WAR (Warhammer Online)

I haven't really been able to find recent updates.  I looked into this game a while ago but haven't spent much time hunting recently.  I saw it was released and could definitlely use something to give me a break from WoW, or keep me from playing WotLK (since the changes being made are none-to-pleasing).

One of the things I heard that I really liked in an early build was that low level characters look different from high level characters.  As you levels your character would literally grow.  Orcs would grow taller and darker, dwarves would grow stockier and their beard would become larger.  Is any of this still in effect or have they scrapped it to keep RvR a fluid action?

I think it got "pushed" out of release a while ago.  Which is sad because I thought it was a great idea.

Pretty sure it's scrapped.  Your characters will appear to grow and advance in that armor gets more and more details and makes you look like a seasoned fighter as you level, but as for model changing I am pretty sure it got cut.

I dont know if its scrapped. But certainly its not in the forseeable future. Visual changes are often something that takes a low priority expecially when gameplay issues are in the forefront.

A few expansions away perhaps. Never say never

too bad, character growth would have been awesome. something no other mmo has done. AoC has fatalities, which are awesome and sets AoC apart, WaR should have had growth. too bad

A shame.

I dunno about actual growth but you can add different trophies to your armor making it look different...

I apologize because I literally know very, very little about the current game.  But I was looking at an 'armory' styled site that listed gear.  I'll admit the stats made no sense to me BUT, I did see on the bottom, room for 5 trophies.  I saw none of them had stats.  You say these improve on visuals?  Could you perhaps go into more detail about that?  Thanks in advance.

there's suppose be character grow since it was orignally planed just like other races careers. Just wait

Check this video out.  At about 3 mins in you can get a visual of what trophies are.  Please remember as you watch that this is very old beta footage and looks a little crappy, but you get teh idea. 

There are probably better video's, this was the first I found that had an in game shot of it.
