World of Warcraft

After playing Vanguard, DDO, EQ and Warhammer I've finally come to the conclusion that while these games are continuing to patch towards a WOW type game, why wait for that?

The real thing is a finished and better product so went and bought BC (had the regular version and a level 60 Paladin (from playing when it first came out).

See you all ingame.

The more, the merrier. Have fun in game.

wow a postive remark on the mmorpg forums about wow HERESY, HERESY I SAY.

glad to hear your having fun

  Welcome back. I just recently came back as well after a year long hiatus and two or three other games that just did not match up to WoW.

Same story here. What WAR accomplished was to remind me what an immersive world Azeroth is and what a game looks like when the developers take pride in their work. Sure, there are a lot of things I'd like to see Blizzard do with WoW, but as it stands, the game offers a something for any type of player wrapped in a polished, quality product that doesn't require you to keep upgrading your system if you want to play.

Everyone seems to want a piece of the WoW financial pie, but they only seem to want to live like rock stars without putting any real effort into producing a quality game experience.

WoW!! I am very impressed to see some decent posts on these forums for once. Sometimes it takes you leaving to try other things just to be reminded, Hey, WoW isnt a bad game at all its definately one of the best of all time.. period.

I don't know why people are trying to compare WOW to WAR..They are 2 different games.

WOW is more for the PVE person and WAR is geared towards the PVP'er.

We can talk about WOW though....

Slice it up any way you want to, but truth is WOW lacks alot in PVP and thats why lots of people are flocking to WAR...because WAR immerses you in the world of pvp with RVR and PVP. WOW will try to copy other mmo's as they have done in the past, and as usual they foul it up.The truth is WOW is outdated and worn out like a gym sock, it offers nothing new and you can expect nothing new from this upcoming expansion. refurbished characters that were renamed, zerg to lvl 80, wait another 3 years for another expansion. 

Battlegrounds: unbalanced classes and boring 4 year old battlegrounds.

AV: Theres nothing great about being confined confined to a very small area in all the maps. Alterac Valley use to be a place where goals needed to be accomplished and now its a 5 minute zerg fest...boring

AB: another confined map, where you can spawn rape people after 5 caps.

Warsong Gulch: very small, very confined. get flag and run from 1 end to the other, there nothing more boring than this map.

WOW should stick with PVE, because thats the way they started out.

The difference here is mainly about WOW vs WAR pvp and WOW can't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

WAR PVP and RVR: Fun, meaningful, balanced and fair

WAR's RVR and PVP scenario's are pretty big and it offers more than just plain old boring zerging, theres goals to complete and you gain points for xp and gear.

RvR is in every zone you go to. There is keep sieging and there is pvp action in epic sizes, not confined to 10 versus 10 like WOW.

So you can say what you want, you can trash my post, but fact is WAR dominates WOW in the pvp arena, hands down. Besides that I won't read your response anyhow, thats how I ensure I get the final say and you all can sit there and yak about it for the next few days.

Excellent post you hit the nail on the head. I enjoy playing both. I really was never a PvP person until I started to play WAR. At least now I can play toe to toe rather than twink to twink. Way more challenging and fun.

Glad you have a game to play and enjoy, and thanks for at least giving WAR a fair shake.

Enjoy your gaming!
