Also, if you burn yourself out on a game or decide it's not for you.... Others are having fun...just go play something else?
Add to the fact that most people have ADD from playing WoW now. Honestly, I think the reason most people complain about leveling in WAR because WoW has made it ridiculously quick to level to 60 over the last several patches.

Firstly in that guys first post is utter crap he says the game has no replay value that talking crap i lvled 6 alts(yes i am a altaholic in all MMos) already each race has entire diffrent area all the way to lvl 40 if i am tired of human are i go to dwarfs or elfs area.Also read the full post of that link.Its 5 pages long.And the person posting it was drunk.

Yeah depends entirely on wich server your on a few high pop servers whent dead were other servers increased ALOT in last week.Found great guild on new server to for me theres NOTHING better in MMO then keep sieges.And yes WAR has got ALOT of problems but i looked at US upcoming patches solves most of the problems bugging me.And that posts are just from another forum with doom and gloom preachers.I may just go onto WOW officail forums post you links of all the pissed off raiders that say the game is nerfed to hell nothing a challenge anymore.
I whent into KARA with a bunch of green geared people this weekend and it was really no fun WAY too easy.

I was one of the unlucky guys that was on high pop server that whent ghost town.And i got 5 charaxcters stuck on that realm but i heard free transfers are opening soon.

And i started a alt on meduim/meduim pop server and having a hell of alot of fun feel sorry for guys thats on low pop .
Had to defend tier 2 fortress siege last nigth was alot of fun.
War is RVR game if theres
Warhammer will survive even WOTLK dude most beta players are still at it and you can see them in game got worldshaper title on there heads.
Its true server pop will probably drop again with WOTLK but alot of people are just sick of WOW.

If i am in your shoes ill reroll an alt on other server then when the open transfer comes you bring your other toons over.
And your gone get flamed dude should have posted it in Warhammer section these WOW guys can get really angry if they get WAR post in there section.

But we should really stop comparing the 2 games even i am getting tired to compare them this could go on forever.
In the end it what you enjoy play it even if everyone left WAR and theres just 1 server left with meduim pop ill still be playing it till i get tired of content or sieges.
Hell theres still people playing Ultima online and even the Eve online cominity still growing never tried AOC but some people are still playing it.
So yeah ill wont post WAR on your forums anymore but i see no reason i cant coment on WOW i still play it even if its only 3 hours a week.
These day i find myself enjoying more than just one game switch alot between WAR,Fallout 3 and WOW.

Threat should be moved to WAR section.

If you haven't tried it, give it a go. $1 for a month of play. I know I pimp TR a lot (despite unsubbing for 6 months), but the direction the game has been going is very solid and the return to Earth is just around the corner. Probably the best thing going for it is that the combat is simply *fun*, at least for me.

I doubt WAR will die. When the doomsayers were in full force for AoC I had a habit of noting that it takes a lot to kill off an MMO, particularly so soon after launch. TR and EVE are two MMOs that had very small populations soon after launch but were able to successfully react by using small but dedicated teams to still make some money of the sub base and to steadily grow. AoC had a rapid drop off in initial subs but is enticing some people back with solid patches and a change in leadership.

Alliance and Earth and Beyond are the only two MMOs I can think of that died right after release, and EnBs death seemed to be as much about publisher apprehension than game quality.

lol @ the kiddies.


First off, you shouldnt have joined a crap server."

Ummm, did the game announce during the sever select process that this was a crap server?

"Everyone knew barak varr was going to be the best, so i joined it. and PVP was excellent while i did play."

Everyone like.....you?

'as for barren population? seems like they just stated 800k players so,, you seem to be doing stupid stuff/not know how to play'

Doing stupid stuff? Not knowing how to play? That effects the freaking population?!?

Looks like the only kid here...is you.

Wow way to respond with nothing but pure ****.

as for "everyone like me?" comment? Countless number of guilds planned for barak during beta, the population was so much they had to duplicate the server. So yes, Everyone like me.

Nother reply on OP post from same link.
 
