My confusion was only part to how closely these two games resemble one another, which is not a good place for WAR to be, when one is the run away leader of the pack, at least LOTRO stands alone in terms of it's appeal.

Mythic already had to cut content and classes to get this out of the door, and all you are getting now is the stuff you should have had 2 months ago, and players are supposed to be excited by this 'addition'?

However, what about the other capital cities, and more than 2 classes were cut from the game before launch? So for those still enthusiastic about this game, I think it's a great thing, but those numbers have definitely taken a nose dive in recent weeks.

Like I said I hope Mythic can pull this around, but on the server I've played on, it's a hell of a job even finding other folks at times. Sad, but true, as I really like the Warhammer IP.
