Warhammer Online

Anyone play it yet?

I've been playing since the Open Beta, and it's awesome. So far, it has the capacity to beat WoW (not that I care, either way, since I'll be getting WoTLK when it comes out), but, just like when WoW first started, there were a lot of annoying little things, and classes aren't 100% balanced etc etc, but that's hardly anything to worry about. The best part so far, is you never NEED to join a group, because whenever you get to an area that requires a group, there's already people there and you'll get rewarded just for participating.

Anyone's thoughts? Comments? Stuff and things?

I'm installing the game now.

From what I know about it, despite everyone's "LAWL WAR VS WOW" mindset it is supposed to be appealing to a much different audience. Being from the creators of Dark Age of Camelot and being very obviously derived from it; Warhammer is definitely trying to appeal to the PvP and large-scale warfare minded audience. I'd like to say Blizzard is pushing World of Warcraft in a different direction to make it competitive but I don't know whats in Blizzard's mindset right now. Balancing PvE around PvP is difficult to do and Blizzard had it figured out a long time ago and now they are just making it worse and worse.

Also, I am probably going to be playing a Dwarf Runepriest on the Wolfenburg server, with either an Engineer or Swordmaster of Hoeth as my alt character.

They do that very well. I -love- their RvR Scenarios. They totally beat WoW's battlegrounds, simply because they are TIMED, so you don't have to have 3 hour long capture the flag, or 2 hour long arathi basins...

I'm on the Red Eye Mountain server with Destruction characters, and some 'A' named server for Order.
