G4's X-Play reviews Warhammer Online

The game's been interesting. While the Tome of Knowledge is a great idea, I still am finding myself not caring about the story whatsoever... Although maybe that's what Mythic figured would happen, so they packed it away in the Tome for only the most interested to read.

For me, though, this is kind of an issue as it effectively kills off the main thing that keeps me interested in MMORPGs for a significant period of time. If I don't care about what's going on, I eventually stop caring about everything else much more quickly than I otherwise would.

I kind of play it like an action game. I run around and blow things up and die on a level I've not really experienced in other MMORPGs. It's fun, but I do wonder how long my interest will be held by that sometimes... But with the cities going up in rank and the inevitable city attacks, I think I'll have a reason to play it for a while.

It's a good game, either way.

great game, just got it on Friday.

i get a fuzzy feeling when i play this game, i had this feeling during WoW as well and that ate up much of my life.

I CANT WAIT. WAR is a great game.

If your like many of us and are forced to level a "main" at breakneck speed to keep up with guildies and friends it is well worth it to make an alt for exploration. My blackorc is my main focus but I made a sorcerer for when the pq's and scenarios empty out for the night. I have found more super badass stories than I would of expected!
For one even after months in beta's I never knew that giant black thing to the right of the dark elf starting area was a freaking ship! I always thought it was a castle hehe. And the stories even in the noobie areas are really intrigueing.
They need to make it so you can read your tomb when your offline, like at work =P
