a city.

Pros? Those "reviewers" just play the damn game up to about lvl15. They also only review based on release content. No, read MMORPG.com reviews, they actually review the same game periodically about every 6 months.
WAR is not worth buying -- In my opinion. It just doesn't offer much.
Tecmo Bowl.
Have you even played the game? I've never had a lag issue and I've played since beta.
As to the dump to desktop - you need a new PC! Or get Vista.
I'm playing on a Quad-Core rig with 4GB of Ram and Vista Premium 64. I've never had issues with either lag or dumps. Try a vid card or upgrade your RAM.
