Warhammer Online Pro vs. Con Editorial - Will WAR Succeed?

Tags: in

Posted August 11th, 2008 by Cody Bye

Thousands of anxious players are awaiting the release of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, but will they really receive the game that they truly desire? Will the WAR rise up to be the shining new king of the MMOG mountain, or will it fail as so many other MMOGs have done in recent years? This is the argument that Cody "Micajah" Bye and Danny "Ralsu" Gourley took on with their Pro vs. Con editorial, and it's up to you to use your own judgment and decide which one has the correct line of thought on WAR. Read the article, then post your own opinion in our forums!

Just like World of Warcraft did back in 2004, Warhammer Online is not trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to gameplay. On the contrary, the developers at Warhammer Online seem to be expressly trying to improve the gameplay elements that they began in Dark Age of Camelot and have seen progress throughout the life of that game and modified in other MMOGs like WoW, EQ2, LOTRO, and AoC. In fact, Warhammer Online even bears a fairly striking resemblance to World of Warcraft, at least in the fact that the graphics are a bit more stylized than what players have seen in many other MMOGs (and this is also the general style of the Warhammer unverse). All of these elements should keep more players around WAR than in the previous games.
