Warhammer Online goes gold, loots it

Finally :)

WoW is canceled and I'm ready to surrender my life to a new fantasy world that does nothing but harm me in the real world. I can't wait!!

How much will it cost to play online?

Got in the preview weekend and I was impressed with what I saw. Apart from some screwy pet AI issues (my squig wouldn't listen to me until after my target was dead and he would spend quite a bit of time trying to kill the corpse), I was surprised at how solid the game was. Looking forward to destroying those wimps on the side of Order with my awesome squig.

It was really fun being in the beta test over the past couple of months. Can't wait for it go hit the shelves. :D

Getting tired of the 'fantasy' MMORPGs, which is why I spent over 2 years with MxO (The Matrix Online) and will be joining SWG (Star Wars Galaxies) soon.
Irony is, I have a level 70 on WoW and am looking forward to WotLK. More Sci-Fi/Cyber-Punk action MMOs please.

I have heard that WAR has left a lot of features behind and a lot of things are slightly buggy in an attempt to get it out before the WotLK hype starts to build, then again I heard this on the internet so it has chances to be bull.

Huzzah! Though 'gold' is pretty much 'okay we're burning the disk even though we know what we have here doesn't really work and you can expect a massive patch on launch day. Not that this is worse than any other MMOs. Is there a word for that? 14k gold? gold plated?

played the beta


will definitely be passing on this one.

Ever played DAOC? WAR is DAOC2 with sweet, creamy Games Workshop icing.

It's all about the strategy and tactics of RvR, and if all someone did during beta or preview was grind PvE or take part in the zergy standoffs at the Tier1 Empire Battlefield Objectives, they really haven't touched the Game yet. They've just explored some of the mechanics.

Nothing wrong with that, but they should recognize the limits of their perspectives.

I've been in Closed Beta and it's the best MMO out there imo. I've played WoW, SWG and Conan. All pale in comparison to the thought Mythic has put in.

There is alot of innovative new features like Public Quests (these things make WoW dungeons look stone age), the Tome of Knowledge and the Living Guild system (as a guild master myself I am delighted to have this new addition, it gives alot more purpose and focus for the guild).

The combat system is extremely tactical and requires alot of coordination.

Don't listen to the moaners who say the combat system is unresponsive, it is mainly due to server lag (closed beta servers weren't using the expensive servers planned for release).

Also note: The game is less buggy than Conan is now.

FYI Open Beta isn't actually 'open,' it's only available for pre-orders.
