WAR (Warhammer Online)

I defintely don't think this baby was ready for prime time and god knows they've had enough time to work on it  to get it right.hopefully the dev's are woodshedding like crazy to fix all the inadequacies or they are going to lose more sub's faster than you can say age of conan

Only issues I'm having are disconnects and the occasional lag

Nothing else. .. and I play on  a laptop..

Wow if this wasn't the largest exageration I've heard in a long time.

What are these "inadequacies" that you speak of, care to elaborate?

They must be really game-breaking if they're going to cause the game to lose a lot of subs.

i'm not talking about performance issues i'm talking about game play,choppy graphics,lack of chat etc.

For an MMO release it's in an incredible state. Think about World of WarCraft, which released in a much, much worse state than WAR did. I think Blizzard are too busy polishing their Ferraris now and have long forgotten those that believed them to be "doomed". Compared to great non-MMO player titles, even WAR seems quite unpolished, of course. But if the OP is someone who's new to the MMO gaming scene, I can totally understand the reaction. It's still a way to go before MMOs will be releasing in as polished a state as "normal" games.

Could the release have been better? yes

Has there ever been any mmorpg that released with this much content, good quality, polish and rock solid server stability before? no

One of the best launches ever in mmorpg history, no doubt.

I'm a tad curious, did you use floppy drive or datassette when you tried to squeeze WAR on your c64?

what?i must be playing wrong game..

chat lag.. collision/teleporting goes somewhat into lag

servers hold 1/3 population that it is on any other mmorpg ..

yes its stable.. but at what cost..  if you say servers are high populated you did never play any other mmorpg before.. " full or high " doesnt mean shit.... 100000/100000= full 5/5 = full ..