Don't worry, after everyone realizes what a steaming pile of feces that WOTLK is, the players will come back to war

The main problem I have is that the OP is such a jerk. He tells us how much of a blast he's having for months leveling up on these MMO's and then he totally trashes them once he's bored.

I am about done with this website if the people that run it can't be a little more objective.

This is the best one .
 
I just think that they have a journalistic obligation to being above the fanboyism

You can't sit there and tell how much of a great time you are having and give us your "level 29" review of the game and then turn around and tell us it sucks cause your guild is bored.

You shouldn't post reviews of an MMO until you have been in the end game for a bit.

Then you can give an objective, honest review.

Otherwise you just sound like every other dip **** on the forums.

I am gone check it out dude i just hope they make WOTLK dungeons as hard as they made Burning Crusade once i was really put off by the Kara run i had this weekend.

I wont be getting preordered collectors edition ill get it of the shelf whenever no rush.
If i play wow serouis again i may just lvl a new alt like shamie never played one ever only class.
 
okeee some people have to much time on their hands :rolleyes::D, i did however find the commentary amusing.

i rotate the mmo's otherwise they get boring. thats why i do not just play wow.

3 cheers for boomrooker, seems he's finaly getting off that high (war)Horse of his.

Grats
 
Could the mods please move this thread to the Warhammer forums?
 
I, otoh, ran Gunbad over the weekend and was greatly impressed. For a game with supposed 'crap' PvE, it was probably more fun than I've had raiding past Karazhan in Burning Crusade.
There might not be much PvE content (yet?) but that which exists is, imo, easily on-par with Blizz's instances and even 10man raid content. In some ways superior.
I cannot wait to get to T4 and try Bastion Stair.

Dude dont take me wrong i still enjoy WAR alot atm no matter if the sales are less than WOW.And WOW will most likely beat it.
And i am playing like 10 characters at the same time altaholic thing kicks in with every MMO way before i come close to lvl cap.
Castle sieges are probably the most fun thing in war for me ATM.Gives the game real medievil feel to it.

WOW is great game had alot of fun in it and great memories i just feel what they doing to the game makes me mad they make.Everything way too easy lvling is alot faster and end game raiding so easy you dont even need to mark anymore.

People that just dinged 70 and started raiding gone think jeez were noobs we made such a fuss about raiding and it so easy they can 5 man Kara.

We 8 manned a full kara clear - extra scurge boss and animal bosses in 1:22, so yeah it is realy easy at the moment.

The reason blizz did this, and i commend them for it, was to give guys that never did and never will again experience end-game encounters. We kill illi before he goes into demon, we kill bloodboil just after 1st set of bloodboils, teron before anyone in the raid even dies, so its way way easier, they say 30% i say 60% easier, teron used to take us 5 or 6 set of constructs before we kill him.

From what i've read, naxx will be back to normal raiding, like kara was in TBC and naxx 25 will be SWP, so the real hardcore raiders will again get their little 10 mins of fame, and then when we can go to 90 blizz will nerf everything again.

It took 40 well geared players to do ZG, AQ and MC, we did it with 15 level 70's and we could have even gone to with half that but people needed the achievements, just as Classic wow raids are p!ss now, TBC raids will be even easier at level 80 and in 2 months time, who will care if you where the 1st guy to have a full set of T6 of the (Hairy) Hand of A'dal title

LOL kara has been 3 manned already :) 3 lvl 70s with partly sunwell gear
 
2 hardest encounters in Kara with 5 or less players. Nethersprite and chess ;)
With 5 people you can clear the place in 2.5 hours and get almost 150g ;)
 
If you play WoW you need to pretty much make peace with the fact that sooner or later, all that work and grind will be invalidated by content nerfs.

If you play ANY online game that will happen... Unless your on a stagnant game that have seen no updates in 3 years (Lineage comes to mind).
 
Wasnt Kara 3-manned by lvl 80 chars on the beta? (pre nerf).
Two DK and 1 Priest IIRC, i haven't heard about three 70s clearing it...
