    I ain't pretty but it refines the WoW formula into something instantly rewarding. This immediacy means the immersion factor suffers in comparison to a slow-burner like LotRO, but if you're looking for quick PvP thrills, WAR is the only choice. It remains to be seen whether early balancing issues will be resolved. Perhaps best to wait a couple of months before purchasing.

    People downrating for content, just think about this. Wow was released and it didnt even have a reward for pvp activity. there were no battlegrounds and very few endgame content raids (MC... and...?) now wow is based off of Pve. Ok so Warhammer is based off pvp and has new features such as PQs and tome of knowledge so why downrate on lack of pve content. It will probably be patched in as People downrating for content, just think about this.

    Incredible game that delivers from the very start. No undersold promises here and the potential to become a true contender for WoW's crown.

    Great game, but it lacks a certain polish to make it the best. The launch issues and server population balancing will be challenges that the game will have to overcome in order to become a long term success.

    From a casual perspective, this game is amazing. Between public quests, traditional questing (aided by waypoints on the map), and PvP starting at level 1, the grind in this game is non-existant. The Tome of Knowledge is a great source of inspiration for exploring and offers quests and achievements not offered by NPCs. It also keeps track of rewards and lore. End game, however, remains to be seen.

    nice to see some original idea's actually make it into the game unfortunately bad implementation of some features and complete removal of others have left this so called wow beater, reeling in the corner. in addition terrible eu launch problems and bad game performance for an already aging engine wont help make this the classic it should have been :(

Public quests are an excellent feature to keep the PVE happy and offer a different way to get loot of you don't feel like pvping. There is instanced scenario pvp (like WoW BGs) but there are also open PVP pools like in DAoC where your faction must take and hold strategic points and keeps. Endgame in this game is the PVP sacking of the other faction's capital city, which you can actually occupy. This game is by no means WoW other than the similarity in their interface.… Expand

    Any vote above 5 for this is pretty much the same thing the votes above 5 for AoC were, people desperately hoping and praying that their new purchase will meet their hopes and expectations of being able to be the one in their peer group that was "right" that their new game purchase would beat WoW.

Simple facts are, WAR does not beat WoW...in any respect. WAR's PvP is alright, but lacks speed and a true feel of impact in what you do. Also you get immediately immersed in PvP...which is good, but also bad because fighting in a PvP instance with two abilities and zero understanding of your class is what you'll be doing for the first few PvP instances, the play of PvP in WAR is slow, awkward, badly animated and mostly confusing...even for experienced PvPers from other games. The PvE experience is archaic, mobs don't move around at all unless based at a camp, the early level PvE experience throws a ton of quests at you that are all relatively boring Kill X Number of X quests and fetch quests that bring nothing new to the table. The class balance is questionable, especially on the RvR level, and to top it all off the character art style is no more advanced than WoW's really. 7 faces, various hairstyles...welcome to being identified by the armor you wear...oh wait everyone else is wearing the armor you've got too. WAR is to WoW what DAoC was to Everquest...an alternative, but not a competitor in any sense of the word.… Expand

The RvR and PvP in WAR is too much fun and highly addictive. It really feels like you contribute to the state of being for the world you're playing in. WoW you were just there, you never really could change the world or it's state. This game takes it to a whole other level of participation and feeling of actual achievement. Speaking of achievements...WAR is a competitor's dream come true with the amount of achievements you can collect while playing and not just text saying congrats you did this or that, but they bring on tangible rewards like armor you can wear or titles your name can bare. It is so much fun. I think with the promises of free content being added in the future and the quality of what is already here, this game will last a long time and bring a lot of fun to those that play it. I've recommended it to several friends and all of them are having a blast. Join the WAR and pick a side and have yourself some of the best fun you'll ever have in an MMORPG.… Expand

    Game with almost no potential. The combat is slow and dull. Public Quests is just a different grind for reputation (influence). Instanced scenerios are small and there's just few of them. World RvR is nothing new as well, in fact it's just dumbed down DaoC system. The graphics are dreadful with very low visiblity range (forget about beatiful sceneries).

The classes are for the most part wonderfully balanced, and a team of complementing and varied classes will beat a zerg rush of DPSers any day. Rather than huge endgame quests that take hours of shitsocking to complete and almost force you to join an elitist guild of no-life neckbeards, you get slightly more mellow, but in my opinion more fun, public quests, where anyone can join, loot is assigned somewhat randomly, with bonuses to whichever player did the most work. So all in all, if you were tired of the hopeless grind and unbalanced classes of WoW, and tired of falling behind in gear because you only casually play the game, this is the one for you.… Expand

    Wonderful game that takes the WoW formula (that is, take the best of the previous and do it better) , but leans heavily on Mythic's previous MMO. To date, this is the only MMO that actually does seem to provide the boatloads of time sinks (most of them fun and rewarding) that hardcore players want but the pick-up/put-down play-style that the casuals so love about WoW.

