Warhammer looks pretty cool,

But it looks like it will be alot like WoW. But what won't? Most "fantasy" like games will have the following,

• Race of Man

• Race of Elves

• Race of Dwarves

• Hobbit or Gnome type Race

• Orcish Type Characters

• Spiders and Goblin NPC's

• Map consisting of Marshes, Snowy areas, and green pastures

• Crafting

At least IMO.

theres 3 races for each side:

chaos (daemons that use their chaotic powers to transform themselves, etc.)
Dark Elves (don't know much about them, sorry)
Greenskins (Orks and Goblins, very crafty and very bloodthirsty xD)

Humans (same ole same ole)
High Elves (don't know much about them either)
Dwarves (masters at engineering, runes, etc.)

Also, quests are going to be completely different....just go watch the latest podcast, located here:
http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/media/podcast/
click Podcast #7.

Also, you can level up by pure PvPing....just as fast maybe even faster than PvE grinding. Also, PvPing at low levels helps out the high levels with their PvPs, just watch Podcast #3 for info about that...

Basically, just watch all the podcasts...they are all badass...and that Paul guy that does them needs a raise or something xD

And yes, there will be Marshes (greenskins starting areas) snowy areas (dwarven areas) but I highly doubt they will make 'pastures' as you speak of. The entire planet is constantly at war with one another....and every zone you go into will have battlefields, PvP, etc. etc.

Anyways, just watch the podcasts....#3, #5, and #7 for detailed info about the game...it just looks badass =D


Also...the Warhammer universe was out over 10 years before the Warcraft universe....so...yea ^^

My son won a beta key and has been testing the game for a couple of weeks. He let me play and I have to say the graphics have been cleaned up, almost a cross between WOW and LOTR.

Needless to say the game has a huge imbalance in play right now, but I'm sure that will change. It looks like most of the beta testers are going chaos, dark elf, and greenskin side.

It's shaping up nice.

Cheers!

I read somewhere that the Warcraft universe was inspired by Warhammer, so anytime I hear someone say WAR is just like WoW, I'm gonna shove that right up their ass xD (also the fact that the Warhammer universe has been around at least 10 years longer than Warcraft ^_^) [no offense to you personally...yet ]

Yes you are right...

Was released in 1994

And

as a tabletop wargame in 1983

They're definitely different games, but if they make their mmo exactly the same look and feel as WOW(which is what it looks like), people most certainly can get away with saying "it's just like WOW," seeing as how WOW was out before their mmo.

Well yea, I'm just talking about the lore. Such as Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, etc.

 

[Shiminee]

Where in my post was I referring to lore??? Read the post again, it was quite clearly a reference to the graphics. Sheesh!
