This game will sell VERY well.
From playing over 10 hours so far, I can say it is going to be a huge success.
And I am not easily impressed.

I agree wit this. I played DAoC for YEARS - it was the best MMO, IMO, until Mythic dismantled it beginning with ToA. I played WoW, but it just couldn't hold the interest for me. The PvP was atrocious, and I'm hoping that PvP in WAR is good.

That is part of my thinking. The solid competition could be good for both games.

One major question I have about the game. I know NDA is still in effect so maybe just a yes or no answer would work?

Armor and how you look. I played EQ2 from the start and yes they had awsome graphics but everyone looked like everyone else. They never gave options for different armor, or very little. WoW does this very well, I hardly ever see anyone looking exactly like anyone else. They have many options that are good for armor/weapons. this really helps make your character your's.

War - does it have limited types(looks) of armor/ weapons like EQ2 or is it more like WoW with many good choices?

I plan on playing but I am really hoping they spend extra time making things look different. I really do not want to look like the other 100 squid herder's, how will Mom tell us apart? 🙂

Has anyone been able to create their master account today yet? I said to go to eamythic's website and register on August 15th and enter the 2nd code on the prorder form, but it says that I cannot use it yet when I enter it🙁

Pretty sure they'll allow for significant visual variety 🙂

And it's SQUIG Herder not SQUID herder 🙂

Any chance in hell War will have corpse looting?

like in UO? i highly doubt it, i actually highly doubt you will ever see a game with full corpse looting again, the idea od dieing and losing everything is not appealing to many

Corpse looting is in there, but it is a randomly generated object not something from that player. This works well , especially with RVR. You would easily end up having nothing if they did it the other way.

Well the alternative is to make gear generic and easy to get, so pick your poison...

That's not the only alternative. For starters it doesn't have to be generic to be relatively easy to get. Considering some gear takes weeks to obtain in WoW it's important to be relative here, lol

Weeks? Try months. I ran BWL almost every week for over a year and still never got a drake fang talisman before TBC came out.

True. EA/Mythic is going for a large broad fan base ala WoW so they wont take a chance on their players losing hard gained items in RvR.

I am sorry but once you reached end level in WoW and started raiding everyone began to look the same. In WAR though you will have item dyes and trophies to add distinction between classes but overall a Chosen will still be easy to spot even though he may have different trophies and different colored gear on.

Why do people always want corpse looting? lol, imagine the complaints from something like that, as amusing as they would be.

 

[Dman877]

Is buff-botting in this game? If so, you can double the subscription rates...

It adds to the incentive of winning. It adds a risk/reward aspect to PvP. In WoW you just die and go collect your body. Scary.

In Eve Online you lose your ship and all your gear. Your killer can take anything they want that has survived the explosion so you could also lose a lot of expensive gear. If they leave it you have 2 hours to come back and pick up what survived.

It's nice you get trophies in WAR so there is some benefit to PvP.

I really wish people would stop bringing up Eve as an example of why WoW's pvp is flawed. WoW's endgame progression is based entirely on the principle of carefully metered incremental gear upgrades. Who's going to spend hundreds of hours to get a single piece of gear only to lose it in a 20 second fight in which you're hopelessly outnumbered?

Most players aren't gluttons for punishment.