Even still, there are a lot of features that would not have hurt the game had they been included, things that are considered almost standard nowadays. The graphics are very nice, but not perfect. You must force your graphics card into high performance mode to see the game's true capabilities - this should be possible from the in-game options in my opinion (basic things like enabling Anti-Aliasing are not there?) It should be noted that while they took a step away from making things cartoony, there are some things that just look out of place in the world (dragons, for example, need some love) These things I would imagine will be looked at in the future :) Mythic has done a fantastic job listening to their community. The sound is spot on. From the sound of swords clanging to the music, everything is very robust and helps pull you into the game. Gameplay is fluid and familiar, any regular player of an MMO will feel right at home. The new features are quickly gotten used to (targeting ring below character, friendly/hostile targeting system etc) and make you think aloud "Why isn't this in every MMO?" Upon release this game is not a perfect 10. That's not to say that it won't achieve it in time, as fundamentally the game is perfect.

The "lack of polish" issues are very minor, and again, they only really show when you compare the game to WoW.

Not to be cruel but this is simply not good enough to pay for. This game is a basically Guild Wars with a longer levelling process. The gear is given to you as you go with little or no gear hunting aspects. The pve solo quests are truly terrible, generic dross. The mobs are offensively bad, constant mob porting doesn't even beging to hide how terrible the mob ai is. The Public Quests are truly excellent and innovative a feature though and a true highlight. The PvE isn't the point of the game and the game itself is a series of same old same old BGs which are the end game. Imagine the pvp aspect of wow taken out and made into a game and you pretty much get War. Now there's nothing wrong with that but the implimentation of War is actually very uninspired. The character graphics, movement and spell casts are horrible, graphically the game is utterly uninspired with some amazing buildings but also some terrible geometric hills and simply textured ground. Gameplay, due to there being a ridiculous number of classes, is actually fairly shoddy too. Whilst the colision detection ads a true team aspect to the pvp, the classes are bland to the extreme, samey and lack excitement. There are simply too many, the differences are purely graphical in many cases and there is no actual character customisation to speak of. The PvP combat itself is a bit of a downer. The poor character animations result in an estetically repulsive and hugely simplistic experience where a lot of generic looking characters in pvp reward gear run around casting the same sequences of spells. The combat also suffers from pace issues, the casts arent seamless and the gameplay simply doesnt flow in PvP. People keep saying "it's like the old tarren mill battles"... er... yay? that really sucked? People generally hated it after a week because it was pointless and stupid? Why has this become a celebrated feature? And as to overall contribution of your pvp, allegedly making it meaningful, fiddlesticks. It's just bg grinding!! There is really nothing wrong with this game as such, it's playable despite not being as polished as we may have hoped. Its problem is that it's simply not captivating, there is very little to it, it doesn't inspire that mmo feeling, there is no true gear hunt and the end game gameplay are just BGs. I personally hate wow's raidin system but how can this compete when all it has is some pretty average group based pvp scenarios? the pve content, despite the brilliant public quests, simply isn't there. There are no instances, no reps as such, there is no progression and there is just an endless set of bgs to grind through... i totally fail to see the appeal of this game as anything else but a squad based pvp game. it simply lacks everything else an mmo should have.… Expand

    Stale, sterile. graphics. Stiff and awkward animations. Slow combat system. Just plain boring.

    Seems like a great game, love the idea of RVR from DAoC and it looks like it'll keep me entertained for quite awhile.

    Mythic has dutifully done everything it needs to to compete with Blizzard's jack of all trades and master of most. Crafting is weak, and dungeons - the small, instanced experiences that really cement the group dynamics in an MMO - are frustratingly rare, but aside from that WAR does it all, and does it well.

    Touted as being the pretender to the throne of MMO games, expectations for Warhammer Online were running high. Whilst brilliant in a lot of ways, the lack of polish and a fundamental flaw in the game dynamic does not bode well for its longevity. It is certainly worth playing, but it will leave you wondering why it was not finished before release.

    Whether your preference is for PvP or PvE, the frustrations of aimless wandering and vague directions are gone.
