I would like to see your souce on such "skyfalling" news. because you know, xfire isn't exactly the most reliable one around. Seen from inside, the warhammer community seems definately solid, and Mythic didn't even play the card of free trial accounts/buddy codes yet, while all their competition already did that. This, combined with the holidays and the first major content patch, makes for a lot of potential still to be expressed.

WAR and WOW resembling each other? That must be one of the most laughable statements i've seen lately. They have an absolutely opposite game style, one being prevalently PvE (with an absolutely insufficent PvP) and the other being prevalently PvP, and they cater to very different crowds. On the other end, LOTRO, being prevalently PvE as well, is much more similar to WoW than WAR is.

As of the cut content, it always makes me giggle, since in the end warhammer was launched with more and more varied content than basically every other MMO at launch (wow included), despite the cuts. So anything that gets added from now on is most definately an added bonus over an extremely solid content base.
