WAR (Warhammer Online)

i have pre-ordered, and got the pre-order box.

But im really not sure if i acturly gonna buy the CE version, or just wait for the normal version and go to the  store and buy it.

Reason: last time i bought a CE version (Age of Conan), i didn't get it before 3 days after the game whas released, and the only reason i got it whas for the benefit items.

1. a ring that increased xp up to lvl 80. (and this item whas nerfed to lvl40 a week or two after release.)

2. The drinking cape, this item whas also given away to more or less everyong that had signed up for newsletter for Free..

so it really felt like a scam, so after that i become really optimistic.

so is the CE version really worth getting, or should i just buy the normal version in the local store?

If you don't care about art books and all the extras in the box then no, it's not worth worth it and no CE ever will be. The in-game items with WAR CE should be a good deal better than Age of Conan's at any rate though.

well with the CE you get beta.....and head start....two items that i think Mythic will keep balanced to an extent to give an advantage early but nothing great...not sure about the tent TBH...and IMHO the character faces you get are by far the best part of the package..then you get an art book (i love the art of warhammer so i will enjoy this) and you get the figure  wihich you can paint (don't think i will though since i don't have an army anymore)

so it is up too you... i got mine for beta /headstart/character faces/art book  

so i am happy

If you make 50K+ a year and no kids and your looking for something to spend your money on then yeah its probably worth it... :)  ....worth is all relative in any case. For someone on a college budget who perhaps is going to find a hard time even coming up with the $50 that the normal game will cost it will most definately not be worth it.

Whether its worth it to you..that really is a question only you can answer. Besides all the CE boxes are gone as far as I know, unless you happen to get a really lucky find somewhere.

Well if your account is flaged as CE and you put in SE codes, your account goes ?????????? and you wont get to keep your ingame stuff or your headstart charicter.

Only you can awnser that. If all the items, just not IG are worth it to you then yes. If you just want the IG stuff you have to ask yourself if the extra money is worth that. If yes, then keep it, if no then dont. Its really not that hard to figure out.

Ive purchased a lot of collectors editions for MMO's (vanguard, guild wars, lord of the rings, D&D online, age of conan, tabula rasa, world of warcraft)

this is by far the best CE ive seen put together

Well, it's possible to break it down objectively.  On the assumption that OP doesn't value the art book or character miniature in the box, then it means he's paying for items which have no value to him and therefor he's not getting his money's worth. That or he's paying more than everyone else for just a couple in-game character faces and handful of items.

I buy CEs for the whole package and I'm quite content with WAR's.

true.  However, I think the whole point is moot since (to the best of my knowledge) you can no longer purchase the CE
