Warhammer Online "Museum" - WAR Page on Camelot Unchained Wiki

Edit: Sorry, yesterday one of CSE employees deleted the WAR page; Nothing I can do about it - besides fragments & leftovers below.

For anyone nostalgic about WAR, as I obviously am =) , here is couple "leftovers" from updating that page:

  • Here's couple random videos about sieges and scenarios - Tor Anroc (lava bath! - Dwarf Ironbreaker PoW) and the (failed =) ) siege of Dok Karaz, Barak Varr keep, T2 (Dwarf Engineer PoW)
 W...aaagh?

    Darn, this brings back too many memories.  Mostly good, but some not so good.  Thanks for the post!

    You are welcome! PS I just found out that MMORPG.com has 200+  WAR screenshots - here they are.

    Was such an awesome game for pvp, loved the art and overall Warhammer flavor as well.

    I played this game for the first 3-4 months it was out and then I quit and didn't go back.  If I recall correctly the reason I quit was because the fastest and really only way to level was to play ScenarioHammer.  I found myself doing nothing all day but Q'ing up for scenarios on the same 2-3 maps and that got boring real quick.

    I never did check back to see if they fixed that and made the open world worth exploring.

    Also, I'm not even sure how that "return of reckoning" site exists.  Games Workshop is quite literally the Scientologists of the gaming world.  They have more lawyers than employees, the most ridiculous and heavy handed rules for retailers I've ever heard of and a spin department that could make lead look like gold.

    I had exactly the opposite problem with Scenarios, I enjoyed them too much compared to the "main" game, that is RvR. Never thought of them as of grind (well, there was couple moments...)

    Another "problem" is that I spent like 80% of playtime RvRing on both sides in T1,2,3  (T3 was my favorite but as a rule almost always empty, another piece of wonderful but failed design).  I guess that's how I avoided the endgame grind burnout, thou I had some maxed out toons which is kinda inevitable when someone plays untill the very shutdown.

    So, low tiers and scenarios were more fun (I guess many will agree with me) than T4 RvR, turning it all upside down.

    Then go play. 550 people are online right now and they are all spread across T1 and T2. Plenty of fun if you ask me :)

    Man, it was 5 looong years - not that I suffered from burnout (somehow I didn't!?!?! while playing like a maniac) but on the contrary, I'm afraid I might get hooked (again).

    I have some RL stuff to do first. Must...resist...WAR...... O.o

    I feel you man. I have so many games installed but I know that a moment I start, I will forget about my RL problems. So must resist any MMO for me :dizzy:

    I've been playing this recently, they've done an amazing job with this EMU project.

    It's funny because the game was deemed a total catastrophic failure for losing 50% of it's subs in 3 months.

    Nowadays that would be considered a raging success.

    This is a time when WoW was gaining subs and new MMORPGs were considered capable of "killing WoW".
