    There's far more PVE players than PVP so the numbers of people playing War Hammer will likely be lower for that reason, but that has nothing to do with success that's merely the companies success so who cares? I don't see war hammer as being a flop mythic's proved it can make a successful mmo allready with daoc for quite awhile it was one of the more popular mmo's going. I'm sure they'll only continue that success with War Hammer especially with all the extra resources availible now from the EA merger.

    Great last few posts!  Everyone celebrate now my poll has reached 200 voters for the second time this week.  Warhammer looks great in the preview that was given to us!  I cant wait to buy it or get into beta!

    Maybe, it depends on how good the game actually is

    im going to Warhammer, whatever it is like hehe


  • eyceleycel Member Posts: 1,334

    Is there any type of testing/beta going on for Warhammer.  Iv subscribed to the newsletter at this link Warhammer Newsletter   suposedly there is supose to be 5 winners to enter Warhammers beta every week or is it month.  What ever it is Iv yet to forage it.  Did any one ever get the chance to get into the beta tests of World of Warcraft?  Give some details of what the process was like.

     I've ben waiting for this to come out for over a decade now, and I've been playing warhammer for a good 15 years, and I know the fan base, so if this bombs, then Mythic will make all of its money back just on copies of the game! I'd say this game is bigger than Dnd because Dnd is mostly based here in america, and Warhammer is a worldwide game, mostly in europe. Also to get an army started you need at least 250$ U.S. dollars and all my friends have at least 3 armies, as most peeps will love the look and feel of multiple armies. I'm gonna buy one copy when it comes out. One for me, one for each of my friends, one for each member of my family, one for everyone at work....

    While I havent goton the chance to try out Warhammers  line up of single player games I was an avid fan of the single player warcraft series.  Maybee mdkt0 can give us some imput about some of the Warhammer single player titles.

    Hey, eycel, no matter how many polls you conduct, no matter how massive their importance, the only way Warhammer Online will become as popular and immensely-populated as WoW, will depend among the amount of people playing. So there's seriously no point trying to keep posting and posting over this thread over and over again.

    Another thing is, even if it were to be AS popular AS WoW, WoW reign will still be much stronger and powerful. Warhammer will most likely meet its peak of players at most after half a year.

    So I seriously wish you good luck in playing Warhammer, instead of talking in this forum, why don't you start earning some money for it?

    And this is somehow different from WoW how? I know you're just trolling but I'd like to know your logic.
    (and to answer your question, yeah you're still on Craggy Island)

    As to Warhammer doing better than WoW? In the US/etc I expect it will. If you exclude China WoW has 1.5 million subscribers (yeah, it's true, look it up) and thats not all that large a number to match when you consider DAoC and Warhammer and the RVR fanbase.

    I hope it does at least. I want a good PVP game, WoW's pvp is a total flop of craptacular preportions. I have to what? Sit around and wait in a queue to actually PVP? What moron thought that up? Probably the same idiots that thought adding a LFG system after 2 years and it doesn't include the most basic options of looking to see ALL the LFGs by level and class.



  • eyceleycel Member Posts: 1,334
    I throughly enjoyed the pvp system that was implimented .  Theres even more content with pvp coming are way too so things can only look brighter for pvp in World of Warcraft.  The stats are dead on, what other mmorpg has up to date statics of such a wide player base.

    Where is the "Yes, It would have if EA Games stayed out of it" button?

    Iv enjoyed to many EA titles to put that into my poll.  Besides we dont want to bring in rabid EA fans complaining about lack of support.

    That brings up a good topic!  How many retail boxes has World of Warcraft sold?  Ill take the first stab in the dark, needle in a hay stack guess at 300,000,000.  How did I come up with this anser.  I took the subsriber count times 40.   MAybee its even more like 150 maybee?  MAybee its closer to like say 1,125,000,000.  Yep that reads out to a little over 1 billion copies. Ok so maybee not this many were sold but the first one probubly is close.  image

    I do not have any doubt that this game wouldn't get plenty of subscribers, but i don't believe it'll be as succesful in the amount of playerbase as world of warcraft

    If you mean a game is sucessfull if it got lots of subscribers; not a chance. I think WAR will be a great game, though. Much more fun than WoW.image
