WAR is on it's way.

I've played a lot of online games, it seems to just be a bastard child between WoW and Everquest to me.

Covetous:
Well, even a bastard can be king during the right cirkumstanses.

The RvR and classes and a lot of other details are very reminiscent of Dark Age of Camelot, which I played a lot. It seems like they trimmed out everything I hated about that game and replaced it with awesome. Mythic is also very good about patching, listening to the nerdrage cries of scorned players, and overall making a better game, so I have faith that it will only get better. It's been almost a week and I'm already level 13. Also, my guild is pretty badass if anyone wants to play on Middenheim.

As for the PvE - yes, it's a little bit more limited than WoW but I think the quest system is pretty cool - you're not really grinding as much as other MMOs, you're more running around and doing quests every five seconds, and the XP bonuses on the quests are worth it. Every monster type does seem to be confined to a very small area, so the worlds don't seem nearly as big (and they're not) but it works. But guys, the public quest system is fantastic. It's the best thing about this game.

The only two nitpicks I have so far are that the graphics are very dated, and the character creation is absolutely minimal. I'm also kind of ticked there's no tank class for Empire, but the Warrior Priest is hella nice and can kind of tank so that makes up for it.

I'm not seeing any problems with performance - what's everyone complaining about? I'm running a modest $1,000 HP laptop with Vista on it. It doesn't look as pretty as WoW, but it doesn't look as childish, either. And maybe it's just my internal Warhammer nerd here, but the monster designs are really faithful.

Touche, In all honesty though, it may just not be the game for me, everyone else I know seems to love it and the computer I was playing on has been frustratingly crappy lately. But I'm a WoW fan boy (to a degree) and after playing WAR I have to say I enjoy WoW more.

Once they make a 40,000 MMO, I'll be their fan.
