I can't remember.
ARRRGH 2 factions........hate to be pessimistic but this seems like it will be a wow clone
To the caterpillar it is the end of the world, to the master, it is a butterfly.
" Side with the forces of Order, or the vile hosts of Destruction, in a war that will unlock ancient secrets, reveal dark purposes, and determine the fate of the Sargos Sector. For in this dark millennium, there is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter. with the forces of Order, or the vile hosts of Destruction, in a war that will unlock ancient secrets, reveal dark purposes, and determine the fate of the Sargos Sector.

- official website
Uh oh. We got another WAR on our hands.
Wait, so Dark Age of Camelot was a WoW clone with 3 factions?
Don't even start with the 'clones'.
So, now WAR clones too. Oh jesus what has this website come to!
It has 2 factions not three check the website......
what was one of the failures of WAR? hint 2 factions......
maybe its too early, but they said it.
so ill say it again WOW clone (me showing the middle finger)
lol jk
I hope its not, but for starters im a little bummed

I was referring to the fact that you said it was a WoW clone simply by knowing it has more than one faction because that's all you know.
Also, you never played WAR if you think it failed because of factions. It failed because of balancing towards AoE and other things in the later game.
WAR had two factions. Order and Destruction. And according to the official website the WH40k game, will also ahve two factions names Order and Destruction. Coincidence? I think not.
Coincidence? I think so, THEY ARE IN THE SAME UNIVERSE! (Warhammer incase you didn't know)
I did mention one of the reasons it failed, not THE reason
that being said...I hope to god its not a wow clone, but you know as well as I that there are far too many clones and so many games have let us down. Why wouldn't they add a 3rd faction if it goes with the lore?
Anyways I refuse to get my hopes up...right now all I want to do is play a game thats not even out yet......IT SUCKS.....
They should redo ultima online in 3 d

I just hope all the WoW fan go ruin SWTOR and leave other people with this game. Everytime they say it will be a wow killer, they all jump in the new game, see it's not wow and go back. Leaving the new game with tons of servers almost dead.
If i remember correctly: Order and Destructions was an alliance special made for WAR to justify the reasoning behind the alliances that were made.
To assume Vigil isn't taking some kind of inspiration from mythics WAR after having said that would be outrageous. Unless this is a concept that GW came up with to justify any and all alliances in future games (WH40K and beyond.)
You are completely missing the fact that Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Online are in the same Universe just different time periods.
Order/Destruction
Humans/Space Marines
Orks/Orks
Gay Space Elves / Gay Elves
Get it?
Got it?
Good.
Factions had nothing to do with Warhammers demise.
There are too many people CLAIMING WoW clones.
I agree.
You're completly missing the point.
They could very easily name the two factions something entirely different than Order/Destruction.
What?
Good/Evil?
How cliche.
It's the same universe. The same concept. Relatively the same lore.
Warhammer and Warhammer 40k are not the same Universe
Important facts:
1. Free to Play games are poorly made.
2. Casuals are not all idiots, but idiots call themselves casuals.
3. Great solo and group content are not mutually exclusive, but they suffer when one is shoved into the mold of the other. The same is true of PvP and PvE.
4. Community is more important than you think.
It was definitely one of the strange, and ill-fated, decisions Mythic made when designing WAR. And the use of the exact terminology for the factions (Order & Destruction) has a rather foreboding feeling to it.
It kind of worked in WAR, from a lore point of view. Chaos and Dark Elves and Orcs could get together (though it is a real stretch). But for a 40k universe, even to have Eldar fight alongside Space Marines is not just lore-breaking but law-obliterating.
Sure there might be the odd time when there is some cooperation on a small scale, for a skirmish or a battle, when they band together to fight a common enemy - but this more often ended up in these factions ultimately fighting each other anyway. But if they are going to attempt to have the Order side be anything other than the followers of the Emperor (Imperial Guard, Space Marine chapters, Sisters of Battle, Inquisitors) then the game will be a shambles. All alien races are the enemy of the Emperor.
We have no idea what the playable races will be. But any real grouping of races into a faction is going to be crap. All races must be able to fight all races. If they want Orcs - Faction 1, Chaos - Faction 2, Space Marines/Imperial Guard - Faction 3, Eldar - Faction 4, Tau - Faction 5 etc. Can't see Necrons or Tyranids being a playable race
At least the two factions make more sense. Everyone is going to that sector in space to either stop the chaos or open the gates further. Surely the factions would set aside their personal animosity to save the entire universe ... or destroy it as the case may be.
It still looks pretty cool to me, just on first impressions.
Definetly NOT Good/Evil.
I can't tell you how many times Warhammer Lorist have ran the concept down my throat that " There is no good guys and bad guys, they're all the same because they all think they're justified."
But I'm not going to get into the whole lore crap again, those Warhammer Lorist take that shit too seriously to even consider having a discussion with.
None of you understand it.
Please, do your research.
Warhammer... and Warhammer... are in the same universe.
Look at the lore.
Look at the races.
Look at the lore.
This Warhammer is based in Horus Heresy back when Eldar and Empire were allies for instance.
No they are not. Sorry but you are wrong. They have two totally different lore sets and are two totally stand alone concepts that happen to have some of the same factors (orcs, elves, chaos). The lore 100% does not support your theory.
I honestly suggest you look at the lore, don't just read the heading of a wiki page.
Lolumad.
I am sorry that I have been entirely justified with what I have been saying. Don't claim you know something when clearly your facts don't support it.
I agree that a 3rd faction is a big missed opportunity. Doesn't make or break a game though.
Lol, because I mean it is totally a coincidence that Orks use WAAAAAAGH in both.
