WAR (Warhammer Online)

As of right now 25 servers are at Med/Med or greater.  And a few of those 25 are High and Full.  So, ya, I think you wont be playing alone.

"A - Does anyone think this game is going to last more thann 6 months?"   I am going to go against my better judgment and give you the benefit of the doubt here and pretend this wasnt a real question.

 

As for Question 3 -- Phoenix Throne is High/medium, there are 2 other RP servers at Med/Med if you want more balance.

Just because the servers are populated doesn't mean you won't be playing alone. Thanks to scenarios, tier 4 is a complete ghost town and Badlands was one of the servers that neede a mirror it was so overpopulated. There's nobody doing anything in the actual game world.

 Just wait till it becomes free to play. There's been intense speculation recently that this could happen in as early as a month or two. 

WOTLK release = DEATH for WAR.

One...  There has never been speculation that WAR will become a F2P game.  Link it or it never happened.

Two... WOTLK will not kill WAR.  PvP is uncharted waters for Blizzard.  I don't see them scaring Mythics proven RvR system.

Three...  Do some research.  Posting nonsense typically doesn't get you many fans.

Game runs great if you have the slightest inkling of how to properly configure a pc. I get a crash probably once every couple weeks but most of the time its smooth sailing with my 8800gtx. It takes 200+ person siege battles to make the game chug.
Just hit level cap today with my main (rank 40) and there is constant action in open rvr and battlegrounds on my server. I would really recommend Phoenix Throne server(RP) if you give it a try, server is very well populated and teams are actually pretty balanced. You should try and find yourself a guild though, it makes all the difference.
Its true that you hear these strange horror stories from others about how bad it is on this board and i have a hard time believing most of them, its as if they are playing a different game, or maybe they are just fans of other games like WoW trying to spread misinformation. Oh well.
I would definitely recommend giving it a try. Ive been playing since january in beta, got the preorder and payed for 3 months. Still having a lot of fun. But like I said, its important you find some friends to play with, a good guild. This game is all about teamwork in rvr.
There are constant updates to the game based on player feedback and there will be some new classes added in december. Game is always improving so I have no doubts the game will be around for a while.

I don't want to troll you, but we are hardly wrong all of us.

Its good to see a differening point of view - but 3 pages in a thread is not a majority.

I can only speak for myself - and on Win XP, Core 2 Duo 6600, 512M 3870 I havent had any crashes (apart from the flight bug they put in one patch).

Me, a troll? Oh no. I'm a gnome. Soon to be a gnome deathknight.

LOL.. Sounds pretty gay to me, you might as well play toon town online if you think a gnome deathknight is the shit, sounds about your maturity level anywaysl. Have fun leveling your DK gnome to 80, the faster your off the WAR forums the better.

As much time you waste constently on the WAR forums and harass this game, I guess you got no life at all and should pick up a new hobby, oh wait, you got WoW expansion next week. I expect to see you more on this WAR forum when your expansion arrives, cause literally, you got way too much time on your hands.

WoW will be a hit for about 1 month and it will be the same bullshit like TBC, grinding arena's and doing the same BG with no real type of consequence. I give props for WoW for what it is, but anyone from the age bracket of 5 and up can play that game.

WoW wont kill WAR as much as you would like it too, but hate to break the news to you, seems like both will be around feeding off each other for months to come.

Well its 3am on a monday morning , I just finished setting up my shiny new PC logged onto EAstore and thought "you know what if WAR is everywhere maybe should be there" but then I thought , actually I better do some research. I have looked at a few threads here and see mostly a grim response to the game which makes me wonder if I should actually bother handing over 32 of my hard earned pounds to experiance it. I am just wondering:
A - Does anyone think this game is going to last more thann 6 months?
B - Is there anyone actually left to play with?
C - If I do go ahead and buy, does anyone have a server to reccomend? (I prefer RP)

A - Who knows. EA has pulled the plug on MMO's within the first year before. Remember Earth and Beyond?

B - At the lower levels.. not so much. At the higher levels.. probably not by the time you get there.

C - Pick one with a high population.

A-I don't think it's that bad yet but Wotlk and patch 1.1 could sink the game fast and the only people who can't see that are the hardcore fanbois + the games on it's last legs in the EU arleady.

B-This game always felt empty and it's only got worse over the last few weeks.

C-I can't really comment on the US but EU wise your out of luck most of the servers are just about dead there's a few with a spark of life left but I think Wotlk will put an end to that.

I don't understand where you people get your facts from. So many of you claim the game is dead and that it'll only get worse and worse.

Funny enough I play on EU servers (3 diff. servers) and I don't see the big "loss of population" that you're all proclaiming. Furthermore did you tards that claim all servers ain't full/full anymore consider the fact that when raising the server cap which Mythic and GOA was doing several times after launch actually moves the percentage down? Meaning 2000 people that before meant High is most likely just Medium now. Think with your heads and not your arses. It's common logic - and before you go screaming - Blizzard did the exact same shit and alot of servers went from high to medium on prime times. Should I start claiming how they lost several millions players there alone? Hardly cause I doubt they did, and actually since I play both WAR and WoW I don't want to cause guess what... I enjoy both games without having a need to non-stop bash one like many of you people.

Go play your game and stay clear of games you don't like. If it makes you feel better that you can bash a game you don't like, you should really see a shrink. They could help you to a new level of mental awareness.

Have you played WoW? If yes then ask yourself a question - did you like BGs? Because this is all you are going to do in WAR. Same BG over and over again. The only difference - you get exp and loot there. Yes, formally, you can do other things but since nobody is interested in them (and for a reason), the only source or amusement is BGs (Scenarios). If this is your fun - go for it (but ONLY on the server with FULL or at least HIGH population level.
