WAR is very good, much more of a PVP oriented game.

I've played mmos since uo and feel that WAR is a step forward in mmo evolution personally. It also feels like it has richer character development than wow. I think war will appeal more to the hardcore mmo/rpg and pvp fans who want richer gameplay. PQ's, Scenarios, Tatics, Renown Training, Mastery Trees, all variations on things that have been done before but are tons of fun and done right in WAR.

Not sure why these conversations always devolve into people getting defensive about wow but every new mmo that succeeds pushs the genre forward and that is a good thing for those who love mmos.
