I would first like to state my MMO expereince has been WOW, Eve, and conan (which failed miserably and I quite playing after day 1).

Eve has gotten too the point for me where I need to spend too much time to do anything. WAR has given me a chance to satisfy my craving for a kinda like WOW game I have been looking for recently, without me having to go back to WOW. I have also been able to enjoy and have fun while only spending an hour or two on it, which is often all my schedule allows.

Saying a game is a WOW clone is not as bad as I think it may sound. I find many similarities and improvements that WOW has done.

-Improved group finding
-Improved pvp
-Improved classes
-Improved guild system

And WAR has created things like the PQ that, too my prospective, is different and pretty much revolutionary.

I don’t think it is a bad thing if they take many of the ideas from WOW and incorporate it into WAR, especially if they improve them. Hell, that is what WOW did.

But there are still some things I hope they add in the future, like item linking in chat, and the whole wardrobe WOW had going.

The more and more I hear about WAR, the more tempted I get. That’s not to say I’d leave Eve, but there is possibly a place for WAR on my PC (and possibly my GFs PC).

WAR is cool. I’m not all that big on fantasy titles, tbh … there’s kind of a disconnect I get with those, whereas I can relate to/really get into sci-fi. I’ll probably stick with Destruction, but I love playing the Bright Wizard on the Order side.

Also, as everyone knows, no MMO is perfect, and I fully intend to address the failings I’ve seen so far in an impressions blog. Stay tuned. :)

I participated in closed and open beta. WAR did not impress me enough to buy the game. However, I am a large fan of Games Workshop and would jump at the chance to play a 40k MMO.

Good luck with WAR, sir!

Oh I’m not done yet, will write up some more parts today or tomorrow.

And I wouldn’t leave EVE for it either. :D

Sounds like it has quite a few features I often wished WoW would’ve had.

Something to keep an eye on, though I won’t be leaving EVE for it :)

Nice review!
