The <a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com"><em>Warhammer Online</em></a> NDA has been <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/08/18/warhammer-online-nda-lifts-august-19th/">lifted</a>, and a veritable <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/elves-of-war/">tidal wave</a> of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/warhammer-online"><em>WAR</em></a>-related information has <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/massively-goes-to-war">struck the internet.</a> The open beta test is <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/08/18/warhammer-online-na-open-beta-begins-september-7th/">imminent</a>, but countless <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/08/07/war-nda-probably-ends-next-week-ce-pre-orders-to-join-closed/">pre-order customers are already in the closed beta.</a> The game's launch is only a month away! So this is a great time to ask for your predictions: is <em>Warhammer Online</em> the long-awaited <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a> killer?<br /><br />Some folks hoped it would be <a href="http://www.ageofconan.com"><em>Age of Conan</em></a>, but while that game is doing all right, it hasn't lived up for the hype for everyone. Are all your hopes placed in <em>WAR</em> now, or will it take <a href="http://www.bioware.com">BioWare</a>'s <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/kotoro"><em>Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Online</em></a> or <a href="http://crypticstudios.com/">Cryptic</a>'s <a href="http://www.startrekonline.com"><em>Star Trek Online</em></a> to move the genre into the next era? Hell, maybe <a href="http://massively.com/category/world-of-warcraft"><em>WoW</em></a> will <em>never</em> be dethroned by one game.<br /><br />Make your predictions here, but we have a disclaimer: we won't be held responsible for any shame and embarrassment when you're proven way off base in the future!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/08/20/the-daily-grind-is-war-the-wow-killer/">The Daily Grind: Is WAR the WoW killer?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:00:00 EST.
