this has to be the most expensive must pay patch there is. no one who's seriously playing warhammer is playing pvp... and no one who's seriously playing pvp in warhammer can get past the $10 bucks from the ea store. it's a laughably expensive dlc. my friend tried to compare it to the must-pay wow-addons. while there is some truth, that you probably can not seriously play wow without buying the addons, a $30 price tagged wow addon has about a 100 times more content than this patch from war. people who pay for this are quite desperate indeed. if i hadn't left war a few months ago, i would definitely do it now. ea just made certain i will never be interested in anything they'll put on the shelves again, ever.
this game looks like it has nothing more to offer, than the trails already show: you get a party and hop from one rift to the next killing stuff. the rifts are... bland to say the least and the technology looks dated already. this is just another mmo that will offer nothing that wow hasn't already done. just... move along, nothing to see here.
eve - as much as i loath it myself - seems to be the only game out there, that seems to deserve the first m in mmo out there. even if it took really only 1500 players before the servers started acting up... have you tried warhammer online? i mean 200 ppl and you can't do anything remotely game related any more. i'm guessing they will probably find a way to improve the situation even more in eve, while the competition will keep on looking bleak in comparison.
