  • Neither, play WAR. WoW relies too much on the principles of addiction to keep people playing. LoTRO is great for the first 20 levels, but loses its focus and much of its fun from there.  It is a near perfect Middle Earth simulator, but falls som…
  • He may hate them, but they are already annoying.  In an hour and a half span this afternoon, I received around  15 whispers from the same company (3 different characters).
  • My favorite moment from the WoW launch month was when I was playing a warrior in Westfall.  I targetted a mob and hit my Charge hotkey.  Nothing happened.  I stood there for a few minutes, then walked all the way across the zone in frustration.  The…
  • THERE IS NO WOW KILLER.  WoW will die out when it has run its course and enough decent competion arrives.  No one game will kill WoW.  WAR does what it does exceedingly well.  It is fun.  It has a great deal of depth, but can be played in small…
  • Of course WAR will cause a population hit in WoW. AoC did and it was a giant collection of bugs with some game and some nipple thrown in. With WAR hitting before WotLK, it will have a solid impact on WoW's numbers (although WoW's numbers will co…

  • AOC NEEDED a miracle patch.  WAR did not.  It was in good shape for release last weekend.
  • This phase is all about testing the servers, which are doing their part quite well.  They don't want feedback on how your rig runs the game, they want to see what happens when a ton of people are on screen at once. The LOTRO preview didn't include…

  • Originally posted by Xephares The investment was made, and yes, just as in stock, the investment can be taken back.  Once again, the post clearly states that I will sacrifice my chance at Beta for another if it is passed.  No, the company does no…
  • I bought the pre-order from Target last night myself.  I am having the exact same problem.  I was able to set up my master account but the beta code keeps being called Invalid. Mine also had an O in it and Q solved the problem.  I know there ha…
  • I agree with the cuts, as well.  What Mythic has planned for Warhammer is MASSIVE.  There will still be a lot to the game. However, my one fear is that Mythic could end up pulling a Blizzard and spend two years hyping all the free content they hav…
  • Most of these points have been apparent for a LONG time.  We all know that Blizzard today is not the Blizzard of old.  Hell, even Bill Roper let the accolades go to his ego and thought he could ream everyone with Hellgate and they would just eat i…
  • Originally posted by Fishermage   Originally posted by Retrad Then why the hell say the first thing in the beginning? That makes it sound like it's just an RPG with online features, like Diablo 2.   I'm sticking to my original thought until m…
  • Not all games made need to cater to the casual. Gaming is a business.  Making games has become outrageously expensive.  Making a big budget game for only the hardcore fans is not good business.  The question is can they make a game that can have t…
  • Originally posted by demren Originally posted by Stradden Originally posted by demren Scenarios is just more battleground bs with a different name.  Up until EA's take over and pr blitz RvR has always meant massive open world pvp.  Slowly but…
  • I would argue that if you have only played for 3 weeks or so and aren't loving it, then it probably is NOT for you.  The first 20 levels of LotRO are simply amazing.  It is after that that the fun level begins to drop off and its flaws become more a…
  • Originally posted by waverat81   Originally posted by starbead The fanbois have pwned the OP.  Long live Age of Vanguard! What the hell are you talking about?   I dare you to name one game where the starting area is different for everyone …
  • The fanbois have pwned the OP.  Long live Age of Vanguard!
  • Based on what you seem to be looking for, LotRO could well be the game for you.  Its immersion is its strong suit.  If you are a Tolkien geek, then it will be heavenly for you.  It is relatively bug-free and more stable than any other MMO I've pla…
  • AoC won't be a Vanguard level failure, but it will be a bust in my opinion. Its technical problems are at least as bad as Vanguard's were and its "revolutionary combat"  is just 3 buttons for basic attacks instead of one.  However, it won't be a…
