Ok.. Having been on when WoW launched, and Lord of the Rings, and Age of Conan. WAR has by a HUGE margin a much better and smooth roll out then any of the other MMOs that have been released so far.

If you had problems installing the game and getting going, you can't blame that on the game it self, because well the game can't install and set up it's self. You only tried the game for an hour?

I personally am having alot of fun with the game. Just like WOW and all the other MMOs it takes a few hours to actually get in to the game, and get a feel for how it works and plays. Yes it's different then Warcraft, but then it's not WOW so don't expect it to be the same. Yes there is a lot of things that are taken from other games. Achievments which wasn't started with WOW... or even LOTR for that matter. There really isn't so much a new idea for MMOs as it is an old idea re worked in a new fashion.

Any how. WAR is a good game so far. This may change at level cap with a lack of things to do like AoC had, but that is yet to be seen. The PvP is ALOT better in WAR then in WOW tho, as it has been far more ballanced for PvP, Where WOW is ballanced around PvE with PvP as an afterthough.

Give the game a try, level to 10 then give your opinon of it before you trash it down before you even get in to playing it.
