all fantasy MMOs hold the gaming angle of their roots to D&D and their general races and such are based in someone's myth and fantasy.
and i wouldn't call Somethingawful an authority on gaming. all multigame sites are run by someone and if they decide to be a fan of a one game and not another guess which gets a forum on their site.

That forum was always superfluous, it was just the recruitment thread spread over a whole forum, and was never needed.

WoW = World of warcraft. Warhammer Online is coming out after World of warcraft and the game is DEFINETLY A WOW CLONE. I didn't say nor care who came up with high elves and magic missiles first. One of the best things about Blizzard is that they see a good idea and steal it.
Way to miss the point, geniuses.

Blizzard actualy riped many ideas form Games Workshop (the guys that made Warhammer Fantasy Battle) - zergs in starcraft were originaly tyranids form 40K space marines? 40K. Elven units in warcraft riped form high elves (in warcraft 2) the elves from Warcraft 3 ripped from woodelves etc.
Games workshop did a fair spate of rippoffs themselves, from tolkein, films etc.

If that's the case, then, WAR are BIGGER geniuses, cause they see what WoW has done and are going to steal it, only with more pew pew and gritty, dirty violence.
Win win, no? Heck, parents won't even be able to tell the difference. Everyone knows of WoW and that's its happy and friendly. Now little 10-year-old Mickey will be able to ask Mama if he can play WAR, and she'll be telling her coworkers 'he plays that game online, you know, the one that starts with 'w'? Wee, or Way, or something ..."
My opinion, the only new thing WoW did, the only thing that signifies 'genius', is the cross server battlegrounds ... and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't they done in other games before???

lol after watching that video, I feel a little foolish about my earlier post in this thread. However, I would still give these guys the benefit of the doubt on their pvp. This video is more about the PvE sytem/areas and quests.
I have to admit that the graphics in the video look too catoonish for my tastes. DAOC graphics are dated by today's standards but they were not nearly as cartoonish.
Not sure why you forum chest thumpers would be worried anyway. Only players who would leave EvE for what you view as a "lesser" game are carebears and you don't like them anyway.....right?

EVE has not died down, a lot of goons maybe have played for a few years and naturally get bored, it happens to everyone, but Warhammer online is a terrible WoW clone.
This link is for you.
Games Worskshop where the Warhammer IP comes from has been around for a very long time.
Infact, you could say that Blizzard cloned the concept in Warcraft and then took it further and turned it into WOW.
Blizzard won the race, but originality goes to Game Workshop without a doubt.

As with WOW, it looks like a total snooze fest.
Dawn of War 2 should be awesome though.

Pretty much. Also, the forum is still there even if the link to it is gone. Not sure how long the forum will still be there for but right now it's a secret club :D

Way to base your opinion off 2 year old pre-beta youtube footage. Warhammer is based around a PVP endgame with a complete siege warfare system available at launch time. Character models do look somewhat similiar to wow but when you start playing the game you should expect a very different feeling world.

Sounds alot like the promises of AoC to me. Not that you couldn't be exactly correct, Danjira. Might be a beta tester, might be a developer, who knows. But the only real proof is personal experience when the game launches. Everything else should be taken with a grain of salt ...

EvE has nothing to fear from Warhummer. WH's player base is a totally different kind of MMO player. WoW and AOC have a lot more to fear from it, basically same kind of players.

Just want everyone to know that the EVE online sub forum on Somethingawful was replaced with a WARHAMMER ONLINE subforum because "EVE has died down".
What do you all think?
If you want my stuff yes but can I have your stuff?
No this means EvE will get a LOT better, this means goons will stop playing eve and go ruin a different MMO.
Doubtful, EvE is about the only MMO out there where Goons and can be Goons and not get banned en masse.

I am *so* burned out on swords & sorcery it's not even amusing. I'll barf if I ever have to kill a boss for the 1000th time hoping he'll drop his big purple Three Handed Great-***** of All-Pwnage.
Funcom keeps spamming me with free AO months and trials to Conan. Meh. If I wasn't so lazy I'd try it out, and just mine in empire AFK meanwhile. Yay for high sec buffs.
edit: I can't use the clinical term for the human dork? Yeesh. It's even TV-safe in the US! I've seen people say 'vagina', so why not '*****'?

so many idiots in one thread
"your game has elves in it, its a wow clone"
it wont do anything to EVE, thats been said already, but the simple fact that so many of you are trashing the game with obviously NO knowledge of the game.
Let me help:
Its more of a DAOC clone than WoW, it just HAPPENS TO HAVE ELVES.
Things it has in common with WoW: You level by killing things, it has elves, it has crafting, fantasy based, money is based on the "gold standard". Broken into Two factions
Now those are pretty loose things in common. The differences are pretty hefty though when you look at basic game functions, like being able to level entirely by KILLING PLAYERS, something that is terribly rewarded in WoW. The fact that it forces more of the community to cooperate with its "public quests" (pretty unique and a good idea). The entire REALM is able to be taken by one side, and the fights for those are pretty epic, and also, NOT MUCH LAG FOR ALL THOSE PEOPLE (200+, and by not much, i mean NONE).
TBH, your all ******ed for smashing another PVP centric game (Early in development there was a question and answer session about the PVE element of the game, to which was answered "Well, you CAN pve..but honestly, if your buying this game, its going to be for the PVE"), and a good 80% of you are talking out of your ass and have no clue about the game, or most other new games being released.
To complain about the factions is pretty hypocritical, seeing as how EVE just introduced factional combat. Saying its not right because your restricting yourself to one side is also showing your ignorance, as there is NOTHING STOPPING YOU from making alts for the "other side" in ANY of these games.
Also, the LAST post, on the first page (post 30) is the first guy in the thread to have his facts straight on the inspirational history of these games.
Once again, its a different player base, wanting a different theme for their game, EVE players will return to EVE, but sometimes you want to have something to do on long skill trains, or just as a secondary game that you play beside EVE.

I've been playing the open beta for WAR and it is lots of fun and PvP-rific and the PvE is pretty fun too. However, it'll never replace Eve.

My beta impressions from warhammer online is that's it's just a shitty WoW clone. The gameplay is so much like WoW it's almost silly. There was nothing I saw in it that didn't give me WoW deja vu.

The goons are mearly the biggest group of arsehats in a game filled to the brim with groups of arsehats. Might also be a reason they are jumping ship. They can't be unique in Eve just moar of the same so no matter how hard they try there is always someone else upstaging them. Also their numbers mean nothing in Eve as they just get swallowed up in the background noise so a different pvp griefer mmo with very limited server numbers compaired to Eve might get their juices flowing again.
Have fun greifing Warhammer guys!

hmm Warhammer Online feels like WOW just with another story/design. I doubt that many EVE players will fall into it.

Did you read anything Grath said a few posts up? Someone who actually knows what is in the game?
That said, I am sure they probably borrowed a few things from WoW. After all, WoW is the game that stole a huge chunk of their playerbase from DAOC.
However, don't be a sheep and write off something you don't understand or know anything about.
