Are you leaving WoW for WAR?

[-silencer-]

A whole server of nothing but Laughing Skull STV ... how much a month?

You're on LS? Character names?

Like I said, I had very high hopes for WAR above any and all MMOs that have been in production ever! I pre-ordered 2 CEs and I will still get them and just hold on to them. Like Stabface said, ill wait until they have many updates. It could turn out to be a better game down the road.

EQ2 is a good example of a game that was less than perfect when it was released. And I'm so into WoW now or I would be playing EQ2. They made many changes over the years and it has turned out to be a way better game than when it came out.

Are you still in the beta? I've heard that this week they made some major changes that really fixed some of the broken mechanics. Though as far as what they fixed idk, stinking NDA.

I'm in the CE Beta, and although I don't have any reference from before yesterday, I'd say this Beta is going a LOT better then my experiences with AoC Beta.

I just need another US beta account to test out my software boxing solution, and I'll be good to go on release.

Please make a post to update all of us when you do =) I'm very curious about the follow and assist for WAR.

1) It's Mythic. I'm operating on the "screw me once, shame on you; screw me twice, shame on me" principle after DAoC. The constant over-nerfs (Zerkers and Animists?) and over-buffs (ToA and Fire Wizards?) just left a bad taste in my mouth.

2) It's Mythic. If you look in their games, you'll notice that while they have high polygon counts, they also have almost zero dynamic content. Look at WoW's zones and in spite of the content you'll see that the grass waves, the trees sway, critters and people move around, patrol, carry on group events, etc. Mythic towns tend to look completely static.

3) Note that we've not seen how the engine works when you get 400+ people in a RVR battle, yet. Even WoW has had trouble with that (TM vs SS zone crashes and corpse lag, anyone?). And unless they can do massive zerg battles over fortifications, there's no compelling reason for me to ditch WoW for WAR. I've never been one of those "Let's see how big my epeen can grow from 1v1'ing these nubs" people, so "good" PVP isn't what I'm after. If there were RvR a-la old Frontiers, I'd be all over it.

For me, we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.

In order for WAR (already pre-ordered) to take me from WOW they will have to really catch my attention with the pvp system.

I have always been a fan of MMO's that have a good even ballance of PVP and PVE. IMO WoW has done a Close-to-Perfect job.
