    Hey guys sorry if this topic has already been up but.. I have played World of Warcraft and got bored of it fairly quickly.. k well my question is, is Warhammer Online the same thing as World of Warcraft or is it different? I know they're both online games so generally your doing the same thing.. leveling up your char and what not...(excluding RVR and PVP etc..) but for a person who is bored of World of Warcraft is Warhammer Online better? Does it have a different feel than WoW?

    thanks! (sorry for all the lame questions)

    I could sit here and write a whole essay on why WAR is a much better MMOG over WoW, I simply don't have the time ;p

    I LOVE PvP and WAR is the absolute best at it. You constantly feel like you are in the middle of a huge war. I'm going to stop myself. Do yourself a favor and buy WAR. You'll either love me, or hate my guts for getting you addicted.

    While I have played WAR and decided it isn't for me, it is head and shoulders above WoW in most ways.

    My biggest gripe with WoW is the horrible community and "hello-kitty" graphics.

    WAR has a lot better community and improves on the graphics slightly.
    (at least they are less "hello-kitty")

    WAR however, feel more like Quake to me than an RPG. Kill, kill, die, res, kill kill kill die, res, and the world feels like little more than excuse to kill more.
