I played thru Tortage around 10 times and i only enjoyed maybe the first 3. The best part about AoC is the fact that you can really enjoy it only once. This game has 0 replay value. I liked the game, but it does not deserve to be called great. After lvling 2 toons to 80 and one to 40 i realized that the game has nothing coming for it. WaR fun factor is outrageous. If you like team pvp and are part of a guild or group of people you can play with, WaR is a whole lot more fun the AoC even at lvl 10. If you played by yourself, i can see why your saying WaR didnt impress you. This game is fun, but the real fun starts when you play with a buncha friends. @ Openedge1

It is very polished. It has a great combo of pvp and pve. War is actually releasing in 3 stages. 1- Collector edition, 2- preorders, and finally everyone else. I believe they will ahve plenty of time for a good release. Have faith. War is awesome. It is very polished. It has a great combo of pvp and pve.

After being one of the sheep and trying WAR this weekend, I was not impressed.. Out of my boredom, I booted up Age of Conan, and reupped for a month. WTH??? This game is so much more fun. So, yes, I ALSO see this potential. It is huge. But.... Funcom is the main source of the problem. Someone argued with me once...how can AoC be good and Funcom so bad. It boils down to the core mechanics. WAR is an overdone mechanic. It reminded me too much of what I have already played. AoC does NOT do this. So, the games CORE is great. But, some database mismanagement, a company who will not admit to their mistakes (but I have heard they are starting), making changes that seem foolish in game... The COMPANY runs the game down, not the game itself. It did not have potential. It actually had something. But, Funcom is taking that something away. I can only hope they as a company get a glimmer from God, Jehovah, Buddha...whoever...and that this diety smacsk their hands and says "Naughty...put it back" And fix the RIGHT things soon. This really kills me also.
