• • Best loot comes from endless raiding like in WoW?

  • STOP comparing AoC to WoW, they are two totaly different games. If you like WoW, play WoW. If you dont like WoW, stop bringing it up. FC product manager Erling Ellingsen already talked about this in an interview. He explains that AoC has no interest in copying world of warcraft and that FC is making a new and innovative game, not a clone. WoW II should be made by blizzard (someone forgot to tell the mythic warhammer team this).

• • Looking for something like DAoC...

  • 
    I am a firm believer that DAoC was the best MMO ever made before it was molested by mythic to the point of quiting. WAR just continues this path of molestation, taking every good aspect of RvR and turning it into a PvE experience, instead of pvp which is what it is suppose to be.  Its my opinion that as far as the keep battles and such found in DAoC go, Age of Conan has taken them to the next level, whereas warhammer has taken them a step backwards. Though they are to totaly different games, AoC is focuses on hardcore free for all pvp with the option to play on a pve server with pvp limited to the border kingdoms. Warhammer focuses on an easy to play graphicaly inferior game that is dumbed down to be rounded for everyone, pvp is played out in instances or spawn camping zergs with very little if any keep seiges. Their focus is the mass market that WoW introduced, mostly consisting of Asians and North Americans around the age of 13.

    If  you want something fresh and innovated, that takes DAoC a step higher, I believe Age of Conan is the game to do this. If you want the sequel to world of warcraft that is a de-evolution of DAoC, I believe Warhammer is right for you. 

    On a side note, I really have no faith in mythic, one of the big things that got me, after they killed the game off with poor content and stupidity was the login poll. The one in particular that asked if you would pay extra for some basic game features, IE: transfering your character off a dead server like mordred, and some other stuff that was a direct result of Mythics neglect of the game and killing it off. Such things that should have been done for free to keep the game alive. I dont know where Mythic got the nerve to ask players to make micro payments and still continue their monthly fee, the account split for 40$ and the cost of a new account with all the expansions enabled (another 50$) was rediculous enough on its own. As far as I'm concerned, Mythic could pull out the best game ever made (which they cant and wont) and I still wouldn't buy/play it just because the bastards are so greedy and selfish.
