WAR (Warhammer Online)

Ow, that is sad... You don't like playing the MMOS or games, so you think they are bad... *sigh* You want your character fully developed, done and ready to PvP oh, and let me guess, you want the best equipment from start as well, because you hate all that grinding to get stuff? Sorry but...

QUE?!

Why the hell do yuo buy an MMO? Why are you even on MMORPG.com?! You want Counter-Strike! You want overeasy, one character fits all, action game and nothing else. Just because your friends play MMOS and have an attention span longer than five seconds, does not mean you are forced to do that as well! Be your own person, grow a backbone and follow your own path for a change! You don't wan tto play the MMOs then don't! I love Counter-Strike, I love Team Fortress, they are great games, so when I want a premade character and PvP I play them! This is an MMO!!!

Just because you want to play somehtng else, does not mean a whole genre is bad.. it means you are a sheep following your friends too much.. and doing your own thing too little.

MMOs are not for you. Just do your own thing. Leave those that like MMOs to theirs.

hehe this is a funny topic I mean seriously the game is lacking in content as most mmo's.. level is too slow? nah it's ok never liked to speed through the levels don't see the fun of ending the game before it starts.. but this is defently not appealing to the masses.. This game will get old pretty fast.. but it was as I predited earlier that this game won't be worth spitting lots of cash in.. there is lots of other much more fun mmo's out there most defently if you don't like WAR.. if you like it play it.

There is always good and bad with all games and yeah the game has bugs and was people in shock discovering it??? :P

i got to level 13 in 7 hours.  learn2play.

I am quiting this thread.

I read the first 5 posts and then had to grind my way through the next few.

Well screw that! I am out!

Dont see how it takes that long one of the more casual players in our clan is level 16 on day 2 and only plays a few hours a day. We have two clan members sitting around level 30 after a week and some maxed out already. So if you can max out toyur level in under a month there is no way you can call that a grind fest. not to mention you find any game where people who are such low levels who actualy know how to play their toons properly. I am pissed off at warhammer right now, because they gave me faulty disks and I have to DL the client though bit torent lol so 24+ hours and still over 2 GB left, but even still everything I hear from my clan as well as 90% of most other scorces are good reviews. I think you need to give the game more of a chance.

AoC sold 700k copies

Warhammer online sold 500k copies.

1-2 weeks after release people complain about the game and leave like rats fleeing from a sinking ship.

I guess the 1 mill sub to WAR has finally been proved wrong, and yes Warhammer IS a niche game, if it wasn't it would have had a lot more customers.

When do we finally see the end of pretenders?

At least AoC looks now to have a small chance coming back into the fight after the doom director is gone but Warhammer online without official tech forums and such = Big trouble.

Warhammer will probably have same to twice the number of DAOC subs, since it's simply DAOC2 with warhammer IP painted on it. Had warhammer online had faster combat dynamics/pace then i am sure it would ahve been a lot more popular not to mention i myself would have bought the game. mmorpg companies should start look at what makes games good, bad combat animations/dynamics/pace does NOT make a good game!  And before i forget to mention it, PERFORMANCE, don't release a game with lots of memory leak and what not of problems!

Subs will decrease greatly, when WotLK hits the market and that is a not me guessing BTW!

Somehow i'm glad to see Warhammer not even making a tiny dent in WoW's subs, it shall be the second exsample that companies should drop the whole thought of making pretenders. However their efforts have made blizzard  absorb their few but good features into their own.

Next mmorpg left for the potential list is Aion, it actually building up to be doing it's job proper, since it's being polished greatly(endgame testing began in july after long cycles of 1-10-10-20 and so on phases) compared to AoC and WAR.

Um, WAR sold more copies in the first week then any other MMO ever.
AoC didn't sell 700k in one week.
 

You're trying to mislead people or you're just illinformed.

WAR was never expected to gather more subs then WoW, that's your expectation, not the devs.

WAR is everywhere but certainly not for everyone. More and more the game seems more geared for the casual players and niche rvr crowd. The hardcores will get bored really fast unfortunately. A nice game but definitely not appealing to the large masses and many thought.

yeah my thoughts exactly, I think people who loved Frontiers in DAoC will love this game more than people who come from other games.
