MMORPG.com Managing Editor Jon Wood has been playing the head start for Mythic's Warhammer Online and today offers his opinions of the game. He writes:
"While the title of this article might be a little bit clichéd and obvious, the spirit behind it is perfectly legitimate. With the full launch of Mythic Entertainment's Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning only a few hours away, I thought it might be helpful for those of you out there who haven't rushed out and bought the Collector's Edition or pre-ordered a box to hear my impressions of the game and whether or not you should go out and spend your hard earned money on this new RvR offering.
The answer to the question ,"Is it worth my money?" isn't as easy or black and white as you might think. Like most MMOs, your enjoyment of Warhammer Online is going to depend on your own personal likes and dislikes when it comes to MMOs. I'm going to address a number of questions that you may or may not have about the game."
Let nostalgia take you back to the lands you once roamed until they were cruelly taken offline and away from us. MMOGames list the top 10 MMOs that died and left us with a hole in our hearts.
I agree when it comes to The Sims Online. That game was really fun and nothing has even come close to it. I still crave a new Sims with online multiplayer. Blows my mind they haven't done anything like that since The Sims Online or even The Sims Bustin' Out on PS2.
Kevin from Denkiphile: "The first I’d ever heard of Titan was at the height of my World of Warcraft career, which was also the same time that several games, touted as WoW-killers, came onto the market and failed miserably. It made sense to me at the time that the only thing that could kill WoW was Blizzard themselves, but this also eventually changed with the advent of session-based, microtransaction-supported games like League of Legends. Titan was supposed to revolutionize and revitalize the MMO genre, but it certainly was not the first to crash and burn before its first flight. Here are some MMOs whose ambitions flew them too close to the sun."
The closing of multiplayer services can happen for a number of reasons. Sometimes there just aren’t enough people using a product to justify keeping it running while in others it could be down to complicated legal wrangling, like expiring licensing agreements, or even a desire to bring out a new installment.
One thing is clear though – many of these discontinued games simply don’t deserve to die, to be cut down in their prime leaving players without a viable alternative and waste all that time the audience invested in them. With that in mind, this article will count down the 12 games least deserving of being shut down, the ones that players the world over wished had kept going.
WAR!(huhu... yeah) What is it good for? Absolutely nothing
But the beta was actually pretty good :)
Well, I am not in agreement with the article at all. This guy dances around the content of the game. You can tell he wants to say he didn't like it but is afraid of offending someone.
He should have focused on the details of what the game specifically has to offer if he really wanted us to get an unbiased idea if we should buy it or not.
I decided to buy it anyway and have played if for a week now. He left out a ton of stuff, so much in fact that I don't even have time to share it with the public. It is a very good MMO. I am not going to dance around and tell you it depends on what you like. This game has it all. PVP/RVR/PVE/Senerios/Crafting/ Lot's and Lot's of quests. You do not have to PVP if you don't want to ever!!
Anyway I could go on forever, I just wanted all you MMO'ers out there to know this is a good game. You will enjoy it. WoW killer? It remains to be seen.
