Warhammer Hype
February 19, 2008
I try to keep up on the WAR online hype. I haven’t decided if I’ll be making the switch or not. My curiosity will probably get the best of me and I’ll give it a try because I’m a pvp’er and solo’er at heart. The Keen and Graev blog is a huge supporter of WAR. I’m not sure it’s the fix for pvp in MMO’s that he’s hoping it will be. After reading this, http://www.keenandgraev.com/?p=811, I’m not sure if the Realm vs Realm PvP is a significant enough change for the better in comparison to a WoW PvP server. I really enjoy the Arena experience in WoW. Dieing and rezzing multiple times in Battlegrounds and World PvP isn’t the cats meow for me most of the time. I like to kill people and have them stay dead. Or, get whacked myself and know that next time I better do something differently in the same scenario (or get motivated to upgrade my gear).
I look forward to something different and a game designed for RvR, the real war of Player vs. Player that gets my rocks off. Retiring my Rogue and going Hunter is a blast right now. About the time I get him to 70 and geared up with Arena gear, the Wrath of the Lich King expansion and WAR will be out. I’ve only got so many hours in my day and a real life too….hmmm, what to do…..what to do….
