I've been playing Warhammer Online, by the way. Managed to dash in and grab it.
I like it. They really pull of the whole "epic battlefield" thing that i never really picked up with with WoW. I mean, in WoW, i allways felt like i was a lone adventurer... But its kind of hard to feel like that when you have the Ork players literally banging against the front doors of the dwarven starter hold.
Also, the RVR areas ROCK ^-^ But i havent played any other RVR games, so i cant really compare.
Oh, and, also, sorry Anti.

Yeah, all I see are threats, not concrete evidence. All I am saying is that since WoW is the most popular MMO currently, every MMO that comes out better be ready to be compared to it. And my friends and I have described it as WoW, but more emphasis on pvp and group content. From what I hear, units of NPCs running around too. As in, regiments, with Ranks and such. And obviously yes, versing a whole regiment with one guy is suicide generally. So um hmm. Destructable towns though dude. Destructable towns. WoW has npcs that run around too, it's called a scripted event. And WoW is doing destructable buildings and seige weapons in WotLK, so yeah...once again, I am not saying that every MMO is WoW, merely that every MMO is going to get compared to WoW.

Which is kinda BS, when you think about it. Hell, WoW is essentially the same game as Everquest, if anyone here's ever played that other than me. Albeit a bit more user friendly, nonetheless a direct cut-and-paste.

With better graphics, yeah. But people like WoW because of the storyline and good play originally, but WoW has degraded into a no skill, all noob fest that I hate. It does suck that every MMO is going to get compared to it, but since it is the most popular MMO right now, oh well.

Seeing as Warhammer Online announced that thats part of the game right when they started 4, 5 years ago.. and tthose parts of the WoW Expansion's content were only announced recently.. this wouldnt be WoW trying to be like another MMO, would it? =p

Yep. But the problem is that since WoW is a more popular MMO currently, they could say that they had the idea first and Warhammer stole it and people would more than likely believe WoW. lol

Sadly I would totally play Warhammer online as it looks fun and cool.... but I'm not into the whole paying 15 a month just to play a game if I have to pay $50 or more for it. That money goes to XBL.

The origional release date was Nov 4th, the anniverssary of Half Life 1's release. However, turns out Gears of War was gonna be released on that day or something. I dunno, thats what i heard.
Gamespot says its set for the 21st of November now, anyway.
Oh, oh, and, on a side note.. has anybody else seen Prototype or Legendary yet?

I haven't actually found any gameplay footage for legendary yet though, so I'm unaware of how we'll be fighting the griffins and werewolves.

This is where the genius of *cough* pirvate servers *cough* comes into it. We could all join the one server as well? I am most likely going to go with the forces of destruction, and for order A shadow warrior elf and a warrior priest mayhaps. I don't like the dwarves in it.

Well, in a Core server its just stripped down bog standard MMO.. so, stuff that WoW Players would be friendly with. You don't have to roleplay or anything, you just wander around going "LFG", "NS, OMGwtfroflroflrofl" and posting links to Rick Roll. You know, normal internet.
While in RP servers they actually PENALIZE you if you do it wrong. I mean, you dont have to know everything there is to know about Altdorf before going there or risk deletion, but you do have to at least have a proper name for your character instead of daddysbuttslut93. Also, if go around saying stuff like "Looking for group" Or "Goddammit Dwarf players are all tanks, its not fair they've got such high DPS" instead of speaking in character, the admins have a right to reprimand you. Which means telling you to speak in character if they're nice, or just turning you into a chicken if they're mean.
I'm serious. Its what they do. You ever seen a chaos marauder chicken? its hilarious, all spikey and purple and with the mark of Tz'neetch on its chest.
Theres also RvR servers, which i don't really understand. The whole selling point about the game is the RvR (Thats Realm vs Realm or PvP, for those not in the know), theres a massive emphasis on it, even in the RP server i play on. Maybe RvR has a higher point accumulation ratio than Core servers or something. Or, heres a theory.. I've never played a Core server, but maybe they have a bigger emphasis on PvE, while RvR servers have all the RvR goodness but none of the obligation to roleplay. I dunno.
