Warhammer Online

I don't know anything about Warhammer and I've never been really interested in this game, but I must admit that some things people say on the WoW forums tempt me to try it. Apparently the game's main focus is World PvP which is exactly what I'm looking for and something that this game lacks. I might wait till after I've tried WoW's expansion but imho it doesn't look that special. Until they bring the world-pvp to azeroth and upgrade the goddamn servers if they do so - I doubt PvP will go towards any different direction.

Also, I recently heard that even the worst PvP gear in WOTLK will require arena points, which is horrible because I can't stand arena-combat :/.

Anyway, if I should start on Warhammer I would probably play something similar to my charater in WoW, ''greenskin choppa'' I think it is. ;)

Warhammer needs time to mature in my opinion.
I respond to Sakareth and Azuril too.

I have to admit that I'm really torn right now. I'm still quite enjoying Age of Conan but it's missing something and it's taken me a while to realise what it is. There is no real focus for World PvP. In the absence of that, people are trying to create it, but what that boils down to is guilds declaring war on other guilds for any real or imagined reason they can think of. No, Age of Conan is a great game and very much under-rated, but does quite feel like what I was looking for.

So then I find myself watching vids of Warhammer Online gameplay on youtube and wondering if I should swallow everything I've ever said about Warhammer and give it a try. It looks pretty good - a bit like WoW but with slightly better graphics and a bit less cartoony. Looking good and I'm very tempted.

Then I find a video showing all of the mounts. Goblin on a wolf (looks great), orc riding a boar (don't really like Warhammer orcs, but it still looks pretty cool), human on a very nice looking horse, dwarf with some kind of helicopter backpack - Aaaaarrrrggh!

I instantly remember why I hate Warhammer.  :-\

So I'm torn. I really want to find the perfect game for me, but still it does not yet exist. /sigh

Well, i decided to play a dwarf on the Allarielle server.
I`m enjoying it so far, since i didnt see any bugs comparing to the release of AoC.
And these RvR thing is great.

Yesterday i`ve been killed by a goblin two lvls higher than me and since i was near dwarf war camp, i went in to it and started to shoot at that gobo from a canons located in the camp ;D
Didnt kill him, but his squiq.

Sounds like a lot of fun Vlog, but like I said - the helicopter thing just ruins it for me.

I know what you mean, but it doesnt look weird in the universe of warhammer.
Dwarfs are more advanced than others in "machinery", but all their "things" doesnt look strange or inappropriate.

*ninjapost* Tbh, it suits the warhammer dwarves. With inventions they are kinda like the Gnomes of WAR. And I think you should give the game a shot, Akesha. It's worth it, if you're looking for major scale World PvP. Besides, I get to kill Vlog :D

From my memories of Vlog IC...I wouldn't dare kill him... *shurgs* If I ever was afraid of someone in the guild, it was Vlog...
