very innovative.. not.. all they did was offer rewards for something that did not have rewards.  it should have been there at launch, don't try and trick people into thinking blizzard actually knows what they are doing lol.

 

Millions of people seem to think so :) I'd say blizzard are doing a very good job at making money. Isnt that what a successful business does?

Obviously not.  Just look at Darkfall.  Best MMO on the market, and they haven't made a dime!  You really need a better meter for success, yours is broken.

When Mythic gives better rewards for RvR and motivate people to do RvR (gear, gold, renown, XP, buffs etc.) no other game will be comparable to WAR in terms of PvP/RvR fun. I am that certain.

Unfortunately that will be too late I fear.  Mythic had a shot of getting a jump on Blizzard before WoTLK came out and it couldn't capitalize on it.  Now that WoTLK is out and Mythic hasn't gotten a strong foothold yet, they won't have the numbers to get people to jump to their game.  Oh it will hover around where it's at now I think and it may even grow a bit over time, but it's never going to be the competitor to WoW that many thought it would be.

Just my opinion.  I could be wrong.

Ha ha.. Yeh ive read the reviews and seen the videos it looks...........erm... looks like a game that might make a profit if it attracts a good amount of people. (If in fact it is actually released)

I love the idea of the game but unfrotunatly Ive grown up a little since my SWG pre-cu days. Too many RL responsbilities now like looking after a family. Id never have the time to play a game that deep and sandboxy :D

Just to be back on topic:

Had my first win today in Lake Winter (after a few losses the previous days :)). Achievement on lvl 75 (normally you need to be 77-80).

Honor was 2100 something. As a corporal made 3 catapults with firebreath and cannonballs, was just promoted to lieutenant and on my way to the workplace for an assault tank, when the besieged Keep fell. Had a little party invited and I estimated a total of 50 players on the Alliance side, the Hordes were of course with MUCH more . Already a lot of 80's there now and of course some "normal" people in their mid 70's. No lag at all.

The castle fell although only 4 walls were breached (out of a possible 18). The trick was to concentrate on the center and roll up wall after wall while having diversion attacks on the flanks.

Duration : 40 minutes. Haven't seen any planes yet.

I have only ONE thing to say in regards to this thread:

DRIVING tanks and seige weapons of all sorts (some that you can even have a few players at a TIME in - especially good to add a mage or lock rapid firing spells in with you), and flying bombers YOURSELF (with full control) trumps like MAD the lame clicking on the groud to "control" a catapult, spill hot oil, etc. BS that Warhammer had.        No comparison....at all.

The people talkin' trash about WoW's new PvP, have obviously never PLAYED it.  They're trying to judge from past battlegrounds, arena, etc., and haven't even tried the new style of WoW PvP addiction....lol.  This is NOT like the old BGs, and is NOTHING like arena.  It feels like a war, and we've learned to HATE the other side of the server for four years now, so there is plenty of vehemence behind it.  It's electrically charged all out warfare and it's IMMENSELY FUN!

I'm EVER so glad that I made the decision to continue with WoW.
