thanks for the european link

Cant wait for this game, gonna be so much better then WoW..i mean just look at the story line. In WoW they screwed it over, its more like sci fi(space ships etc?! wtf..) then fantasy now..wich is sad. While Warhammer has a dark and grim story line, not like u gonna see Chaos and Humans on the same team( orcs and humans..yes, they teamed up abit in the warcraft lore).

Fo Findi !!!!... What is it with you lot and wizards and ogres and the like... If we get another mass exodus from C.S like the time WoW hit our P.C's I'm gonna ban all Elves from Beeston [my home suburb].

[running sushi]

is this like wow u have to pay every month?

[Mordeth]

Yes Sushi..most MMO's are like that.

And Jon0, how many here grew up with reading LOTR etc, its a way of escaping reality like cs is but if u can do it in a world u have read about, or u know the lore about..its alot more intreresting then running around shooting ppl all the time.. Look at the playerbase WoW got atm...its an insanly amount of ppl still playing it...

[Jo3_Pinneapples[CYM]]

signed up for the beta but i don't think i'll get a look in

[Lucid]

Why anyone would want to play anything but Chaos is beyond me

[Vedite]

the password structure was a bit wierd but eventually I managed to think of something that fits:(

Bah Chaos are dull, Dark Elves and Empire ftw!

[Mordeth]

lol i agree Lucid..but most likely ill be testing more races and see. Dark Elves and dwarfes maybe..we'll see.

[Mordeth]

when is it on full release?

early 2008 its been said.

[HaYl0]

fook that then.

[Mordeth]

fook that then.

it will come out exactly when ur dead tired of WoW;)

[HaYl0]

good :)

[Mordeth]

September the 18th is the official live launch date for WAR.

:)

[Muz]

ahh same time as new WoW Expansion then ^^

[HaYl0]

if you mean september 2009 for wow you may be a bit closer to the truth Yoda, WOTLK has only just gone into closed beta testing.

Expect it around December. Good news on WAR just when i get back from Canada yay.

[Poopie]

I can't wait for warhammer 40k mmorpg

WAR has been in closed beta for about a year now, but considering WOTLK is only an expansion id recon maybe 3+ months? How long was it with burning crusade?

And yeah im in Canada when WAR comes out but im not fussed, ive played WAR in beta and already know im deffo gonna play it at release. But i also know theres no point rushing as almost all games have problems the first week after release :)

[Muz]

nope i do believe 26/09/2008

http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/3438174/World-Of-Warcraft-Wrath-Of-The-Lich-King/Product.html

but then not sure :s

[Mordeth]

Rule nr.1

NEVER trust retailers unless its gone official from the ones who are actually making the game. In this case, Blizzard.

Some retailers had WAR to come out last year somtime...its not out yet is it? :P

[Mordeth]

the NDA on the WAR beta was just lifted a few hours ago

Sorry bout the size :P


And yeah, thats before you could turn the graphics way up so it doesnt look as good as it does in the current build. Also its from the zone that look most like WoW(The orc vs Dwarf zones) all except the first picture wich is from the Chaos/Empire Zones.

[Mordeth]

personally i cant see the last pic i posted so

Belive me, its the best trailer ive ever ever seen for a game..ever.

[Yorky]

thats sweet , & the dark elf sorceress looks hot

[Lucid]

i've pre-ordered and booked a week off work ;)

[Mordeth]

i've pre-ordered and booked a week off work ;)

Good girl ;)

Im in Canada at release tho so wont be able to play for a few days lol..


But im deffo gonna get it :)

[HaYl0]

forgot to pre-order it, ill get it on official release day.

all the nerds pre-ordered it to get early starter balls and it sold out...get lives! :)

[Regul8]

Im off the week of the 15th, so will get a nice start before going away for a week on the 20th :)

Looking forward to this, should be fun, what kinda server are people going for? Ill most likely be going on a core rules server :)

[Lucid]

Download one of the high quality links

http://war.curse.com/articles/details/12917/

looking good

[Mordeth]

and thats from Closed Beta ;)

[Zen]

So whats all this hype abt war is coming, war is comin, war is coming.

Can someone explain to me how the game is...u know blah di blah. What makes it so gooooooood that wouldnt stop me from buying it?

Does it have shitty interface like LOTR and D&D?

[Mordeth]

lol

It has alot better interface then both of those games. Its a close copy to WoW's but u can customice it ALOT more.

The game is an RvR game(meaning realm versus realm). Its focused mainly on PvP(but damn it has ALOT of pve aswell) with 2 sides. Where WoW had alliance and horde WAR has Destruction and Order.

BUT where WoW failed, and the orcs turned "good" and they work togheter etc.. That does NOT ever happen in WAR.

They are at constant war, wherever u go u can hear it, sounds of guns going off, ppl dying etc. Its really awesome the way theyve done that WAR is everywhere.

I dont really know exactly what u wanna know but surely u can ask anything, theres atleast 2 on this board that played it in Closed Beta, and i think in a few days Open Beta starts.

So yeah ask away i guess?

[Zen]

i m sure, every mmorpg has its own story line and etc etc ;) cant just fail them by saying wow failed it :p sry i have been playing wow since its out :D(edit: Since Beta!)

anyways, back to the subject.. can get some screenies for me pls mordy ?

How are the 'friendly-ness' of the game, like hows does it feel, is it like a FPS game? Is it alot of grinding?

[Mordeth]

There are screenies further back dude ;)

But here are some more

http://www.fohguild.org/forums/mmorpg-general-discussion/35739-war-nda-officially-lifted-post-pics-info-4.html


WoW failed its storyline HUGELY, MASSIVLY. And most of the stuff is stolen from Warhammer anyway.

There is alot less grinding then WoW, only thing u kinda have to "grind" is enemy players, but that u wud do anyway? ;)

Its an easy game with a few new things, but if uve played an MMO before u wont be confused. Very easy. And yeah, u wont ever get lost, there is map direction for every quest u get. :)

[Mordeth]

i just played some Open Beta btw

And yeah its has improved alot since closed Beta 2 weeks ago. I'd say its turning out to be a quite quite quiiiite good game now.

I'm buying it for sure!

[HaYl0]

we are on kadak server or something along those lines. (some people are on early server opening crap (im not))

[Mordeth]

So whos playing it? Do they enjoy it? Rank? Hows the rvring going ? tell tell tell :)

its released now isnt it?

[Zen]

seems like it mordy, u missed a whole lot of things

[Mordeth]

Like what? And are you playing it Zen? I know i missed 2 important things, Metallica Release and War Release, but belive me i wouldnt of done it any different, Canada is amazing:)

[Zen]

rofl no i m not playing it, cuz i cant afford it!

[Mordeth]

rofl no i m not playing it, cuz i cant afford it!

[Mordeth]
