WAR (Warhammer Online)

I have read numerous topics about people compairing this game to World of Warcraft. I have a few points to give out.

1. Don't you realise, WoW wasn't as fun as it is today back at its launch. It wasn't the game you see now (obvously). WoW had countless bugs, but Blizzard had many employees working for them, so they got rid of them pretty fast.

2. WoW has had nearly 10 years to perfect and make it ultimately the best game of our time. How long has WAR had to perfect itself? Almost a month? *I know someone is going to say something like, BAH WAR has been in beta for l0ngZ time! It canz perfect in betaz!*
-Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but MMORPGs cant just come out of devolopment perfect, no matter how good the dev team is. The main reason is that you cannot simulate thousands of players playing at once. Most of the time, the bugs are caused by those players playing at the same time.

3. And finally, someone is going to come out and compare it to like LoTRO and say LoTRO is a better game than this crap! Well, LoTRO didn't have a pretty launch. I know, I was in it. This reinstates my point, you cant have a perfect launch. WoW has had plenty of time to perfect itself, and to be honest, WAR is repetitive, but it's not like pull your hair out repetitive. Even WoW is repetitive, kill 'x' boars and kill 'y' dragons. Thats just MMOs.

So as stated earlier, WoW and WAR are NOT the same game, and I am SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE COMPAIRING IT TO A GAME THATS BEEN OUT FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS.

Please keep in mind, I am not saying that you cannot bash the game, thats your opinion, but please, don't compare it to WoW in excess, because it's like comparing a small Lego house with a giant Lego Sculpture of the Empire State Building.

-I may have misspelled some things, but please mind it, I am not a good speller.

i just wished people would realise that both games can exist and do well at the same time , each to his own. I like war , dont care for wow , but i know 10 mil people do, so who am i to say its a crappy game?

I just know its not MY game. WAR is.

Yes, I agree completly, I guess some people just can't stand a game that MIGHT take the WoW throne.

Not saying that it will, but it MIGHT.

I like WoW to an extent... and I haven't picked up WAR yet but I am sure I will enjoy it for some time... I might play both at the same time as long as some wack on cyberspace hears about the coexistance of TWO GAMES on one computer and then comes to my house with gun to make me choose...

I know exactly how you feel

Vanilla WoW was ... well,  ~ WOW!  New, fresh, neat, etc....

Warcrap is and always was a good, solid game.  But, for me at least, the time has come to move on.  No hate or bad feelings involved (although blizz certianly deserves everything it gets).  Just time to move on is all...

TBC did nothing for me except fill the gap until another game came along that I liked.  WotLK proves to be nothing more than the same old crap grind fest.... and even worse at that.  So, no thx blizzard, I'm gonna give my 15 bucks a month to a company that offers me something familiar but fresh.  Not more of the same.

But yeah, the folks that go out of their way to trash whatever game they just left?  I don't understand those folks.

Whats the big deal?

WAR and WOW are both MMORPGS of course they are going to be compared.... thats just a big fat DUH!

But all games are different.. even expansions to a game make it feel different.

But of course i dont look at a game based on graphics like half of all gamers do...

Well sorry to say WoW only been out for 3 or 4 years.

Didn't know WoW was out for 10 years now...

not that i play wow but that is news for me.

Down with Wow and War and up with real mmo's

I'm just saying that all you former WoWheads that pretend you hate the game so much and pretend that WAR is so much different and better are going to be saying the exact same shit about WAR come a year. You're going to hate the game when you realize it's completely shallow and, more importantly, when you realize it's just like WoW; that game that sucked the life out of you for a year until you finally came to your senses.

I hate WoW, I hate AoC, I hate LotRO and I hate WAR all for the same reason. These games are replacing innovation with gimmicks and you kids can't won't stop paying them money for it.
