oh nice they learned the value of Tenacity from WoW. Good for them!

Its actually pretty ironic if you think about it. One of the lead guys workin on Warhammer during its development said that he was "flattered" that WoW was stealing ideas from Warhammer on pvp, (when WoW created Wintergrasp, which was in development way before warhammer showed what they could have stole) and now Warhammer is finally learning about Tenacity-type mechanics. (I don't think wow created that themselves, someone else probably did but still)

Just a funny little irony. But still good for them.

Well seeing as how I expected a bunch of angry responses from War-lovers and the other comments so far are talking about the failures, I'll just say that I don't care that much if its good for them. Its funny about that irony, but I don't care much for War.

I do hope they stay alive enough so that the people who worked hard at the development team for so long have jobs and don't get laid off. Thats as far as it goes. Let them keep their jobs for the hard work they put in. Maybe one day WAR will learn to listen and fix those problems in the comments below, maybe not. Even if they do it may be too late. You know what they say, if an MMO doesn't get it right the first time, it may never get a chance again, even if its fixed.

I bet if WOW had a single or even just 2 starting areas, and only so much content and things to do in the beginning, and it took them a year to try to fix anything, WoW wouldn't be the giant it is. Even if the end result 5 years later was still what it is now. The big first impression is sometimes everything.
